It is always a challenge for families to decide
what to give Mother for Mother’s Day. The New York Times Sunday newspaper came
to my rescue with a variety of options, featured in their T-Store four-color
advertising insert. Some of the gifts
included a “personalized” wooden pie box for 50 dollars, a “personalize”
rolling pin and pepper mill for $45, and how about the “personalize” cutting
board for 80 bucks? Also shown were
the “personalized” Lazy Susans and NY Times kitchen aprons, 80 dollars for the red
and 90 for blue.

Wouldn’t Mother
be delighted with a beautiful piece of jewelry to wear to the next gala event
instead of something to add to her chores in the kitchen?
Somehow the ad did not mention a 9-carat emerald-cut amethyst cocktail ring, in sterling silver for $1,100 or a cushion-cut ruby ring with tapered baguette
diamond side stones; platinum and 18K yellow gold setting from Harry Winston,
which is so expensive that one has to call for the price.

How about giving Mom
something that will make her life easier like a nice dinner out to an adults
only restaurant, and a precious bobble like a sterling
silver Mom Heart Tag Pendent from Tiffany and Co for $125, which comes wrapped
in a turquoise box with a white satin ribbon? She would adore that in place of all the “personalized”
kitchen utensils in the world.
Mom would really love a personalized ball and chain to the kitchen stove!
