Mother’s Day is nipping at our heels, ladies and gentlemen. Have you figured out how to honor Mom this year? A gas station card may have filled the need last year, but here is the chance to rebuild your relations with Mom. Take my advice: you can do better without spending a fortune or courting a headache. Here are some quick tips for finding perfect Mother’s day gifts she won’t forget when your birthday comes around!
Rather than the standard pattern of a card and some flowers, take a moment and consider what gift of experience you can give Mom that she will love. Think about ways you can help her loosen up, for example. It might be a free day at her favorite spa, or it could be paying her admittance into a three day flower-arranging workshop. You probably know your mom’s interests better than anyone. Or surprise her by doing some of her usual errands for her (as long as you do it right!). Work with your Dad and tackle a project together… this is a great excuse for no-pressure family time too.
If you are thinking about spending a little more this Mother’s Day, choose some personalized mommy jewelry that matches her collection already. This is much better than choosing pieces willy-nilly. For example, a Mothers pendant piece that works with her favorite kind of jewels already in her possession will delight her. Not only is she more likely to wear the new Mothers pendant, but she will remember how you really took the time to think about what she likes too. Now that’s a success for everyone!
