Mom Doesn't Need More Stuff To Dust

Mother’s Day is coming up soon and the question of what to get mom to show her she is appreciated is something I am frequently asked! I know everyone loves their mom, but she really doesn’t want anything more to dust or another set of fingertip towels. She hasn’t used the last three sets yet! So, what to give her to show her how much she means to you and how thankful you are to have her in your life?

Seems to me, mom would know best what she needs or wants. Besides, you may not have the same tastes. Giving her some spending money would be a great idea because it gives mom the freedom of choice! Now the question is, how to give cash in a personal way that doesn’t require any expertise or a huge investment in time and materials! That is exactly why I developed Foldin’ Money Kits! They are a unique and fun way to give a gift of cash with a touch of class and still stay within your budget!

Giving money and still looking cool doing it is what these kits are all about! They are easy to make and will be a big hit with mom! You will feel satisfaction in giving a handmade gift that is practical, useable and fun! The added beauty of this gift is that it easily unfolds so that mom can spend it any way she wishes! Your mom will love it and love you for being so creative and thoughtful. It’s a real memory maker and...she’ll never have to dust it!

Why cash is better than a toaster

Remember when you got married and you got 4 toasters? Then you had to return 3 of them if you could and what a hassle that was? I ran across this article about gift cards vs. cash! I totally agree with Liz Pulliam Weston and here is part of the article.

"After reading her list of reasons not to get gift cards, I’m becoming less of a fan of them myself (unless I can get them for free, of course). I didn’t know, for example, that some retailers won’t let you split purchases with gift cards. This means that if you have $3 left on your card, and the cheapest item in the store is $4,you’re out of luck. That would tick me off royally. I don’t think I’d shop there again if they pulled that.

Cash doesn’t suffer from this problem. I mean, well, it does lose a little bit of value every day from inflation, but it doesn’t expire, there aren’t any fees associated with holding it, it’s accepted pretty much everywhere, and can be spent (or not spent) for pretty much any reason." If you’d like to read the whole article here’s the link http://www.mightybargainhunter.com/2009/12/10/pass-on-giving-gift-cards-and-give-cash-instead/

This is why I founded Foldin' Money on, give cash but in a fun and unique way! It is great because not only do you give a great gift, you don't waste time with shopping or spend gas and tire yourself out at the malls! The added benefit is you KNOW they are going to love spending it! For more information go to foldinmoney.com

Men Are Funny Creatures

Men and their logic often escape me and my sweetie is no exception! We work different shifts, he nights, me days. He loves to record TV programs that he misses while at work. So the deal was he could record on the bedroom TV, leaving our other television free for my viewing pleasure, provided the recording ends before I go to bed. The VCR in the bedroom makes strange noises when it stops recording and that wakes me up. Seems logical, right? One night before he left for work, I came into the bedroom and heard the VCR humming away. I asked him how long it was set to record and he said, sheepishly, “About 1:00 am.” My jaw dropped, but his retort was PRICELESS, he said, “It’s okay, I turned the fan on so that will drown out the VCR sounds!!” I laughed, “My dear,” I said, “Noise is noise!!” He is such a sweetheart, how could I be mad at him for trying to be thoughtful? Thank god for men, life would be so boring without them! www.foldinmoney.com
