Why Your Mum Deserves Flowers Even If She Says She Doesn’t

Mother’s Day is approaching, and you’re wondering whether to get her flowers or take her at her word when she says, "Oh, don’t worry about getting me anything!"

Warning: This is a trap.

When a mum says she doesn’t need anything, what she really means is:

• “I don’t want you to feel pressured, but I’d still like to feel appreciated.”
• “I love surprises, but I won’t ask for one.”
• “I will remember forever if you forget this.”

And that’s why, no matter what she says, you should absolutely, 100% get her flowers. Here’s why.

Mums Are the Most Underrated Superheroes

Your mum has probably spent years doing things for you that you don’t even realise. From remembering your school trip form (when you completely forgot), to magically having your favourite snacks in the cupboard, to listening to you rant about life even when she had 10,000 other things to do—mums just do things.

And they rarely ask for anything in return.

Mother’s Day is the one day a year where you can make sure she feels properly appreciated—and what better way than with a stunning bouquet of flowers that says, "I see you, I appreciate you, and yes, I did plan this in advance (even if I didn't)"?

Why Flowers Are the Ultimate ‘You’re Amazing’ Gift

Yes, there are other options. You could get her chocolates, a spa voucher, or a novelty mug that says, "World’s Best Mum". But flowers hit differently.

Here’s why:

• They’re timeless. Mums have been receiving flowers for centuries, and they still work.
• They make any space feel special. A fresh bouquet on the table instantly brightens a room.
• They last longer than cake. And they won’t sit in a cupboard unused like last year’s scented candle.
• They show effort. Even though you and I both know they were only a few clicks away.

What Different Flowers Say (Because Mum Will Read Into It)

If you’re going to do this properly, choose wisely. Mums have a special talent for reading meaning into gifts, and flowers are no exception.

• Pink Roses – "I love you, and I’m also quite proud of how thoughtful I am."
• Lilies – "You are elegance and wisdom personified."
• Tulips – "Bright, cheerful, and impossible not to love—just like you."
• Mixed Spring Blooms – "I couldn’t decide, but I wanted you to have everything beautiful."
• Sunflowers – "You are my sunshine, and yes, I do remember you singing that song to me as a child."

Flowers to Avoid: Red roses (too romantic) and carnations (risky unless you know she likes them).

"But My Mum Isn’t Really a Flowers Person…"

Okay, but… have you tested this theory?

Some mums say they don’t care about flowers because they’ve never been given a proper, stunning, beautifully arranged bouquet before.

Also:

• She might not buy flowers for herself, which makes them even more special as a gift.
• Even if she genuinely isn’t a flower person, she’ll still love the fact that you thought of her.
• She will immediately put them in water and start showing them off to visitors.

And if she really doesn’t like flowers, DV Flowers Studio also does elegant plant arrangements—so she gets something green and beautiful that lasts even longer.
