Flowers are always the number gift for moms on Mothers Day but if you are looking to stay traditional while also being unique there is an alternative this year - cookies you can eat.Cookies by Design will get you ready for May 10th will their assortment of brightly colored, tulip-shaped cookies which will be displayed in a vase (that will hopefully still be in place by the time you get to visit).

"We've taken flowers to a new level," explains Gwen Willhit who founded Cookies by Design in the press release announcing the cool product . She continues, "Each edible floral arrangement, made of freshly baked cookies, is hand-crafted by our cookie decorators. Once Mom finishes enjoying the beauty of her flowers, she can then enjoy the taste of these delicious sugar cookies."

While I will probably stick with traditional gift of flowers, I have to admit that these look rather neat. If they are as tasty as they look, it will be a sure winner if you plunk down the bouquets that start at less than $15.
