There is a woman. She is your role model, your best friend and most ardent cheerleader. She brings your soup when you are ill, and when you fall, there her hand is. She works hard so you can live your best life. She’s your Lorelai Gilmore. So, once a year, you shower her a little more love and gifts than the other 364 days. It is Mother’s Day. It is her day. May 14 (Sunday) this year is no exception. The question is: What can you possibly get her this year that would trump last year’s gift? It’s the same conundrum over and over, and it only gets harder. Don’t fret. You can do these things to secure mum’s financial future, or buy her a good old-fashioned gift. We did a spot of shopping ourselves, and found a few things you might find suitable. More importantly, when you buy this special purchase, you will also be saving. Surely, that will make mum super proud.
