I see you out thereβyou’re just like me:Β horrible at Mother’s Day. This woman went to all the trouble to bring you into this world, and on theΒ one day each year to honour her, here you are shopping for a gift the week before Mother’s Day! (*Okay, two daysβshe had a birthday, too. **Okay, three daysβyou probably do Christmas or Hannukah or something, so hey.Β You get the point, right?)
And don’t forget:Β Mom probably knows youΒ 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 justΒ waiting to happen somewhere down the line!
Which is why youβand all non-planner typesΒ like meβneed 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 simpleβto choose stellar Mother’s Day presents for the Moms in my life and wrap ’em upΒ well in advance of the 13th!
And it was excellent, too, because Hallmark knows MomsΒ far better than I do, with a selection of gifts that’d satisfy even the mostΒ discerning Mom in your life! Slippers, jewellery, handbags and moreβHallmark’s far more thanΒ just another greeting card store!
She Brought You Into This World β A Nice Gift is theΒ Least You Can Do.
And heyβif 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’dΒ think spending time wrapping gifts would make for a dull night, but you’d beΒ very wrong!
