Getting your mum flowers on Mother’s Day is a time-honoured tradition. Nowadays, people are also going the extra mile and pairing their gift with flowers to show their appreciation, admiration and love to the special woman in their lives.
When it comes to picking out gifts, it’s useful to keep your mum’s personality and interests at the forefront of your decision. She could be a homemaker, an active and fit person, or someone who deserves a relaxing break from her busy schedules. Here, we share some gift ideas you can pair with our floral arrangements at Charlotte Puxley Flowers and show love to mum.
For the sentimental mum
Our mums do so much more loving than we realise; she is there when you need a listening ear, a shoulder to lean on, the warmth of a hug, or some advice and wisdom. Go the sentimental route with a custom-made jewellery piece. For instance, you can include engravings of birthdates, names or meaningful quotes on the necklace or bracelet – she will cherish it in her heart for years to come.
Complete your gift with our Dora floral centerpiece, filled with creams and pinks to express your gratitude for all she has done. This pastel arrangement features a matte and footed terracotta bowl that will complement any part of the house.
For the fitness-loving mum
As your mum continues on her journey to remain fit and healthy, keep her motivated while she gets her sweat on. A fitness tracking wristband or a pair of wireless headphones make great gifts for her daily walks, jogging routine or sweaty workout session. You can also throw in a fitness class subscription – from strength training to aquatic aerobics – to let her try something new and show your support for her active lifestyle.
Surprise your mum with our Dolly floral arrangement, filled with bright and colourful flowers that will bring a smile to her face. Arranged in a classic white ceramic bowl, seeing these blooms in yellows, oranges and reds will remind you of the zest and exuberance your mum has for life.
For the foodie mum
Nothing beats home-cooked food, with the secret ingredient being none other than mum’s love. If she enjoys her time in the kitchen whipping up tried-and-true recipes and exploring new culinary delights for dinnertime, there are plenty of kitchen appliances that will look beautiful on her kitchen counter and still be practical. Whether it’s a fancy coffee machine, air fryer or stand mixer, it can help make her time in the kitchen easier and sweeter.
Our Nancy arrangement is the perfect addition to the kitchen, complementing the space with magenta pink, deep red and lilac florals. It comes in a 1.5L Spritz pitcher sourced and hand crafted in Italy, that can also be used for dinner with the family or drinks on the weekend.
For the busy working mum
If there’s anyone who deserves a little pampering, it’s certainly mum. For all of her efforts and sacrifices juggling with the responsibilities in her life, help her relieve some tension and melt away her stress. You can get creative with this gift idea that promotes self-care and encourages her to unwind and relax. From weighted blankets to neck massagers and candles, you can also surprise her with a spa treatment or hotel staycation so she can have a little ‘me-time’ for relaxation.
Let our Gertrude arrangement of whites and greens make her day. With just a touch of yellow to brighten her mood, this classic centrepiece is arranged in our tall Esio Trot hand-blown glass vase, sourced all the way from Hungary, which can still make a decorative statement at home, even without flowers.
Final thoughts
Show love to your mum with our special Mother’s Day collection, available in vase arrangements and hand bouquets. And this year, we offer reusable vases and no-packaging options to cut down on floral foams and single-use plastic that add to the environment’s waste. Delivery is available in two time slots (morning and afternoon). Self-collection can also be done at our studio in Outram during our opening hours or Park Bench Deli on the weekends as part of a special collaboration this year.
