Belated Gift for Mother’s Day
I’ve gone and forgotten Mother’s Day completely, and now remembering it a month later there is no hope for redemption! My mother has a birthday coming up soon, luckily, so I am going to get her something nice, a sort of combined Mother’s day and birthday gift.
Now we all know grandparents who whip out a wallet or even a photo album at the least provocation and proceed to show even strangers their beloved offspring’s even more beloved offspring, so it goes without saying that anything that features grandkids photos is bound to be a big hit. So this picture tote here, would be an excellent idea in my view. Available in black, khaki or red, it made from cotton canvas with leather trim and has three built-in, round photo frames. Then you can get a few pics developed; the kind she will enjoy, (get a whole bunch done, so that she can change them as and when she wants) and you have a really memorable gift!
I am wondering about the wisdom of getting a blanket for Mom in the middle of summer, but a personalized blanket, I think she would enjoy! For $46 I can have it personalized with her name; choosing to have it done in block or script and choosing between royal blue, navy or green.
Now one thing that I have been meaning to get Mom for a while now, and this is something she really needs and stubbornly refuses to get for herself, is a blood pressure monitor. I could get her one of these old fashioned type blood pressure monitor kits that also features a stethoscope and everything: I thought it was a good deal for $109, but then I thought she is never going to use something that seems so complicated.
I would be better advised to get one of those digital thingies that you strap onto your wrist such as this one for just $39.88, but then a friend told me that they aren’t the most accurate of monitors. Anyone out there have any experience of these? Would appreciate some feedback.
As for what I ultimately decide to get her, the safest bet would be to just ask her, as I now know from some past experiences.
Gosh, shouldn’t we be thinking about Father’s Day now?

@Charles thanks for the reminder. I totally missed Mother’s day. I am such a terrible son. I don’t think mom would have appreciated a blood pressure tester as a gift though….perhaps something more along the lines of flowers.
