Busy, busy, busy. When isn't a mother racing around? Give
her a gift she'll really thank you for: a weekend at the spa.
She'll get pampered from every angle. Whether it's a great
massage or an hours-long soak in a tub, or just a mud-mask
facial, she'll come home rejuvenated.
Keep the pleasure going permanently by buying her an electronic
foot massager. These devices look like a weighing scale. But
far from bringing on the guilt, they melt away the tension.
Ten minutes with one of these and she'll be ready to say yes
to whatever you didn't dare ask her earlier.
Still, life isn't all worry and stress, even for moms. A day
on the golf course with her new clubs will keep her in trim
and competitive with dad. Contemporary designs feature composites
that would have been top secret in Jack Nicklaus' heyday. They
can provide the kind of flex that makes a 200-yard shot nearly
as easy as that 20-foot putt.
Jewelry is always a great favorite. But go the extra step
and personalize it. Even if it's diamond earrings or the perfect
pearl necklace, the gift can still bear a unique stamp. Her
initials on either side of the necklace chain can do the trick.
Or the earrings can be a design that is duplicated nowhere
else.
Women love chocolate. If men don't know that by now, they've
been spending too much time in the cave and not enough online
reading gift suggestions. But don't settle for that boring
box of random goo. Go for something exotic. Try a special thin
Lindt Swiss slab. Or, go all out for something made just for
her inscribed with a line of poetry that you memorized when
you met.
Flowers are wonderful, but they don't last. Instead, think
about a beautiful bonsai that will flower repeatedly year after
year. Incorporate a tiny self-watering system. It adds little
to the cost and make maintenance a matter of seconds per month
rather than a daily chore.
Does that special woman in your life love wine? Take it a
step beyond the special vintage you had in mind. Get a subscription
to a Wine of the Month club and you'll get an ever changing
selection from around the world. One month it may be a super
Sake from Japan, the next a great Gewürztraminer from
Germany. The month after that an awesome Australian Syrah will
arrive in the mail.
What mom couldn't use more shoes? But buying shoes for women
is a very tricky business whether the shopper is dad, son or
daughter. If you haven't heard her mention that unique pair
down at the mall, better go virtual. Online shoe shopping can
now fit her foot better than a careless salesperson. Templates
allow her to tailor the fit to her individual foot and the
selection is unbounded.
No matter what that special woman in your life is looking
for you can find it with a little diligence. Remember, what
they want most is to know that you cared enough to search for
just the right thing. Now, if you could only figure out what
that is...
Still stumped? Framed
art, Rock
n Roll T-Shirts & apparel, 2008
calendars, magnets, canvas
art, wall
tapestries, and stand-ups are
all great, fun and unique Christmas gift ideas.
