There are so many mothers these days. Between moms, grandmoms, stepmoms, stepgrandmoms, moms-in-law, step moms-in-law, surrogate moms, egg donors moms, birth moms, and Heather has two moms, it’s time to start shopping. It is under two weeks away and if your mother is out of town quickly get to the Internet and save.
ProFlowers has these beautiful lilies and irises in a keepsake vase for $19.99 or a dozen assorted roses at the same price. A great option when you are out of ideas and mom has too much stuff anyway.
Check my post about magazine subscriptions or get her a museum membership for ideas that last all year long.
Make a donation in Mom’s name to her favorite charity.
Maybe Mom would like a night out, buy a gift card to the movie theater near her home or tickets from Goldstar.
Try Target for a special Mother’s Day CD . It makes a sweet gift paired with some Burt’s Bees products.
Amazon is still the easiest with the most variety and mostly free shipping if you order over $25.00. They even have a page set up with Mother’s Day suggestions and sales.

We carry them and they carry us through a day’s work, evening out, marketing, and trips to the gym. Our purses need to have everything from bandages for that occasional blister, lip gloss, all manners of ID, a little cash and some change for the parking meter, hair brush, sun block, keys, phone and phone accessories, coupons (of course), maybe a laptop or iPad, extra pantyhose, and various unmentionables. The Frugal Diva watches with envy as The Frugal Dude grabs his wallet and keys to brave the world for an entire day.
Where do we get these fabulous bags and how do we get them at the best price?
