Giving on Mother's Day
We appreciate our mother, and that's why we celebrate Mother's Day. Mothers are heroes, honestly. They play the roles of a wife, a mother and a woman at the same time each day. Motherly love and nurture mean everything to a child. As I see myself growing every inch, I can reflect on the perseverance, hard work, passion and patience that my mom portrayed. The joyous smile on her face is nothing compared to her. Sometimes, we may think they had not fulfilled their responsibility enough in our young days but isn't this the time to forgive them and start a new day with them?
They are humans as well, and we should think from their perspectives in some situations. Mother's Day is not about gifts or food or any material stuff in this world. It's about how appreciative we are of them and how we could repay their care and love from the bottom of our hearts. Not by money or items but by our will and sacrifice. What all mothers hope for their children is that they could grow up healthy and be successful in every aspect of life. Shouldn't we provide them with a better life and meet their needs?
Their years of sacrifices are countless and serving them in return would indeed put a smile on their faces and on yours too. I know people would say they're still schooling or they couldn't afford to give gifts but you know you could give your time to your mom or wish your mom a 'Happy Mother's Day! I love you, mom', give her a hug and kiss or spending your day with her on her hobby or a walk or a chit-chat could build a legacy of love for your mom, and I'm sure she will remember that special day forever.
However, if you love to give something to your mom on her honouring day, a few suggestions below could help with your shopping this month! All mothers out there deserve stylish yet feminine items on their special day.
#1 Scarfs
Scarfs are a classic yet affordable gift to present. All you have to do is to take some time to know your mom's favourite designs and colours and you're on your way to choosing the perfect scarf! I prefer to buy something useful rather than buying things that are kept in the drawer, forever. So, scarves are a brilliant choice as they can be worn in cold weather or as an accessory to complete a style or look. The three scarfs are my top favourite and maybe would be your next favourite?
#2 Shades
Ray-Ban acetate sunglasses
If your mom is not a fan of scarves, sunglasses is another perfect option. The price of the right shades is pretty high and if you'd saved up enough money for a gift to your mom, why not get this baby right away? Ray-Ban has high-quality shades and it's comfortable to put on plus UV protection. Just make sure you get the right shades according to your mom's face shape.
#3 Lipstick / Gloss
Who doesn't like lipstick? All women are in need of those. Gloss could be cheaper than lipstick depending on brand as lipstick could last longer than gloss. If your budget is enough for a gloss, go for it. Your mom will love it. Chanel and MAC lipsticks are great as well. Remember to choose the right colour tone!
#4 Perfume

We all want to spray some scent on our first date or our first interview, don't we? May not be but perfume can be a great gift for a mom. Whether you want to give a big or small bottle, as long as you're sincere in giving, that's more important. I chose all pink as pink does give a sense of softness and love. Versace and Lancomé have a light and feminine scent which suits any mom. Tighter budget, you could go for Victoria's Secret which is one of my favourites as well!
#5 Bag /Casing

Handbag, shopping bag, outing bag or cosmetic bag or casing or whichever doesn't matter. As long as you know your mom's needs or favourites, you wouldn't go wrong. But do consider your budget and decide which is best. I chose black bags because they're a classic piece which matches whichever colour that any mom is wearing. It pulls off easily with any colour. Plus, if handbags are not on your list, why not go for a cute phone casing or laptop or iPad casing? If your mom needs one, get one for them!;)
Last but not least, if you're not in time to buy a gift, why not create or draw a card from DIY materials or design through the computer? Your initiative makes a difference! Posting cards are getting little and little every day but they mean a lot to a person, and honestly, I'm overjoyed when I receive a card as it reminds me that I'm still important to them in their hearts.
If Mother's Day celebration in your country had passed, you could always do this for her birthday or if it is too late, why not start next year? Hope you make a difference for your mom this year and Happy Mother's Day to all mothers! I love you, mommy x
