As promised, I have some alternative Mother's Day gift ideas for my avid blog readers! [Though I stand by flowers thru and thru.] We are going to keep this post simple and straightforward, bullet point style...- Cards! It is nice to give a gift, but what you have to say along with it means the most. We all have a sentimental side, but, based off of personal experience, mommas tend to really love the sappy stuff. My exciting twist on the card? Make it yourself! And better yet, bring it in to us so we can attach it to a colorful arrangement.
- Plants! Before you say "psh, you're such a cliche gift idea giver", let me explain. You can absolutely stick with the classics and do a nice green or blooming plant in a pretty container, but this year we are thinking out of the box. Since you all read my blog religiously, I know you know what a dish garden is. Why not send your mother a collection of HERBS?! It is unique and functional! It will look pretty, smell incredible, and even taste delicious :)
- Gift Certificates! The ultimate cop out gift idea, you say?! Shame on you! We have seen some pretty creative gift card giving in our days. Bring us a collection of gift certificates to your mom or wife's favorite hot spots and we can make an arrangement with them! She can get all of her favorites in one: flowers, a spa day, a lovely dinner at her favorite restaurant, and maybe even a mini shopping spree. But don't think you have to have a ton of gift cards for one of these arrangements; you could have just one that we feature in the bouquet!
If you're still stumped, come into our store! We are full of ideas, and sometimes it's best to talk about them in person. But hurry up! Mother's Day is soon and you are running out of time!
