Mothers’ Day Gifts

Mothers’ Day is rapidly approaching, and this year I have decided against the gifts I usually give. Not that there is anything illicitly wrong with giving a picture of me in a frame dusted with glitter and sequins, but I have decided to be a bit more original, and practical. Because really, you can only have so many macaroni necklaces and hand-sculpted ashtrays.

While flipping through a series of online catalogs, I came across Miles Kimball. And I thought to myself, JACKPOT!!

Here are a few ideas that are in the running for a perfect Mother’s Day gift:

White yard geese that my mom can dress in a variety of ways, depending on her mood, or the seasons.

Rock-a-billy geese:

Christmas present geese:

Yard gnome geese:

Magnifying Makeup Specs:

No more squinting and straining to see if you’re applying your makeup accurately. Metal framed specs have hinged lenses that flip up and down. Have a clear, 3.0x magnified view with one eye, as you make up the other eye. In a satin pouch.

…and my personal favorite:

Super Kegel™ Exerciser

Regular exercise with the Super Kegel™ helps tone and strengthen pelvic floor muscles as it helps slim and tighten thighs, buttocks, and lower abdominal muscles. Steel exerciser has a padded vinyl cover. Includes a 9-page booklet and detailed exercise chart. Effective for men and women.

Happy Mothers’ Day Mom!
