Are you looking for a reason to shop? I can give you one – Mother’s Day – a day that is being celebrated every second Sunday in over 70 countries. That is the special day for honoring Mothers through out the world. There is no better occasion to buy your mum something nice except maybe her birthday. In Europe we also celebrate Mother’s day, only there it’s on 8th of March and we prefer to call it woman’s day. Thus all the ladies has a reason to celebrate and exchange small gifts. Girls have a reason to dress up and go party, so everybody feels special, no matter if has children or not. Although I don’t agree women should be honoured only one day throughout the whole year. Every day, every minute you can show your mom, sister, girlfriend, wife how important and significant she is for you. Don’t wait for Mother’s day to show some appreciation. Small gestures can work all the time, no matter the date. However use 10th of May to express big love and gratitude by buying something special and unique. With today’s post I will give you top 5 present ideas or what may make your mummies happy.
1. Favourite fragrance or designers cosmetics
To me perfume or high-quality cosmetic is a great Mother’s gift. All of my favourite scents like “Be Delicious”, “Miracle”, “Chance” are being given as presents. Before I didn’t want to spend money on expensive fragrances or cosmetics. That’s why I would have never tried out L’ancome mascara or body lotion, Chanel face care or Dior makeup. I am sure most of you know how good are those products and the huge difference between these and the cheap cosmetics. So if your mom is like this and prefers not to spend lots of money on high-class products, you can make her a huge surprise by choosing her favourite scent from FragranceX, because many of these fragrances were created to honor ‘motherhood’ or by well known mothers. Another idea may be a nice time-fighting revitalizing Chanel lotion from StrawberryNET
for only $39. Let me tell you what these two online stores offer as specials for Mother’s Day and you can decide if that’s some good option for your mom:
* FragranceX - extra 10% off any order, valid until May 15th. Use coupon code MOM2009. Also you can get both free shipping plus 10% off for orders over $59 in USA, using the same coupon code at checkout.
* StrawberryNET – free shipping on skincare & cosmetics anywhere in the world. Something very nice they offer is a complimentary gift wrapping on all orders – perfect ah? But that’s not all – you can also get an additional 5% discount for purchases of 3 or more products. Oh and one more – new customers only will receive a FREE Stila Lip color that values $17 – who said only moms should receive presents, we deserve one too
2. Trendy and affordable clothing
I love buying clothes to my mom simply because she never has time to take care of herself. So I really enjoy when I can buy her something nice to dress and cheer up. The only problem till now was that whatever I buy she never likes it. Then what’s the point of giving her nice stuff when she almost never wears it? That problem is solved since I moved to America and made this blog. Now she goes online to check my new posts, reviews all the trendy and affordable online stores and just tells me what looks good to her and I buy it. This way she gets only the things she likes and I don’t need to worry about mother’s presents anymore. So let’s take a look at the clothing stores online and see some gift ideas for Mother’s day for less than $40:

Has your mom recently bought a new pair of shoes, but is still using her old purse??? So probably that’s exactly the right time to make her happy giving a brand new boutique purse. And that doens’t necessary mean expensive. I am also looking for a white purse to buy my mom, so if you see something nice and affordable, please let me know. So far I found these, all for less than $40:

5. Bright, sweet and beautiful – just like her!
My last tip for Mother’s Day present is the best invention in the world of gifts. I mean seriously – whoever came up with the idea is an absolute genious. Flowers that can be eaten! And not only that, but they are super delicious and incredibly beautiful. If you haven’t sent to anyone yet, now is the perfect time – just check out Edible Arrangements website. I am telling you – it’s one of a kind present! I’ve already used it for 5 different occasions and every single person simply loved it. Well, that’s a little expensive gift, but it’s totally worth it. Especially if you are living together with your mom – you will also have the chance to enjoy it Still I succeeded to find few arrangements for about $40:
\
Price: $40.00 Price: $42.00
Whatever you choose to buy your mom, don’t forget the gesture is more important and combined with some beautiful words will warm her heart!
I can’t believe how cheap all this is! You guys in the US are so lucky, there’s nothing like this over here really. My mum would have loved that sparkly ring!
Ah-ma-zing finds. Maybe I could just buy it for my mom, then take it for myself? Or we could share? Sounds like a plan!
Getting a mother days gift does not have to be expensive and extravagant.
It can be something that is handmade and personalized or a gift that complement mom’s interest and passion.
Take time to think through what are mom’s favorite hobbies and interest and than go through Amazon or your nearest store and shop that special gift for mom.
Happy Mothers Day To All Mothers
