If ever there were a formula for the perfect gift, experiential, tangible, and personal would be the sugar, spice, and all-things-nice recipe for success. Luckily, we’ve found one gift that ticks all three boxes for Mother’s Day: a Zen den created with mom’s inner peace in mind. Once you’ve selected your space, consider lighting and seating. A simple chain of fairy lights or a few candles are all you need to set the vibe. If space allows, a yoga mat, hammock, or meditation cushion make for mom’s perfect perch to stretch, meditate, or simply sit on. Finally, consider adding at least one green, leafy plant. It will go a long way for establishing and/or defining the space, providing a nice “suggested barrier” between mom’s new Zen den and the rest of the house. Pro tip: 1-800 Flowers makes it super easy to order and have plants delivered right to mom’s door. We love fiddle-leaf figs for the mom who loves to ‘gram, and snake plants for the busy mom who likes her greenery fuss-free. Providing mom with a simple, super-comfy clothing option—like a fluffy robe or a pair of loose sweatpants—will help mom’s mental shift from hustle to chill, and a neutral-toned throw blanket is the perfect Zen den accent to huddle beneath in cooler months (or when the air conditioner is blasting). And, since we’re celebrating Mother’s Day, complete the picture with a gift that says, “I love you.” A heartfelt card, a bunch of flowers, and mom’s favorite chocolate or snack will go a long way. It’s the foolproof trifecta that puts a smile on mom’s face, 100% of the time. Tick the card and flower boxes off in one fell swoop by ordering the 1-800 Flowers Conversation Roses for Mom, a stunning bunch of roses with special Mother’s Day messages adorned on the petals.
