Disclosure: This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Personalization Mall. All opinions are 100% my own.
The hardest person in my family to shop for is probably me. As the mama I don’t make picking out gifts for me an easy task. To start with I always say I don’t want anything. I truly feel like I have everything I need, my family. Now that J-bird is old enough to shop for and buy gifts for me, he feels like he HAS to buy me something. I try to explain to him the only gift I need from him is good grades and a great attitude. But he insists.
So I try to go easy on him by dropping hints to things I might accept as a gift for the holidays. I like to pin things to my Pinterest boards, leave random notes around the house, open a magazine to a certain page or even text him links to websites. The hunt is still on for him because I still keep it general enough that he has to figure out exactly what I want on that page.
For example, I will send him a link to a gift guide I have come across one like the Gifts For Mom from Personalization Mall. As you can see it has 3 items. Now J-bird has to use his best judgment, and what he has knows about my likes and dislikes to pinpoint which item on that guide I want.
It’s a fun little game. Sometimes I’ll leave extra clues lying around. On the Gifts For Mom from Personalization Mall I actually really would love to have the Her Heart of Love Personalized Sweatshirt Blanket. It is something I could definitely use and do need. I say I need the Sweatshirt Blanket for two reasons, Papa keeps it really cold in the house and everyone has a blanket throw on the couch except me.
Could this gift really not be any more perfect for me? With a choice of up to any 8 names, he could even have Poochi’s name added! The heart design is the perfect way to display the names of the ones I love. Its super soft and comfortable and made with my favorite jersey fleece material! The blanket is a very generous 50″ x 60″, the perfect size for me to cuddle with the girls during a movie night.
The other gifts listed on the guide are a beautiful vintage jewelry box and a bamboo cutting board. He couldn’t go wrong picking any of these items as I would love them all equally. I think it would be a hoot to have a personalized cutting board considering all the time I spend cooking in the kitchen! And you can never go wrong with a beautifully inscribed jewelry box. It would be a great place to keep all the cute costume jewelry he has bought me over the years when he was younger and shopping with my money!
I try to make gift giving fun. Letting him feel like he put in effort to pick out the perfect gift boosts his self-esteem. Although truth be told he can bring me a plastic cup and write mama on it, just like in his younger years, and I would treasure the gift just as much because it came from him.
