Moms—and all the other mother figures in our lives—do a lot for us. They make our favorite foods, offer a literal (and figurative) shoulder to cry on, and generally just make our lives a whole lot better. With Mother’s Day on May 11, 2025, you might be wondering what kind of gift shows the mom in your life how much you care.

If your first thought was flowers, followed by a 'nah,' don’t be so quick to write off this so-called “basic” gift. There’s a good reason why flowers are the go-to present for, well, practically every feminine holiday. Wondering why? For starters, fresh blooms can spruce up any room, and you can share your appreciation for Mom (and make sure to include her favorite florals!) with a 1-800 Flowers Mother’s Day delivery.

What makes 1-800 Flowers a great Mother’s Day gift?

Finding thoughtful Mother’s Day gifts can be tough, especially if you want to find something out-of-the-box that’ll truly surprise Mom. However, flowers are tried and true for a reason, and sending her some might just be the easiest way to delight any mom with her favorite kind that she hasn’t been gifted in years.

Plus, you won’t have to give her generic red roses from the grocery store—which are probably also reaching the end of their shelf life. Gifting a 1-800 Flowers Mother’s Day delivery lets you customize Mom’s bouquet so you can treat her to a beautiful, fresh tulip or peony arrangement or ensure every bloom arrives in her favorite color combination.

You’re bound to spoil your mom, grandma, mother-in-law, or any other mother figure in your life with any of 1-800 Flowers’ gorgeous arrangements. They’ll be thrilled with bouquets like the Mother’s Embrace (which features pink and lavender blooms), LoveShackFancy Pretty In Pink Preserved Magnificent Roses, or florals that even come with sweet treats like truffles and chocolate-covered strawberries.

Flowers are great. Flowers and chocolate-covered strawberries? Even better.

For starters, you’ll need to select which charming flowers you want Mom to receive on her special day, whether that’s the LoveShackFancy Sugar Plum bouquet or the Blooms for Mom with Strawberries. Need help figuring out which one she’ll adore most? Check out 1-800 Flowers’ Mother’s Day gift guide to sort flower deliveries by price, flower type, who you’re shopping for, and more.

Once you’ve chosen your Mother’s Day flower delivery, here’s how you get those blooms to her front door:

  • Select the size of the arrangement (if the option is provided).
  • Enter Mom’s delivery zip code and residence type before hitting the “Add to Cart” button.
  • After clicking, you’ll be directed to a calendar with dates you can select for delivery.

Some dates will be marked in purple for Standard Service delivery or blue for weekend or holiday delivery. Blue dates will have an additional shipping fee starting at $2.99.

Since 1-800 Flowers partners with local florists for flower arrangements and deliveries, you’ll need to be flexible with your order. For cheaper or standard shipping, choose to have your Mother’s Day blooms delivered during the weekend of the holiday. For more exact arrival, you can have your bouquet delivered the day before or on Mother's Day, which you’ll have to pay extra shipping fees for.
