Yes it's that time of year again - Mother's Day is nearly here
We have just had an amazingly busy Valentines Day in both our Hove and Southampton stores and now we are heading rapidly towards Mothers Day, Sunday 6th March, followed closely by International Women's Day on Tuesday 8th March.
We all love roses but our florists are getting really excited about Spring flowers which are traditionally really popular gifts for Mothers Day. The shops will fill with the heady scent of freesias, hyacinths, tete a tete, paperwhites, tulips and everyone's favourite: daffodils.
Five ways to show your Mum you care this Mothers Day
1. A phone call. Tell her you love her!
2. A card. Not one of those email cards but one you have gone out and selected with a bit of thought. A handmade one would be even better.
3. A visit. Go on, go and see your mum and give her a big old hug!
4. A meal. Cook a special meal for her, or if your skills are lacking in the kitchen department take her out for lunch. Think of how many meals she has cooked for you.
5. A bouquet (finally!). Send her some beautiful flowers. Real flowers. Not the scentless, unimaginative bunches you find in the supermarket or local garage but a really decent bouquet from a good florist. They can make a bouquet to include your mum's favourite flowers and colours. A good florist will also be able to offer you expert advice and guidance if you need it. Also most florists can deliver chocolates or champagne with your bouquet, something that most mothers would be delighted to receive.
However you choose to thank your mum this Mothers Day she will be thrilled that you showed her you care and that you appreciate everything she has done for you because after all, no one loves you like she does.
