What I Really Want for Mother's Day...

Here is a little guide to help my husband find something for Mother's Day on May 11th. If you are having trouble finding the right gift, this guide has some useful suggestions.

This One's for You Honey....

I’m married to the best guy ever. Well, I do have one complaint. He seems to be lacking in one area…the area of gift giving. The first gift he ever bought me was a pair of fake leather boots with fake fur. They were two sizes too small. I returned them. Next was fireplace tools for a fireplace in my rental house that I never used. I returned them. A few CDs to heavy metal bands that I never heard of. I returned them. The sweater made from 100% polyester that was too big? I returned it. Oh yeah and then I received a little silver flask on black string. I think it was his offering of jewelry (not sure if it was suppose to be a necklace or a lasso)....well at any rate, I decided to make this guide so my husband won’t be confused this year.

I am not really too picky but I would settle for a manicure, pedicure or a spa treatment from Renaissance. Oh yeah, I will need you to watch the kids all day too….

Fathers, take heart, your day is coming. You can be sure of getting at least one thing – the bills from Mother’s Day.

Just a little bag to hold all of my stuff…

Timbuk2 Bags

I love these bags…they have great colors, lots of little pockets and did I mention they have great colors? I will probably spend less money because I will be so organized.

The last time I received flowers was the bouquet from our wedding (that was more than 12 years ago). It really doesn’t count when you have our daughters give me dandelions so be a sweetie and get me some Gerber Daisies.

Send Flowers not Chinese Food

Remember Mother’s Day is on May 11th (yes it is a Sunday so if you are ordering flowers don’t wait until the actual day)...

Supper Club Inc

2216 Kearney Street, Denver, CO 80207

If I never have to cook again I would not be sad. So 12 entree package from Supper Club (of course you need to do the assembly so I won’t mess up my nails) would be a really nice and thoughtful gift.

I’m not going to settle for any chocolates (too many calories) but I will definitely be happy with Neuhaus chocolates from Belgium. Oh look, they ship from the US now!
