13 Thoughtful Gifts You Can Have Delivered to Mom This Mother's Day
No need to fight the crowds for gifts, treats, flowers, or even dinner for mom this year. Instead, create a special Mother's Day with these incredible gift and food options shipped nationwide and delivered right to her doorstep.
UrbanStems
Mother's Day Flowers
Modern Day Delivered Bouquets
Flowers are a classic mom's day gift for a reason: Who can say no to bright spring blooms? However, not all arrangements are created equal. To really wow mom, try a contemporary arrangement from UrbanStems crafted with flowers from only Rainforest Alliance Certified farms. Try a bright and elegant bouquet such as The Firecracker (pictured above) or focus on her favorite bloom, such as the pink cloudburst of The Peony. To buy: Urbanstems.com
Flowers You Can Eat
Does mom have a sweet tooth as well as a love of flora? Try a bouquet of gorgeous dried-flower shortbread from Alma Kitchen. The gourmet botanical cookies come in such combinations as honey Earl Grey, chamomile ginger citron, and peach blossom white tea, and all are hand-decorated with dried and pressed edible violas. Not only are they as lovely to eat as to look at, but a portion of each sale funds the planting of a tree. To buy: Almakitchenco.com
Long-Lasting Herb Garden
Is mom the practical sort who enjoys live flowers, but then immediately feels bad they'll have to (eventually) be thrown away? Save her from the mom guilt with a plant gift that truly keeps on giving. Try a multi herb-filled windowsill garden from Harry & David. This rustic, reclaimed wood crate with rosemary, thyme, and sage plants will keep growing all summer. To buy: Harryanddavid.com
Edible Arrangements
And if you'd rather have a flower arrangement you can eat, try a bouquet of fruit cut like flowers, dipped in chocolate, and arranged like a bouquet. Add chocolate sunglasses for the whimsical win with this Daisy Treat from Fruit Bouquets. To buy: Fruitbouquets.com
