This year marks the 100th anniversary of Mother’s Day. We’ve been celebrating moms for a century, and it’s no wonder why. Mom is arguably the most influential woman in our life. Who else has such an instrumental role in shaping the person we ultimately become? We owe it to our mothers to give them the treatment they deserve, at least one day a year.

Start her day out right with Mother’s Day flowers. Year after year, Mothers Day flowers are a winning Mother’s Day gift. All women like receiving flowers - in fact, 92% of them remember the last time they received them - so you really can’t go wrong. Unlike the quintessential neck tie that fails to excite Dad on Father’s Day, you can send Mother’s Day flowers every year and Mom will always feel special.

Need help selecting a Mother’s Day arrangement? Here are some of our suggestions.

Traditional Mom. Teleflora’s America’s Favorite Mom Bouquet is a win for moms that prefer traditional floral bouquets. A mix of pink alstromeria, stargazer lilies and roses in a luminous pink keepsake vase will be sure to win her heart.

Victorian Mom. Teleflora’s Victorian Teapot Bouquet will delight moms with an appreciation for Victorian chintz. The teapot is filled with roses, but will be a gift to last long after the flowers have gone

.

Modern Mom. Teleflora’s Watercolor Wonder is attracting a lot of attention this Mother’s Day, mostly due to its fun colors and modern simplicity.

Since the inception of commerce, luxury retailers have personally thanked their customers with personal notes and small gifts as a way to nurture client relationships. In an economic downturn, however, it’s even more critical to make an impact on your current clients. MSNBC.com posted an article last week that suggests that small gestures of thanks - such as sending flowers - may be the key in keeping clients when sales are taking a nosedive.

Easter morning is one of those much-anticpated moments in childhood for those who celebrate the holiday. Heck, it’s one of the 2 mornings a year we were allowed to eat candy before breakfast.  I still enjoy going through old pictures of my sister and I in our p.j.’s with malted milk balls stuffed in our cheeks, proudly holding our baskets filled toys and treats. 

This year, Flowershop.com is offering a selection of Easter baskets chocked full with classic Easter candies and goodies to delight children young and old.  Be the Easter Bunny this year and send Easter baskets to a soldier in Iraq to remind him of the innocence of childhood.  Have Flowershop.com deliver Easter baskets to your loved ones across the country who you once spent Easter with but they are no longer near.

For a twist on the Easter tradition, why not send Easter cookie bouquets filled with hand-made, iced sugar cookies in beautiful spring colors.  Or send a grandmother a lovely Easter corsage for her to wear to brunch.  At Flowershop.com, there are many ways you can play the Easter Bunny and send that magic of Easter to a loved one, even if it’s across the miles.  Just make sure you get to see the pictures.
