Mother's Day Gifts for a Mom who has Everything!

I have a mother who has everything! Getting a  gift for a mom who has everything can be a challenging task. Don’t stress yourself out. Listed below are a few "do's" and "don't" that should help make your gift giving process a little easier. And remember, no matter what you buy, it’s the thought that counts!

Do buy something that is personal and within your budget. Your mom or wife will not feel as good about your gift if they know you over-extended yourself to give it. The most valuable gifts come from the heart not the wallet. Many things fall within the personal and inexpensive category:

• Books -- find your woman's favorite topic and buy a book. Do a little back door research to find out what she likes. Then help her find the time to read it.
• DVDs Or CDs -- find your woman's favorite movies or music genre and buy them a disc! They will love getting a gift of one of their admired artists. Or give them something to to expand their library.

• Event Tickets -- find the recipient's favorite band, team or musical and get them tickets. Women often times will not find the time or money to do this for themselves -- it's a luxury.
• Sports Memoribilia -- any mom or girlfriend has a favorite sports team -- especially if you are a sports fanatic. Find their favorite team and give them a memento (i.e., cup, travel mug, candy dish, etc.). Once again it is a luxury they wouldn't normally purchase for themselves.

Don't buy anything related to the everyday and mundane.  You mom or wife doesnot want to be reminded of things they have to do for a regular routine.  They want something different. Also do not buy something that is imtimately personal. Your woman knows what she likes for herself in terms of jewelry, perfume, clothing, etc. Things that fall under the categories of mundane and too personal are listed below:

• Edibles -- while giving chocolates, cookies, cheese baskets and wine may seem like a good idea people have dietary issues or allergies that may not make the gift practical for them.
• Perfumes -- most of the women I know have 1-2 parfums and powders that they perfer. You may not know what they are. Buying something different may leave it in the giftbox for a long time.
• Jewelry -- once again every woman has a preference -- gold, silver, rings, bracelets.  There may also be health and religious restrictions that limits a woman's enjoyment of jewelry -- i.e., arthritis.
• Flowers -- while they look great in the picture many baskets and bouquets are not as advertised when delivered. Additionally, like food, flower alllergies can once again be an issue.

Five Key Ideas for Mother's Day Gifts

Mother's Day is a week from Sunday. It's on May 9th, so that means it's time to stop procrastinating and choose a gift for your Mom or your wife. To help guide you toward accomplishing this goal, I have listed FIVE great gift ideas from across the web. The store banners listed in the left column link you directly to some great gifts and greats stores so all you have to do is  click a link and whip out that credit card, and you are home free!

1. Flowers--by far the most given gift on Mother's Day is flowers. There's a reason for that; they are easy to order and women love them. Listed on the left are links to my favorite places to order flowers. You can order a bouquet for as little as $19.99 with free delivery. Just choose one and go to town, guys!

2. E-cards--my suggestion, if you decide to send your mom or wife an e-card, is that you don't consider it to be their actual Mother's Day gift, but that's just me. Sending an e-card is a great way to say "I Love You," often without spending a dime. Take a little time and find a special card you know the one you love will appreciate.

3. Spa Treatment--As a female I can attest to the fact that a smart gift for the woman in your life is a spa treatment. And no, this gift of relaxation and beauty is no longer reserved for the well-to-do. For instance, you can buy a half-hour massage for as little as $25. Just go to Wayspa.com or Spafinder.com and order a gift card from the salon/spa of your choice for the amount you want to spend. Pamper your mom or wife this year by giving her the gift of pampering herself.

4. Department store gift cards--It's a fact of nature that women love to shop, so give your loved one the ability to splurge on herself this Mother's Day by buying her a gift card to her favorite department store. You can order a discounted gift card from department stores such as Macy's, Nordstrom's, Target, Walmart, Nieman Marcus, and many others at Mercardi.com and have it in time for Mother's Day, IF YOU ORDER NOW! We also offer gift cards from American Express in the left column.

5. Lunch or Dinner Out--I don't know of a woman who doesn't love to go out to eat. Splurge on Mother's Day and take your mom or wife to Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Chili's, Applebee's, or one of dozens of other restaurants which MERCARDI.COM sells discounted gift cards to. (and make sure and spring for dessert!)

Of course there are plenty of other gift ideas for Mother's Day, these are just the top 5 I know for sure your mom or wife will love. The most important thing is just to not forget to express your love on Mother's Day!
