If you’re running behind time and the easiest way out is to buy Mom a gift – from your child – choose from the ideas below.

Scarves –

These are a versatile piece of clothing that complements any look as formal as a suit or as casual as a spring dress. Chiffon scarves with paisley prints are a favorite with almost all women and are a safe bet to buy! Alternately, you can go for textured silk scarves in bright hues if you’re not sure if Mom loves prints.

Notepads –

These are an essential must-have for any busy Mom. Even in the era of smart phones and tablets, a good old notepad with a smooth pen is a savior to Moms who need to write down just some of the zillion things that run in their heads. Look for specially made or custom notebook options with designs that fit Mom’s unique style.

Buy a few packs of aromatic candles for your child to gift Mom on Mother’s Day. There are plenty of options to choose from today. However, that the best gift you can give Mom is that of lots of time, love and attention. Go ahead and pamper her. She’ll love it!
