Atypical Mother's Day 2010 Gifts

Om nom nom...cookie cake...nom nom...

ANYWAY...

Flowers, jewelry, sappy cards…these are the things we've been trained to associate with Mother's Day thanks to Hallmark and Teleflora commercials. When you think about your mom though, I mean really think about who she is as a person, are flowers and jewelry really the kinds of things she wants?

This Mother's Day, take some time to think about what your mom would really like as a gift, maybe something a little out of the ordinary…

Techie Mom

My mother needs me to change her Facebook profile picture, but I'm sure there are many moms out there who are a bit more tech savvy. If you're mom falls into the that tech savvy category, hook her up with a new gadget for Mother's Day. How about an Amazon Kindle or an iPod nano? Coupons aren't abundant for either of these items, so if you're looking to spend a little bit extra on your mom this year, they might be good options for you.

No matter what you end up giving your mom this Mother's Day, she'll love it...as long as you don't give her a new frying pan or vacuum cleaner.
