15 Gifts For Mom For Mother's Day
midtownmiamimagazine.com

Mother's Day is on Sunday. As a daughter or a son, we should show our moms how much we appreciate them. Sometimes, we do forget until the last minute to get a gift. Life gets in the way so here are some great ideas to get your mom for Mother's Day, especially if it ends up being last minute.

1. Dunkin/Starbucks Gift Card

If she never stops to get coffee in the morning or stops all the time, this saves the family some money and she gets her favorite coffee, at least for a few days.

2. Flowers

This may be a cliche gift but she will always love some flowers. It just shows her how much you appreciate her.

3. Yankee Candle

Who doesn't love candles? Make sure it is in her favorite scent though.

4. Book by favorite author

She probably does not get time to read a book so getting her one (especially close to vacation season) so she has a reason to.

5. Handmade card/gift

If moms love anything, they are things that are handmade by her favorite people on Earth that she can cherish.

6. Spa Day

For daughters, take her with you for a mani-pedi day. For a son, give her a gift certificate to a local spa or salon for her to take care of herself.

7. Jewelry

Get something nice but not super expensive. As long as it ifs from you, she will cherish it forever.

8. Movie Night

Get her a gift certificate to the movies to have her go see her favorite new movie coming out.

9. Date Night/Night Out

Every mother deserves a night with her favorite people that she never gets to spend time with. Get her a gift card to her favorite restaurant or bar and let her have a night out on you!

10. Framed Picture/Photo Shoot

Every mother loves pictures of her family and the ones she loves. Set up a photo shoot for yourself and the others in the family and get your favorite picture framed for her.

11. Store Gift Card

Maybe she has had an eye on a new outfit for work or everyday. Get her a gift card to a store she likes for her to treat herself.

12. Something she has her eyes on

Maybe last time you were at a store, she saw a new lamp for the house or something to replace what needs to be. Get it for her as a surprise!

13. Make her breakfast/lunch/dinner

I know that this is probably a cliche one that everyone does, but I can tell you she will really appreciate staying in bed and not making breakfast or not worrying about lunch or dinner.

14. Let her choose what to do

If there is something she wants to do for the day, like me and my family go to the greenhouse to get her plants, let her do it! It is her day.

15. Make the day about her!

Anything you do, make it about your mom.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
