One Dozen ‘Art Bite’ Chocolates
Oh, boyohboyohboyohboy! Have I found the most FABULOUS chocolates for you to give Mom on Mother’s Day!! These scrumptious and decadent One Dozen Art Bite Chocolates are almost too pretty to eat. But they are so delicious, Mom won’t be able to resist them. The makers of these tempting delights tasted chocolates around the world before settling on an organic chocolate from Madagascar with a 68% cocoa content.
Called Art Bite Chocolates, these solid small yummy and tasty bars were created to enhance the fine characteristics of this dark chocolate. A box of one dozen eco-friendly bars includes four flavors: Whole Pistachios, Dried Bing Cherries, Organic Cocoa Nibs and Chipotle Pepper, which has a bit of a warm kick. Beautifully hand decorated, each piece is a work of art, meant to be slowly nibbled and savored. And, as a bonus, these beautiful taste treats contain no dairy.
These are beautiful to look at, delicious to eat, and are shipped overnight to avoid melting in transit.
Mother’s Day Teacup Trio
This delightful Mother’s Day gift from Jackson & Perkins is called the Blooming Sunshine Trio, and it contains the best of spring-blooming bulbs in sunny colors for your home or office. It was so incredibly popular that it sold out for Easter and was no longer available. If you order right away, you can reserve this cheerful set for your special Mother
And it is still a great Mother’s Day gift idea to create your own coffee klatsch. It wouldn’t be too difficult to find three cheery yellow-and-white mugs (or whatever Spring color combination you want) to make a gift along this same theme. Just get three coordinating mugs and plant each with a cluster of spring-blooming bulbs. The set from Jackson & Perkins contained crocus, yellow daffodil, and snowy-white hyacinth, but you can choose whatever combination you think would look attractive in the mug grouping you choose. Bulbs will bloom in succession over 3 to 4 weeks, but simple little green plants would also be attractive and stay nice through the entire summer and fall. If you select long-lived outdoor plants, they can be repotted outside and the mugs can be used for coffee, tea, soup or even hot chocolate!
Whether you get the set from Jackson & Perkins, or you build your own custom set, this is a gift that can keep on giving.

Mom will adore these pretty pink miniature roses, nested inside Harry & David’s classic ribboned cosmetic case with a makeup mirror inside the lid. The gift set also includes three gift boxes: Chocolate Truffles, Holland Mints and Bing Cherry Chocolates. The cosmetic case measures 10″ x 5″ x 4″ deep and is something she’ll treasure long after the chocolates are gone.
Like all Harry & David’s wonderful gifts, a personalized gift card is included with the gift.
Mother’s Day Gift-Boxed Orchids
I’ve gotten old enough as a great-grandmother that I realize that mothers don’t NEED orchids on Mother’s Day. But what mother’s want is to know that they are important to you and that you care for them. PLUS, it’s really nice to go to church on Mother’s Day with a beautiful corsage that says that your children love and remember your special day.
A delightful way to give your mother that perfect orchid for Mother’s Day are these Gift Box Orchids in Corsage Box from Jackson & Perkins. You can make her feel like a queen on Mother’s Day with these two large cymbidium orchid blooms tucked inside J&P’s decorative new corsage box. The orchids are individually packed in water vials, so they’ll give her weeks of joy. And they come with their own corsage pins.This set will give her stunning, fragrant blooms to pin on her lapel or dress up her table! And Jackson & Perkins Garden Fresh Express Service ships these beauties via 2-3 Day Delivery directly from J&P’s grower, so each one arrives absolutely fresh and perfect in every way. And you pay only the standard shipping and handling charge.
Easter Teacup Trio
This delightful Easter gift from Jackson & Perkins is called the Blooming Sunshine Trio, and it contains the best of spring-blooming bulbs in sunny colors for your home or office. It was so incredibly popular that it sold out and is no longer available.

Easter Plant & Teapot Set
I personally like gifts that keep on giving. That is, they are able to be used year-round after whatever holiday has passed. This Songbird Daisy Teapot with Cups from Jackson & Perkins is just that kind of gift. Send this gift of tea for two, and she’ll find that it’s perfect for sharing a relaxing afternoon with a friend. Because it’s from Jackson & Perkins, it arrives with cheerful dark-eyed gerbera daises in an artfully handpainted teapot and teacups, inspired by love of nature and fresh spring colors.
This pattern is exclusive to Jackson & Perkins and their Garden Fresh Express® Service ships these flowering gifts via 2-3 Day Delivery directly from their grower, so each one arrives absolutely fresh and perfect in every way. And you pay only the standard shipping and handling charge. The ceramic teapot and cups are NOT dishwasher safe and the entire gift is available at a 42% discount off individual prices, just in time for Easter giving.
But if the price is still a little too steep for you, why not purchase an attractive and inexpensive teapot and cups and put a plant in yourself for gifting? Jackson & Perkins has great ideas, but even those on a tight budget can find a way to make their own similar gift.
