Inspiring Ideas for this Mothers Day

Johannesburg, 9 May, 2010 - "The hallmarks of our Mother's Day decor and gardening range are quality, functionality and a touch of class," says Sue Morris, executive marketer for NetFlorist. "We have captured these elements in our beautiful range that set the trend for a return to tasteful and inspiring simplicity that will suit every mom. We've also selected gifts that lend themselves to spending quality time with mom."

For the mom who loves to display family photos, these eco frames made of wattle twigs and Penny gum, decorated entirely with tiny leaves (both R329) will not only showcase her brood, but also the potential that organic materials have to beautify everyday objects.

One can't go wrong with beautiful flowers for mom. NetFlorist's Lasting Trio trug (R489) and the Jug of Joy (R459) can be displayed indoors or on sheltered patios. The roses in the trug are natural, not artificial and are preserved using a patented process that allows them to last for up to six months without the need for maintenance or watering. The Jug of Joy, made of aluminium pressed with a delicate floral pattern, holds a bountiful array of white lilies, gerberas and chrysanths.

The best gift you can give mom is spending quality time with her over a cup of tea or a picnic basket. Tea-loving moms will be delighted with NetFlorist's Oriental tea set (R329; only available for delivery in Johannesburg and Pretoria). The teapot's bamboo handle and the whimsical floral pattern make the set something that any mother would be proud to own.

Spending time outdoors with loved ones is a great stress reliever for busy moms, thus few of them will be able to resist the Mother's Day picnic basket (R499). The French-country styled, fabric-lined wicker basket is heaped with a flowering pot plant, Bouchée chocolates and Pongracz bubbly.

In keeping with the outdoor theme, the Mom's Precious Hands Gardening Kit (R439) is just the thing for green-fingered moms. It contains the Royal Horticultural Society's Gardener's Book, gardening gloves and Ecoco hand cream – a kit fit for the Queen.

Some gifts come and go, but the products in NetFlorist's range have been selected specifically for their ability to create lasting memories for moms and their children. If choosing a Mother's Day gift from this array seems daunting, remember that there are 364 other days in the years to shower mom with flowers and gifts as a way of thanking her for being the wonderful person she is.
