SPRING! MAY! and your Mom.

Ah, May, Yes, spring is here. That terrible long winter is finally over. Look at those lovely springs. (sorry for the bad pun) Welcome May, welcome spring and of course, there is always a silly Holiday to celebrate. This spring holiday may be the only silly holiday that deserves to actually be a holiday, this of course is mother's day. (which is May 11th for all of you that weren't already reminded by your own gift-expecting mother's)

Your mother should always be the most important woman in your life. Not only for the obvious reasons that I will bore you by mentioning, but for other reasons to like, perhaps being that cool hippie chick back in the day before she had you. Maybe for more suitable things like, knowing how to dress you well growing up. Or paying for you spring break a couple weeks ago.

Whatever the reason, it's a good day, (if not everyday) to give back to her, and show her that you love her. Try to be a little more creative this year in buying her a gift. Give it some thought, think back deeper into what she actually likes. Sure, all mothers like a nice bouquet in a vase or a pretty card that has your crayon scribbles and I love yous. But maybe she missed a Rolling Stones concert back in the day when she found out she was prego with you. More than likely, she was born during the time of vinyl records, go out and buy her a player with a couple choice LP's from when she was your age. Bring her back, make her feel young again, it will pay off all year.

But if you must be lame and buy her something a little cliche and mushy like you do, there is a company called Willow Tree (www.willowtree.info) that makes cute little mother and son/daughter type knick-knacks that mom will die for. They also have many other things such as angels and what not.

Also, my mother actually owns a company that makes completely custom gift baskets for any occasion called Baskets For No Reason (www.myspace.com/basketsfornoreaon) Being a mother herself, she can whip-up something your mother would love and love all year.

So welcome spring, welcome the nice weather and bring it in with a good mother's day for momsy.

Cheers'
