Spanx For Mother’s Day? No Thanks (Tips)

Here’s a tip for last-minute Mother’s Day shoppers. Don’t get mom Spanx.

Spanx for Mother's Day? No Thanks.

Spanx? No thanks.

Despite this suggestion from the cover of a Spanx catalog, I must say that I cannot imagine buying Spanx for any of the moms in my life. Spanx for the wife? Are you kidding me? And Spanx for your own mother? That’s just creepy. Read more »

A Kindle For Mothers Day [Mothers Day Gifts]

A Kindle For Mothers Day

Here’s an idea — get mom a Kindle for Mothers Day.

Why a Kindle? Well, despite the fact that the iPad got all the media attention, the device is not for everyone. The Kindle is much more like a book. The screen has no illumination, and before you say “but that’s a bad thing”, remember what else has no illumination — paper. The reading experience is much closer to the way us old folks have been reading for years, despite the iPad’s nifty page turning animation.

Also, if you’ve waited this long to get your mom or the mother of your children a gift, Amazon is offering free overnight shipping for Mothers Day. So it will actually get there in time. Something to think about.

Free Shipping at The Shelving Store

Who doesn’t need shelving?

The free shipping offer is for Mother’s Day. Personally, we do not recommend buying your mother shelves, even if they are very nice shelves. The deal is good, though. Buy some of these and install them for mom, maybe, while also getting her something else.

Free Shipping Offer – good on orders above $199.

If you’re not ordering that much, try this 5% off discount:
