FTD
For the mom who loves gorgeous blooms, look no further than FTD. They’ve been in the business of flowers for over 100 years, and they’ve got it down. They have a network of over 40,000 florists all around the country, so you might have an FTD florist around the corner from you or your mom! I’ve picked a few of my favorite bouquets, they’re perfect for Mother’s Day and feel perfect for springtime.
Ordering is so easy, just go online to FTD.com or order though a local FTD florist. Just order by 12p the Friday before Mother’s Day for Saturday delivery, or up until the day of Mother’s Day from a local florist for same-day delivery.
Also, if you’re in Chicago this weekend, make sure you stop by Water Tower Place either Friday, May 1st or Saturday, May 2nd. FTD has set up a 12,000 flower wall, and is offering some fun activities to do with your mom, including some demos! So go snap some photos and when you post to Instagram, use the hashtag #FTDMyMomIs to be entered to win a free year of flowers! Don’t miss out on this opportunity, it’s sure to be gorgeous!
Personal Creations
Personalization is a great way to add a little something extra to a gift, and make the recipient feel like it was made just for them. Personal Creations has something for everyone, for every interest and lifestyle. They have everything from home décor (including kitchen accessories for the cook!), jewelry and even great additions for the garden.
Some of my favorites are the Photo Pendant Necklace, which you can customize with a photo and message on the back. They’re a great keepsake, and your mom can wear it everyday. If you want to get her something for her home, the Hearts Full of Love collection is so cute, and has mugs, totes, and this adorable pillow! Customize it with the names of her kids and/or grandkids, and she’s sure to love it. If mom has a green thumb, get her something she can enjoy while she’s tending to her garden. This planter tub is a great option, or what about these great stepping stones? Both are great options, and you know she’ll love them!
All products can be ordered online at www.personalcreations.com. Select items can be ordered up until Friday, May 8th for delivery on Saturday.
Shari’s Berries
These delicious gourmet dipped strawberries are dipped in milk, dark or white chocolate, and topped with pink shimmer sugar, white swizzles, or chocolate chips. I think it goes without saying that if mom loves sweets, these will be a winner! Another great option are cake truffles, which come in flavors like Salted Caramel, S’mores and Red Velvet. Again, I don’t think you can go wrong with these!
If this is the gift for your mom, you’re in luck!
Shari’s Berries is offering Sunday Mother’s Day delivery, just order by Saturday, May 9th at 12 noon for Mother’s Day delivery. Order online at www.berries.com or with the free Shari’s Berries app.

My Mother passed away 2 years ago and I would like to honor my Aunt Sandy for being there for me. She was very close to my Mom Also~ we lean on each other.
I just love her bunches!

‘What My Mom Means To Me”: The words unconditional love comes to mind. My mother is ‘my favorite girl’ and that’s no secret. She means more than words can express. I’m blessed to have her as my best friend and sister in Christ. She means so much to me; I can’t help but to respect and honor her. Sending you flowers now so, you can enjoy the beauty and aroma. Happy Mother’s Day Ma!!!!

My Mom passed away in 1994. I am so blessed to have my mother-in-law, Mary Therese, in my life. She is also my Mom. I have two girls. She treats me the same as her biological daughters and makes my girls feel special too. I would love to use this gift certificate to buy my Mom something special for Mothers Day.

Mom,
Through all the storms and sunshine,
I am yours and you are mine,
Love always and forever!

My mom is the best person I know!

My mom has been my biggest cheerleader and support throughout my life. There came a time where our father was unable to be there for us, and my mom gave up her life to give my brother and I the opportunity to become independent and loving people. My mom suffers from fibromyalgia and other health issues, but is always selfless and there to listen to our minuscule complaints and give us the best advice we could ever imagine. She gave me life in so many ways and I wouldn’t be the woman I am today without her.
Liisa Gunter
My Mom has been gone now 15 years….
So sad, but I have LOTS of happy memories to share with my children.
I do have the BEST Mother in Law.
Bonnie is a very caring and loving person to each that she knows and meets.

For my good friend Amy who is a super Mom. As a single Mom, she adopted 2 beautiful girls from overseas. They bring such big smiles to everyone they meet and they all love flowers!

Hi Corri,
My mother means the universe to me because she is an amazing human being who always has & continues to go above & beyond for her 3 children. She supersedes being a mom by nurturing and instilling wonderful morals & good values to her grandchildren too. She is absolutely phenomenal & I am not certain if I could ever repay her in this lifetime for all she has done for us. My mom ALWAYS thinks of everyone else before herself and has a genuine heart of gold. I’d be fortunate enough to become half the woman she is. I am so thankful, grateful and blessed to call her MY MOTHER.
Chris Reed
My mother has always has my back if and when it was needed and on my case when it was needed. She is and still is a person that I could confide in on just any topic of concern. She’s encouraging, loving, caring, trustworthy, honest, independent, and a role model for me as a son growing up into a responsible adult male who would later get married too with the same qualities to share with his family, wife, and son. I love and respect my mom then, now, and always will.
Kara
My mom has always encouraged me to follow my dreams and made sacrifices for my sister and I. she has been encouraged a lot of values and holiday traditions. Its nice the older we get we are able to appreciate them and start to give back to her and the traditions she started.
Jennifer Essad
Our mom taught us so much, cooking/baking/sewing/gardening all the things I so appreciate now in life. The most memorable was teaching us all to swim when they put in our first backyard pool.
Kasey W
I lost my mom 17 years ago. Ever since then my aunt has stepped up and been there for me when my son had health problems, needed advice etc. I would love to honor her this Mother’s Day because she has helped me to be the mother I am today.
Anna Pry
My mom means ‘strength’ and ‘courage’ to me. She’s overcome so much in life and just keeps going!
I love my mom!!
thanks for the chance to win this for her 🙂
