At times shopping for Mother's Day gifts can be a challenge. It's not always easy to determine exactly what type of gift to give to the various types of moms in our lives. The one thing you should keep in mind is the gift should be thoughtful and personalized to the recipients taste. If you are not sure what your mom enjoys, just go on a little snooping mission, and dig around to find out her likes and dislikes. This way no matter what you choose you'll be closer to getting it right rather than getting it all wrong. Here are a few suggestions that might help you along the way:
Mom-to-Be
Purchase gifts that a mom-to-be can use during her pregnancy such as body butters for the tummy and luxury body care items that can bring the spa to mom. Giver her a gift that pampers her so that she can enjoy a bit of ‘me’ time before the baby arrives.
The Mother In-Law
Your mother in-law's gift should be heartfelt but also a little whimsical to add a personal touch that will make her feel loved. Fun ways to do this is by channeling her favorite inner celeb and gift her favorite fragrance from her favorite celebrity!
Step Mom
Show her you care by giving her something she can show off. Opt for a piece of jewelry or an item that she can actually use is a great choice.
Brand New Mom
Joining the Moms Club for the very first time can take a bit of adjusting. Give her a gift that will arm her with tools to deal with rude people and their sometimes inappropriate questions, and unwelcome advice. My new book Let Crazy Be Crazy can do just that!
