Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and everyone is trying to ensure their mother gets the perfect gift. But for many, shopping at KFC is not the primary place to purchase a spring-inspired Mother’s Day gift. However, thanks to a new promotion, you can buy a KFC bouquet for your carnivorous maternal figure on her special day. The half-chicken, half-flowers arrangement will be available soon, from May 1st to May 3rd. Take a look below.

KFC has had a history of extravagant, out-of-the-box Mother’s Day offerings over the past several years. The restaurant chain has already had a KFC romance novel, chicken-flavored chocolates, and Chippendale KFC dancers as a limited-edition gift for the American holiday. Now, the chicken chain is rolling out its newest gift idea: the KFC bouquet. The bouquet will only be available online, so make sure to download the KFC app.

The KFC bouquet will be attainable only by purchasing the KFC Lovers Meal through the app. Once the meal has been purchased, you’ll get a promo code sent directly to your email. You can redeem this code to get the stunning KFC bouquet, consisting of 12 roses and eight skewers of fried chicken tenders. It’ll come already arranged in a glass vase, with a Mother’s Day card so you can add your special holiday message. With this display, KFC ensures that your mother doesn’t go hungry on her important day.

Chief marketing officer Nick Chavez weighed in on this hilarious decision to make a KFC bouquet. He explained that a typical bouquet is great, but a bouquet filled with fried chicken takes “Mother’s Day from a 10 to an 11.” There’s no bigger surprise than unwrapping a vase filled with roses to see pieces of friend chicken extending from the arrangement. With KFC already having a history of inventive ideas for this holiday, the restaurant chain sure one-upped themselves by twisting a classic Mother’s Day present.

The Lover’s Meal that must be purchased before receiving the KFC bouquet is also a limited-edition treat for any fried chicken lover. The meal comes with three sides and four of KFC’s quintessential buttery biscuits, ensuring you and your family have plenty to eat on Mother’s Day. Since the promotion lasts three days, make sure to download the app before KFC runs out of this limited offer.

Why does KFC go all out on Mother’s Day? Though there are many American holidays for a restaurant chain to market a limited-time offer, Mother’s Day happens to be KFC’s busiest day. On average, the restaurant sells over 400,000 buckets of chicken. It’s also an incredibly lucrative day for online sales and delivery. Since the company has continued to unveil wild promotions year after year, customers have come to expect exciting Mother’s day offers. With the anticipation of this busy day, the KFC bouquet will surely not disappoint loyal customers who’ve been holding out for this holiday surprise.

Have no fear if you haven’t done your Mother’s Day shopping yet, KFC’s newest holiday treat will be available to purchase next week. This KFC bouquet is an exceptional gift for any mother who loves flowers and a salty, crunchy piece of fried chicken.
