First, we are going to start with the most populous one - Sydney.

Sydney, "is best known for its harbourfront Opera House, with a distinctive sail-like design. Massive Darling Harbour and Circular Quay are hubs of waterside life, with the towering, arched Harbour Bridge and esteemed Royal Botanic Gardens nearby.

Yet at its centre is the strikingly modern Federation Square development, with plazas, bars, restaurants and cultural events along the Yarra River. In Southbank, the Melbourne Arts Precinct is site of Arts Centre Melbourne – a performing arts complex – and National Gallery of Victoria, displaying Australian and Indigenous art."2 One stunning recommendation that we can provide if you need to send a friend or a loved one a flower arrangement to Melbourne is the White Phalaenopsis Orchid Plant.

Pink Rose Bouquet

For our third city, we travel across the country to the West coast to the city of Perth, considered the "capital of Western Australia, [it] sits where the Swan River meets the southwest coast. Its suburbs lie along sandy beaches, and the huge, riverside Kings Park and Botanic Garden on Mt. Eliza offer sweeping views of the city."3 If you are looking to send a classic yet beautiful gift to a friend or loved one in Perth, how about sending them a dozen roses, like this beautiful Pink Rose Bouquet with One Dozen Roses from ProGiftNet.com.

Thinking of our Mothers at ProGiftNet.com

We know we have been a little bit slow on our posts lately, but we promise we are back. As we discussed in the past, the weeks leading up to, and following, Valentine's Day, are always very busy here at ProGiftNet.com, and with the quick jump into Easter, we have had a hard time keeping in touch with all of our readers. Now that we have a little bit of a break we wanted to take some time to focus on some of the most important people we are lucky enough to know - mothers. Whether it's mom, mama, or mere, it all means the same thing, and the simple word reminds us of how lucky we are, and how much energy they have put into raising us into the adults we are today. This Mother's Day, let your mother know how much you care about them by sending them a special gift from ProGiftNet.com.

Although May 8th, 2016 (the second Sunday in May), is not the day that celebrates mother's in every country in the world, the date is very popular in many countries, not only the United States. The first country in our journey is Brazil. Here at ProGiftNet.com, we can send flowers all around Brazil, the largest country in South America. Brazil "stretches from the Amazon Basin in the north to vineyards and massive Iguaçu Falls in the south. Rio de Janeiro, is famed for its busy Copacabana and Ipanema beaches as well as its enormous, raucous Carnival festival."1 Sending flowers to Brazil has never been easier, and we work with only the best local florists to deliver the highest quality of flowers.

The final location we will be discussing as we review places who celebrate Mother's Day on May 8, 2016, is Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a "vibrant and densely populated [city], it’s a major port and global financial center famed for its tower-studded skyline. It’s also known for its lively food scene – from Cantonese dim sum to extravagant high tea – and its shopping, with options spanning chaotic Temple Street Night Market to the city’s innumerable bespoke tailors"2. If you need to send flowers to Hong Kong this Mother's Day, how about sending the ProGiftNet.com® Sweetness Bouquet with Chocolates. The ProGiftNet.com® Sweetness Bouquet comes together to create a beautiful gift.
