Don’t let the Mother’s Day’s commerce turn you off
Mother’s Day is a big economic event. Yes. However, it is important for every mom as well. Of course, nobody likes the commerce around it, but Mom would be so disappointed if you would not come up with something special for her.
Do what you did as kid
Remember, when you were in elementary school, teachers always came up with a DIY project to create a gift for Mother’s Day. Of course, most likely you can’t get away with this anymore, but you can create a Mother’s Day outfit that won’t upset her. In plain English, I always tried to avoid to break her fashion rules without violating my own style.
When you visit your mom on Mother's Day avoid wearing something that upsets her. #MothersDay Click To Tweet
Remember the fun you had with DIY for Mother’s Day
As a kid, you made her breakfast on Mother’s Day. Thus, why not inviting her for brunch? Make sure you make a reservation before you invite her. You might otherwise end up with having invited her for brunch, but don’t get a spot.
Last minute gift suggestions
Do you have already a gift for her? If not, there are some last minute gift suggestions beyond buying super-expensive flowers. Have you realized how the prices for flowers go up each year around Mother’s Day? 🙁
- Jewelry and accessories are always welcome. No women ever said she has enough jewelry. #Mothersday Click To Tweet
- Did you know that you can also buy a gift card for a wooden watch. Then she can do the pick.
- You may even want to give yourself a wooden watch as a Mother’s Day gift when you are a mom. 😉 One day in a blue moon, I will get a second wooden watch for sure. The wooden band is so nice on the skin when it gets hot in summer.
- A new bag in a color that goes beyond the neutrals makes also a very nice gift.
