Urban Stems has several stunning under-$45 floral arrangements. FTD has an entire page of Mother’s Day gifts under $50, including floral arrangements, succulents, and sweet treats.

Here are some tips for buying flowers online:
Shop in-season
When shopping for floras, you probably keep an eye out for your favorites or the ones that look the prettiest to you. But if you want flowers that are going to last, opt for seasonal blooms. These types of flowers are more likely to arrive to you or your giftee fresh and will have a longer lifespan. If you’re looking for popular flowers that thrive in the springtime go for tulips, magnolias, peonies, and hyacinths. For summer: petunias, orchids, and lilies. For fall: chrysanthemum, marigold, pansies, and black-eyed Susans. And for winter: daffodils, camellias, and winter jasmine.
If possible, go for flowers that are budding
Okay, yes, the overall look won’t be as full as a bloomed bouquet, but it’ll hold out for a longer time than ones that have already bloomed. When you receive fully grown flowers, they usually start wilting after just a few days of you having them. So imagine when you or whoever you’re gifting has florals that are still in the budding stage...Those could last weeks! This is definitely something to consider when you’re shopping online for flowers!
Check the delivery terms
Every brand has different delivery policies. It’s best if you read up on them before you commit! Because the last thing you want is your flowers to arrive at the wrong time or location. Check to see if you can book a specific time and place for a delivery or if it only works within a certain range. Not all online flower delivery services deliver to absolutely anywhere, so definitely look into this! And don’t forget about delivery fees. If you’re not trying to spend a lot of extra money on delivery/shipment rates, this might narrow down your options. We recommend checking out those charges beforehand.
Take advantage of customization if it’s an option
Personalizing any gift makes it even more special and thoughtful. So if you can customize your flowers, go for it! Whether that’s choosing the specific flowers for the bunch or adding a card to it, you should incorporate that personal touch. It’ll only make your giftee even happier! Some florists may charge an extra fee for upgrades and customizations, btw!
Consider your flower bouquet priorities
You might have to drop some extra $$$ to get the flowers to your mama on time, but if you’re really cutting it close (don’t worry—we’ve got you), choose a service that specializes in same-day delivery. You should also think about price, customization options, and flower selection before making a decision.
Also worth noting: If the mom in your life has a green thumb or an affinity for fresh flowers, she probably has a vase she loves so you won’t need to find the perfect potter. If not, consider ordering from a flower delivery service that has a selection of exceptionally beautiful vases like The Bouqs.
Decide between a subscription or a one-time delivery
If you’re an overachiever or you want to secure your spot as the favorite child (heh), gifting a flower delivery subscription service like one from Bloomsy Box is the way to go. Or if all you really care about is bringing a smile to your mom’s face on Mother’s Day, then a one-time delivery from any of the services on this list (plus a sweet card!) will definitely do the trick.
