With Mother’s Day fast approaching it’s time for all us children to think about what our mum’s would like as a little gift.
Unfortunately for me my mum is no longer with us, so it’s something I don’t have to worry about, but I have 2 children of my own and they always get me a little gift. 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 make any difference if it’s cheap or expensive, just so long as it’s in a style that I like. To me a little ring from one of the shops on the High Street is just as precious as an expensive jewellery shop, because it’s the fact that they have taken the time out to go and buy me something.
Funnily enough last year they both gave me silver earrings. For children they have fairly good taste in women’s jewellery, definitely something that has rubbed off from me.
Unfortunately this didn’t rub off for their dad’s presents last year on Father’s Day. They both chose men’s jewellery for him, and in all honesty neither piece was something my husband would wear. Never mind, perhaps this year they might get him a set of screwdrivers – that would certainly keep him happy. Better still would be something to do with his much loved golf clubs. I have never met anybody so keen on a 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. Although the children may stretch their pocket money to buying me a present, hubby is the one who cooks the breakfast as there is no way the children would be let loose in my kitchen.
