Mother’s Day Gift’s Made Easy

May has arrived and with that the Mother’s Day bells are ringing. Note it, diarize it, but don’t forget it, Sunday, May 12^th. As much as I love shopping, there’s something stressful about shopping for a gift. And, this is not any gift; this is for your mother or for the person who assumes that role in your life. There’s the pressure for the gift to be perfect and meaningful and it seems as if whatever I look at there’s that constant question at the back of my mind “will she like it?” “will she use it?” “is it thoughtful enough?”. If your mother is anything like mine, superficial gifts just won’t do, there’s nothing meaningful in buying a last minute bottle of bubble bath. Instead, as it’s still early days put some thought into it, and maybe if your mother is a bubble bath lover, make her a homemade card along with it. The most important thing is not the gift, but rather the overwhelming show of affection and love. 

 

Before buying a gift you might want to take a few minutes to think about the person’s likes, favourite colour or patterns and then keep these in mind when looking for a gift.

 

My Top 3 Gift Ideas:

 

-Nothing beats a homemade card and you could personalize it by adding a poem. Not the rhyming type? Google will help you out. A photo could also be added.

 

-A photo frame with a picture of you and the person.  The “love” “laugh” “live” photo frames would be winner and they would hold a precious moment.

 

-And then my personal favourite, bake something! Here the list is endless, you could bake someone’s favourite cake and top it with “Happy Mother’s Day” or you could bake a collection of small treats which they like. Once again, Google will help you out with an easy recipe.

 

These gift ideas are meaningful and best of all these ideas are student budget friendly.
