A scent-sational floral display

You can’t go wrong with flowers—they work whether you’re near (drop them yourself) or far (have them shipped). For a fun spin, you can always plant some flowers in her yard as a surprise—they bring joy for a longer period of time than fresh-cut blossoms in a vase. Or (can’t help myself here!), go herbal. Plant a kitchen herb garden and give mom the gift of good flavor that she can use in all her favorite recipes.
