Perks and Rec: Those May flowers are finally here

They say that April showers bring May flowers, and on this first of May, we’re reaping the benefits of that cliché. Several of our favorite flower delivery services are having sales this week, just in time for Mother’s Day. Shop deals on spring bouquets at Teleflora, get up to 30% off blooms at UrbanStems, and use the code 2XBLOOMS for $20 off select arrangements at The Bouqs Co. 

If you love the concept of flowers but aren’t as big of a fan of the execution (see: pollen, upkeep, the inevitable wilting petals), a Lego flower bouquet might be more up your alley. Our tester loved building this bouquet and says it looks great displayed in her home. Today, it’s 20% off at Amazon. 

Happy May, reader,
