Get what you want for
How to
Mother's Day
Why as mothers are we so afraid of just asking for what we want? Each year near Mother's Day we start dropping the hints. Subtle little reminders that an important day is coming up and we would like something nice (for once). If you're like me, you think your significant other should be able to come up with something good without you having to put forth much effort. However, if after employing this method for some time you're still not getting anything even remotely close to what you had in mind. We have some advice for you....
1. STOP BEING SUBTLE!!
People (husbands in particular) don't always pick up on hints. If there's something you want you have to ask for it. We're not saying be rude, just provide the information and make it easy. Take it from us, everyone will be happier.
2. Say it out loud (maybe more than once). "So I was thinking for Mother's day this year I'd really like ...." Be specific.
3. Email a link (include a picture) of what you're dreaming of, include size, color and any other pertinent info that will be needed to purchase.
4. Create a Pinterest board with several options, that way it's still a surprise for you, but the buyer has a list of things you definitely will like to choose from. You can even make it a secret board, just make sure to include the person you hope will do the buying on the board.
5. If all else fails, buy it for yourself. Just do it ahead of time and let the person(s) it will be from know so they don't spend more money on something else (that you probably don't want).
