Not to pressure you… but DON’T FAIL this Mother’s Day!
How do you not fail? Make it meaningful. While flowers are nice, they aren’t exactly the most thoughtful gift. However, chocolate, jewelry and cards are more meaningful than you might think… here is why they make the better gift.

Why Chocolate, Jewelry and Cards are Meaningful on Mother’s Day
Why Chocolate?
Chocolate has endorphins. Many women eat chocolate everyday, because it makes them happy! I prefer dark chocolate, while I know others who prefer white or milk. I found an awesome selection at berries.com – there is so much to choose from! Plain rich chocolate, chocolate with toffee, crunchies or filled with caramel! Oh, what about the luxurious chocolate covered strawberry? These can be romantic too! And guess what? I’ve got a Coupon Code for you!
Make it meaningful: Skip the standard boxes at the grocery store. Instead pick out a unique platter of chocolate, cookies, cakes and more from dedicated store like Shari’s Berries!
Why Jewelry?
Long lasting, meaningful and special. You can create unique jewelry, buy handmade jewelry or snag that piece she has been eyeing in the jewelry store window. Find something to match her tastes, each women has them… white or yellow gold? Pearls or diamonds? Extravagant or simple? Check out my accessories section for some great ideas for jewelry.
Make it meaningful: Get her kids names engraved on a necklace. Make a ring with all of her grandchildren’s birthstones. Create a charm bracelet with beads of all her favorite hobbies! There are a ton of options for making jewelry meaningful!
Why a Card?
You might be thinking, I always give her a card. Well, then keep it up! Moms always enjoy reading about how much you love and appreciate her! But maybe this year take it a step further and really put your personal touch into it.
Make it meaningful: Add a special story from the past that showed how much she cared, something that makes her a great mom. Sit down, without interruption and write a paragraph or two telling her just how much she means to you and the family. Beware: tears!
