Mother's Day: why it matters

Beyond the date, Mother's Day is an occasion to recognise and give thanks. In Spain it's celebrated on the first Sunday of May, and it's one of the days when the most flowers are given all year.

The point isn't to spend a lot, but the thought: a bouquet chosen with her in mind is worth more than any generic gift.

The flowers that best say «thank you, mum»

Some flowers convey the affection and gratitude of the day especially well:

• Hydrangeas: they symbolise gratitude and sincere feelings; elegant and full of volume. See the hydrangea bouquets.
• Peonies: delicate and romantic, perfect if your mum loves charming flowers. See the peony bouquets.
• Roses: in pink or pastel tones they convey affection without feeling «for a partner». See the rose bouquets.
• Bright mixed bouquets: if you prefer colour and life, a seasonal flower bouquet never fails.

If in doubt, think of her favourite flower or colour: that's the surest hit.

Gift ideas by your mum and your budget

Not all mums are alike, nor all budgets. A few ideas:

• A classic token: a lovely, well-presented bouquet. Simple and always right.
• Something lasting: an indoor plant or an orchid to keep her company for months.
• To surprise: a more special bouquet, or pair it with a small detail; the gesture is appreciated twice over.

Add a heartfelt message

A simple card multiplies the value of the gift. Nothing elaborate needed: a few words of your own —«thank you for always being there», «I love you, mum»— mean more than the most polished line copied online. If you wish, we prepare it and include it with your bouquet.
