Roses are sweet and when they're made of chocolate - even sweeter. It's available at Things Remembered ($40). com. It might be a handcrafted origami wreath, a gift engraved with a personal message or a sparkly, studded flower vase to add drama to this year's bouquet. And if you've already picked out her gift (oh you diligent son or daughter, you), well … her birthday will be here in no time. Bright roses, orchids, hydrangeas, gerber daisies and carnations form a stylish, springtime bouquet, topped with a sweet sign and a sculptural neon wire at Heaven Scent Flowers in Bonita Springs. Alva artist Bekki Edwards creates origami wreaths for Mother's Day - and for a good cause. This silver-plated photo water globe features hand tooling, intricate detailing and a musical message - it plays an instrumental version of "I Just Called to Say I Love You. Part of the Expressions from the Heart collection at Things Remembered, this dainty silver charm bracelet dangles with appreciation and comes with a free filigree keepsake box. Edwards folds these 6-inch wreaths - some of them with photo holders - using scrapbook paper before adding pretty embellishments. They're available in more than 15 Mother's Day styles, plus themes for other holidays, teachers and children, with custom ordering available. She offers treats such as chocolate word "Moms" and sugary golf bags and toolboxes for when it's dad's day next month ($2 per rose). |
