Let’s celebrate mothers for Mother’s Day with flowers

Mother's Day is coming up soon on Sunday, May 9, 2010. I am especially thinking of my mother today, April 20th, as she had surgery on her left shoulder this very morning – bless her heart. It was Rotator Cuff Surgery. A few years ago, she had to have Rotator Cuff Surgery on her right shoulder. Thank goodness that the surgery went well. She will be in the hospital for three days. The doctor indicated it will take a full year to get full use out of her left shoulder again. I am praying that she will not have much pain in the meantime. So even though we only officially celebrate Mother’s Day once a year, every day that we will still have our mothers in our lives could very well be a good reason to send flowers or send a card or call our mothers to let them know they are loved and appreciated. I am especially grateful to have my mother in my life. What a blessing she has been to me.

I found this great YouTube video called Spot-A-Mom 2010. It’s very cute! It is all about spotting and celebrating all the Mom’s in our lives. The video is sponsored by 1800 Flowers. Here’s the link if you care to watch the commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VynGmTbNI-o.

I went to 1800 Flowers to look for some great flowers to send my mother while she is in the hospital. That’s where I found the video. I also saw they have the coolest display set up for Mother’s Day. They feature suggested flowers you can send to the Red Carpet mom, the Green Thumb Mom, the Grandmom, The Classic Mom, and the Foodie Mom. I especially like the flowers they show for the Green Thumb Mom. My mother used to love to plant flowers. I guess since she has had surgery, she will not be up to planting flowers this year. You can see the picture of the flowers I think she will like best this year.

So I will probably be celebrating Mothers Day at least twice this year, currently while she is in the hospital and on the official day itself. What do you plan to do to celebrate your mother this year?

You could send Easter and holiday flowers for a great discount

As you probably know, Easter is coming up on April 4, 2010. There is also April Fool’s Day on April 1st. Palm Sunday is celebrated on March 28th. Additionally, Passover begins at sundown on March 29th. Perhaps you might choose to send flowers for one of those occasions. Or perhaps you might wish to send flowers just because there is a loved one who is hurting, celebrating something, or in need of a tangible sign of how much you love them. If that is the case, perhaps you might want to send flowers from 1800flowers. That is a company who has a huge selection of flowers for every occasion.

Interestingly enough, the company of 1800 flowers.com was started by a man by the name of Jim McCann. He is the CEO as well as the founder of this company. His first New York store opened in 1976. Ten years later, he acquired the rights to the phone number. Currently, of course, they now have the website that can be accessed any time of the day or not.

So back to the savings idea: I notice that the company has 1800 flowers Promotion codes you can enter. Several of these codes will give you 15% off your bill. Some of them also include free shipping. Additionally, you can get same day delivery on several of their bouquets in case you accidentally leave your flower ordering to the last minute. The company also has several Coupons for 1800Flowers that you can get. Check out that link as they have a variety of expiration dates. Some of them come up soon. Some are extended. By the way, before I forget, you can even become a fan of 1800 Flowers on Facebook. That way, you would be able to stay current on their latest bouquets and some of their great coupon offers.

In any case, whether you order flowers for a specific holiday or another occasion that has significance for you and a loved one, I hope you all have a lovely holiday and a very happy spring.
