Best Mother's Day apps for iPhone and iPad

Mother's Day is less than a week away, and you might be stressing about what to do for Mom. Fret no more; we've got some great ways you can use your iPhone or iPad to honor Mom, this Sunday. Be it with flowers, cards, scrapbooks, food, or drinks, iMore's got you covered. Let's put your favorite device to work and use it to make Mom feel extra special this Mother's Day.

Cleverbug Cards App

If there's one thing your mom will be expecting this Mother's Day, it's a card. There are many different cards apps available in the App Store, but Cleverbug Cards Apps has grabbed my attention as a great option this Mother's Day. It has just been updated with a bunch of great new Mother's Day card options, and not only can you have them printed and delivered straight to your mom, but you can also choose to deliver them electronically via Facebook, Twitter, Email, or SMS for free.

Cleverbug integrates with Facebook so that you can quickly and easily add photos from Facebook to your Card. Just select your mom as the recipient, and Cleverbug will automatically add her most popular photos to the card -- you can, of course, also swap out the photos if you prefer to add specific ones.

Flower Garden / Flowerly

The other common Mother's Day gift is flowers. Flower Garden and Flowerly are two great iPhone and iPad apps that let you send virtual flowers to Mom via Facebook and email. Flower Garden is a bit more "fun" in that you actually grow the flowers that you're going to include in your bouquet.

Since not everyone is into that sort of thing, I'm also including Flowerly, an app that simply let's you choose a bouquet and card and send it on its way.

Both apps are great options for sending Mom a virtual bouquet on Mother's Day.
