Mother's Day is Coming Up

It's never to early to start thinking about gifts for mom. Mother's Day is one of the most important gift occasions of the year. Missing a birthday is one thing. Missing Mother's Day is a totally disasterous blunder and simply unacceptable. It's not so much the gift that counts, it's the thought that goes into it. You could send your mom a dried up daisy as long as you put your heart and soul into it. One option is to get crafty and make something totally unique that she can hang on her wall or display proudly on her desk. But if you're older than five, you might want to consider something fun for her garden along with some beautiful Mother's Day flowers. Flowers are a staple item that I always send along with and in addition to something unique, fun or interesting. You should have some idea of your mother's interests. With that knowledge, there are certainly some great books out there that would peak her interest. My mom is into fashion so I recently gave her Dressed: A Century of Hollywood Costume Design, available from Amazon.com. It was a huge hit. Gifts.com offers a cool way to shop for mom by her interests. They've organized gift ideas by 'decorator mom', 'stylish mom', 'gardening mom' and more. In the next few days I'll look at some additional great gift ideas to get your creative gifting brain going for Mom's special day.
