The Chronic Consumer

So Mother’s Day is tomorrow, which means there’s not a whole lot of time to buy something for Mom if you haven’t done so already. Fortunately, stores are open for their regular hours tomorrow, so even if you can’t find a gift tonight, you’ll have some time tomorrow. Hey, it’s not like Christmas morning when you have to have the presents ready first thing, right?

If you’re stuck on what to get Mom, just remember that it’s the thought that counts. I’m sure she won’t care what the present is, as long as it comes with love from you. So a nice floral arrangement or bouquet would be much appreciated, and so would a bottle of Mom’s favorite perfume. Jewelry is always a hit, too, so why not splurge a little and buy Mom that beautiful diamond necklace she has always wanted?

Sure, these gift ideas aren’t exactly original, but they’re perfect for last-minute shoppers that are scrambling to come up with something for Mother’s Day.

No matter what you get, I’m sure your mother will appreciate the sentiment. Except for maybe French maid costumes! There’s a time and a place for those, but I’m afraid this isn’t it!
