The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift in 2009 for the Woman who has Everything

Mother’s Day 2009 is coming sooner than you think: May 10th is less than two months away. Most moms will tell you they have everything they need – after all they have you! – and say they just want a card. But is that really true?

My mom is now in her 80s, so I’ve been focusing on getting her things she actually needs. For Christmas I bought Channellock® straight-jaw, tongue and groove pliers to open bottles and remove lids. For her birthday, I followed up with the clippers mentioned in My Favorite Tools, the Okatsune brand 7” shears. They’re so awesome she’s not sharing them with my dad, so now I have the perfect Father’s Day gift teed up.

Of course, my parents already have their BigSlider™ utility mover. But enough about us; let’s hear what others have to say about it.

• "Wanted to let you know that I gave my mother-in-law her slider and she was thrilled. She is a widow with a large yard, pool and garden. She is 72, very active, still works each day, and keeps up her yard and 1 1/2 acres of land....She does most of her outside work herself. She was so glad to have a way to move heavy stuff without hurting her back. Thanks again.” -- DT, Alabama
  

I also followed up with an avid-gardening customer who received it as a gift from her son. She said,

• “It’s amazing! I saved 90% of the work by not having to lift soil and pavers into the wheelbarrow.” -- Mrs. S, Iowa
  

And, for those of you who feel guilty about not being around to help your mom, here’s what one single mom had to say:

• “I would like to buy the one you let me borrow. It will come in handy around the house esp. since my son moved out and I do not have anyone around to move stuff for me.” -- JLF, Texas
  

The great thing about BigSlider is that it's truly designed to be a one-person tool. Finally, I received this sweet note from a customer just yesterday.

• "My mother, who recently passed away at 100 years old, always used a bit of carpet or a throw rug to move furniture around. I wish she was still here to see your wonderful invention...I used the slider a little while ago and it worked beautifully - just like in the videos. Thank you so much." -- CD, Minnesota
  

So now your question “What do I get Mom for Mother’s Day?” has an easy answer: a BigSlider™ Utility Mover!

Naturally, I have no idea what to get my Mom.
