Cheers! It’s National Wine Day!  If you ever needed a reason to uncork a bottle of your favorite ‘vino’ (not that you ever needed one before) you certainly have one today. (You also had one in February for the separate, but similar, National Drink Wine Day, but, like glasses of wine, who’s counting?) Today is all about spreading the love and health benefits of this liquid of the gods that’s praised for its positive benefits of new friends, reduced risk of heart disease, and the enhancement of food and life. To help set the festive mood, we’ve created a fun roundup full of crafts, gift ideas, and more that will bring your love of wine out to play. So get set to let wine do what it does best – bring us together with the ones we love.

Mother’s Day Gifts: Then & Now

by

We invite you to travel down memory lane with us as we showcase some then-and-now Mother’s Day gifts in the chart below. We bet you’ll nod your head in agreement and even enjoy a few laughs as you compare what a typical gift was “back then” to what it would be today. You may even pick up a few gift-giving or -getting ideas yourself.

  My, how times have changed! Don’t you agree that the gifts we used to give our moms decades ago for Mother’s Day look quite a bit different than the ones moms (or grandmas or maternal figures) are getting today? Granted, technology, convenience, and just the natural progression of life have had a lot to do with this. But we’re sure everyone agrees that the one and only intent behind the gifts has constantly remained—and will always continue to remain—the same: to show our love and gratitude to an amazing woman who is raising a child. We invite you to “share” this blog post with friends and family, too. We bet they’ll love it! And if you have other gift ideas that you think have made big changes over the years, feel free to leave a comment below. We’d love to hear from you!
