Hello everyone!!
I know....2 posts in one week!! I'm shocked too! Ha, ha.
I was thinking about Mother's Day Sunday and how different its going to be this year. I don't much of my family will be over this year because Corona/COVID-19 is still hanging around. I know that my daughter has to work and my son will probably make an appearance. I don't know about the other children and grandchildren, I hope they do show up even if its just for a few minutes.
Anyway... I know a lot of our schedules are out of sorts and even though some of us are home the days tend to fly by and now Mother's Day is just a few days away. I thought I would share some of the things I like with you all. They are all inexpensive and thoughtful. Most of them can be found at the few stores that are still open; i.e. Target, Walmart, Walgreens, and the grocery stores that have a floral or garden center. The Piggly Wiggly I work at has both.
So first up is of course flowers. I love all flowers. Hanging baskets, potted plants or a bouquet. The more colorful the more I like them. You can usually get these at a deal right before Mother's Day.
Second, I thought of family photos on greeting cards. You could take your children to make these at Walgreens. They have an array of templates to choose from. I have pretty good luck with these. Again, inexpensive and it will mean the world to your mom, wife are grandmother to have this personalized. I usually get mine the same day. So turn around is quick.
Next is the good ole standard coffee cup. They are always a winner at my house. You could get a plain white or colored cup, stop by arts and crafts in Walmart to pick up some cheap paint and brushes to make a sweet display on the side of the cup for your mom. Those tend to go over every well. Especially when younger kids are involved.
Essential Oils and diffusers are big now. I have one and I think it helps me relax. The ones I have here are found at Target are priced from $15.99 to $27.99. Some light up; you can adjust the settings on them to continuously be on or intervals. The oils can be bought by single bottle or in a kit. The kit is around $15 for a kit of four of .25 oz each bottle.
We ladies like to have our manicures and pedicures. Since the spas and salons are closed due to the COVID-19, I found this Sally Hansen 2 step Miracle Gel Polish. The bottles 0.5 fl. oz. for $7.00 each. It will not last as long as a professional manicure but it will look nice until the salons open back up.
Books are always laying around at my house. I have always loved to read. As I got older I fell in love with reading and studying the Bible. So a Bible study is a great gift as well. Target and Walmart will be a good place to find those. Also, devotions are welcome at my house.
Lastly, breakfast in bed. Yes, your mom, including me would love to pampered in the morning with breakfast. I have always thought was the sweetest thing for the children to help make breakfast and surprise mom with how much they love her through food. Its so sweet and special.
I hope these ideas helped some. Like I was saying, Mother's Day is going to be a little different this year. Its ok though, we will get through this and in the years to come we will all be talking about it surrounded with our families. I pray its sooner than later.
As always, thanks for stopping by and visiting. Please leave a comment or suggestion if you would like to hear of something else. Bible study ideas, recipes, work outs, anything that will help and encourage us along the way.
Have a great week!
Blessings.
Dawn
