Mother’s Day is on Sunday, May 11th

Have you thought of what to give Mom for Mother’s Day? In today’s state of the economy most of our money seem to go to the purchase of gas for our cars. And because the price of fuel has gone up, the price of most everything is creeping up too. So, what can you buy Mom that is easy on the pocket and easy to get and later on would not add to the stuff that is in her closet?

Flowers are always a welcome gift. And with the emergence of the internet, it is so easy to just get online and order flowers. But did you know that there are a lot of websites that claim to deliver in Sacramento, give you discounts and promise free delivery? If you look closer and try to find where these sites are physically located, they have no physical address in Sacramento. They could not deliver the flowers themselves. So what they do is send the order to a local florist, and they take 20% off the list price. The local florist takes the discounted price subtracts the delivery charge and the left over value goes to the flowers, or plants. If you happen to order from one website that charges for same day delivery, that is an added cost that this outfit pockets and does not give to the local florist. If you however, go directly to the local Sacramento florist, they usually work within your budget and give you exactly what you ask and pay for. For Mother’s Day, order your flowers or plants, plush or gift baskets from your friendly neighborhood florist. You will not only make your Mom happy, you’ll also be helping the state of the economy in your own community. You willl also save a lot more than what the middlemen promise in their advertisements. Search for florists online that show their physical address, some local florists accept coupons offered by Teleflora and FTD. It’s that wasy and convenient. Don’t forget to express your love, affection and gratitude to Mom for everything she does for you. Mother’s Day is on May 11th!
