Mother’s Day Ideas ;D

Hi Everyone,

Mother’s Day is tomorrow so there is still time to get out there and get what you need. If you are stuck, here is a link from Canadian Family and it is titled, 7 Last Minute Mother’s Day Gift Ideas. Here it is,

IF in case the above isn’t as helpful as you would like I have a few tips.

First ASK your mother what she would really LOVE for Mother’s Day. She’s probably already told you a couple of times but just in case she hasn’t, or you haven’t been paying attention, ASK her. Believe me, there is nothing worse than receiving a gift that you absolutely despise. This goes for any time of the year by the way.

The most common things mothers want are the following in varying orders,

A card. It can be store bought or handmade. The handmade one’s go over the best because they seem more thoughtful, personalized.
A full night’s sleep.
Peace, translated meaning NO fighting with anyone especially your mother.
Food meaning a late brunch, (because she has slept in) and anything else she doesn’t have to make. As a head’s up, not even single mothers want to cook for the family on Mother’s Day.
Flowers that she likes or loves. If you don’t already know what her favourite flower or flowers are you may have to ask a few questions to find out.
Gift certificates to one or more places that she can use to pamper herself. Pampering oneself is open to interpretation. Personally, I would love to get a gift certificate to a book store over anything else. Other mother’s may want to have a day at the spa or a simple manicure and pedicure, If you are going to take the time to get her a gift certificate, I would recommend finding out what kind she wants first.
Since I sold fragrances for over 15 years for a variety of companies I am also going to recommend fragrances as a gift. Most companies have gift sets for Mother’s Day. If in case they are all sold out, there is usually a free gift whether it is in a gift basket or not. BUT make sure you know what fragrance your mother LOVES before you buy her one.

Some stores are open 24 hours. I hope that helps.
