Every year when Mother’s Day approaches I think of my friend who work sin real estate, who once told me that she repeats this mantra to her clients: A home is the most important buying decision you’ll ever make in your life.
I suppose that’s true, but I have another friend who says she feels the same way about buying a gift for her mom on Mother’s Day.
The Mother’s Day gift-buying calculus is different for everybody: Too cheap. Too expensive. Too cookie-cutter. Too sentimental. Not sentimental enough. Too disposable. Maybe flowers? But flowers die. How about a plant? Photo book with the grandkids? I don’t have enough photos. A gift certificate for a hotel on the Jersey Shore? The hotel is a mom and pop and they don’t offer gift cards. Do I write her a check? That’s insulting. What does Dear Abby have to say about this?
My friend said she wishes she had the equivalent of a real estate agent to help her make a buying decision for Mother’s Day. I told her— that’s why I’m here! I tested some products, from comforters to hair removal tools, and did research on some others, and here’s what I’ve come up with:
CanvasChamp Perfect Mother’s Day Gift Ever!
My mom thinks she’s a photographer (she’s always posing us when the families get together, which is kind of annoying when she’s doing it but I’m always grateful when I see the images years later). So, for me, this is a perfect way to get her images onto the wall.
Canvas Champ is run by experienced artisans, designers, and printers, and the high-quality poly-cotton canvas material reflects that. The frames make my living room feel like a gallery. But it’s not just canvas — you can get photo pillows, wood prints, photo mugs, and many more personalized materials. It starts at about $4, and you can get 24-hour shipping. I know my mom’s going to love it.
