Mother's Day is fast approaching!

That's right everyone, Mother's Day is just around the corner. This year, the Holiday Takes place on Sunday May 9, 2010. What better gift than a nice relaxing weekend stay at the Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott in Exeter NH with our heated pool and complimentary breakfast ?

Visit us online Exeter Fairfield Inn and Suites and set up your reservation today. Book within the next 5 days and mention this blog or our facebook to the Front Desk and receive a special in room gift and a fantastic discount too! **Certain restrictions apply, see Hotel Staff for questions**

Now before you go and book that room, make sure you have an actual tangible present for your Mom this Mother's Day. If she's anything like my mom, and I'm willing to bet she is, you're going to either need something Shiny, or something that smells Nice. Whatever you do, don't get your Mom clothes. If it's too big she'll think you're calling her fat. If it's too small she'll think you don't even know her. Gift certificates are a great way of saying "I don't care about you enough to put thought into a gift, so here's 50 bucks to your favorite store".  Get her flowers, roses or tulips or something fancier, like Bird of Paradise.

Regarding Perfume, all women like Liz Clairbone scents. They're flowery, not too strong and they come in fancy little bottles. Just make sure you avoid any scents that remind you of Church. Nobody wants their mom to walk around smelling like Frankinscense or Myrr. (3 Kings of Orient Far anyone?)

That all being said, make sure you get her a card too. Moms are women (Generally speaking of course, it is 2010). And women as a whole enjoy the sentimental attachment to gifts. Spend 5 to 10 minutes in Hallmark, get a nice card that says "I love you" or "You're the best Mom I've ever had" or one of those cards with the music in it. But if it has music in it, only listen to it once at the Hallmark Store...otherwise you're going to annoy the rest of the shoppers around you.
