Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
Mother's Day is just around the corner, and it's time to start thinking about the perfect gift to show your mom how much you appreciate her. While there are plenty of gift options out there, fresh cut flowers make an excellent choice. Not only are they beautiful and thoughtful, but they also offer many benefits that your mom will surely appreciate. In this blog post, we'll explore three reasons why locally grown flowers would make a great gift and offer suggestions for other gifts or activities to pair with the fresh cut flowers for Mother's Day.
Fresh Cut Flowers Are Beautiful
I may be biased but, I think there's no denying that fresh cut flowers are beautiful. They come in a wide range of colors, shapes, and sizes, and each variety has its unique beauty. Fresh cut flowers also have a way of bringing life and vibrancy into a room, making them the perfect gift for any occasion.
Locally Grown Flowers Support Your Community
When you choose locally grown flowers, you're not only supporting your mom's happiness, but you're also supporting your community. Flower farmers (like me!) work hard to cultivate beautiful blooms that are more sustainable and eco-friendly than those shipped from far away. By choosing locally grown flowers, you're supporting small businesses and helping to reduce your carbon footprint.
Fresh Cut Flowers Have Health Benefits
Did you know that fresh cut flowers have health benefits? Studies have shown that being around flowers can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. They can also help improve mood, boost productivity, and increase overall happiness. By giving your mom a beautiful bouquet of fresh cut flowers, you're not only showing her your love and appreciation but also providing her with a gift that will promote her health and wellbeing.
Pairing Gift Suggestions:
Now that you've decided on fresh cut flowers for Mother's Day, you may be wondering what else you can do to make the day extra special. Here are some gift suggestions that will pair perfectly with your bouquet of locally grown flowers:
Breakfast in Bed: Surprise your mom with a delicious breakfast in bed. Make her favorite meal and serve it on a tray with a vase of fresh cut flowers. Or, grab to-go pastries from Sweets by Sarah Bakery in Fair Haven and serve those with some Imprint Coffee in bed! Supporting three local businesses and giving mom a great morning, I think that would be a win!
Spa Day: Treat your mom to a relaxing spa day. Book a massage or facial, and include a bouquet of fresh cut flowers as a thoughtful touch. My favorite local spa is Mirbeau in Skaneateles. They often run deals for mid=-week treatments so be on the lookout!
Flower Subscription: If your mom really loves fresh flowers you can pair your spring bouquet with a summer or fall (or both!) flower subscription. The flowers will come right to her door, or can be picked up on farm.
Our farm grown flowers are beautiful, locally grown, and have health benefits. Pair them with a thoughtful gift or activity to make the day even more special. Show your mom how much you love and appreciate her by giving her a thoughtful gift and connecting her to nature!
