Mothers Day Gifts: Flowers? Music? Jewelry? I still have no idea what to give Mom.
Every year I find myself in the same situation: its a week or two before Mother’s Day and I have no idea what I’m getting my Mom or Step-Mom.
I am a reluctant shopper in the best of times, but mix that with my guilt for not calling more often and the string of well-intentioned but poorly-planned gifts in the past; and I become damn near incapable of buying anything. Its not that I don’t want to give my Mom(s) great mothers day gifts; its that I’m terrified that anything I pick will elicit the standard hug, a “Thank you”, and then be put in the closet.
Maybe I’m alone on this one, but nothing hurts like finding your mother’s day gifts on that shelf in the spare bedroom where knickknacks go to die.
This year, in order to reduce the anxiety, I chose to shop online and look for a single store with a lot of mother’s day gift ideas. I figured a mother’s day jewelry gift would be a safe bet, but also wanted some less obvious options (music boxes anyone?). Right now, I’m hooked on the Mother’s Day Shop at Collectibles Today. It has hundreds of mother’s day gifts including mother’s day rings and necklaces, figurines, music boxes and some stuff I don’t have names for…
I haven’t decided on which gifts yet, but I expect to decide today. Check back to find out what I came up with.
