| FLORISTS across the Fraser Coast are preparing for a busy weekend, with thousands of families across the region ordering flowers for Mother's Day. "Hampers are a great idea for women who don't really love flowers, but still want something bright and colourful on the day," she said. "Flowers are a great choice for people who aren't sure what to buy, because we can mix and match the flowers and add chocolates or balloons to make it a one of a kind bouquet. "The best part about the hampers is that THEY CAN} be tailored to suit any type of mum. "Mother's Day is one of our busiest times of the year, because everyone wants to buy their mum something bright and beautiful," Ms Davis said. Coffee machines were also a popular choice for Mother's Day gifts according to Hervey Bay Harvey Norman small appliances manager Sean Cattell, who said machines had been flying off the shelves in recent weeks. "A lot of people are looking for practical gifts as well as the bright bunches of flowers," Mr Cattell said. Ms Davis said while flowers were a popular gift choice for Mother's Day, other items such as soft toys, balloons and hampers were increasing in popularity. "It doesn't have to cost a fortune either; you can select up an amazing bouquet for about $30. "At the moment coffee machines and food processors have been extremely popular gift choices, as well as other kitchen wear items. |
