A Gift For Mother
In the south, Spring is beginning to show up in beautiful blossoming trees and flowers.
That means Mother's Day almost here, and it falls on Sunday, May 9, 2010.
If your mother loves collectible figurines, then shopping is easy as you can simply add to her collection.
Suppose, however, that you're totally out of ideas, and your mother just doesn't seem the collectible figurines "type"? Maybe you should reconsider - or maybe you just have no idea of the amazing variety of available figurines.
From cute to elegant, from whimsical to moving, there really is something for every taste and every personality.
Here are some thoughts and ideas to help get you started finding a gift for Mother.
First, you need only think of what your mother enjoys.
Is she a sports fan, nature lover, military mom, nostalgia queen? You name it! You're probably aware of figurines such as angels, cats, dogs, fairies, birds and other wildlife.
Did you know that you can also find collections such as football, fishing, motorcycles, Gone With the Wind, lighthouses, patriotic, Disney, dragons, Native American, Betty Boop, John Deere, John Wayne, and Elvis? For a gift that gives back, several lines offer figurines for which a portion of the sales proceeds goes to charity.
Give your mother a sleek pink motorcycle figurine, and you'll be contributing to breast cancer foundations.
Thomas Kinkade offers a collection called "Commitment to Caring" that supports Alzheimer's research.
These days I don't know anyone who hasn't somehow been touched by one of those dread diseases.
What a wonderful way to give to mother and humankind at the same time.
If your search is for the more traditional figurines styles, you may want to look at lines such as Precious Moments, Lladro, Nao, and Goebel Hummel.
For emotion and sentiment, Willow Tree Figurines are very expressive.
More whimsical yet still touching styles can be found in collections such as Boyds Bears.
Stepping completely out of the box, check out The Bradford Exchange for that cool pink motorcycle and lots of other unique figurines that just might suit your mother perfectly.
Of course, only you will know what's exactly right for your mother, and for the message you want to send.
Our mothers are all so very unique with such different interests and personalities.
Even so, whether you want to touch your mother's heart or make her laugh, you can find the perfect gift for your mother in the world of collectible figurines.
Happy Mother's Day!
