Countdown to Mother’s Day!

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

Well there are a few holidays in between now and May–St. Patrick’s Day and Easter– but Mother’s Day is the big magilla, second only to Christmas.  Do you know what your mother will be receiving from you this year? Not likely you’ve given it much thought. But in the economy we are now facing, when every dollar spent is being scrutinized, doesn’t it make sense to give gifts that really make a difference?  Does she need another bouquet of flowers (uninspired at best)?

This year how about giving her her own words? Recently, a client selected a phrase for her mother- in- law’s pillow: “That’s not so ay-yi-yi, if you know what I mean.” It turns out that HER mother said the phrase and it has become a kind of family motto.  She cried when she opened the gift.

Whatever makes them laugh or cry…that should be on a pillow!

Recent orders: 

“You know what?” A phrase used FREQUENTLY by the client’s three-year-old grandson.

  Swell Dame   A fiftieth birthday surprise for a woman who calls herself a swell dame, from her husband.

“YES WE CAN.” on one side, “YES WE WILL.” on the other side to honor the first 100 days of Barack Obama’s presidency.
