Holidays - Mothers Day, Do You Know What Youre Giving The Woman Who Gave You Life?

Mothers Day, Do You Know What Youre Giving The Woman Who Gave You Life?

Mother's Day, Do you know what you're giving the woman who gave you life?by DeAnna Spencer

I decided to deviate from my normal discussion of marketing andadvertising to discuss a major gift giving holiday.

Mother's day is coming soon. May 8th to be exact. That is right around the corner. Did you ask your mom what she wanted for Mother's Day? Did she give you one of those "Whatever you think of is fine, dear." answers? Or even better, did she say, "Oh you don't have to get me anything."Here are some suggestions of things to get your mom for Mother's day.

Gift Certificates to a spa.Tickets to the theater(movie, opera, musicals, whatever she's into).Something personalized with your picture on it.There are lots of places online that will put your picture on a wide array of items:hats, tote bags, mugs, the list goes on and on.This is especially good if you live far away from your mother.She will always have something to remember you by while you are away.Time to herself (see the spa idea).Cook instead of waiting all day at a restaurant.Spend some time with her. Sometimes that is even better than the most expensive thing you could find in the store.A coupon to do the laundry (or whatever other chore your mom hates) for a month.If you have small children in the family, offer to babysit.

Those are just a few ideas that I have come up with. Feel free to post some other ideas in the comment section of the ezine.

It's true that you should not wait until Mother's Day to show your Mom how much you appreciate her. However, since this day has been set aside to honor mothers, then take some extra time to make it special for your Mom.

Youre How Old?!?
"Well, Happy Birthday! How old are you anyway?""Oh, I'm just 29 ? again."It's a harmless game, denying our age, right? We play sensitive about our age as we get older, as we get further away from birth and closer to death. It's just a way to share our unease of growing older with people around us.Try as we might, time marches on and we get older just the same. I was reminded about this when I recently read that we are now...(related: Holidays)

Valentines Day
Ever wondered how February 14 became, the day on which we celebrate and explore love in all its many ideals, Valentines Day.There are many differing opinions on how Valentines Day started.One story say that when the Roman Empire reigned, a festival every February was held in honour of the God of Fertility and during this time, young men would choose their mate. When a Emperor named Claudius can around, he outlawed all marriages in fear that the men would not be able to fight. Young couples still fell in love though and still wished to marry and they took these desires to the Catholic Bishop Valentine who, understan...(related: Holidays)

Christmas Decorating Ideas - Edible Ornaments
Although it is now more decades away than I care to admit too often, there were four things I loved most about my childhood Christmases in England:1. the excitement of the Christmas gifts being put under the Christmas tree, and then the family opening of the gifts on Christmas morning;2. the food; all the special sweets being put out Christmas Eve; Christmas Lunch with the turkey, lots of roast potatoes, brandy butter, and Christmas pudding being set alight at the table;3. all the Christmas ornaments and decorations going up before Christmas, and most especially putting up and decorating the Christmas tree; and,4. the games we would play.Food, though, did play a major part, and still does in English homes today. So, really, it is no surprise that food even became part of the ...(related: Holidays)

Making Gifts A Pleasure
As we reach the time of year when Christmas items start to appear in the stores, and thoughts of vacations start to wind down with the shortening daylight, it is a good time to think about gifts. Not only the gifts, though, but also the practise of giving.Offering a gift can be a mutual pleasure; some might say it should be a pleasure for giver and recipient. A problem with a modern commercial Christmas, however, is that buying gifts can become a chore. Often it is a stress ridden chore in the dying days before Christmas Day, as everything gets left to the last minute.
