| Mary’s Last-Minute Mother’s Day Ideas for Moms over 75 If you are one of those extremely busy people who just realized that Mother’s Day is this Sunday—yes, THIS Sunday—I have a few suggestions for you that are geared toward that hard to shop for demographic, the mother over 75…The GreatCall Jitterbug Flip – Easy to use and easy to read this Jitterbug phone is perfect for Mom. Make it a bonus gift, charge your Uber account with a few extra trips and download them to Mom’s new phone. The Hasbro Joy For All Companion Pet Cat – This is the purrfect pet for an older mom who likes animals—great companionship without the expense of a live pet. My aunt, Sr. Mary Leo, loves hers and now Snowflake is the hit of the monastery infirmary. David Austin Roses – If your mom likes to garden, this is a great gift! David Austin Roses can help you fill her garden with roses of any color, type, or size and every time they bloom who do you think she’ll be thinking of? Apple Watch – I LOVE my Apple Watch! It does so much more than tell time. Wearing it motivates me to get moving during the day. Sometimes I forget how long I’m at a desk or on the phone, hey wait, I can use the watch as a phone! While I’m walking, outside, with my dog. I like how easy it is to change the look and style of the watch just by switching out the wrist band. Your mom would probably like it too. iPad Pro – Ideal for watching movies or drawing a scale image of a satellite or creating a masterpiece (genre of your choice). Seriously, I recently rediscovered my iPad and had forgotten how much I like using it for watching movies and looking at my photos. It’s also a great size for facetime chats. Sabi Cane – Bringing beauty and design to mobility aids, Sabi’s elegant series of Roam walking canes and accessories offer a range of options – from sporty to chic to elegant. All are engineered for maximum comfort and safety, and are absolutely beautiful in eye-popping colors that say “Get up and go!” Rodan+Fields Beauty Products – Who doesn’t want to feel beautiful? Rodan+Fields has a full complement of skin care and beauty products as unique as your mom. Chico’s gift card – Chico’s a nationwide boutique chain, boasts associates that are style experts and can help Mom coordinate, accessorize, and build a wardrobe that’s just right for her. A call or visit from you – Maybe the least expensive but the most valuable. Day Trip – give Mom a local travel magazine like Sunset or Southern Living and have her pick a place the two of you can go for a day trip Greeting Cards – A box of mixed occasion greeting cards with stamped envelopes – A great way for Mom to keep in touch with friends and family all year. Music – How about creating and downloading a playlist from Pandora for Mom? Combine some of her favorites with some of yours. And for even easier listening, add a portable speaker. There you go, an even dozen ideas that moms of any age can enjoy. Wish her a Happy Mother’s Day from me. |
