Idea #1: Personalized lollipop bouquet
Giving a bouquet is a lovely way to please your mom, but… what would she say if, this year, the flowers were replaced by an assortment of brightly colored, fruity-flavored lollipops? Presented like a bouquet, they make a whimsical surprise, a feast for the eyes… and the taste buds. The perfect gift for all moms with a sweet tooth!
List of Equipment and Ingredients

● Pierrot Gourmand ® lollipops (with fruit, fresh milk caramel, caramel & cocoa…)

● Ribbons, string, decorations (beads, stickers, pompoms…)
● A personalized label with a sweet message
● A pair of scissors and glue using a glue gun
Implementation steps
1. Attach the lollipops
Glue each lollipop onto a wooden skewer to create the stems of the bouquet. Make sure to center them so that the whole arrangement looks harmonious.
2. Create a solid foundation
Fill the bottom of the vase with crumpled paper. This will stabilize your lollipops and make them look great.

Wrap the vase with a ribbon or add a label: "Happy Mother's Day", "To be enjoyed with love".

Slip a little note, a child's drawing or a card with sweet words for Mother's Day into the center of the bouquet to make this lovely gift even more personal.
