Mothers Day Gifts

Mothers day is on the 8th of May and that means you get more time to think (or forget) about what gifts you're going to buy for mom. With mom and Mothers day, you never know when the second week of May starts (because it's the second) but once June is half way though you literally have no excuse for not having enough time to buy a decent mothers day gift.

Add to that the fact that your dad will definitely expect his gift to be as good as what you got your mom and you're under a lot of pressure to live up to those expectations. The only problem is that buying a gift for mom was easy, it was either flowers or jewelry and mom isn't as demanding (or critical) as dad. There are no flowers and jewelry type things for fathers day gifts, there aren't any obvious and easy solutions and trying to go to the quirky side of gifts by giving your dad flowers will get you in trouble (lots of it).

The real problem with buying a gift for dad (especially if you're a teenager still living with your parents) is the fact that all the best and highly recommended gifts won't be in your budget until you turn forty. You can't just go to the local supermarket and buy your dad toothpaste or aftershave because that's the same as buying chocolate for mom from the concession store. The alternative to the car themed or sports themed gifts that are available are key chains and jerseys and they're just too small. When your dad compares them to how big the flowers were that you got your mom, he won't feel the love.

Instead of going with these ordinary gifts for your dad try a little something different like fathers day fruit baskets. Your dad will like the fact that he gets different kinds of fruits in one basket. If you think a fruit basket might not work for him; try a fruit bouquet. Fruit bouquets are fruit gifts like gift baskets but they're fruit sculptures that look like flowers. They're made with a huge variety of fruit like strawberries, pineapples, apples, oranges and lots more. No matter what your dad says, he'll enjoy a food gift, especially one that looks this good.

Many companies sell unique fruit bouquets and Mothers day gifts, and they roll out new lines of their products for special occasions like mothers day and fathers day. Try something different this year and buy a fruit bouquet for your dad. Fruit bouquets come with chocolate sauce.
