Funny and Easy Gifts for Mother's Day

It’s nearly Mother’s Day. Usually I celebrate Mother’s Day by calling my mom and apologizing for not sending her a card. Being awesome, my mom says she doesn’t want a card. Look how amazing she was (and still is…even though this picture was taken a few years ago).

Wine...or beer!
Wine…or beer!

But this Mother’s Day, I’m giving my mom the best (and easiest) gift of all. This free gift is loosely modelled after the fill-in-the-blank letters I received from my kids when they were in kindergarten a while back. Let’s face it: if adult colouring books are the new craft-du-jour, then it follows that fill-in-the-blank cards are perfect for septuagenarian parents.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom. (See? I’m early!)

Mother's Day Easy Free Gift

 

Stay tuned for her anniversary…when I’ll give her and my dad a bouquet of flowers made from egg cartons and pipe cleaners!

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.

From,
Your favourite…

If you wish to make your mom (or wife) a fill-in-the-blank Mother’s Day letter, here is the template:

Go wild.

Or tell me in the comments what you’d fill in the blanks…
