Some find Mother’s Day gift ideas a breeze. For others … well, we settle for what we have to work for. In the past few years, ever since I discovered “gift cards,” that has been my easy way out for gifting. Yes, easy and predictable if done repeatedly over the years.
Why not give her a gift that will surprise and delight her with that special touch of adding a poem? If you decide not to be predictable (as I did) this year, then ask yourself these questions:
What is my mom passionate about? What are your hobbies? What are their likes and dislikes? He likes art? Films? Flowers Comedy? Read? Crafts? How about traveling? Do you have any special needs? What language are you most comfortable speaking in?
If she is more comfortable speaking in Spanish, then a card with poetry in that language is likely to move and surprise her. She knows that you are not a poet and will probably appreciate even more the effort to find that special in her own language.
The surprise part will be that it was so unpredictable! Then go ahead and get him that poem. It can also be written on your card to accompany your gift.
Also, try to avoid last minute purchases! We all know how stressful it can be to bump into people or be pushed around by other shoppers passing by.
Happy Mother’s Day Looking for Adventure!
