What a perfect way to spoil mum this Mothers Day - with a set of gardening tools.The marketing is in overdrive - and the words treat, spoil and pamper are being tossed around liberally.
Apparently sending mum out to work in the garden with a new set of tools, into the kitchen with a new microwave, or the office with a new printer is the perfect way to let her know you love her.
Mothers Day is essentially an invention of the greeting card companies but there is nothing wrong with taking stock and remembering to tell those nearest and dearest to us that they are nearest and dearest to us.
But with gardening tools......?
Pampering involves a personal masseuse not a personal microwave.
But really it doesn't need to involve wads of cash. The hand-made card, the sleep-in and the breakfast in bed (even if the toast is cold, slightly mangled and smothered in Vegemite) show love much more than spending big.
Open your heart, not your wallet (well, if you insist a pair of winter PJs would be okay too!)
