One Stop Mother's Day Shop: Portland, Maine

By Mercie Hallow

May is the month wherein we celebrate Mothers Day. It is an International celebration for our good mothers for raising us up in this world. I used to buy a bouquet full of flowers and a special Mothers Day card/ gift for my mom on Mothers Days. Now that Im a mother myself of my cuddly 4 month old baby girl, I am thinking of how to make this day special for my mom. I wonder what my Alara would give me on Mothers Day a few years from now.

Flowers are still popular as a Mothers Day gift, especially for moms who are housewives who have chosen to care for her kids. Career moms often received a special planner as a gift to properly organize her work schedules. Scrap booking kits are also popular choice as a gift for hands on mom at home. Whatever gifts we have in mind, it is actually the though of remembering our moms on this special occasion that really counts.

There is a shop in Portland, Maine that exclusively sells gift items for Mother's Day. This is the One Stop Shop which is open only during the last week of April up to Mother's Day in May. Items being sold are usually homemade and craft stuffs that hobbyists make. The store opens at the usual store hours. It is heartwarming to see kids and husbands shopping this quaint store to pick what suits best for their beloved mother/ wives.

If picking a gift always remember to think of the person to whom the gift would be presented. It is important to decide based on the persons personality so one could know what the best gift for that person should be. Some people would sometimes ask indirect questions to their recipients to know what kind of gifts she prefers.

Mothers Day is fast approaching. Have you already thought of gifts to give your cherished mom?
