Our thoughts should be about MOTHER'S and MOTHER'S DAY!!!

"A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie."- Famous Tenneva Jordan

"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavour by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." - Inspirational sayings by Washington Irving

GIFT IDEAS:

- Gift Hampers and Baskets When you wish to pamper your mothers with loads of gifts on the special occasion of Mothers Day, gift baskets make an excellent gift idea. And today you do not need to go shopping for all the goodies one by one as there are several attractive Mothers Day Gift Baskets available in any gift store around you. I SUGGEST FILLING ONE WITH SOME OF YOUR MOM’S FAVORTIES-or theme gift baskets-such as all the fixin's for 17 bean soup, movie night, spa time, etc. One of the best and cheapest baskets I created was using sample perfume bottles I collected from all the perfume counters at Macy's!

- Recipe Book A recipe book is perhaps one of the most adorable gift ideas to try this Mother's Day.

- Mother's Day Gift Flowers As flowers are one of the most popular Mother Day gift, florists come up with a huge range of Mothers Day Flower and Bouquet. Buy the beautiful flowers for mothers day. This would not just reflect your love for your mother but it would also show that you care for her likes and dislikes. Most Popular Flowers: Carnations, Daffodils, Roses, Tulips, Freesia, Pot chrysanthemums, Mixed bouquets.

- Perfume - Perfumes along with flowers are an instant hit with the ladies of all age. Make sure to keep your mothers choice in mind while you shop for Mother Day Perfume. Think about what kind of fragrance she prefers.

- Free coupons Free gift coupons are a well tried gift idea, so pamper her with movie tickets or spa coupons. Gift certificates also form a good idea - let your mom decide what she wants and she can go on a shopping spree.

- Accessories Watches and handbags. You may also gift her suitable folders and file-cabinets/caddies/organizing baskets, etc. to help her keep her items/papers in place.
