My Top 5 Mother’s Day Picks

Every day is truly Mother’s Day right?  Each day I spend as a mommy is more rewarding than the last, and I’m sure that moms feel the same way across the board.  However, it seems there is this day coming up this weekend…something about Moms, a day, kids, and um…oh yeah!  PRESENTS!  Ha hah!  No matter what you think, presents are typically a part of a Mother’s Day Celebration.  Since I’m not hiding the fact that I kinda like presents, I give you my top 5 Mother’s Day Picks!

#5)  A LITTLE PAMPERING — I love to be pampered and I (clearly) have a penchant for beauty products.  If you want to give mom a little of the pampering treatment without sending her to an expensive salon or spa, try some of these at home options!  All of these can be purchased for a very reasonable price, and are sure to make mom swoon!  I love the Sephora Manicure Set, the Clairins Self-Tanning Kit, and the Tropical Jasmine Body product collection!

#4) ORGANIZATION — This January I got my very first momAgenda and I LOVE it.  I can’t even fully express the love that I feel for it, actually.  I was always one of those chicks who would buy day planners and organizers but they never quite seemed to “fit” me.  The momAgenda is perfect, and really fits my needs as a busy mom.  I truly use mine everyday, and it has seperate spaces to keep myself, my daughter, and the rest of my family organized.

#3) A DIGITAL SLR — I am a picture nut, freak, etc.  I took over 10,000 pictures in the first month of Little AG’s life alone.  I have had many point and shoots, and I am finally ready (desperate?) to upgrade to a digital SLR.  I asked around to some of my photography-saavy friends, and they recommended that I get the Nikon D40 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera ($415) or the Canon Digital Rebel Digital SLR Camera ($699.95) to start out with.  If you have a preference or have tried one of these, please let me know!

#2)  ALL THAT GLITTERS — Give mom a piece of jewelry, seriously, you know we like the stuff!  Generally, something that sparkles or is shiny will make us beam with happiness.  Ever thought about giving mom something in that “Little Blue Box“?

#1)  NINTENDO DS — I’m in love with this new Nintendo DS Lite Bundle, which was aptly released in Green for spring, just in time for Mother’s Day!  It comes with the most adorable carrying case and a copy of Personal Trainer: Cooking. And yes, I totally need a personal cooking coach.  Remember, I never claimed to be domestic.  The DS is great to slip in your purse and play if you’re sitting at a doctor’s office, standing in line at the store, etc. and would be a welcome distraction for any busy mom because it’s so easy just to spend a few minutes playing!  My #1 pick for a Mother’s Day Gift!
