Best Gifts for Mothers

My list of 10 Best Gifts for Mothers




Mother’s day should be all about celebrating womanhood. I would rather have the time and day for things that I love than what commercials on T.V assume I will enjoy. Here is a list of my favorite gifts.



1. Books: Nothing says “relax “better than a good book or good music. And guess what a mother needs most for mother’s day “Relaxation and Appreciation”. So set her a good read or music album with a bottle of good wine or flowers and see a smile straight from heart.

2. Spa coupon: – or better still make an appointment and make sure she gets there.

3. Flowers: Her favorite flowers and if you are not sure pick out flowers that will last longer. Mother’s day is supposed to be all about her. Doesn’t have to be just roses, anything that she loves.

4. Potted plants: Orchids are perfect; they are beautiful and last long. Potted herbs would also be appreciated by a green thumb.

5. Lunch /Dinner: Meal at home would be more appreciated, rather than going out when it’s so busy. Cook if you have time or order in, but make sure she doesn’t have to do any cleaning afterwards. Also personal touches like candles and decorating the table makes a mother feel appreciated.

6. Sharing your time: Do an activity she enjoys together – maybe bowling, golfing, a concert or if she is like me a picnic at the lake. Nothing is more precious than time and giving her your full undivided attention will definitely make her smile.

7. Write a letter: Or if you can make a scrapbook of old pictures chronicling the important events you both shared together or enlarge and frame a precious memory of your both together.

8. Book a maid for the day – nothing cheers a mother up than entering into a sparkling clean house smelling of fresh flowers.

9. Give her the gift certificate of her favorite clothing store and then take her shopping out there.

10. Box of chocolates, perfumes, jewelry, purse, scarves, watches, cosmetics, candles, spa products, sun glares, gift sets are other choices.



Whatever you do, make sure you are present with her in mind and body and let her know how much she is appreciated !

Making sense of it all

The last couple of months have been surreal for most of us - and nightmare to many others. People have lost loved ones, lost their liveliho...
