10 Unique 'Faux' Bouquets to Gift Mom This Mother’s Day

·4 min read

Flowers are a classic gift for birthdays, anniversaries and perhaps most of all, Valentine's Day and Mother's Day.

The latter is on May 14th (FRIENDLY REMINDER). But while beautiful blooms are often a welcome gift, they aren't a slam dunk. Spring has sprung and so has the pollen — just looking at photos of flowers may make Mom sneeze right now.

Others have black thumbs — who has time to water plants while playing chauffeur and working full time? And some moms simply prefer a more permanent gift.

It may sound high-maintenance, but get those thoughts out of your head. Mother's Day celebrates the woman who changed so many diapers. A little creativity can go a long way. There are tons of cool twists on flowers. Some prove roses can be red or crystal and rose gold too. Others allow you to literally build your own bouquet with a material that'll take you back to afterschool fun with Mom.

This Mother's Day, surprise mom with these thoughtful but off-the-beaten-rose-garden bouquets.
