Alright boys, it\u2019s just you and me now.\u00a0 We all know that Mother\u2019s Day is sneaking up on us and that you haven\u2019t even thought about it.\u00a0 We also know that you can be the hero from then until your anniversary if you figure out the right gift.\u00a0 Relax.\u00a0 Just breathe.\u00a0 I\u2019m here to help.\u00a0 From now until May 9th I\u2019ll be posting ideas for my gentlemen readers.\u00a0 (Ladies, if you have hints here, please chime in.)\u00a0\u00a0 Oh, and for those men whose wives are not\/not yet moms, I\u2019ll have ideas for you too.<\/p>\n
My first idea is \u201cMom Cards.\u201d\u00a0 I know it sounds silly, but mom needs business cards, even if she stays at home.\u00a0 They are an invaluable tool at the park, church, the grocery store, etc.\u00a0 when she meets another mom, a baby sitter, a potential wine and pedicure friend.\u00a0 Most moms have been in that awkward moment of trying to swap contact info and having no paper on which to write.\u00a0 We end up using receipts, or old envelopes or whatever happens to be wadded up in the bottom of the diaper bag\/purse.\u00a0 It\u2019s not pretty and your wife deserves a bit more dignity than a nasty scrap of paper to hand over.\u00a0 My own cards have my name, the names of my children, my phone number, my email address, and my blog address.\u00a0 The women I hand them to always ooh and ahh over them as though I am the height of chic for having them.\u00a0 Now here\u2019s the cool part.\u00a0 They cost $6 including shipping.\u00a0 You read that right.\u00a0 When was the last time you got to be the good husband for less than $10?\u00a0 Never, right?\u00a0\u00a0 Okay, so here\u2019s the deal: go to\u00a0 vistaprint.com and get 250 FREE business cards and you just pay shipping.\u00a0 The only catch is that you have to order them soon because it takes 3 weeks to get them.<\/p>\n
How\u2019s that for a cool idea to start you off?\u00a0 The key is to make her feel loved and appreciated without buying her a vacuum cleaner or a diaper bag.\u00a0 Unless she asks for them, then you should listen.<\/p>\n
