Mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers and many more remarkable women often work tirelessly and without fanfare to provide for their families.
Even though they may deserve to be recognized throughout the year, moms enjoy a special day nestled within the month of May when children, spouses and others celebrate Mother’s Day.
Many people give heartfelt gifts on Mother’s Day to express their love for the mothers in their lives. The perfect gift may focus on your mom’s interests and the things that make her truly happy. With that in mind, the following shopping tips can help anyone find the perfect Mother’s Day gift.
• Explore spa packages. What mother won’t benefit from some rest and relaxation with a little pampering thrown in? Salons and massage therapists typically put together Mother’s Day packages that cater to mothers. Packages may include massages, facials, hair treatments, manicures, and pedicures. Gift-givers can customize the services depending on their budgets.
• Dining out can be a treat. A meal at a favourite restaurant can be a welcome change from kitchen duty. Mother’s Day is a busy day for restaurants, many of which have limited menus to better handle the crowds. As a result, if dining out on Mother’s Day, Mom may not get the full menu she desires. To ensure mothers have full menus at their disposal, you may want to cook a meal at home on Mother’s Day and then choose another day of the week to enjoy a meal in a restaurant.
• Give tickets to a show or sporting event. Whether Mom is a sports fan or she prefers the theatre or live music, event tickets can make a wonderful gift.
• Give the gift of wine tasting. Many wineries can be found in the Okanagan and there are a few in the Lower Mainland as well. A Mother’s Day wine tasting can be special for the entire family (although those under 19 obviously can’t taste wine) and support B.C. businesses.
