Top Five Gift Ideas for Mother's Day

Mother's Day is a week from Sunday. It's on May 9th, so that means it's time to stop procrastinating and choose a gift for your Mom or your wife. To help guide you toward accomplishing this goal, I have listed FIVE great gift ideas from across the web. Each gift I have listed can be ordered through the link I have left you and will be delivered in time for Mother's Day if you order TODAY!

I have done all the hard work, guys, all you have to do is click a link and whip out that credit card, and you are home free!(Girls, if you know of a guy who needs to get his mother or wife a gift for Mother's Day but hasn't done it yet, be sure to pass this post along to them).

1. Flowers--by far the most given gift on Mother's Day is flowers. There's a reason for that; they are easy to order and women love them. Here is a link to my favorite place to order flowers. You can order a bouquet for as little as $19.99 with free delivery. Just choose one and go to town, guys!

2. E-cards--my suggestion, if you decide to send your mom or wife an e-card, is that you don't consider it to be their actual Mother's Day gift, but that's just me. Sending an e-card is a great way to say "I Love You," often without spending a dime. This link is to a site I used yesterday for my sister's birthday card. Take a little time and find a special card you know the one you love will appreciate.

3. Spa Treatment--As a female I can attest to the fact that a smart gift for the woman in your life is a spa treatment. And no, this gift of relaxation and beauty is no longer reserved for the well-to-do. For instance, you can buy a half-hour massage for as little as $25. Just go to your local yellow pages, look up "spa" and order a gift card from the salon/spa of your choice for the amount you want to spend. Pamper your mom or wife this year by giving her the gift of pampering herself.

4. Department store gift cards--It's a fact of nature that women love to shop, so give your loved one the ability to splurge on herself this Mother's Day by buying her a gift card to her favorite department store. You can order a discounted gift card from department stores such as Macy's, Nordstrom's, Target, Walmart, Nieman Marcus, and many others at Mercardi.com and have it in time for Mother's Day, IF YOU ORDER NOW!

5. Lunch or Dinner Out--I don't know of a woman who doesn't love to go out to eat. Splurge on Mother's Day and take your mom or wife to Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Chili's, Applebee's, or one of dozens of other restaurants which MERCARDI.COM sells discounted gift cards to. (and make sure and spring for dessert!)

Of course there are plenty of other gift ideas for Mother's Day, these are just the top 5 I know for sure your mom or wife will love. The most important thing is just to not forget to express your love on Mother's Day!

(And never forget to CALL!)
