Where to Buy Flowers for Mother’s Day at the Last Minute
Attention! Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 13th. It’s not too late right now to order your mom something cool on Amazon Prime, or even go shopping for the perfect gift. If you’re short on time (or if you come across this article on Saturday night), you can also always take advantage of one gift that almost all moms love: flowers.
If you want to send your mom a bouquet to celebrate this day, there are many options.
Keep in mind that you are probably not the only one trying to do this discreetly, so the sooner you make this purchase (read: stop what you are doing and just order something now) the better. Ordering early means better choices and ultimately better (and perhaps less expensive to you) flowers for your mom.
That said, if you come in the last hours, here’s a rundown of some of the last-minute procrastinators:
Bloom what
I am personally a Bloom That fan because of the cool burlap wrap he uses for his bouquets. Come on, that’s pretty cute. Bouquets start at $ 32 and can be shipped nationwide next day and delivered same day to the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and New York.
Bouquets
Bux is another favorite at the Lifehacker office. It offers bouquets from $ 36 that are grown on organic farms. You can use this service to send your mom flowers on a big day, and if you really aspire to the position of the child of the year, you can set everything up so that she gets a new bouquet every week or month in the future. Bouquet usually offers unique bouquets upon request in as little as two hours, but expect them to be busy on Saturday.
Flowers from you
From You Flowers offers same day US flower delivery starting at $ 34.99. For things to arrive on the same day, you need to order by 3pm on Saturday (which, let’s face it, if you haven’t, you’re already in trouble). They also have a few gift baskets, although they can get a little pricey. For example, a set of 12 Chocolate Covered Strawberries costs $ 54.99.
FTD
FTD was a service my mom always used when delivering flowers. He works with florists across the country to deliver Flowers per Hour. In most cases, if you place your order before 2:00 pm local time, where you want the flowers to be delivered, they will arrive by the end of the day. Special times apply to weekends and holidays, including Mother’s Day, so it is best to book as early as possible if you choose this route. Prices start at $ 40 for a bouquet that includes a vase.
