Christmas Gift Ideas for Mom

Now it's time to jot down some notes and start churning the engine in your mind. Here are a few Christmas gift ideas your mom might enjoy,

Spa day for two. Make a day for the two of you to enjoy some pampering with facials, pedicures or massages. If you can, make it a day and do it all!

Supper for two. Take your mom out to a fine-dining restaurant, dress code and all. Enjoy being served and taken care of for a night. This as an opportunity to honor your mom and learn more about her. Show appreciation for all she has done in your life.

Attend a seminar or conference together. Grow together and make memories by attending a speaker in your area. Go out to lunch afterward and discuss what you've learned. Check your local paper or website for upcoming events in the area.

Have children? Paint some images using your child(ren)'s developing artistic skills. In the center, write a poem or words of thanksgiving to her. Let her know how special her role as grandmother is. Frame and present on Christmas morning.

Does she have a grandmother's ring? Go in with other siblings to create a special ring (or necklace or bracelet; whichever she prefers to wear) with birthstones of her grandchildren.

Create a grandmother album with photos of her and the children. Make sure it has room for you to leave notes by each picture, illustrating the event and memory created during the time

SOME Christmas Gift Ideas

1. Music that the family would be able to play together, personalized songs are best!
2. Hats, gloves, mittens and scarves for the entire family.
3. Beauty supplies, things like bubble bath, spa kits, spa gift cards, massage tickets - these are all things that a woman loves to get and loves to take advantage of.
4. The best way to a girls heart is through chocolate. Truffles, boxes, bins, tubs - any form will do!
5. Memories are a precious thing; frames pictures make fantastic gifts for families.
6. Daisies, roses, orchids - any type of flower at all would be fantastic for the holiday season.

7. A movie gift basket filled with two DVDs the family can enjoy as well as popcorn and candy.
8. Homemade cookies or cakes that the family can share.
9. Whether it is a band that he likes or a stand up comedy show, tickets are a great gift for anyone and it is something you both can do together!
10. Gift baskets full of fruit are incredible gifts for families to share

Client Testimonials

“When we go shopping, Summer constantly chooses items that make me raise my eyebrow at first, until I try it on. Wow. What an eye. It still amazes me that my favorite things in my closet now are pieces I would have never even picked up. She has a talent, that's for sure. She's fun, provides exceptional service, and truly feels likes a friend when we shop together.
 Sandra, Morristown, NJ 

"I hired Summer for my Fiancé’s Christmas Shopping because both of us are extremely busy at work and we figured we would try her to see how this personal shopping thing worked. I was amazed. She streamlines through a store like nothing I've ever seen. Picking up items, holding things up, assessing things. She's great at explaining why things work and don't work. She did such a great job with the gifts and even shipping them; I ended up becoming a client myself.
