Mother's Day Gifts - Sometimes Artificial is Better Than Real

Mother's Day gifts are often a card and some flowers. I won't be giving my mother any real flowers this year, or any other year... she's allergic to most kinds of flowers. She loves flowers, but unfortunately cannot be around them. Instead, my parents have bouquets of artificial flowers scattered about their home.

So... I am looking into sending artificial flowers as one of my Mothers Day gifts to her. It so happens that 1800FLOWERS.com offers a plethora of different types of artificial flowers along with its assortment of real ones. Besides the fact that my mother won't have visit the emergency room for a quick shot of cortisone, artificial flowers are better than real in many other ways. They don't wilt and they keep their beauty for years. Now... I just have to decide if roses (my favorite) or some other type of flowers will be one of my gifts for Mothers Day.
