Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
For those who are shopping late for Mother’s Day this year (myself included) it can be easy to get caught up in the commercial hype and lose sight of what most Mom’s really want. A thoughtful and useful gift. Something that let’s them know that you care, and an extra bonus if it’s something to pamper herself with. Here are some quick ideas for some easy gift ideas.
1. Put together a skin care or hand & nail care basket. For a skin care basket, include a nice facial cleanser, facial moisturizer, eye mask, and a facial mask. For a hand & nail care basket, a hand cream, cuticle oil, cotton gloves, 4 sided nail buffer, and a bottle or two of nail polish.
2. Take her out for something luxurious. Like dinner and drinks at a fancy restaurant or a manicure at one of the nicest spa’s in your area.
3. Find out a hobby that she’s always wanted to take up, or something that she’s always been interested in. Check out your local community centers and community college’s for classes offered in that subject. Take the class together.
4. Make a donation in her name to her favorite charity.
5. When all else fails, send her flowers. 1-800-Flowers has a great selection of items for mothers day gift delivery. Do a search using her favorite flower to find beautiful flowers to have delivered to her door or office. I’d love to send something classic like the Pink Rose and Calla Lily Bouquet. Or, choose from their gift baskets. The Treleela Organic Tea Experience, Harney & Sons Tea & Spa Gift, and Perfectly Pomegranate Spa Set are all great options.

We usually go out every year to a buffet as a family. Being a former military family, it was hard to have get-togethers, but we always tried to do Mother’s Day that way. Of course, cards and flowers are a must. Hmm, the spa thing might be a cool thing, but I will have to try talking with my sibs and step-sib to see if they want to chip in. Spas around here are not cheap. *sighs*
I found another handy site and I think I will go ahead and add yours to my next blog as a good resource site for fashion, health, and beauty.

I really want to do the donation to a charity thing… But my credit card is maxed out at the moment and i’m pretty much done my job. Ugh

I love these ideas! I’m thinking to put together a basket with yankee candles and beauty things

This year we are taking my mom to get a pedicure so her feet are pretty for our cruise. I’m sure we’ll cook for her too - she loves the most thoughtful gifts.
