Mother’s Day 2008 is Sunday, May 11th. Do you have something picked out for your mom yet? When it comes to buying gift, I am pretty lousy. I always feel overwhelmed and usually scramble at the last minute. This Mother’s Day, I would like to do something special for three moms — i.e., my mom, my wife (on behalf of my son), and her mom. But as usual I have no idea where to start.
Personally, I am not too thrilled about chocolates and flowers — although my wife loves Godiva chocolates. So, I have been looking around for Mother’s Day gift ideas, and here are some of the best ones:
- Spa — An afternoon at a local spa. It shouldn’t be too difficult to do a search on Google Map and make a couple of phone calls. Although it might be tough to get a spot on Mother’s Day.
- Spa Gift Basket — I think a spa gift basket, like Women’s Sampler by Caswell-Massey
or Green Tea Scent by Elizabeth Arden would be a nice alternative. This option is also more private and good for a lazy Sunday afternoon. - Photo Book — This is the new millennium version of a scrapbook. My sister visited this weekend and showed us a very cute Shutterfly Photo Book that chronicles our nephew first two years. However, I am also going to look at photo book from PhotoWorks which appears to be a bit less expensive.
- Photo and frame — If I can’t get a photo book in time, I think a good photo in a nice frame or a collage frame would be a great alternative.
- Handwritten poem on a handmade card – This is inexpensive, but very personal option. I think it works well with a nice dinner.
- iPod with hand-picked songs, photos, and videos — Load up a new iPod with her favorite songs, photos, and videos. It’s a little expensive, but I think this would be a terrific gift.
- Jewelry — I don’t know why women like jewelry so much, but it always work. I guess God made jewelry to keep dumb men out of trouble :-).
So what do you think about these Mother’s Day gift ideas?
