Buying A Personalized Gift For Mom
A personalized gift is the best gift you can get anyone but personalizing a gift is serious business and adding someones name in glitter on a potted plant will not add a personalized effect. Mothers day gifts are best if they have a personal touch, heres how to make sure mom gets a nice personal gift without venturing into the world of ribbons and glitter.
Her Favorite something
Just go to moms dresser, check the name and label of the perfume and youre all set, right? Wrong, its likely that moms favorite perfume costs a lot, she probably keeps it safe somewhere and only uses it on special occasions. That pretty much just means you bought her the wrong gift. If youre going to get something thats your moms favorite, make you sure you know exactly what it is. After all these years your mom would expect you to know her favorite food, color and perfume.
A special meal
Mom would like to be taken out but dont take her somewhere that serves the least of her favorite foods just because its cheap, your better off buying mothers day fruit bouquets so she has one great dessert and a great mothers day gift. Dont try and cook if you arent good at it because giving mom something thats either burnt or tasteless to eat is not the kind of dinner shed like to have.
Flowers
Flowers are the safe choice, but dont pick them from the neighbors yard. If youre getting flowers, make sure theyre good and be ready to spend some real cash or just try mothers day gift baskets instead. Some women dont like the whole cutting and picking flower concept. Its best to find a good alternative to flowers like fruit bouquets. Dont go for silk flowers because theyre extremely expensive and hard to take care of.
Personal space
A lot of people send flowers to moms and while they are a nice gift, what some moms really like or need is me time. Theyd like to be able to do something (anything) without worrying about dinner or being interrupted. Even when mom goes shopping, shes given a time limit and she needs to be back by then. Try and give her an entire worry free day. You can do this for your mom and for your wife. If youre old enough to cook, take over the house work for a day. If youre doing it for your wife, keeping the house in order really shouldnt be that hard.
