Seasonal Bouquet

Fresh-cut flowers perk up a dining room or kitchen for a brief time. But these planted mum fleurettes will brighten up the garden all season.

If you're noticing a trend at Trader Joe's this season, you're right. Everything is coming up flowers.

They are available only through May, according to the Trader Joe's website.

Dark Chocolate Bar With a White Chocolate Tulip

Price: $4.99

Couple the sugar cookie dough flowers with this dark chocolate bar with a white chocolate tulip, and you'll still have enough cash for a cute gift bag too. The packaging is as pretty as the bar, with space to write your own Mother's Day message.
