Famous for their cards and gifts-by-post offering, Moonpig offers a wide variety of bouquets, letterbox flowers, and plants. They use only the freshest flowers and they guarantee that your blooms will last for at least seven days once they arrive with the recipient - or you can claim your money back.

For Mother's Day, we love Moonpig's Mama's Blooms, a bright and bold floral arrangement with orange germini, orange spray rose, yellow limonium, yellow santini pom pom, blue iris and more. It's 19 stems in total and screams springtime - perfect for brightening mum's day.

We ranked Moonpig top of this list because the flowers they sent us lasted over two weeks, making them a great gift that's not only worth the spend but can be enjoyed by mum for even longer. Just remember to change the water every couple of days and give them some food!

Serenata sent us their Velvet Cloud bouquet and, at £34.99, it's reasonably priced for the size of the bunch. Like a hug in a vase, this 12-stem bouquet is made up of pink roses, pink stocks, pink chrysanthemums, cerise alstroemerias and greenbell too - if mum loves pink flowers, this one's a great choice.

Our pick: 50 Luxury Red Roses (£74.99)

Specialists in boutique designs with a modern British flair, Appleyard is a luxury option that will really make your mum feel special, and they offer next-day delivery in London to boot. They promise their flowers will stay fresh for a minimum of seven days and offer a 100% happiness guarantee, and seek to minimise their carbon footprint by sourcing garden-grown flowers from British suppliers - sounds like a winner to us.

Appleyard sent us a bouquet of 50 luxury red roses to review, and if you’re looking for something that really says 'I love you' to the mum you're celebrating, you really can’t go wrong with this bunch. They arrive semi-bloomed so you can enjoy them in all their glory after a couple of days in water, but, to be honest, we were super impressed by these from day one. It’s a huge bouquet, and lasted for several days on our desk.

Our pick: Pink Dreams (from £42.90)

My Flowers is a great option for those deliberating over the best flower delivery services: the offer free UK delivery (along with a 3-hour delivery option) and 100% fresh flowers, or they'll replace the bouquet.

My Flowers sent us their Pink Dreams bouquet to enjoy, a combination of avalanche roses, spray roses and wax flowers, all in various shades of - you guessed it - pink. At a very reasonable price point, we were surprised by how tasteful this bouquet looked and how long it lasted. The white ribbon and pink paper were a lovely touch, though we will admit that the wax flowers kept the hoover working hard once they'd bloomed!
