Moms can be easy to shop for or moms can be hard to shop for. It all depends on your mom and what she likes or dislikes. In general, gifts should be geared at things that mom would not buy for herself. Mom works hard all day and gifts that allow her to be pampered or give her a chance to relax are generally good choices. Gifts should be some sort of indulgence that will give her something to enjoy for a while.Something mom would never buy for herself is a foot spa so this would make a great gift. Moms need a chance to relax and the HoMedics PedicurePro Foot Spa will certainly give her the chance to treat themselves to that relaxation time they need while pampering her tired feet. This particular foot spa features a bubbling massage action as well as heat and many other great features. There are also other foot spas and massagers on the market that mom would surely enjoy if you cannot afford the $50 price tag on this model. While pampering her feet, mom would probably love to read the latest bestseller books or listen to her favorite CDs. Thus, books or CDs make great gifts.
According to www.nytimes.com, the current top 5 hardcover fiction books are: 1.FOR ONE MORE DAY, by Mitch Album 2. THIRTEEN MOONS, by Charles Frazier 3. MOTOR MOUTH, by Janet Evanovich 4. THE BOOK OF FATE, by Brad Meltzer 5. THE THIRTEENTH TALE, by Diane Setterfield The current top 5 paperback fiction books are: 1. DANCE OF THE GODS, by Nora Roberts 2. THE MEMORY KEEPER’S DAUGHTER, by Kim Edwards 3. PREDATOR, by Patricia Cornwell 4. MARY, MARY, by James Patterson 5. TOXIC BACHELORS, by Danielle Steel Realize that these lists are sure to change but if mom has not read the above books, they will still make great choices, even if they have moved down the list a bit by the time you do your shopping. If mom does not like to read fiction, perhaps she will enjoy non fiction books. The same website also offers a list of hardback and paperback non-fiction choices. Purchasing CDs may be a challenge unless you really know your mom’s taste in music. Other than music, you can, of course choose great books on CD for mom to listen to while she is relaxing. Mom will, of course, need a new iPod to play her new CDs on or even simply a CD player may be a good choice. When choosing a CD player, decide whether a stationary table model or a more portable model would work best for your mom. A quality pair of headphones would make a nice addition to this gift so mom can listen to her music while tuning out on the rest of the world. Mom sure does deserve a break like this, doesn’t she? If foot spas, books nor music are for your mom, then how about a bottle of fancy perfume. There are many choices and if you pick one out at one of the better department stores, you are sure to be a hit. In addition, mom may like lotions, powders or any combination of the above. Sometimes, these can be purchased together in a gift package so you barely even have to even do any wrapping. Moms will never turn down jewelry. It doesn’t have to be super expensive for mom to just love it either. Charm bracelets or necklaces with kid charms and/or birthstones make a nice gift. These can be purchased at many jewelry stores or one online source is www.lifetimemothers.com . Another good jewelry choice is a Mother’s Ring which can include the birthstones of her children. Mom will cherish such a ring forever! Whatever you buy for mom, make sure that you think about her likes and dislikes. If you keep these things in mind, one of the above choices will surely fit your mom and your mom will be very happy when she goes to open her gifts at holiday time! By A. Ormont,
