Dear Fonseca
The girls and I got into an argument at work yesterday over whether or not flowers are a good Mother's Day gift. Half of the women love the idea of getting flowers for Mother Day. The other half did not and said the gift is a cop out and has no thought behind it. They said any mother, who receives flowers should be upset with their kid for not putting any effort into finding an 'experience' gift or something they really want. Where do you stand on this? Are flowers a good Mother's Day gift or a cop out?
