Mother's Day is approaching (May 10th, for those that aren't sure) and COVID-19 certainly changed the way we approach this special day, however, moms everywhere are still hoping for some very easy-to-give, inexpensive, yet rarely given gifts. Sure, a necklace, flowers, or a bag might be nice, but deep down what most moms wish for is more time, a break from a mundane task, or some time for themselves. Plus, keep reading for a list of local businesses that are offering delivery, curbside pick-up and other special offers for Mother's Day.
Easy, Inexpensive Gift Ideas:
- A long, hot, uninterrupted shower
- A sink clear of all dirty dishes
- Clean, folded and put away laundry
- Time to drink a hot cup of coffee or tea
- For things that get knocked over or dropped to be picked up
- A Zoom or Facetime wine night with friends, without the kids
- An hour to watch a show from start to finish without having to pause or rewind
- One morning to sleep in
- An hour of quiet to read a book, journal, meditate or do yoga
- A clean car (inside and out)
- Privacy when using the bathroom
- A nap
- A family "porchrait" with everyone smiling - CHF Photography is offering Mother's Day "Porchrait" sessions on May 3
