So Mother’s Day is this weekend and you want to go a little outside the norm of Flowers, Chocolates, Jewelery that uses annoying radio ads. Well look no further than some idea from yours truly. My mom, who just happens to be a gamer will be enjoying the fun of Apollo Justice this year. But here are some great ideas that I had if my mom wasn’t addicted to her new pink DS.
1. PopCap Games
Here is one that you can never go wrong with giving. PopCap games are like the gateway drug to the gaming world and with choices like Peggle, Zuma, and Bejeweled 2 you really can’t go wrong. Plus for Mother’s Day Popcap is donating 30% of your purchases to Susan G. Komen for the Cure for Breast Cancer. So you get the double feel good for the occasion.
2. XBox Live Points / Gametap
Yeah I know it is like giving you mom a gift card but the Xbox Live Arcade has some of the best classic games you mom would love to play again. While my mom knows her Xbox can go online it isn’t since she would need a really long ethernet cable so I can only recommend if A. It is online already or B. you are going to visit.
But now what if your mum doesn’t have a XBox 360 or is currently down with the RRoD. So go with a Gametap subscription gift and USB controller. Thier line up has a lot of great games like Sam and Max plus all your old favorites.
3. Nintendo DS / Touch Generation Titles
You really can’t go wrong with a Nintendo DS and any of the touch generation titles. Who doesn’t enjoy playing out Court Room drama in the Ace Attorney Series or solving brain teasers with Professor Layton.
4. iPod / mp3 Player
While this isn’t so much gaming related but you know your mom likes to rock out to her REO Speedwagon or Neil Diamond in peace. So why not an iPod or an mp3 Player! I think that the new low price on the iPod Shuffles make them a great gift for anyone. If you don’t care much for the Apple Flair you can always go with a Zune or an iRiver.
5.Wii Fit
Now this one is last for a good reason. First your Mom need to have a Wii and secondly you mom would also need or want to be active. But other than that the gift of helping you mom start getting in better shape is always a good gift. Plus little fitness add-on can keep the gifting ideas alive all year.
Well I hope this help out everyone with there last minute Mother’s Day preparations and let us know what you are thinking of giving your Mum for Mother’s Day.
