Mother’s Day: A day of love and celebration

Mothers Day Flowers - Court Florist Christchurch

Calling all Kiwis across the globe, a date for your calendar: 14th May 2023. It’s Mother’s Day in New Zealand. Mother’s Day is a special day to acknowledge, appreciate and celebrate our Mothers (and those who play a motherly role in our lives) and the tremendous love we have for them. Mother’s Day celebrations vary from country to country and even house to house, but typically it’s a day where the leading ladies have the opportunity to put their feet up and enjoy being spoilt.


Regardless of where you live in the world, the most important thing to do is to let your Mother know you are thinking of her. Distance may limit the ability to make Mum breakfast in bed, but with Court Florist’s deliverable collection of Mother's Day gifts, Christchurch Mothers will be able to feel the love on this special day. 


What’s the best present for Mother’s Day?

Choosing a gift to represent your love and appreciation for your Mum can feel overwhelming – one gift to say a thousand words! Ideally the present you choose will be out of the ordinary, luxurious, and heartfelt – something she will love but wouldn’t necessarily buy herself. Are you in need of some Mother’s Day inspiration?

Here are Court Florist’s top three Mother’s Day gifts:


1.   Mother’s Day flowers

A beautiful bunch of fresh fragrant flowers bring absolute joy to the home. Whether you favour the opulent Jewel Tones Bouquet, the vintage chic of the Pastels Posy or the striking display and delicious natural scent of a bouquet of lilies, your Mum will cherish the flowers for many days to come. Using only the freshest of flowers from local growers and markets, each bouquet is styled with exceptional care and attention, and delivered with love.


2.   Wine, flowers and chocolate gift basket

If you are looking for a Mother’s gift to tick lots of boxes, Court Florist’s wine, flowers and chocolates gift basket is the ideal option. Choose from a selection of red, white, or sparkling wine to create the perfect accompaniment to some glorious flowers and divine De Spa handmade chocolates. Please note, sharing is not mandatory!


3.   Surmanti pamper gift basket

If your Mum deserves a pampering (which she will), Surmanti products are simply gorgeous. Crafted in New Zealand using only natural and organic ingredients, Surmanti combine beauty, wellness, and healing in their luxe products. Court Florist are proud Surmanti stockists Christchurch and have curated this Mother’s Day pamper gift basket of pure joy for your loved one.


Whether you are buying a Mother’s Day gift for your own mother, wondering how to send a Mother’s Day present to Christchurch from overseas, or buying a Mother’s Day gift for your children to give to their Mummy, Court Florist can help you. These examples are our most popular options, but if you would like us to create a bespoke Mother’s Day flower arrangement with your choice of flowers, or perhaps curate a Mother’s Day gift basket with a different choice of treats, please do get in touch. You can call in and meet the team at Court Florist, Victoria St, Christchurch or contact us online to discuss your needs.
