SHOW YOUR LOVE WITH A MEANINGFUL GIFT

Mother's day 2021 has crept upon us again. Indeed this is a blurred period, where time is measured by how long it's been since we have seen each other. For many, it's been a year-long hiatus since you saw Mum. While vaccines and safety measures govern our gatherings, we may need to find other ways to celebrate Mothers. Since the pandemic is still in full swing in many places our annual visit to a Mother's day brunch or dinner is impossible. However, there are many ways to show our love.

My Mum is not with me anymore, I miss her every day. My memories are the most precious things. Some of those memories are about the joy I gave my Mum with a gift. Whether it was Mother's day or birthday giving a gift brought happiness.

GIFT IDEAS

FRAGRANCE

My Mother (or how my English roots dictated my Mum) had a favorite fragrance. I can't recall many days where she didn't smell of Chanel no 5. Being aware of that, I often gave her Chanel no 5 fragrance. Moreover, if your Mum has a favorite perfume, this is always a great idea. While there are hundreds of great presents out there, a sure bet that will always delight, is a new fragrance to add to her dressing table.

WALLET

Specifically, I remember being in grade two and making a flower vase for Mother's Day. This craft included macaroni (a personal favorite) glued to a large apple juice tin and sprayed gold. Suddenly this tin can was the most beautiful thing in the world. Thanks, Mum. I still remember my pride. Somehow she made this a gift to me. I recall, years later, I bought my Mum a beautiful wallet, something she would never have purchased herself. Because the wallet was quality, my Mum used it for years, a constant reminder of my love.

SCARF

My Mother was an immigrant from England. In fact as a child I was fascinated hearing her stories about her childhood . British style is often made up of classic pieces. English women wear scarves a lot . Furthermore, I being the gay son who loved fashion was my Mum's fashion stylist ; in other words I went shopping with Mum on Saturdays (some of my most favorite times). In fact I remember saving money to buy my Mum the most beautiful scarf from a luxury store. A scarf unlike a dress or a coat never goes out of style. A beautiful silk scarf will last a lifetime. Of course the best gifts for Mother's Day are those special items your Mum would never buy herself.

HANDBAGS

When I was a kid my Mum's purse was that mystical place that you could never go into. Being sort of like "The Secret Garden" . While occasionally it would produce a dollar or hard candy it was like a hidden treasure trove . Of course as I aged I noticed the beauty of handbags , I knew my Mum always liked nice things but seldom purchased them for herself. In fact she was always making sacrifices for the family. So being the ultimate mummies boy I decided way back, that I would always try to give my Mum a special gift . The first time I gave her a handbag I was thrilled by how happy she was.
