I just realized my mother’s birthday is next Thursday. I need to go to the mall and get her something. I was thinking of maybe a sweater.
I really hate the mall and shopping for clothing. Maybe I’ll just get her a gift certificate.
You can’t go wrong with a gift certificate, and that’s the truth. The person can pick what they want and you don’t have to worry about taking it back to exchange it.
I found out that most older folks like mothers (mine in particular) would rather have gift certificates. especially to their favorite restaurants or stores.
