Instead of showering her with petals that will wither (and eventually smell), treat her ears to these delicate floral earrings that will make her gardening heart sing with joy. And to sweeten the floral pot, etsy artists, BijouxByAllison, will place the pair in a handmade gift box eliminating any packaging hassle for you. Just be glad that she’ll be wearing floral earrings and leaving the fashion statement of a tool belt at home on her next visit.
