Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Posted by: cassie  /  Category: Holidays, Sales, Coupons & Contests, Tips, Hints & Other Stuff

Mother’s Day is fast approaching (it’s May 11th) and if you are anything like me you always try to find something cool for your mom (wife/SO, MIL, sister, grandma count too guys!). My mom is helpful some years and send me ideas along the way and other years I fly blind and come up with something. I figured I’d do my part and help y’all out with some ideas that you may not have thought of (I’ll include coupon codes if I can too).

  • A nice bouquet of flowers. This works well if they are picky or have everything there is to have. Also great if you live far away and ordering at the last minute. 1800flowers.com or ftd.com are good places to start.
  • Jewelry! You can’t go wrong with a nice necklace or ring, especially if it’s mother’s jewelry. I’ve used Bidz.com in the past with great success.
  • Plants - if your mom is a gardening nut like mine this is a major hit. Last year I got her a set of 6 rose plants from Jackson & Perkins (use coupon code JAF to save 10%, exp 4/30/08). Other great places to order from are Wayside Gardens, Michigan Bulb Company and Parkseed (Save 10 % OFF orders $25+ with this link).
  • Gift Baskets. I mean who can resist food, wine or chocolate! GourmetGiftBaskets.com has a nice selection, as does Gift Baskets.com (use coupon code ZK-8978 to save 10%).
  • Pamper them with beauty supplies. Scented oils, lotions, perfume… Beauty.com offers free shipping on orders of $49+. Upurea is also a nice touch for natural/organic beauty.
