As Mother’s Day is now just a couple of weeks away, it’s time that kids everywhere stopped to have a think about what their mums might like as a little present.
Unfortunately for me my mum is no longer with us, so it’s something I don’t have to worry about, but I have 2 children of my own and they always get me a little gift. I also have to get something for my husband’s mum as he doesn’t have a clue and would probably end up at the last minute getting her a bunch of flowers from the local garage!!
From a personal point of view I’m especially keen on silver rings and have quite a large collection. It doesn’t have to cost a fortune, just be in a style that I like. I am more than happy with a little ring from one of the High Street shops because to me it’s not about how much was spent, but the fact that they actually took the time to get me something.
Funnily enough last year they both gave me silver earrings. For kids they do have pretty good taste in ladies jewellery, so something good must have rubbed off from me.
Unfortunately this didn’t rub off for their dad’s presents last year on Father’s Day. They both chose men’s jewellery for him, and in all honesty neither piece was something my husband would wear.You never know, perhaps this year they might get him some tools he could use around the house – that would definitely keep him happy. Better still would be something to do with his much loved golf clubs. I have never met anyone who is so keen on their sport. My other half is out playing golf in all weathers, in fact the only time he doesn’t go out is when it is thunder and lightning and the golf course is shut.
Having said all that, I had better ensure he hasn’t gone and booked any golf on Mother’s Day. The kids may stretch to getting me a present, but hubby is the one who makes sure I get a cooked breakfast, no way would I let the kids loose in the kitchen.
