Choosing The Right Corporate Mother's Day Gifts For Your Staff



Mother's Day is only celebrated once every year and, for the many working mothers out there, it can often feel as though they have been forgotten. As we all place our orders for fresh flower deliveries, sweet treats and various other gifts for our mothers, we should consider the mothers that work for and with us too.  Directors, business owners and those in management positions can make a huge difference in their employees' lives simply by celebrating their working mothers.

Each business has its very own structure and, while some see the need to employ only a handful of staff, others have one hundred or more employees.  Regardless of the structure of the company and the number of employees, the way in which you celebrate your staff for Mother's Day will depend largely on your business budget and the funds available.  The more funds you have at your disposal, the more elaborate you can make your gifts.  More money means larger flower arrangements, even more elegant hampers and other fine touches.

Another important factor to consider is the matter of equality and how this is particularly important in the work place.  Women who are not yet mothers and your male employees should in no way feel neglected at this time.  Consider presenting each of your male employees with a bouquet of flowers to give to their wives at home, for example.  This is a great way of ensuring that everyone working for you feels special and appreciated.

As for men and women who work for you but are not yet parents, you can still allow them to celebrate this very special day in a traditional way.  In many countries like the UK and USA, it is customary for children to wear a carnation on Mother's Day.  If you are on a tight budget or if you simply want to ensure that everyone is treated equally, you can order a few bouquets of carnations and hand one to each of your employees.  Your male employees can take them home to their wives and your female employees can choose to put them on display or wear them for the day.

The best part about ordering carnations for Mother's Day is the fact that they are really inexpensive compared to other types of fresh flowers.  They are also one of the longest lasting of all cut flowers so the lucky recipients will have plenty of time to enjoy them.  In addition, they contain very low levels of pollen which makes them a top choice for those with pollen allergies.  If you want to make the single carnation really stand out, you can add some dark green foliage and a touch of baby's breath to finish it off nicely.  Also, if you order a fair amount, your local or online florist might even give you an even better rate.  Along with the single-stem arrangement, you can include chocolates, biscuits or some kind of delicious treat.
