About a week ago my husband asked me what I want for Mother’s day.  My birthday is also in May, so it’s double gift giving time for me!

But I am the hardest person in the world to shop for.  I can’t even shop for myself.  Knowing this I try to actually think of a gift suggestion when I’m asked.  But it’s really difficult.  You would assume that it would be very easy to think of something you want for free.  But it’s not… not for me anyways.

So I’ve been thinking for the past few days.  What I really want are things that other people can’t really buy for me, like clothes.  I need a new pair of sunglasses, but I need to pick them out myself.  I could use some shorts, but again… I need to shop for them myself.  I’m really not someone who is into material things.  I feel that I have everything I need.  So the thinking continues…

Then yesterday morning I went to make my son and myself a bagel.   I put the two halves into the toaster.  And wait.  And wait.  And wait.  I finally notice it’s been a very long time, so I manually pop up the popper and the bagel is black.  GRRRRR.  I hate this toaster!  A waste of a bagel and now I have to wait for the toaster to cool down so that I can try again.

But at least it gave me a Mother’s day gift idea.  A new toaster.  Come to think of it… I asked for it for Christmas too.  I guess my husband doesn’t think a toaster is romantic enough.  haha.  I suppose he’s right.  But it will make my morning a happier place, and that’s romantic.  Maybe he can find one that toasts a heart into the bread.

So what are you hoping for as your Mother’s Day gift? What are you planning on getting your Mom?
