Last Minute Mothers Day - Order Those Flowers

Every year I try to plan ahead and ask my mom what she wants for Mothers day. Every year she says the same thing, "Oh, don't worry about me." One year I took her up on that and gave her a call to let her know she was appreciated but didn't actually buy her anything. Big mistake. This year, I'm going with flowers.

After hearing about it for a very long time I determined that what my mom said was much different than what she meant. What she said was "don't worry about me." What she meant was "Go ahead and order me some flowers but don't worry about making a big production of it. But do order the flowers."

This year I placed my order for Mothers day flowers early. For those of you who haven't been berated enough by guilt to order early you can still place mothers day orders with 1800flowers for delivery. So get to it! Even if your mom says she "doesn't need anything" don't translate that as "doesn't want anything." Order those flowers!

1800flowers for Mother's Day

My mom is hard to shop for. Every year at Christmas, her birthday, and especially mother's day I wonder what to get her. I resisted giving her flowers for a while because I thought it was too generic. Last year, however, I visited 1800flowers and wound up getting her the most beautiful flowers for mothers day.

She loved them. The selection of flowers and gifts was so big that I was able to pick out something that was special for my mom. I didn't want to get her roses or an ordinary arrangement and I was able to choose a beautiful selection of flowers that I knew would be stunning. I also sent with it a small gift of fruits that she thoroughly enjoyed (she doesn't care much for chocolate). This year I will also be purchasing flowers for mothers day since I know there is enough variety to get her another very special selection. I can only hope that when my kids get old enough to shop for me they do the same. I think I'm more partial to the wine and cheese (also available from 1800flowers - yeah!) than the fruit gift basket though!
