kids art Brings Mother’s Day Home For New Moms
Here’s a tiny known perfect storm that can be a great gifting opportunity for new dads: when Mother’s Day coincides with the expected delivery day. It would be a massive mistake for fathers to forget about celebrating Mother’s Day, although you can bet their minds are elsewhere. The opportunity is rich for dads who remember, because new mothers will talk about it for years to come. So here’s some advice about how to plan for this double holiday.
The easy part first: have a flower shop confirm delivery for Mother’s Day. Even if the delivery date turns out to not be correct, and even two weeks late, she will still appreciate the flowers because you made the connection about her new duty in life. The reason why this technique is so influential is because many wives know that their husband’s mom can be dominant in their mind.
Next, order your wife’s favorite dinner (or cook it yourself if so inclined) and put it in the freezer. Trust me, near the end of the pregnancy, you both will be bored with quick and simple take-out food and she’ll love the forethought in cooking her favorite meal on Mother’s Day. 20 minutes in the oven or less in the microwave and you’ve already made her day….
Lastly, do some undercover nursery decorating. This is easy, guys. If the nursery has already been decorated, simply choose some children art that matches the general color scheme. This will knock her socks off. Even better: place the fresh flowers in the nursery (whether or not the baby is born yet) and she will be shocked to see the change when she walks into the nursery on Mother’s Day.
