Step 1
Find out what types of books your mother enjoys. Does she like to read mystery novels? Does she flip through photography books? Is she a fan of a particular fiction novelist? Ask her inconspicuously or find out from someone who knows (try dad).
-
Step 2
Head out to stores that are offering sales for Mother's Day. Most big chains have great Mother's Day sales, or at least make it easy to find great books for moms during the holiday season.
-
Step 3
Buy Mother's Day books early, even a month or more in advance. This carries a terrific advantage: if, for example, you are walking through a bookstore early and your mother mentions wanting a specific book, you can pick it up then and give it to her on Mother's Day. Chances are, your mom will be touched that you remembered.
-
Step 4
Shop for books when the authors are around to autograph their works. Getting the latest novel signed by your mom's favorite author makes the gift doubly special.
-
Step 5
Shop online at Amazon.com (see Resources below). Amazon.com has an extensive collection of books and novels and finding the book you want should be a snap. Regardless of where your mother resides in the country, you can order the book online and have it delivered.
