Bathing Beauties
Waiting until the last minute to find something for Mom? Try getting creative on your next trip to Costco. A canvas bag full of luxurious, scented bath products will encourage Mom to pamper herself on more days than one. Look for bath salts, body lotions, exfoliants, sweet smelling soaps, and of course, chocolates.
Fresh Flowers
Gardens are abloom during the month of May, so take advantage of yours and bring Mom bouquets of freshly picked flowers, one for each room in the house. My Mom will be getting fragrant roses for the bedroom, blushing lilacs to brighten her office, and eatable nasturtiums to put in the kitchen.
Breakfast in Bed
Remember when you were little and surprised Mom with breakfast in bed? This year, try to make Mom’s morning especially bright with homemade crepes, fresh fruit, and an assortment of imported teas. After the kids are whisked off to grandma’s, take Mom out for a hike, visit her favorite museum, or go see a play.
