“All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother”, said Abraham Lincoln. All of us go through various phases with our mum’s depending on the stage of life we are in. When we are 5 we can never get enough of her, when we are in our teens she is so damn annoying, in our early 20’s she becomes a friend, come 30’s and when we become parents we understand her perfectly. Life comes full circle in this relationship. No matter what the age, an undeniable fact is none of us can live, breath, think or move without our mums. Her birthday is meant to celebrate the unique angel god has bestowed each one of us with.
Mums are special so a lot of thought must go into her birthday gift. Shake things up this year with these gift ideas. Trust us: she’ll love it!
- Go hi-tech: Take time out and teach your mum how to use the laptop, buy her a smart phone and teach her to chat on the phone or post pictures on Facebook. Make it exciting by buying her a host of accessories like a snazzy laptop bag, a mouse pad or a funny phone stand
- Say it with flowers: Send her a bouquet of her favorite flowers. To make the floral effect last longer, gift her a delicate cup and saucer set with flowers printed on them or a perfume with a floral fragrance.
- Long & winding road: Take your mum on a road trip or a long drive outside the city, just you two. Make a mix CD of her favorite songs and hum along on the drive. Catch up on conversations and just spend some alone time with her. She will love it!
- A dash of bling: A bracelet or a pendant with a message on it telling your mum how much she means to you is a sure hit
- Plate it up: Order her favorite food and have a quiet dinner at home. Make sure the settings are as per her taste. The crockery, the table linen, the music, the conversation. Pay attention to details. End the meal with her favorite chocolates.
Celebrate this day with great pomp. Make it as sunny as your mum’s smile and as wonderful as her love.
