Mother’s Day is on

Mother’s Day – the perfect time to treat the lady that’s given you years of invaluable wisdom, pep talks, fashion tips, laughs and love. But doesn’t it just get harder and harder to find a gift that is special, thoughtful and that you haven’t gifted before?

While it can be tricky to find a gift that signifies a lifetime of gratitude to the wonderful woman that raised you, we do have some tips to help you find a good gift to thank mum for everything she does and treat her for being the significant female in your life.

Your gift should be:

Personality-fitting - If your mother loves to cook, get her a new set of pots and pans or some customized oven mitts. If she likes to dance, buy her some dancing lessons or a new dress to gout dancing in. If she’s more of a home-body who enjoys spending time inside, get her a cosy set of loungewear or a nice book she can curl up to read. Always consider your mum’s unique personality when choosing her gift; we don’t want to gift her something she won’t end up using, now do we?

Thought-full - You know your mum best - what would she really really appreciate? What would really make her smile, laugh or cry? Go for that!

Hobbies-centered - Think of your mom’s hobbies and what she likes to do in her spare time. Get her something that contributes to that. It’ll show you pay attention and it’s always nice to receive a considerate gift.

Age-appropriate -  Pick something that people her age use. She’s older than you, but of course not as old as your grandma. Pick something suitable for her. You can even ask your aunts or any of her friends for their opinions!

You’re ready to conquer Mother’s Day!

Should you choose to shop from the comfort of your home online, here are some tips and tricks to make sure you shop safely, securely and smartly:

• Shop with trusted online retailers or do thorough research before making purchases from unknown retailer sites.
• Never provide your credit card information if you do not see the ‘padlock’ on the upper left-hand side of your address bar, or if the address begins with “http://” instead of “https://”.

• Keep your information private. If the retailer asks for too much information such as your birth-date and social security numbers, do not complete the transaction.
• After shopping online, it’s a good idea to keep a close eye on all your banking statements, checking them weekly rather than by the month, just in case something slipped to a hacker. Notify your cardholder service if there are any discrepancies immediately.
• Maintain good virus protection on your computer to prevent spyware and other hacks from accessing your information. Many trusted anti-virus services are available online for free so you can take advantage of convenient online shopping.
• Avoid using public Wi-Fi to do your shopping, rather use secure connections.
• Be cautious of unsolicited emails and pop-up internet adverts with too-good-to-be-true offers. Use caution when a deal is drastically better than others and always double-check before clicking on ads.
