Gift Blogging

I am always on the hunt for the perfect gift because, honestly the older you get the more people you know and the larger your family gets so it is always somebody's birthday or a holiday rolling around. Living in rural town and depending solely on the Internet for purchasing it takes advance planning.  But, that's where the fun comes in searching the Internet for new ideas and the perfect gift.  So what's coming up Mothers Day of course! And if your like me and have to shop for your mother in law then notch the stress up for that gift a smidge.  Easter, but I have already have that covered after 13 years of playing Easter bunny I think I finally have the "perfect" Easter basket down. Maybe a blog about that to come.  And two toddler birthdays coming up.....so lots of planning and shopping in the next months for me. Any suggestions are welcome, send them my way and I will check it out.

So last night I was googling "Top Ten Mothers Day Gifts" and seriously was laughing at the majority of the items on the lists.  Some of these sights were created just for men to make shopping easier and just had it wrong.  Okay, let me back up they had a few basic suggestions but nothing that would wow or have real meaning to a wife or a mother.  On one list they had a blender, now I love to cook so if my husband and kids want to get me a new Kitchen Aid mixer or set of Le Creuset pans I am all in!  But, just a blender?  Really? Possibly if your wide or mother is REALLY needing one but, gifts should be so much more and mean so much more. And I am all about quality items, yes they usually cost more but, if you are actually going to use it then spending more money is a good thing. And flowers, if your just gonna send flowers there is a whole science to ordering flowers on FTD if you really want to make an impression. Maybe I can blog a few helpful hints when ordering flowers and actually getting what you pay for.

So here starts my blog, a way for me to keep track of great purchases and gifts.  I make lists so that if I am off my gift mojo or no time to research I can check it out for a quick reference.  So many purchases to blog, so many more gifts to buy!  And in this economy any gift needs to be the perfect gift, no room for wasting money.
