A Make Over for Mom…A Closet Make-Over!

Surprise your mom with a total closet make-over including the” Huggable Hangers Designer Closet Organize-It Set” (my all-time favorite problem solving product!).   Loving all the cool new colors!  Create a gift certificate to go with it that can be redeemed for an afternoon of time together cleaning out and organizing her closet.  The finished product will be fabulous and the bonding time…priceless!  What Mom wouldn’t want that?  I know I do!

Memoire for Mom

One of my Mom’s all-time favorite Mother’s Day gifts was a coffee table style book my brother and I made for her chronicling all our favorite moments with her through photos and words.   It’s a treasure she’ll always have – her grandkids especially love looking at it when they visit!  All the online resources have made it so simple for you to be your own publisher.  My favorite is Shutterfly…click below.

Gift of time...Your time!

As our parents age, it gets harder and harder for them to accomplish all the day to day chores around their home.  If you’re on a budget, a perfect way to show your Mom you care this Mother’s Day is by giving her a day of your time.  Ask her to come up with a “Honey Do List”, bring in her favorite lunch and spend the day helping her around the house.   My brother and I did this one year and it turned out to be as special of a gift for us as it was for her.  If you have children, definitely involve them in the fun—Grandma will love it!

For the Mom Who’s Miles Away

Surprise her by reserving a table at her favorite restaurant for her and her best friend.  Be sure to send her a bottle of her favorite wine!

Gift for Grandma

Book a professional photo shoot for her and her grandkids!  What a fun way to for your Mom to spend the afternoon!  The finished product will be something she’ll treasure for her lifetime.

Adore & Accessorize!

Okay…a bit of a shameless plug for my interchangeable handbag collection, The Cambia™ Clutch.  But truthfully, it makes a fabulous Mother’s Day gift!  Just ask my Mom, my Mother-in-Law and my Grandma!  It’s a gorgeous handbag collection that gives her three clutch purses for the price of one…and because the clutch covers stack flat for storage and packing, it takes up the space of only one!  Made of the same lambskin leather that’s used on the Chanel bags costing thousands of dollars, this is an affordable, yet totally chic, designer handbag that gives her three couture looks to suit every occasion and every style.  You’ll love seeing the expression on her face when she realizes you bought her not one, not two…but three new purses!    Click below to learn more…
