Mommy Help Me

                        

Mother’s Day is just around the corner….but how do you shop handbags for your mom without her help or knowing it? Here are some handy dandy tips to help you before the big day comes and places where good deals are going down for the special occasion.

Tip 1

Go through your mom’s handbag collections. What kind of handbags does she tend to buy? Simple or more decorative? Hobo or Tote? Is there a brand that she loves and can’t get enough of or maybe need more of?

Tip 2

Choose handbags that have magnetic closures instead of buckles. They are easier to open and close, and lasts a lot longer than the typical buckle.

Tip 3

Pick a classic. If you’re not sure you can always ask a sales associate. There are some bags that are timeless and even though style and fashions come and go, there will always be pieces that are “In”.

Tip 4

Think about the things your mom likes to carry with her in her bag. If she carries a variety of things in addition to what you may think are necessities such as books and make-up, you might want to pick a bag that is more spacious. Does she like all of her things organized? Then compartments maybe the way to go.

Tip 5

Think about weight. If you mom doesn’t carry that much stuff with her, or if you know she has a bad back, opt for bags that are lighter. Lighter bags are usually made of all canvas or soft leather.
