Last Minute Fantasy Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Filed under: Children, Dragons, Unicorns — barbaraburns May 1, 2008 @ 10:15 pm

I happen to love stuffed animals … they are a fabulous gift for me any holiday so I can speak with authority as a Mom expecting a Mother’s Day gift this year - stuffed animals are cute, cuddly and adorable … they make great pets too … no clean up … no walking them … no noise … except when you buy noisy stuffed animals - I do have a stuffed dog that barks [my daughter bought it for me one Christmas]… I bought my daughter a stuffed frog one year that croaked as a fun joke gift … she loved it and laughed a lot … for Valentine’s Day, I bought her a stuffed animal with a baby .. was it a bear? Not sure … but they are gorgeously fluffy and look marvelous on the sofa table.

Stuffed animal noise makers … they don’t HAVE to be noisy … we can choose if they are noisy or not … whereas … Miss Sugar Plum .. she chooses if she is going to bark or not … and for how long.

And if you don’t think stuffed animals would be a good idea for your Mom or Grandma … there is always the standby that nearly ALL Moms love to get … flowers … or maybe one of my other favorites too .. chocolate in a new coffee cup with the family latest pictures on them?

For Love of Dragons by Stella Strout

A knight sleeping with a dragon is not exactly what one thinks of when hearing the words knight and dragon together in the same sentence :) … but it is a wonderful contrast and unexpected visual that makes one stop and consider other possibilities than just just knights hunting down dragons to kill them … fantasy books have long partnered dragons and knights as more than just foes to the death … some dragons are good and wise while others are to be tracked to their lairs for final death thrusts from swords … both can be in the same book so why not paintings of knight and dragon partnerships too?

This would be a wonderful addition to anyone’s fantasy art collection. The dragon scale detail is marvelous and took a long time to accomplish. The tattoo art on the knight is a bit unexpected as well … most knights are not pictured with tattoos … usually their armor covers them from head to toe so not much if any of their body or faces are ever seen. Great job!
