Flowers are the preferred mothers day gifts for different reasons, some send them because theyre considered to be the very symbol of mothers day while others just send them because theyre an easy and presumable cheap solution. If it isnt a bunch of flowers being delivered to your mothers doorstep, its a spa gift certificate in the mailbox.
The truth is that there really is no such thing as a gift symbolic of mothers day. Spas and flower shops practically exist for this day. Its a holiday when they clean up and thats why they promote themselves all the more as ideal mothers day gifts. If you look at moms with toddlers, theyre just as happy getting handmade cups and crafts as they are with anything else. To assume that flowers and spas are the only thing that can make a mom happy on mothers day is wrong.
As far as flowers being a cheap and easy gift is concerned, it isnt true. On any normal day of the year, flowers arent expensive but two weeks before any major holiday like Valentines Day or mothers day, the price of flowers sky rockets. Even online retailers of flowers (they have far less operational costs) sell ordinary flowers for a higher price while cleverly disguising it using the old Strike out a higher price and show a lower one method.
In the modest budget of just $40-$60, you can get a mothers day gift better than just a dozen tulips. Mothers day gift baskets are one such gift that feature a lot of variety and are genuinely appreciated because theyre actually more than one gift. If you think that gift baskets dont have enough sparkle to them you can opt for similar gifts like fruit bouquets. Fruit bouquets are a lot like gift baskets only the presentation is much better and they make an awesome gift for mothers day. They look like flowers (the fruit is cut with incredible craft) so you not only get a great gift but the flowers are included. Shop smart this mothers day!
