Who here finds shopping for your mom a challenge?  *Raises hand*!  My mom is not the easiest to shop for because when she wants something she often just gets it herself.  Great for her, but hard for me! However, she loves receiving flowers and it’s not something she would buy herself. Plus, there’s just something about opening the door and finding a large box full of beautiful blooms at your doorstep that triggers those emotional happy points, so I will often gift her a large flower bouquet for Mother’s Day. I’m a big flower girl myself (peonies, sunflowers, roses, and orchids are always calling my name), so really enjoy giving and receiving them too. These are my go-to places when shopping for flowers:

1| Farmgirl Flowers – just a few years ago, Farmgirl Flowers was only shipping in California, but now they ship across the entire U.S., so everyone can now enjoy these beauties! They are my go-to, especially when I can’t give flowers in person. All their bouquets are hand-tied in burlap, and the quality of the flowers are top notch. You can tell they love what they do, and every bouquet is a delicately arranged piece of art. I’ve ordered from them many times over the years, and have even been on the receiving end a handful of times. I’m always impressed, and never disappointed. The packaging, and attention to detail is second to none. This is my #1 place for buying flowers!

They deliver excellent quality farm-fresh blooms that are cut from eco-friendly, sustainable local farms. The flowers don’t get cut until you order. Talk about fresh!

I don’t think you can go wrong with Costco, and if you’re disappointed, their return policy is so good that I have no doubt they’d give you your money back if you were disappointed in your flowers for any reason. You can also order directly from Costco.com and have your flowers shipped.

I really love browsing the flower section of Trader Joe’s whenever I’m there for my grocery shopping, and find that there’s a pretty decent selection at affordable prices.
