Flowers are a safe and well-loved default for Mother’s Day and if you ARE going to send Mom flowers, you may as well do it while supporting a small business that practices fair labor laws and ethically grows their roses.
However, if you plan to go the non-perishable gift route, I’ve found another 49 gifts that are sure to please the woman you are celebrating … be it your Mom, your StepMom, a Mom-To-Be, a Dog (or Cat) Mom, or an otherwise Mother figure. Cheers to whoever is the most important woman in your life!
