I'm cheap I admit it. It's partly because I'm craft wise and want to make things of better quality than I see in the stores. Also because I can't stand to see people who shop as a pastime when they don't need anything. I hate materialistic people who buy designer purses and clothes, expensive jewelry, fake nails and hair extensions, ............ such a waste of money. Women can be pretty and happy without this over priced crap. I'm a sales shopper and I buy quality things but not designer s_ _ _. Any way I saw this commercial where the women says "What gift should I get my Mom on Mothers' Day? She has everything and says she doesn't want anything?" Then she proceeds to shop anyway. Hmmmmm..........how about doing what she asks. STOP THE SHOPPING LADIES ! If your Mom truly is loaded with all the comforts of style and home then skip the boring Mother's day gift and find another way to celebrate with her. Try just spending time with her, take her to lunch, have her over for a meal and relaxation, go to a chic flick together, a concert, a play ...........you get my point. Mom will remember the fun and laughter you share way more than one more duplicate standard"Mother's day gift" item to put in the closet or jewelry box.
If after all my rambling you still have to buy Mom a gift .....here's one she'll always remember!

We've got some interesting Mother's Day options, too if you'd like to take a look at our blog.
Also, use coupon code ALZ4 at 1-800 Flowers for 10% off through Mother's Day!
You're right moms don't need more "things."
I'm asking women to vote for political change for Mother's Day.
How bout 12 weeks of paid maternity leave that will be there when our daughters start having babies? How bout flexible work hours and telecommuting to provide kids more face time with mom?
How about health insurance that isn't tied to my husband's job, leaving me and my kids vulnerable if he should leave or die?
That's what I need for Mother's Day.
If you must "buy" something for me I want a cool shirt from momsrising that illustrates my desire for this society to start respecting mother's contributions in a real tangible kind of way. My favorite is the one that says Changing more than Diapers.
