Baby Nursery Art Brings Mother’s Day Home For New Moms

Here is a little known perfect storm that can be a great gifting opportunity for new dads: when Mother’s Day coincides with the expected delivery day. Unfortunately, too many new dads will forget about this crucial holiday if mom is due in May. But if you play this hand right, it’ll be the best Mother’s Days ever. Allow me to take a few minutes to give you some great ideas about how to transform this “perfect storm” into a surprise celebration.

The easy part first: have a flower shop confirm delivery for Mother’s Day. If the baby comes late, it doesn’t even matter because she will appreciate how you have made a transformation in thinking about her role in life. The reason why this technique is so influential is because many wives know that their husband’s mother can be dominant in their mind.

Next, order your wife’s favorite dinner (or cook it yourself if so inclined) and put it in the freezer. Trust me, near the end of the pregnancy, you both will be bored with quick and easy take-out food and she will love the forethought in cooking her favorite meal on Mother’s Day. There’s no time to think, much less cook, during those final days of the pregnancy or the first days of the baby’s life, so a well-cooked meal that is easily prepared will be convenient and heart warming.

The last thing to try is sneaking in some stealth baby nursery upgrades. Not difficult. Just pick out some original baby nursery art that goes with the established color scheme of the room. This will knock her socks off. Even better: place the fresh flowers in the nursery (whether or not the baby is born yet) and she will be shocked to see the change when she walks into the nursery on Mother’s Day.
