At this point, all of my holiday shopping is done. Yay! Before I \u201ctechnically\u201d finish work for the year, I want to share some thoughtful last minute gift ideas for moms. (I say \u201ctechnically\u201d because I will still send my soul food recipes draft off to be formatted, redo this MitC website with the Pantone Color of the Year 2017<\/a>, and do my work plan for the first quarter of 2017 next week. That\u2019s all \u201cfun stuff\u201d though.) Anyway, I think that in order for gifts to be thoughtful that you actually have to think<\/strong>\u00a0about the recipient. What do they like or love? What would they enjoy? Gift-giving isn\u2019t about what is convenient for the gift-giver. Rather, it is what will put a smile on the recipient\u2019s face. If you don\u2019t know, then ask someone who is close to the recipient\u2026or even ask the person for a few different ideas.<\/p>\n

Personally, I try to listen and take notes regarding what people mention that they like during our interactions throughout the year. Then, it\u2019s easier to pick out gifts for them. For instance, if \u201csomeone\u201d (cough Reggie, Michael, or Sean) wanted to get a last-minute gift for a mom like me, then the following gifts would be very thoughtful\u2026<\/p>\n

1. Clothing<\/strong> or (even better) a gift certificate to one of my favorite clothing stores: LOFT, Banana Republic, and Ann Taylor are all great picks. Riders by Lee recently sent me a pair of their new Skinny Bounce Back women\u2019s jeans after a blogging event. They are super cute, comfortable, and affordable. I could use a few more pairs of those jeans.<\/p>\n

\"riders<\/p>\n

2. Paper Products:<\/strong> I am in love with all types of paper \u2013 journals, calendars, thank you notes, cards, and such. Poppin<\/a> is my playground. (I order myself monogrammed notebooks from them each year.) I also appreciated the 2017 Mindfulness Coloring Engagement Calendar<\/a> that its publisher sent for me to try out. \u201cPeace\u201d is going to be one of my main focus points for 2017 and coloring just might help.<\/p>\n

<\/p>

<\/a><\/center>3. Pampering gifts<\/strong>: I\u2019m pretty particular when it comes to facial products, but I love body scrubs, lotions and spa days.\n

4. Books<\/strong>\u00a0or a gift certificate to a bookseller like Amazon or Barnes & Noble: I love books and I have a long list of ones that I want to read in 2017. (That will be a separate post in January.)<\/p>\n

<\/p>

<\/a>
\nThe ONE Thing<\/em><\/a> is the first book on my list for 2017<\/center>\n

5. Charitable Gifts:<\/p><\/strong> In reality, I have everything that I need plus much of what I want. As such, I would love it if one was to give a gift to God\u2019s Love We Deliver<\/a> instead.\n

6. Technology Gifts:<\/strong> An Apple MacBook Pro<\/a> or iPhone 7 Plus<\/a> would be awesome. I would want them for my birthday instead of the holiday season, though.<\/p>\n

<\/p>

<\/a><\/center>7. Gift Cards:<\/strong> Some moms don\u2019t like gift cards, but I do. Gift cards to favorite restaurants, movie theaters, and Starbucks (yes\u2026Starbucks!) would all be gratefully welcomed!\n

In any event, I hope that all of you receive thoughtful gifts during the holiday season.<\/p>\n

Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, and Happy Kwanzaa!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
