I\u2019ll never forget the year I showed up at my mom\u2019s door with a grocery store bouquet wrapped in cellophane, and she acted like I\u2019d handed her a dozen long-stemmed roses from a fancy shop. She put them in her favorite blue vase, set them right in the middle of the kitchen table, and said, \u201cThese are perfect.\u201d And you know what? They were.

Also, skip the plastic wrap. A simple brown paper wrap tied with kitchen twine feels thoughtful and easy.
