We are born of love; Love is our mother – Rumi

The perfect gift for Mothers on Mother’s Day 2021?

I’ve been reminded that Mother’s Day 2021 is just around the corner – on Sunday the 9th May, and it prompted me to wonder – What do Mothers really want for Mother’s Day?

I did a little research and found a site that listed their top 10 Mother’s Day 2021 gifts. Here is the list:

    “These flowers last up to a year and are sure to make a statement wherever they’re displayed. “
  2. HereafterLA Patchwork Heart Wood Card

  1. A subscription to Netflix
  2. Thoughtful food provisions
  3. Wet wipes
  4. A baby sling
  5. New bedding
  6. Something just for her

  10. Reassurance

What does a mother really want for Mother’s Day 2021? How about time?

What an interesting array of possible possibilities! Not many of them appeal to me, although I certainly recall the wish for reassurance, back when I was a new dad.

One site I came across suggested something that intuitively felt right, to me. Time.
It suggested that what mother’s want most is more time, and perhaps a little leisure to let them enjoy it.

Now that would be my idea of a gift!
