We are tackling all things for Mother’s Day from gifts to entertainment and restaurant deals. So far, there have been some aggressive and impressive discounts on gifts for mom as well as things to do. Here is a rundown of some of my favorite Mother’s Day gifts, entertainment and restaurant deals. Of course, it’s best to check out MyDFWMommy.com daily as deals can come and go at a moments notice!
Mother’s Day Gift Deals
Whether your mom is really into perfume, makeup or new tech, you can treat her to a thoughtful gift she’ll actually want this year without breaking the bank.
The best advice, think about what she is “in” to and what she never treats herself too. And the key is to remember with most retailers there will be some Mother’s Day “catch” or special to choose them, so take advantage of the “extras”.
Cards
If you shop at a Hallmark Gold Crown store Ibotta has released a new offer for $5 cash back whenever you spend $15+ at a Hallmark Gold Crown store (after discounts, coupons and tax – expires 5/4).
Shop for Designer Clothing Discounts
Last year, a Michael Kors handbag offer was a hugely popular deal! I can’t think of one mom who would turn that down!
Right now get up to 50% off MICHAEL Michael Kors Bags, Watches, Footwear, and more right now at Nordstrom.com. Plus, get free shipping with any order. You can get the Angelina Large Convertible Shoulder Bag goes from $368 to $183.98. Lots of other great deals too!
Nordstrom Rack has been my go-to for trendy items on the cheap and they’ve been really aggressive this year. Look in the sales section as you may WOW mama, but she doesn’t need to know what you spent :)!
Designer Fragrance Deals
If your mom is too hard to pick out threads for, you might consider opting for a new scent instead.
Michael Kors Signature Eau de Parfum for Women (1.7 Fl. Oz.) only $49.99 (Retail $90)
FragranceX is cutting up to 80% off with an extra 15% off all designer scents.
Flowers
Predictably, we’ve seen few jaw-dropping deals on flowers in the weeks leading up to Mother’s Day, but there are alternative ways to save on stems.
For two years running, Groupon has offered a cost-cutting credit for flower delivery service, FTD, so we’re hoping to see a similar offer go live in the next few days.
Here is an alternate deal: ProFlowers (50% Off). Pay $20 for $40 worth of flowers! ProFlowers’ flowers are shipped direct to the recipient in a box to ensure freshness for at least seven days.
