Because I Said So: An Ode to Mother's Day

 

Your Mom made you take out the trash. She made you sit up straight. She told you not to speak with your mouth full of mashed potatoes, and its served you pretty well so far. You may have even used that mashed potatoes tip on your last blind date, am I right? So Mom's advice hasn't been all bad.

On Mothers Day, you may be tempted to reach for the phone and call the nearest florist, but isnt that a little ordinary? Your Mom gave you the tools, not to mention the genes to help you succeed in your business, in relationships, and at play. You think that kind of thing doesnt require strength? Femail Creations has a wonderful framed print on their ArtGallery page that kind of sums up the motherhood game in a nutshell. Beside an unbroken rose it reads: Perhaps strength doesnt reside in having never been broken but in the courage required to grow strong in the broken places. Your Mom will not only appreciate it, shell know you understand what shes been through raising you.

If you have an investor Mom, you might get her a membership in Black Box Investing, which rates each stock according to a series of black boxes. The more boxes are filled in, or blackened, the worthier that stock is of your attention, or your dollars. Its a great way to get involved in the stock market, if your Mom is a beginner, or to get truly unbiased research, if your Mom is a pro. We love Black Box Investing, and wouldnt make a move without it.

For a Mom who loves her pampering, we love Spa Finder. With a few clicks, you can search spas all over the world. From Arizona and California to Europe and the Caribbean, these people have it, and you can deliver it to your Mom in the form of a gift certificate. She can cash it whenever, wherever. You could do a lot worse by the lady who brought you into this world.

But for those who really want to make an impression, this is the slam dunk of all Mothers Day gifts. For just $9.95 per month for a 3-month membership, your mom can become a member of the Bag, Borrow or Steal club, which lets her rent, yes rent, gorgeous, expensive designer handbags without having to shell out 1,200 bucks a pop. Does she have a yearning for Jimmy Choo? Its here. A yen for Gucci? Check. Hell, she can rent three bags a month, if she chooses. The point is, your mom will love you for letting her feel like the diva she truly is. And that can never hurt at Christmastime, right?
