By  | 

Mother's day note

Wondering what to get your Mom for Mother’s Day?  Mother’s Day is Sunday May 12th.  Some of you are already prepared while some are still shopping.  A new survey from the US Post Office shows you don’t have spend a lot of money to make Mom happy on Mother’s Day.   According to the USPS, 94% of Mothers would prefer a handwritten note to a email or a small gift like chocolates.  That tells me that what Mom really wants is a thoughtful gesture and something that is genuine.    That’s really what a handwritten note is all about.    Remember, Robert Browning won Elizabeth Barrett Browning with his sincere handwritten notes.  A handwritten note let’s your Mom know this holiday is  personal, not commercial.  That’s why it’s such a great gift and one that is very low cost.
