Will Unemployment Rate Spoil Mother's Day?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 29, 2009 -- The U.S. unemployment rate and layoffs climbed to decades high levels and first-time claims for unemployment insurance surged for the 12th consecutive week. The official jobless rate is currently at 8.5% with over 6 million unemployed people nationwide.

People everywhere are tightening their belts and cutting all but their most critical expenses. How will the dire shortage of discretionary funds affect gift giving, especially with Mother's Day fast approaching? No one wants to tell their mother, "Sorry Mom, I just can't afford to show you how much I care this year."

A better solution to this problem is to find more creative and inexpensive gifts. Creating your own flower arrangements instead of using a florist will save you money and Mom will appreciate that personal touch.

Take your mother for a stroll through the park, visit the botanical gardens, or have a picnic at one of her favorite spots. Send flowers that you pressed at home or make homemade chocolate dipped flower petals. If your mother has a green thumb, give her some flowers to plant in her garden or in pots in her home.

With just a little creativity you can amaze your mom with the Mother’s day flowers she receives this year. So think out of the box and remember, you are only limited by your imagination.
