My Top 5 Mother’s Day Picks

26 Comments 08 May 2009

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!

  1. Great gift list,i’ll probably end up with oversized slippers again LOL but i wouldnt change my kids for the world :)

  2. Maureen says:

    Wow, I could use one of those Canon or NIkon camera’s too take pictures of the kiddos in the Little Sprouts Bounce House if we win it.. That would be great.. Thanks!

  3. Tammy says:

    I love your choices expecially the camera. Yea, that’s for me. I love my digital camera but I would love to have one with a little more options and not have to take my big ole 35mm camera around.

  4. Stefanie Hartman says:

    You know what I want for Mother’s Day!! Great list.!

  5. Tina says:

    love the Tiffany & Co. Heart Key charm!

  6. AutumH says:

    I could definitely use a Mom Agenda, very unorganized person that I am. And even though it’s past mothers day, I definitely need to find an excuse to grab one for myself. I’m sure being a total scatterbrain will be mor than enough reason for my husband to tell me that yes it’s ok to grab myself one. Make his life and mine a lot easier.

  7. I love the Tiffany key pendant. So cute!

  8. Betty says:

    Past mothers day but I love your choices. The spring green DS is definitely calling out to me. If I’d been more timely keeping up with your posts, this would of been a super hint thread to pass on to hubby.

  9. Aura H. says:

    Good choices- the mom agenda and canon rebel were both on my wishlist!

  10. Naddez says:

    I didn’t have a Top 5 list on this year for Mother’s Day, however, I will on next year. You have really good choices, especially, that beautiful Tiffany & Co. Mom Heart Tag Pendant.

  11. Amy B. says:

    Those are really good choices. The camera would be something I would like to own.

  12. Tamara B. says:

    Excellent choices!

  13. dreamer says:

    I totally want a DSLR too. My son moves too much for the slower regular cameras!

  14. Ann G. says:

    I’m loving the heart key charm, not sure if I can afford this but hey, nothing wrong with dreaming about it.

  15. gillian says:

    I would love to have all of them!!! i do have the cannon slr and I LOVE IT!!!

  16. rachel0 says:

    These would be some great gifts to get–just as side of course to the big main gift of abeautiful toddler painted ceramic of course!

  17. Huguette E. says:

    Good picks, especially the jewerly.

  18. Betty N says:

    Good picks! I still enjoy the flowers my kids/grandkids send, also.

  19. Amanda says:

    I love that Tiffany necklace! I haven’t seen that yet.. how much?? :)

  20. ShaRhonda says:

    Great ideas-I am so looking into the MomAgenda!

  21. Leane says:

    I would really love to have a MomAgenda! I have heard of them around the Blogosphere for a couple years now and I am jealous. I usually rely on a planner, but this year money was really tight and I never really find one that totally ‘works’ anyways so I didn’t splurge for one. I have been keeping info on notebook paper. Let me tell you, it doesn’t work!!

    Have a great mother’s day, these were great finds!!
    Thanks.

  22. Elisa says:

    Ah, great minds think alike – I have listed the same necklaces from Tiffany’s in my Mother’s Day post! Plus the I Love You heart pendant, I like that one too. If I don’t get it for Mother’s Day, I’m going to present to my husband again as an anniversary gift, next month ;-)

  23. ClassyMommy says:

    Super picks! I love the Mom Agenda. What I want most is more time…but somehow that is not likely to happen! I’m also crazy for my iPhone and/or an iPhone Touch. So much fun for moms and they entertain the kids too! Happy Mother’s Day!

  24. Nina says:

    Hi, it’s Nina founder of momAgenda, thanks for the great plug! We are honored to have you as a fan!!
