“Take time to think about what Dad enjoys, so you can pick something he will actually use and enjoy… Go beyond the usual Father’s Day card and include a special memory or two you have about special times with him, especially something he may not know you consider special.”
Remember, is more significant when you give something personalised you made by yourself, avoid consuming! And a big respectful thought to all those who play both parent roles 💚
“Those old treadle sewing machines didn’t break easily. Even if electric sewing machines outpaced them, the foot-powered machines stayed in homes around the world. Many craftsmen have remade them into desks, tables, bars, bookshelves and more.”
Don’t chuck that broken umbrella! by TheGoodLifeIf your umbrella has detached from its metal spines, tie or sew it back together with waxed floss, which will endure longer than regular thread.
If it still doesn’t work, repurpose or upcycle! Here some ideas:

Mother’s Day is [a nation’s] greatest guilt holiday: mothers brought us into the world, raised us, or even both, and we can at least buy them brunch and a handful of tulips, right? Of course! Stuff isn’t a proxy for love, but the National Retail Federation tells us that Americans plan to spend an average of $172.63 each on Mother’s Day festivities this year.
Mother’s Day isn’t about buying stuff for only our own personal mothers, of course, 6,285 people took this year’s phone survey, and they named some other people who they celebrate on that day. These included wives, sisters, grandmothers, daughters, friends, godmothers, and “other relatives,” which probably includes stepmothers and aunts. Shoppers said that they plan to spend about $8 on cards for the holiday, and 80% of them planned to buy at least one card.
67% of shoppers plan to buy flowers: while Valentine’s Day is the biggest holiday for giving flowers, Mother’s Day is the biggest holiday for having flowers delivered from afar.
Other odd bits from the survey? 44% of participants plan to give their mother figures gift cards for the holiday, and 14% plan to give them some kind of consumer electronics.
I think is always better if you make something by yourself to give as a gift. Is personalised, is unique, is made by your own hands, you put your time and effort on it… and the advantages is that your recipient (in this case, your mom) will love it for all of these reasons, besides that you spend almost no money, you don’t go with all of the flow and buy a card something that many other moms will get 😉
Remember, is more significant when you give something personalised you made by yourself, avoid consuming!
