Thanks
to everyone that weighed in here about what would make a good mother's day gift
for the wife. Since I still haven't gotten anything, I thought I'd keep asking.
Lots of
options out there, of course, including this one that Redsy mentioned. Here are a couple of others:
One that I stumbled onto was CowParade, which sells penguin-themed
merchandise. HA! Gotcha! It's all cows. (Fooled you, didn't I? Yes, I need a
nap.)
Anyway,
they're selling special Mother's Day Figurines that look kind of cute. One
problem -- buying a woman anything associated with cows, unless you live on a
dairy farm, is probably a bad idea. (In fact, even if you live on a dairy farm
it's probably a bad idea.) I'm going to nix this one right off the bat.
A
couple of commenters suggested etsy.com. This is a site that sells handmade
stuff, sort of a crafty-ebay (crafteBay? nah.) This shop, mangotreejewelry, was
recommended. The items look relatively inexpensive, and fairly nice. Here are a
couple of examples:
- Green Cluster Earrings, $21
- The Tassel Necklace, $36
The
price is certainly right. Not sure what the shipping costs are, and they don't say that they guarantee
delivery by Mother's Day, although they also don't say that they don't. So it's probably worth checking first.
So --
what do you think? Yea or nay?
