Mothers Day
Written by Gary
3rd April
How do I get tripped up every year by this event. I know it's coming but always leave it to the last minute to sort something out. The first few years when my wife became a mother was where the problem started.
I simply couldn't get my head around the concept that I had to go and buy a gift for her from her son. He wasn't able to because he was too young and couldn't go on the internet himself to order it. This leads to all sorts of problems such as what do you buy her, how do you get the kids to sign the card when they can't even write yet.
Problem solved - paint their hands and feet and get them to make prints on the card
Problem created - get the paint off of carpet, furniture and kids.
Imaginative gifts are the next problem - flowers are easy, as are chocolates but over the years I have tried to be more creative. One year I got a paperweight made from a picture with that laser etching technology. I got it from myPix and they still do similar items.
Click on the myPix logo to go to their website and click on photo gifts and then choose photos on glass
They have plenty of other gifts which just might add that something extra special for Mummy's first mothers day. (they have a 25% off promotion untill 30/06/11)
