A hug. Some flowers. A quick card on the way to brunch. Yes, Mastermind, your Mom will read the card, smell the flowers, and maybe even shed a tear.
Mother's Day? Check. Birthday? Check. Relief? Check.
It shouldn't be this easy. No, seriously... It really shouldn't be that easy.
It's time to make a few changes. Let's raise the bar, change the approach, and give her something that will have you grinning in victory as you pass the masses of average offspring picking up overpriced bouquets on the side of the road.
As a kid, you probably complained about more scrapes and bruises than she did about the time she spent in labor with you. Give her some dance lessons and call it equal.
If she was an Uber driver, your account would be in the super-negative hall of fame.
For 15 years, your Mother’s Day gifts were made of construction paper, and included promises of back rubs and car washes that have yet to be delivered. It’s time to pay up.
Imagine if you could view a video montage from one of your years as a teenager. As soon as it was over, you'd ship you off to boarding school.
You may have taken dance classes, music lessons, or sports as a kid and never really realized that your Mom was living out her own dream through you. With a gesture from you, and a visit to her local Arthur Murray dance studio - she can have the real thing.
Let her know that you will be totally fine if she takes a shower, stops by Arthur Murray, and meets you for dinner afterwards. She's earned it.
Imagine the next wedding reception, birthday party, or anniversary with your Mom as your Salsa, Swing, or Cha-Cha partner.
The history you share with your mother is like a fingerprint. It's unique. And a unique woman deserves a unique gift. Whether it is Mother's Day, her birthday, or just Tuesday - Your Mom definitely deserves dance lessons.
Your Mom is special, that's sort of been established. So doesn't she deserve your very best gift giving skills? Whether it's a gift card, a surprise appointment, or she's your plus one at one of our next open house nights, this is one gift that she won't return, will always fit, and will make up for all of those handmade car wash coupons you never serviced out.
