I’ve scanned racks and racks of cards, looking for a message that feels just right for my mom.
I’ve read numerous articles on unique gifts like a Daum vase (too expensive) or hand-made crafts (not Mom’s style).
Given that Mother’s Day (second after Valentine’s) is the time to give cut flowers, I pondered that option too. But we are not in the South of France where cut flowers are not only beautiful but affordable, and my mom would rather have something more lasting she can plant.
I’m sure I’m not alone in looking for the perfect Mother’s Day gift.
My mom would say the best gift is family, which includes pets. But this year, with our family so scattered (Turkey , the South of France and the East Coast), it’ll be just the two of us.
In the past years, Mom would want to fix the Mother’s Day meal herself (after all, it’s the time together, she would say). But this time, she has agreed. The two of us will head for a restaurant in the historic downtown.
And the perfect gift? The time spent together along with some photos (of the pets), rose petal jelly and a fire orchid she can plant.
What are you doing for Mother's Day?
