Mom's Personal Shopper from TV's to Women's Perfume |
| 12/7/2009 5:31:40 PM |

I've mentioned before that I'm mom’s personal shopper for everything from TV's to women's perfume. I think that mom is one of those people that you could say loathes shopping, and luckily I happen to be on the opposite end of the spectrum and love it. I've said for years that I should be the personal shopper for celebrities because I believe even shopping for something as simple as women's perfume should reflect the person you're shopping for. After all, not all women like the same women's perfume, and the one that a person chooses should be as individual as the woman herself.
That's probably why I wasn't concerned or even remotely stressed when mom called me this morning to ask me if I could do some shopping for women's perfume for two of her friends, one of which is in a nursing home. Mom was in a panic because at first she didn't know what to get either of the women, and when I suggested perfume, she was thrilled at the idea, for about two seconds until she realized that it would mean actually choosing a women's perfume fragrance for each person. Luckily, I know one of the women and happen to know what she wears, so while I had mom on the phone, I ordered Beyond Paradise by Estee Lauder Women Eau De Parfum Spray Refill + .5 oz Eau De Parfum Spray Refillable -- Gift Set - .5 oz that I found at Carl Black whose online web shop can be found by visiting www.jigblack.com. I continued talking to mom about the other friend and I think I have a pretty good idea of which women's perfume to buy for her also, but I asked mom to check with the nursing home to make sure that women's perfume is allowed. Some places have pretty strict policies on that type of thing, so I wanted to make sure that I wouldn't be ordering the women's perfume in vain only for mom to have to find another gift for her friend.
As the subject switched to the Christmas menu this year, I told mom that I'd ordered the women's perfume and that it should arrive within a week. She was thrilled and also amazed that I'd ordered it that fast. We did sort out that we're having Christmas dinner at her house this year. Now we just need to decide who is bringing what and go from there. |
