Kitty’s Flowers sees uptick in sales for Mother’s Day

SALISBURY, Md. – One of the most popular gifts you can get your mom for Mother’s Day is flowers.

Just ask the folks at Kitty’s Flowers in Salisbury who are seeing an uptick in business.

“Mother’s Day is kind of like a marathon, where as Valentine’s Day is more of a sprint, so it’s kind of more spread out with Mother’s Day than Valentine’s Day, Valentine’s Day is like two days of chaos, Mother’s Day is a whole week,” said Brittany Morgan, Sales Associate with Kitty’s Flowers.

The folks at Kitty’s are not only dealing with Mother’s Day orders, but also orders for nurse’s week, teacher’s week and prom.

“People do like to order early which we really appreciate, we’ll take the late stragglers as well, but yeah it’s absolutely very busy,” said Eileen Waddell, Manager of Kitty’s Flowers. “We have trucks on the road and going out for delivery everyday.”

Workers with Kitty’s Flowers say they receive more than one thousand orders through Mother’s Day during the weeks leading up.

They also hire extra staff to keep up with the surge of orders.

In addition to flowers, Kitty’s has an assortment of gifts you can get for mom or that special someone.

“So in addition to the flowers, you can order a box of chocolates or a candle, a plush animal like a teddy bear and we have Mother’s Day balloons that say ‘I Love You Mom’ on them as well,” said Morgan.

For those looking to wait last minute, Morgan has one piece of advice for you.

“My advice would be get your order in as soon as possible, some of the specials we have are really pretty, but also really limited and if there is one that you really like, I would definitely say order that ASAP so it doesn’t sell out on you,” she said.

Kitty’s Flowers will be taking orders through Saturday.
