Clever Ideas For Mother's Day!

Sure, we know Mom's are great and there is nothing like a bouquet of flowers on her special day. This year, why not suggest that your customers spice it up with some clever variations, No doubt Mom’s will love the gifts and more than that, your customers will appreciate your inventiveness! 

• Suggest they invite Mom to brunch or dinner at her favorite restaurant and have a flower arrangement delivered right to her table for all to see.
• For Moms that like to cook, why not suggest an herb garden design with several small pots of herbs.
• Make a special tribute to Mom by sending a decorated "Mother's Day Tree." Ask your customer to bring several of their favorite family photos to you and attach them to a plant or miniature tree using colorful ribbons. Prepare the photos ahead of time by pasting them onto pretty colored papers or put them in small frames.
• If their Mom is planning on attending worship on Mother's Day, have them find out what she plans to wear and design a special corsage to match. They might also consider choosing a new dress or hat for Mom and have it boxed and wrapped with the corsage in place of a bow on the outside.
• Encourage them to give Mom something to relax with by wrapping a new book or DVD and place it into a fragrant flower bouquet with a note that reads "Today is your day to relax!"
• Why not help them create a special spa kit. A few days ahead of time, have them bring goodies like nail polish, a loofa sponge, bath crystals, oils and other pampering items to you and design a basket with the spa items on one side and flowers on the other. They could even add a certificate for a manicure, pedicure, massage or spa treatments at a local day spa or salon.
• Incorporate flowers into a theme gift. If Mom is an avid gardener, create a design that includes gardening goodies such as a trowel, garden gloves, seed packets and tools. If Mom is a bird watcher, how about a design in a bird feeder? An athletic would certainly appreciate a pair of workout shoes - with flowers arranged inside. Tennis balls, golf balls or sport headbands can be a unique addition to any floral arrangement. If Mom loves clothes or jewelry, tie a scarf or drape a necklace around a vase of flowers to make the gift extra special.
