Thoughtful Gift Ideas for
Your Mom under $25
May 11, 2014
A night at the movies: Has it been a long time since your
mom sat down and watched a really good chick-flick? Or
even a thriller? Create a movie night basket for your
mom. You can include a good DVD you can purchase from
Amazon for under $10 or get her a one-month Netflix
subscription for $7.99, include a box of microwavable
popcorn that costs under $4 and her favorite wine for
under $10. Package it up nicely in a gift bag or a small
basket and include your own homemade card. The key is
to personalize every detail to her taste.
A fitness fun day: Your mom might have been saying
that she wants to get in shape in passing conversation,
but she probably also mentioned that she didn’t have the
time to do it. Put a fun fitness gift bag together for her to
enjoy on her time off. If she likes yoga, include a nice DVD
you can find for under $10, a yoga mat for under $10 and
a water bottle for her to hydrate during her workout for
under $5. No more excuses for mom and she will be
grateful that you actually listened to her when she was
talking and got something that she needed.
And don’t forget to tell her you love her!
Fireworks, picnics, cookouts. The smell of hot
dogs cooking on the grill in a yard smelling of freshly
cut grass will be filling the air on May 26th. These are
common representations of Memorial Day for
Americans everywhere. It’s a time of celebration.
But that is not all the day is about. It’s really
about paying our respect for the men and women
who keep us safe and fight for our honor. Many of
them are our customers. How awesome is that?
Appreciate them for all that they are – OUR
CUSTOMERS, OUR BRAVE DEFENDERS.
So enjoy your Memorial Day in the spirit of
what it’s really about this year.
