I see you out there—you’re just like me: horrible at Mother’s Day. This woman went to all the trouble to bring you into this world, and on the one day each year to honour her, here you are shopping for a gift the week before Mother’s Day! (*Okay, two days—she had a birthday, too. **Okay, three days—you probably do Christmas or Hannukah or something, so hey. You get the point, right?)
And don’t forget: Mom probably knows you better than you know yourself, so this isn’t some gift you can figure out at the last minute! She’ll thank you, but that’s one guilt trip just waiting to happen somewhere down the line!
Which is why you—and all non-planner types like me—need help. We need someone skilled in all things Mother’s Day to guide our ways and help us get the gifts our Moms will love.
And so, enter Hallmark.
Hallmark Canada invited me and some other content creators from the Toronto area to a Guy-Friendly Mother’s Day Wrapping Party hosted by Rick Campanelli, one of the nicest guys ever borne of Canada’s entertainment industry! In a showroom filled with greeting cards, gifts and wrapping paper, my mission was simple—to choose stellar Mother’s Day presents for the Moms in my life and wrap ’em up well in advance of the 13th!
And it was excellent, too, because Hallmark knows Moms far better than I do, with a selection of gifts that’d satisfy even the most discerning Mom in your life! Slippers, jewellery, handbags and more—Hallmark’s far more than just another greeting card store!
She Brought You Into This World — A Nice Gift is the Least You Can Do.
As the second-most popular day for gift-giving and the third-largest for sending cards, Mother’s Day isn’t a holiday to be taken lightly. If you’re out there looking for the perfect gift and the supplies to beautifully wrap it, think of Hallmark as your one-stop shop for everything you’ll need to make this Mother’s Day special!
And hey—if someone’s willing to feed you pizza and beer while you do it, then all the better, right?
Good luck with your Mother’s Day shopping, and until the next, I remain,

Disclaimer: As mentioned in the post, Hallmark Canada invited me out to see their Mother’s Day collection and take gifts home for the mothers in my life. You’d think spending time wrapping gifts would make for a dull night, but you’d be very wrong!
