With Mother’s Day just around the corner, it’s time for all the children to take a minute out and think about what to buy their mum.
Sadly for me my mum is longer with us, so personally it’s not something I have to think about, but I have 2 kids of my own and they always splash their cash on a little present for me. I also have to keep a look out for something for my Mother In Law as my other half doesn’t have a clue and would end up giving her a bunch of daffodils from the local garage if I left it up to him!!
From a personal point of view I’m especially keen on silver rings and have quite a large collection. It doesn’t have to cost a fortune, just be in a style that I like. I am more than happy with a little ring from one of the High Street shops because to me it’s not about how much was spent, but the fact that they actually took the time to get me something.
Funnily enough last year they both gave me silver earrings. For kids they do have pretty good taste in ladies jewellery, so something good must have rubbed off from me.
The same can’t be said for the presents they got for their dad on Father’s Day last year. They both chose men’s jewellery for him, and in all honesty neither piece was something my husband would wear.This year they are thinking of getting him some tools to use around the home, that would certainly keep him out of mischief. Better still would be something to do with his much loved golf clubs. I have never met anyone who is so keen on their sport. My other half is out playing golf in all weathers, in fact the only time he doesn’t go out is when it is thunder and lightning and the golf course is shut.
Having said all that, I had better ensure he hasn’t gone and booked any golf on Mother’s Day. The kids may stretch to getting me a present, but hubby is the one who makes sure I get a cooked breakfast, no way would I let the kids loose in the kitchen.
