Of all the gifts you can give for Mothers Day, flowers get the nod. More safe than sweets, more personal than gift certificates, Mothers Day flowers, in one shape or form, are a tradition around these parts. Whether they’re bought online or in a good old fashioned bricks and mortar store, a nice little bouquet can go a long way to making Mom happy on her day …

Given the time, I like to shop for Mothers Day flowers online. While I do enjoy an occasional trip to the florist, I’m too easily distracted by all of the sights and smells. And then there are the inevitable lines of impatient customers. All of this usually leads to me spending more time, money, and patience than I have allocated.

Choosing a Mothers Day flower arrangement from a web catalog, on the other hand, is always a much faster process. (Well, for me, at least.)
