Well I had a little crush on shoes during the last posts. So here comes something different! I actually started realizing today that mothers day is approaching super fast (May 11th)! So what to give to your mother? As usual with gifts I like to adhere to the 3 F rule (flowers, food or fashion), which I already presented to you in my Valentins day gift guide. Here is a list of my favorite mothers day gifts. Lets start with flowers!

Mothers day gifts – Yves Piaget roses

I guess there are few people in the world, who don’t like flowers. My favorite ones are roses (But only the ones that have a beautiful scent – A rose that doesn’t smell isn’t a real rose!!!). Yves Piaget roses with their deep, almost peony like petals, and incredible smell are adorable. Arranged with green hortensia and a spot of mauve they are among the best mothers day gifts I can imagine.

Mothers day gifts – Black Baccarat roses

The Black Baccarat, a deep burgundy flower is another unbelievable style. They work so well with blue flowers and a spot of green.

Mothers day gifts – Frederic Mistral roses

Frederic Mistral roses are another fabulous species. They are light pink and have a sweet tea like scent.

While I almost always buy un-arranged flowers at street vendors for my home decoration I strongly prefer floral arrangements as presents. If you have time its also a good idea to buy single flowers and do the arrangement yourself to give the present an additional personal touch (particularly great for mothers day and usually what I am going to do!!!).
