Hallmark has done a remarkable job branding themselves with the above sentiment. It’s truly all about celebrating all of life’s special occasions! When I was in San Diego for BlogHer’11 last summer I got to design my own tee sharing my own special occasion, one of those every day moments. My shirt says, “Morning Smiles” is a special occasion. My youngest was just 4 months old when I wrote that, and just this morning I tweeted the same sentiment. Nothing beats those toothless or soother-faced morning smiles.
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, Hallmark is full of great gift ideas, but there’s also great ideas for other important people worth honoring on mother’s day. Your aunt. Your grandmother. Your neighbor who was like a second mom growing up.
Here’s a fabulous way to show them you think they’re special, with a sweet gift they can look at all year long.
Bonus, you don’t have to water it.
My mom has this thing with flowers. They’re pretty and all, she says, but then they die and that’s the end of it. She has a point.
When we went to visit for Easter, it was also her birthday so I gave her a Blooming Expressions flower (ok, the kids gave her a flower) and she loved it! It sits in the bedroom on her dresser now, and she can look at it every day and see her Blooming Expressions message from all of us.
Blooming Expressions (MSRP $19.95 in Canada) are also great for visiting grandparents in nursing homes or other places where flowers are frowned up (who ever thought there would be such a thing, frowning upon flowers!)
One of my Canadian readers is going to win a Blooming Expressions from Hallmark! Give it to someone special for Mother’s Day or save it for another one of life’s special occasions! #HallmarkPressPause
