Mail Your Mother a Gift Basket this Mother's Day

If you've waited the last minute (as I have) to even think about Mother's Day, don't worry!  Time has not run out yet!  You can still order a pretty decent gift online and it will make it to your mother's house before the holiday.

You would be amazed at how many gift baskets are available on Amazon for less than $20!  There are many options, such a candy gift baskets, coffee and tea gift sets, and even spa gift baskets.  If you are willing to spend more, you can even get free shipping on most items $25 or over.

Sending a gift basket for Mother's Day is the perfect solution for people that don't have a lot of money and seriously don't have a lot of time.  Who has the free time to go to the post office to ship a gift for Mother's Day if visiting her is not an option?  Personally, I just don't have the time to do that.  With Amazon, you can choose a gift basket, pick from the gift options, and have them ship it for you.  It is as easy as that!

Believe it or not, you can even choose from some gourmet gift baskets.  You can even pick out a potted plant to send your mother from Amazon, as well.  Most potted plants are under $10 and, yes, they even ship those!  So don't just assume it is too expensive to send your mom a gift from Amazon.  It is easy and convenient.  What a great way to say you care!

Food as a Gift

If you are looking for a practical and inexpensive gift for this holiday season or birthdays, I would like to suggest giving a gift basket or gift bag full of food.  I am not talking about the fancy baskets with cheese and wine either.  I am talking about a gift with food that people really need.  If you are broke, chances are, some of the people around you are low on money, too.

Some people may get offended if you try to give them food; however, if it is given as a cute present, a person who really needs it will probably be grateful.  You could even throw in a low-priced gift card or a fun item just for good measure. 

When giving a practical gift basket, make sure to include items that are non-perishable.  You should include cans of soup, rice, pasta, pasta sauce, and you may even want to give items like detergent, shampoo, etc.  In these difficult economic times, many people appreciate the help.
