Guess what? Mother’s Day is right around the corner. Have you gotten your mom that special gift yet? Me neither.
Instead of the traditional flowers and decorated “I love you” poem on a Hallmark card, what about something else? (Not that there is anything wrong with the above mentioned items. Hallmark rocks!)
Here are some ideas:
Mother’s Day-inspired e-cards and social media campaigns
-Visit facebook.com/Macys and join the “Thank-a-Mom Movement” by sending free, personalized Facebook messages. Macy’s will then donate $5 in your sweet mother’s honor, to one of five charities.
Dark Chocolate
-There are many health benefits of dark chocolate. It has antioxidant qualities as well as “other positive influences on vascular health”, according toThe Cleveland Clinic. Look for chocolates with few added ingredients for the more natural flavor.
Stress Relieving Massage
-Let’s face it. Most of those gray hairs that our mothers have, or will have, are from her children. Help her relieve some of that stress we so willingly provide with a massage. If you’re in the Branson, Missouri area I recommend  Renee’s Therapeutic Massage.
Technology
-Of course you need to get her updated on the latest and greatest. What about an Iphone? Ipad? Ipod? Flipcam? Be prepared to teach her how to use it. Okay, that was meant more for my own mother. 🙂
Personalized Items
–One of my favorite websites is personalizationmall.com. They have every item you can think of, from personalized bath robes, coffee mugs, t-shirts, rugs, you name it. Get it made the way she would want it. There’s still time to order – they have express shipping.
There are just a few ideas that came to mind for this Mother’s Day. Happy Mother’s Day to all those sweet mama’s.
