Mother's
Day Tips 5
|
|
|
If you want
to spend a little money on a gift for mom, but want something
that will last for a long time, you can purchase a flowering plant,
instead of cut flowers, or bush to plant in the yard or in a container
for her house. You can also purchase a bird or hummingbird feeder
so that she can watch the birds outside. You can also purchase
a subscription to her favorite magazine so that she will receive
it for a year or two years. |

and cosmetics. |

Mother's
Day Tips 10
|
|
|
Skip the
"Mother's Day Brunch" at your local chain restaurant. The place
will be crammed to the max with people, the servers will be over-worked
and harried, and because of the amount of people coming in and
out and the "special" menu, the food probably won't be that good.
Take the time to cook something for your mother. Even if you're
not the next Gordon Ramsay or Bobby Flay, your mother will appreciate
the extra effort you've made. |
