Did you know ….
In 1907, Anna M. Jarvis (pictured right), a Philadelphia schoolteacher, began a campaign to establish a national Mother's Day in honor of her mother, Ann Maria Reeves Jarvis. She wrote hundreds of letters to legislators and prominent businessmen on both state and national levels asking them to create a special day to honor mothers. In 1914, Anna's hard work finally paid off when President Woodrow Wilson made the official announcement proclaiming the second Sunday in May as a national holiday in honor of mothers.

Mothers perform a lot of different tasks, and because they accomplish so much, they often become stressed out. As we all know, when moms stress out, everyone else in the family pays (nag much?). Help mom get to her ‘happy place’ with the gift ideas below.


* A brand new iPod Nano in a vibrant color- The cheerful color will up mom’s energy level while the music and color videos will put mom in an upbeat mood. To score extra brownie points, download a few songs about mothers onto the iPod. (see link for a list of song ideas). http://blogs.abcnews.com/allan_raible/2008/05/in-honor-of-mot.html Create an eDivvy group gift with the iPod Nano by clicking here



* Magazine subscription - Here is a gift that will last all year long. Keep your mom hip and up-to-date with a subscription to People, or help your mom expand her culinary skills with a subscription to Food Network. Whatever your mom’s interest, there is sure to be a magazine for it. Create an eDivvy group gift with a 1 year subscription to People by clicking here



*Luxurious cashmere- Lavish your mom’s overworked body with the soft feel of cashmere. Whether it be robes, scarves, slippers, or blankets, mom will treasure any item made from heavenly cashmere. See our collection of cashmere items by clicking here



*Massage chair- Moms are busy and may not have the time or the money to go to the spa on a regular basis. What if you brought the spa to her…in the form of a massage chair? Imagine at the end of a long day, your mom sinking into the soft leather massage chair, sighing with contentment. The bonus? Next time you visit your mom, you can hop on the massage chair and get a free massage! See our collection of massage chairs by clicking here.


* iRobot Roomba vacuum- Cross one task off mom’s endless chore list by presenting her with a robotic vacuum. While mom is out grocery shopping or shuttling the kids around town, the Roomba will be dutifully at home, vacuuming the house! Can’t you just envision the joy on mom’s face when she returns home and the floor is all clean? Create an eDivvy group gift with the iRobot by clicking here.




I saved the best idea for last. This idea will blow all other Mother’s Day gift proposals away. What if you gave your mom all five of the gifts above? Visualize your mom bopping to the music on her iPod, perusing a magazine while relaxing in a massage chair, wrapped in a cashmere blanket, all the while, the robotic vacuum is cleaning by her side. Aaaahhhh, mothers can dream, can’t they?

All kidding aside, whatever you decide to present your mother with on Mother’s Day, just be sure it is from the heart. To all the mothers out there, a sincere Happy Mother’s Day from eDivvy.com!
