| We know that every mom is different, and that your mom is unique. We all have a special mom in our lives -- and whether she's your grandmother, a close friend with kids, your own mother (or step-mom, or mother-in-law), or the mother of your children, there is no one quite like your favorite mom! So this Mother's Day, we want to help you find the perfect gift for the special, one-of-a-kind mom in your life. We want to help you find a gift she'll love -- a gift that fits her personality perfectly -- a gift she will treasure -- and a gift she will actually use and enjoy! |
To that end, we're proud to introduce the first installment in our six-part Something for Every Mom Mother's Day gift ideas series of articles. That's right -- six parts! Six articles jam-packed with fabulous Mother's Day gift ideas! Hang onto your keyboard and keep your eyes on the screen, because we're pulling out all the stops this Mother's Day!
Without further ado, here's Part One of our Something for Every Mom series: Gift Ideas for the Working Mom.
We all know that being a mom is hard work. This is especially true when Mom has to balance motherhood with a career! Between taking care of the kids and putting in a hard day on the job, working moms really do deserve the very best on Mother's Day.
| For moms who work in an industrial setting, whether in a factory, on a construction site, or in any other loud setting, the perfect gift for your working mom might be something that combines hearing protection with the ability to listen to music. For a low-profile, in-ear solution, we recommend Ear Buds for OSHA-Controlled Work Environments. Or if mom has sensitive ears, or just prefers an over-the-ear hearing protector, a set of AM/FM Radio Earmuffs (especially the kind with audio input) may be just the ticket. Both of these great gifts will protect mom's hearing while letting her listen to the music she loves, to make those work days go by faster (and more safely!). As an added bonus, these hearing protectors with music capability are also great for use around the house -- think vacuuming, mowing the lawn, etc. |
| For moms who work in an office setting, a Marsona SoundScreen White Noise Machine would make a fabulous gift. Whether she has a cubicle or a corner office, this discreet little white noise machine will easily fit on her desk to let her mask out unwanted, distracting workplace noises, so she can have a more focused and peaceful work day. And if Mom spends a lot of her office hours on the phone, a shiny new telephone headset can make all those phonecalls a lot more comfortable. No more neck cramps, or trying to type one-handed! The Sennheiser Telephone Headset Model CC-510, a monoaural over-the-head telephone headset with a flexible ultra-noise-canceling boom mic, in particular, would make for a really oustanding gift. |
| Lastly, for any busy mom on the go, a hands-free cell phone headset would make a great Mother's Day gift! The Shure SE115M Sound Isolating™ Music/Phone Headset with Inline Microphone and Inline Button Control is one of our favorites; with hands-free talking capability and high-quality music listening, Mom can plug this cell phone headset into her iPhone or any other music-capable phone. This will let her talk on the phone or listen to music safely while going to and from work (or anywhere else!). And since the price we show on our website is a MAP price set by the manufacturer, if you place your order by phone, you can get an even better price than the one we can show you online! |
Please be aware that wearing headphones or earphones while driving is not allowed in some states; please make sure to check your local laws before recommending that your mom use her cell phone headset while driving!
Working moms really do double-duty, and we think they deserve extra love and care this Mother's Day. With one of the above gifts, you can show Mom how much you appreciate all her hard work, while making her working hours more pleasant and comfortable, too!
Stay tuned for more great Mother's Day gift ideas in tomorrow's installment of Something for Every Mom, from Ear Plug Superstore.
Until next time, be safe and do the right thing.
