Gift ideas for the next Mother’s Day, to be commemorated nationwide this Sunday, May 9, 2010.
While the demand for traditional gift items such as flowers, gift baskets, chocolates, greeting cards is, as always, very high; On the other hand, this year has shown a growth in the demand for handmade jewelry and homemade cards for Mother’s Day. The shop like etsy has done a great job helping stay-at-home moms sell their handmade jewelry online.
As such, you can find fabulous gifts within a budget of $10 to $250. Inexpensive gifts such as magazine subscriptions, gift certificates to local movie rentals, or inexpensive gift baskets that cost anywhere from $5 to $10 can be considered. It’s also a great idea to try handmade alternatives. These jewels are handmade by stay-at-home moms to support their families. Therefore, when you buy a gift item in such a store, you are directly contributing to a social cause. Handmade items include necklaces, beaded bracelets, pendants and more such accessories. Priced from around $5 to $30, you can find many unique gifts on etsy.
A good replacement for the traditional flower bouquet can be a natural gardening bag. The fresh budding flowers arrive in a pot, which is reusable. This gift usually includes a pair of gardening gloves and a mini gardening trowel and fork.
You can consider glass frames, which you can personalize with your favorite poems and their photo. These fabulous frames are usually fitted with clear easel legs for a stunning tabletop display. This impressive gift will cost you around $40 – $50. But it is worth paying that amount. Create a Mother’s Day gift that won’t be forgotten. Consider a gift like the personalized MY M&M’S that contains their faces and messages wrapped in a gift box.
A gourmet gift basket is another option. The best part is that many online retailers allow you to hand-pick items, making them perfectly unique. Additionally, these gift baskets are wrapped in attractive packages with special Mommy ribbons that show her care and concern for her.
Clothing items, tote bags, and T-shirts aren’t a bad gift idea either. For health conscious moms, it would be a good idea to consider exclusive athletic things. As such, 100% cotton tote bags are durable and great for the environment.
If she’s a work-at-home mom, inspire her with gifts closely related to her field of work. She may need a MacSpeech dictation with a microphone. This brand article will transcribe her spoken words easily, quickly and, above all, accurately. You can also gift eco-friendly business cards to help your growing contacts.
If you just can’t find a suitable gift for her, why not consider a gift for your pet? You will definitely love her cute pet toys more than any gift card or bouquet of flowers for her. Other unique but useful gift ideas include phone cards, clothing and travel accessories, Shape-Ups, intimate apparel, glasses, and eyeglasses.
However, nothing can be a good substitute for jewelry and watches. You can consider exclusive collections for Mother’s Day or you can opt for more traditional necklaces, pendants or bracelets. If you need to replace your old clock, this is the time of year to do it. Also, you are likely to receive a decent discount on your orders as many online retailers have released special coupons keeping this big event in mind. If your budget allows it, you can also consider a designer watch like the innovative Glam Rock watch to make that day extra special for her.
