One day a year, we cancel all our usual plans and set out to make the day super special for that one amazing woman in our life – mom.

Flower arrangements and plants are probably the most traditional Mother’s Day gift. They are such a personalized way of making her feel special. Nothing says “I love you” more than picking a bouquet that is just her style.

Here is a list of popular Mother’s Day bouquets, plants, and floral arrangements:

• Mixed bouquets
• Carnations
• Daffodils
• Roses
• Tulip
• Freesia
• Chrysanthemums
• Iris
• Lily
• Foliage plants

This year, consider a silk flower arrangement for her. Not only are they hypoallergenic and low maintenance, they also won’t end up in next week’s trash. Silk plants and flowers have come a long way from their plastic ancestors. With extremely lifelike and artistic branches, leaves, and blooms, even your green-thumb mom will love a silk arrangement.

Another recent trend is homemade gifts for mom. Consider one of the following:

• Custom made “mother” jewelry
• A tea cup and saucer decorated personally at a local pottery club
• A memoir of random photos, quotations, and notes arranged in a leather bound album
• A hand painted glass vase to hold flower bouquet
• If her children or grandchildren are young, she will love a homemade gift such as a hand painted magnet, a personally decorated ornament of some sort, or a unique wooden craft designed to please her personal taste and style.

To bring your Mother’s Day celebration full circle, end her day with one of the following:

• Dinner at her favorite restaurant. Moms around the world agree: the best way to make food taste even better is to have someone else cook it and clean up after it!
• Coffee, tea, and cake with her family. Turn the TV off, gather on the front porch or back deck and tell mom of all the times she’s been your hero.
• Give her a card with a very meaningful hand written message that she can enjoy time after time.
• Treat her with a gift certificate to her favorite salon for a hair or nail treatment.

How can we even start to thank mom for all she’s done for us. This year, go the extra mile and make this Mother’s Day celebration really stand out!! Mom’s a star – let her shine!
