Mother’s Day – How Much Do You Love Your Mom?

Mother’s Day is exactly 9 days away, which doesn’t leave much time to get the perfect present. But is there really the perfect present? If I was a millionaire, sure, but I’m not so the quest for the perfect present continues.

What are you getting your moms for Mother’s Day this year? Another generic card from Hallmark? I guess everybody needs more empty words on a card that will only be tossed into the trash. How about a box of chocolates that only serves as a constant reminder of the diet roller coaster your mom’s been on since having you? Every mom loves flowers, right? Right, until they start wilting and remind your mom of another year of her life that’s wilted away. Are you taking your moms out to a nice dinner? HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO A RESTAURANT ON MOTHER’S DAY? It’s one of the busiest days of the year and you’ll probably only receive mediocre service, if that. I’m sure she’d enjoy a night on the town with every other mom on the face of the planet. Come on people! We owe our moms more than just empty sentiments, dying flowers, fattening chocolates, crammed restaurants and bad service. Our moms deserve more than this! And if any of these ideas were even remotely appealing to anyone, then you need to stop reading, go to the supermarket, buy a watermelon and try to fit it in your mouth. Then, when you realize how hard that is, maybe, just maybe, you’ll agree to put a little bit more effort into celebrating the woman who brought you into this world.

And then there’s always jewelry. One can never really go wrong with jewelry, right? Nope, there’s nothing wrong with jewelry except the beating it puts on your wallet a mere 35 days before Father’s Day rolls around to give it another beating. And this is only if you’re lucky enough not to have a loved one’s birthday or some special occasion in the mean time. Who created this never-ending stream of mandatory purchases? Well, that’s a whole other blog topic.

So what’s left? What’s the silver lining in this gift giving madness? Shoes. That’s right, shoes. It’s the perfect present because I don’t know a single woman that wouldn’t love a pair of shoes for a gift and at Bootbarn.com, they’re not that expensive. And there’s not a single woman who isn’t constantly in need of more shoes because, frankly, there is no such thing as too many shoes. How many pairs of black shoes does a woman need? 46….1 pair of black stilettos, 1 pair of black sling backs, 1 pair of black wedges, 1 pair of black mary janes, 1 pair of black boots, 1 pair of…...well you get the picture. And how many pairs of western boots do you need? Most people would probably say 1 or 2 pairs but in a perfect world, everybody would have 20-30 pairs of boots. So this Mother’s Day, help your moms get a little closer to the perfect world and help her expand her shoe collection. And if your mom is practical like most people, and owns a pair of basic black or brown pair of boots, then it’s time to spice up her feet with a pair of eye catching red or turquoise boots.





I know what some of you are thinking, “My mom doesn’t really wear western boots.” Well unless you completely disregarded the last blog, you would know that Bootbarn.com is more than just western boots. We have something for every mom out there, including yours!

I don’t care what anyone says, no wardrobe is complete without a pair of cowboy boots. And if you already purchased flowers or chocolates, then I guess your mom will be receiving two gifts this year; flowers and a pair of shoes.
