Hallmark Mother’s Day Gifts

Spouses of mothers, this one is for you.

It’s go time. Time to make that special lady in your life feel as special as she is. Moms are an all important part of every family. No matter who they, are they are always there, be it a biological mom, a grandmother, a motherly friend of the family, an aunt, all who fit in the shoes deserve the recognition on Mother’s Day. (PS Mother’s Day is May 12.)

With Mother’s Day around the corner, it’s time to think about and work on some gifts. One of the first places we start every year is the Hallmark store. This year at Hallmark they have this great new craft/ gift idea called Magic Prints. Magic Prints are a clean non toxic clean, easy, clean, way to make hand/ foot/ leg/ear prints without the mess. Did I mention there is little to no mess?

Any way the way this works is with a special mitt , liquid and paper. The adult wipes the clear liquid onto the hand/foot of the little one then the little one puts their hand/foot onto the paper. The liquid itself has an aroma which is somewhat pleasant, almost floral. It does have an oily texture to it, so even though it is cleaner, I would suggest NOT wiping it on a shirt or pants.
