Last Minute Gifts for Mom!

• Bath and Body Works has some wonderful pump hand soaps that are inexpensive. Right now they are 5 for $18. They have such a large variety of new scents.  Lemon, Melon, Sweet Tangerine, Strawberry, and Peaches.  The foaming type is really good.  This is a useful gift and every Mom loves things that smell good. Slip the soaps in cellophane bags and tie with a ribbon.  In the photo above, you can see that I printed out quotes about moms and attached to each bag for an extra little touch.

• Frame a photo for Mom. Below is one of our family members with her Mom taken last week.  Wrap in a gift box with bright tissue paper and add a sweet ribbon.

• After 40 most of us need to start using “readers”, so why not buy Mom a few pair so she can have a pair to grab in every room.  If you wear “readers” you know how much she would love this, especially if she sews, reads, or crafts.  Michael’s Crafts has really crazy cute patterns, for only $2.99 a pair.  Again, put in a cellophane bag and tie with a ribbon!

Hope you can use these last minute inexpensive ideas.

Just an added note, don’t forget to appreciate all the single moms out there.  What a very hard job they have raising children alone.  How do they do it?  These special women do not get enough credit for all that they do!

Getting up, dressing for work, trying to look your best, and then getting the kids up, dressing them, feeding them, packing lunches, and driving them to school or day care, and still getting to work on time.

If you have a single mom friend, give them a small gift, let them know they are appreciated.

God Bless all of them on Mother’s Day!
