Spring's an exciting time, right? Short skirts come out of the mothballs, baseball season kicks off, taxes are due...lots to think about. So I'm guessing it's always a surprise when Mother's Day rolls around again, like, didn't we just do this? You count the months, and then, yep, that was actually 12 months ago. Hmm.
Edible Arrangements is the most brilliant Mom-present in the history of Mom-presents. Framed picture of a younger you? Did it last year. High-waisted stonewashed jeans? She's got enough of those. A slanket? Psssh. Edible Arrangements are fruit--something Moms love more than any other kind of comestible--and they're in the shape of something else--Moms love clever presentation--and not only that, but they're in the shape of flowers--I've yet to meet a Mom who didn't melt for flowers.
Game, set, match, Mother's Day. How you like me now?
Also! Sometimes the fruit is dipped in chocolate. That's a bonus for you, when you start picking at her present when she's off taking a call or something. Not many things in the world better than chocolate-dipped fruit. (It's the only way I'll take fruit willingly, actually; I'm like a dog who needs his pills hidden in food.)
It's probably a buzzkill to mention that I've never actually gotten my Mom one of these, because she hasn't been around since before Edible Arrangements hit the market, but this review wouldn't have much worth without the Mom angle, since they're whole raison d'etre is basically Mother's Day, and I really wanted to review Edible Arrangements.
