A few things are certain in life: one of them is that mothers are very popular among the gift industry. They really have you covered when it comes to birthday greetings for moms.
Or at least they think they do, and they might — if you like silver photo frames, scarves, perfume-and-lotion packages, potpourri, desk sets, or mirror-brush-and-comb sets. The thing is, she’s likely received plenty of those over the years and is probably eager for something new — she’s just waiting for you to FINALLY get with it and choose some new birthday greetings and ideas she’ll actually LIKE.
The key is to give her a present that will reward her in some way - either physically, such as a gift certificate for a full day at your city’s finest spa; mentally, such as a first-edition book by her favorite author; and/or socially, like a trip or vacation she’s always wanted to take — first class, of course, for Mom.
Birthday gifts for Mom should also be self-indulgent and downright decadent. She’s your Mom! It’s her birthday, and she deserves a wonderful, thoughtful present from you! So by all means, reward her: present her with a gourmet chocolate or food and wine basket, if that’s her fancy; or, if she prefers the beauty of flowers, send her a fresh, aromatic bouquet of “personalized” flowers, with a sentimental inscription — exclusively from you to her — actually imprinted on the petals.
Or, you can always stick to the more conventional gifts and still surprise her with your unique ideas: For example, music boxes will never go out of style as great birthday gifts — If she likes Beethoven, how about a piano-shaped music box that plays “Moonlight Sonata”? Elvis fan? Check. (And you don’t even have to go to Graceland for this one.) Led Zeppelin? Get a specially ordered music box with the band’s logo on it, blaring “Rock and Roll” and “Trampled Underfoot.” Is she a country music aficionado? Cowboy-hat-shaped music boxes crooning all the classics are right up her alley.
Birthday greetings for your Mom can come in all shapes, sizes, and even emotions. They don’t have to be wrapped up in special paper with a trendy bow; in fact, some of the best birthday greetings are the “intangibles.” The one thing to remember is that for Mom, your birthday greetings have to be from your heart. Just try some of these ideas or mesh them with a few of your own, and YOUR gift will put the biggest smile on Mom’s face when she opens her present.
