This Mother’s Day, treat the special lady in your life to a gift of warmth and luxury from Hafner Florist. This season, the shop is blooming with one-of-a-kind pieces – a visit there is a true delight for the senses. “We have something unique in store for every mom. Although we are known first and foremost as a flower shop, we have expanded our offerings and have become so much more,” said Josh Miller, one of the owners of Hafner Florist, along with Kyle Vierling. “If you haven’t been to Hafner in a while, stop by and see how we’ve grown.”
A stroll around the store is a feast for the eyes. In addition to a colorful array of cut flowers, floral arrangements, house plants, and realistic faux florals and stems, the store carries gift-giving options not typically found at other local retailers. “Over the past few years of ownership, we are proud of the carefully curated collection of items we offer. We’re bringing in new products from the current lines we carry, and we’ve added fresh new lines,” said Miller.

Mom will feel pampered with sensual bath and body products from Archipelago® Botanicals and hand washes from Botanico De Havana. For the mom who loves to cook, Finch and Fennel’s gourmet cooking oils, spice blends, jams and sauces will tickle her tastebuds. If textiles are her passion, Chilewich placemats, rugs and runners will make her day. “We’ve recently added more scents to our Illume® and Voluspa® candle lines and have expanded two more collections, Kitras handblown glass art and ceramics by local artist Lia Colapietro,” Miller offered. “Why not pair a floral arrangement for mom with a gift basket created from items in our collections? We are bringing in more and more items from local artists to include as well.”
Gift cards are ideal for the mom who loves to shop. She can use it in Hafner’s walk-in Flower Bar where she can choose stems to create her own arrangement or use it to pick out new home décor items. Miller explained, “Our design team also provides home consultations. We can freshen an area of mom’s home with new accents pieces such as lamps, mirrors, rugs, vases and artwork.”

“If you are looking for something unique with top-notch customer service and experience, Hafner is the place,” Miller said. “Stop in and experience the difference for yourself.”
Hafner Florist is located at 5139 Main St. in Sylvania’s Southbriar Plaza. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday 9 am to 6 pm and Saturday 9 am to 4 pm.
