Answer: Actually, I’d suggest from experience that you’re right to have a healthy (if small) concern about this.

I’d wished I’d seen this helpful three-minute safety video:

Question: I’m looking for any “creative” or “unique” mother’s day gift ideas?

Flowers, candy, teddy bear, card, money all seem too….typical.

I’m looking for something DIFFERENT. We’ve done the handmade stuff, taking out to eat, and spa. I was about to rsvp a trip for two to Catalina Island (I’m in CA), which she was so excited for, but dad gets sea sick and doesn’t want mom to go anywhere without him….for certain medical reasons. So she’s bumbed about that.

Anyways, I have about $250 that I’m willing to spend. My last resort choices are treating everyone (all 8 of us) out to eat at a nice restaurant or getting her a little coach purse with some items in it.

Just thought I would post to see if anyone had any GREAT ideas, besides the typical…

Answer: You can get some great personalized jewelry. With the families birthstones or they have charm bracelets that you can customize with charms that relate to her personality or your relationship with her or even photo charms. Hope I helped.
