What do you give the person that brought you into this world, raised and molded you into the person you are today? Is there such a thing out there that represents the measurement of your affection and appreciation? Probably not. Does your mom expect you to break your bank account to buy her an expensive item to show how much you love her? Probably not. So what can you give her to show her how much she means to you?
Retailers are doing their best to showcase their top choices for the ultimate mother’s day gift. Sure you can purchase that little something or even that big something if your budget can take it. Is a necklace or sweater really what your mom would like? You are the expert on your mom so when you’re thinking of the ultimate gift for her, keep in mind your mom’s likes.
Ask yourself these questions:
• What hobbies does she have?
• What colour looks best on her?
• Does she like to go out to the theatre or stay at home with a good book?
• Does she enjoy any sport?
• Does high tea and tasty sandwiches at a fancy hotel appeal to her?
• Would she rather just spend more time with you?
• Is she crafty and does she enjoy creating art or cooking?
• Does she prefer homemade gifts?
Remember your mom is a not just a mom. She is a woman with personality and character. She has dreams, goals, fears, likes and dislikes just like you. Try to hone in on what brings her joy and peace. Appeal to her senses and be creative.
Here are some ideas:
• Charm of child’s initials to add to her necklace or bracelet
• Nice new purse for the Spring
• Colourful scarf to go with a number of outfits
• Pair of cozy slippers and a book written by her favorite author
• A night out with you to a restaurant or show
• A day of golf with you
• Mother’s day High tea is offered by many hotels and restaurants
• A basket of her favorite things
• A clean house and a day of rest topped off with a home cooked meal
• Pampering at a local spa
• Anything homemade that she can showcase to her friends and cherish
• Framed photograph of you and your family
• Buy a star in her name (yes, you can do this!)
For the new moms out there, it’s up to the partners and husbands to make her feel the love. A charm with your child’s initial is always a nice touch. Or if she would prefer something more personal, take an impression of your child’s hand or foot on nice paper with their name and date. She will cherish this forever.
Whatever gift you decide upon, if you put a lot love into it your mom will love it. Every day we should honor our moms and tell them how much they mean to us. Time ticks by fast so use the time you have to show your love and appreciation every day. If you’re still stuck for a gift idea, a handful of flowers goes a long way too!
From all the staff at OCCA Consumer Debt Relief, Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! .
