Mother's Day Is Sunday

My husband and I were discussing what to get his mom for Mothers day. I saw this ad for 1800Flowers.com where you could buy a dozen roses and get a dozen FREE with a vase and a small box of chocolates for $29.99. Flowers were a good idea, but hubby wanted to know if there were any other gifts we could get his mom. I searched around the 1800Flowers.com website and came across the Barefoot in Paris gift set. Hubby’s mom likes to cook so this would be a great gift since it includes the Barefoot Contessa’s cookbook.

Another gift mom would like is the Picnic Basket gift set, because she collects baskets. On one of her trips up to the mountains to hike around, she could take this basket and have a fun picnic with the lemon, key lime cookies, crackers and cheese, Tuscan snack mix and more. This gift looked so nice I wanted one! The Chocolate Spa set looked yummy and the thought of bathing in chocolate sounded interesting. I wondered if we got this for hubby’s mom if she would come out smelling like a Godiva candy bar!

Despite all the interesting gift options, hubby decided on the Mothers day flowers special, because mom never received roses throughout the year. Mother’s Day would be the perfect day to get two dozen colorful roses to smell and enjoy. Plus, the box of chocolates would be a nice treat for mom to indulge on during her special day!
