Flowers might be the classic choice, but will they make up for all the sleepless nights you put her through over the years? All of the extracurricular carpools she commanded, the “art” she proudly displayed, the sniffles she cured? Show her how grateful you are, how much you love her, and how well you know her with a different kind of bouquet this year… one that’s boozy and botanical.
Mix up a rose or hibiscus infusion and impress your mom with a round of creative libations that she’ll proudly tell her friends about. Start by looking for edible flowers at your favorite health food store or ask your local florist (loose leaf floral tea will work in a pinch).
