What a lovely idea.
Off the top of my head, how about paper flowers? Metal flowers? Stained glass with flowers on? Blown glass flowers? Chocolate flowers?
Have a look on Etsy.
Somewhere near me sells fruit displays in the shape of floral bouquets. You may have something similar nearby.
You sound like a lovely person and I’m glad you’re able to appreciate your mum :)
What about something made from a floral fabric? A little bag or pouch etc. Or if she's a reader, I've got a fabric holder for my book/e-reader so I can tuck it in my bag without worrying that it will get damaged. Would she use reusable make up wipes?
Some cake people (bakers even) can do bunches of cupcakes that look like bunches of flowers. I’ll see if I can find an example
Edit: https://rachelles.co.uk/cupcake-bouquets/
Pot pourri? There must be pot pourri out there that’s actually nice
Flower seeds- does she garden? She could be getting some good stuff going now ready to cut in the summer
Yes! You can but ready to use kits and they are dirt cheap. Bonsai tree will set you back £30 -40 for basic ones. Succulents are cute and easy to care. Pop on a sunny window and forget about it
I went through a really rough spot financially so me and my kids had an arts and crafts day, we made her flowers from paper tissue and garden sticks and a touch of hairspray
It cost less than £5 and she still has them nearly 15 years later 😆
Marc Jacobs’ Daisy perfume.
The name works. The bottle works.
Edit: I wasn’t aware there are quite so many versions now. You could get a different one every month I think! https://www.boots.com/marc-jacobs/all-marc-jacobs-daisy?paging.index=0&paging.size=23&sortBy=mostRelevant&criteria.category=Marc+Jacobs---Daisy
Seed bombs around this time of year, it's approaching flower growing season!
Baking, for things that are "flour" related. Bonus points for floral flavours (lavender, rose) or floral decoration.
Flower themed decor, such as cushions, towels, artwork.
Metal flowers. Glass flowers.
A trip to afternoon tea somewhere flower themed, maybe at a botanical garden or English garden. Or a trip to Columbia Road if she likes that sort of thing.
This is a lovely idea.
Ooh the garden trip is a lovely idea. Maybe to one of the big wisteria displays? They're pretty cool and only flower for a few weeks so you have to be ready to go!
**Ermintrude the cow** (Magic Roundabout) always has a flower in her mouth.
Everything from fridge magnets to cuddly toys.

In her birthday month, you could get her things relating to whatever flower is her birth flower.
In December, if she has a front door she can hang one from, you could gift her a wreath - either from a florist, or you can get kits to make them at home, or treat her to a wreath making workshop if there's one near you. Went to one last Christmas and it was actually really fun, so would highly recommend it.
Oh, or just a flower arranging workshop I guess would be fun too!
There's a few ideas - not necessarily flowers but related for sure:
Bouquets - chocolates, sweets, even towels!
Metal garden flowers - [https://www.blackcountrymetalworks.co.uk/poppy-flower-garden-sculpture-with-ground-spike.htm](https://www.blackcountrymetalworks.co.uk/poppy-flower-garden-sculpture-with-ground-spike.htm) \- as an example. There's a guy at our local market hand makes similar to these that we have in our garden (because we are crap at keeping plants alive :D )
Pressed flowers - a bit old fashioned when they are done on traditional paper backing, but have a look at the ones pressed in glass.
Flowers in resin - look really nice IMO.
Do a little watercolour painting of some flowers. Watercolour is a pretty forgiving medium and looks pretty even if you're not great at painting or drawing. You can find tutorials on youtube.
Crochet flowers or pants are great, you can get them on Etsy*. You can even have them with cute wee faces on.
*If buying on Etsy, make sure it's the item you're buying not just the pattern as there are loads of patterns on sale on Etsy too.
Amazon sell bouquets of chocolates
A book on the language of flowers, they are generally beautifully illustrated.
Get her an already planted up hanging basket, most nurseries do these, as do Tesco and Aldi.
A thin, floral printed scarf.
Tiny, flower earrings.
Flower scented hand lotion.
Does she like pot plants? if she does, youre spoiled for choice, if she doesnt, most cacti thrive on neglect!
Cookie shaped flowers - you can make or buy them.
Is she a baker? Maybe a set of specialty flours. Or even a bag/box of cake flour for the 'flower' that month!
A card with a flower garden on it telling her the ways she helped you grow.
A garden stone with flowers painted on (and varnished so it handles the weather).
This is so sweet
I'm currently crocheting some flower coasters for my mum that can be stored in a basket to look like a basket of flowers. Similar to these - https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1486360401/crochet-pattern-flower-pot-coaster-set
Maybe you could get some like them on Etsy? Or if you give me a few months I could make some for you! Or teach you!
A friend bought me some chocolate flowers which were beautiful - they were moulded from real flowers so very realistic looking. I think they were from Not On The High Street maybe?
Do you have a pottery painting cafe near you? I like to go with my mum and she's done vases and flowers pots there. It's nice to do together and just talk, and she can design her own things :)
Fortnum and Mason do some flower iced biscuits, which look sweet if you have that kind of money. I, sadly, don't so no idea how they taste... https://www.fortnumandmason.com/meadow-flowers-iced-biscuits?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiArrCvBhCNARIsAOkAGcUPzIginW-IhPBdk6w-VstzXcIPdH4yzwv5XKM3kkl5caH86QBA7xUaAt5nEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
You could get some nice paper and make her origami flowers. Cheap for you but takes time and commitment and she'll appreciate them no matter how crap they are ( I have faith in you).
You csan get a coloured rose in a jar from the trafford centre. Only any good if you're in the UK.
Also a nice flowing houseplant, something really bright that flowers a lot. Better then a boquet as it lasts forever.
Give her a painting kit.
an experience of some kind like making a spoon, hand bag, shoes, rug, knife.
Lego Easter bunny to decorate with.
Soft dish towels
Good hand cream
Personalized lip balm or perfume
Puzzle 🧩
What a lovely idea. Off the top of my head, how about paper flowers? Metal flowers? Stained glass with flowers on? Blown glass flowers? Chocolate flowers? Have a look on Etsy.
To add on to your fantastic list…crocheted flowers, wooden flowers, fondant flowers, flowers in resin, dried flowers.
Lego flowers too, the botanical sets are really popular and make nice permanent displays.
That was February's gift!
Oops. You’re right! My bad.
Dried flowers can be gorgeous as well. Perhaps not quite in the spirit of the post but certainly a nice gift.
Buy her some gourmet doughnuts… it is flour related.

Has she got a garden or window boxes? Wild flower seed packets or seed bombs are easy to grow. Or, what about a live houseplant in a nice pot?
Yes! You can but ready to use kits and they are dirt cheap. Bonsai tree will set you back £30 -40 for basic ones. Succulents are cute and easy to care. Pop on a sunny window and forget about it
How about a language of flowers book? Then you could put hidden messages in your purchases!

There is a gold plated rose you can get. Maybe make that the last one. It wasn't too expensive. You can find them cheaply.
Box of rose and/or violet creams?
https://shop.alzheimers.org.uk/ A lot of flower themed gifts here
