No matter how hard I try to prepare for it, Mother’s Day (which falls on 15 March this year) always seems to creep up and surprise me.

And if your mum is tricky to buy for (so many of us are), then when you do remember that it’s right around the corner, there’s an extra layer of stress to contend with over choosing the right gift.

But there’s no need to overthink it. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Why not go with a beautiful bunch of blooms, and brighten up your mum’s day after a long, wet, and very grim winter?

In fact, our Parents editor (who also happens to be a mum-of-two) says one of her favourite gifts in recent years was a three-month flower subscription, which really brightened up the rainier days (of which we’ve had many).

Luckily for all of us, family-run florist Bunches has a huge range of gorge flowers to choose from, to suit a range of budgets. What’s more, 10% of profits go to charity, so you’re doing good at the same time. 

Take their Happy Mother’s Day Bouquet, for instance, which costs just £26.95 and is made up of big purple and white carnations, a pink chrysanthemum, and sweet little limonium.

Then there’s the Thank You Mum Gift package, which, for £31.95, covers all bases and includes vibrant pink and white blooms, a card, and some delicious shortbread biscuits.

If your mum has more of a green thumb, there are plenty of plants to choose from, too. Like the elegant White Azalea Plant, the bright Yellow Calla Lily Plant, and the playful purple Phalaenopsis Orchid – all under £35. 

And for those with pets (or young kids) who like to help themselves to things they really shouldn’t, the pet-friendly and non-toxic Yellow Rose Plant is the ideal choice.

It also arrives at her door in bud, which means she’ll get to enjoy the sight of it blooming day by day. 

Alternatively, for just £19.99, you can get her a Happy Mother’s Day Hamper, which has everything you need for a delightful afternoon tea, including scones, strawberry jam, shortbread, and a special tea blend. What a bargain. 

And if you’d like her blooms to last month after month, the bright Meadow Memories Dried Letterbox flowers, for £26, arrive in a letterbox-sized box with wrapping to protect them. 

Don’t leave your gift-buying to the last stressful minute – think ahead and pick the flowers you know she’ll love.
