 Also Mother's day always falls on a Sunday which reduces delivery 
 options (not to zero but fewer options are available on Sunday) and 
 raises the attractiveness of sending flowers to arrive on the Friday or 
 Saturday prior.

If someone personally cuts some flowers from a garden (with permission) and
puts them in a vase one already has, in the general American culture, who
would likely think that this is a thoughtful gift because of the personal
effort, and who would likely think the giver was being cheap?

a) mother
b) wife
c) exclusive girlfriend
d) non-exclusive girlfriend

My mom would think it was a thoughtful gift and my wife (she is my exclusive
girlfriend) would call me cheap.
