The gift that won't get thrown away

Mother's Day is May 13 and you've waited until the last minute (again). Here are four mistakes to avoid:

Mistake One: It was obviously Purchased at the Gas Station - A bag of corn snacks along with a a plastic rose covered with dust is not an appropriate gift for Mother's Day. Enough said.

Mistake Two: It's the Wrong Size - Huge minefield here! A gift of clothing that is too big or (worse yet) too small is likely to hurt her feelings and will most likely land in a pile of things to take to Goodwill or perhaps just get chucked directly into the trash when you're not looking.

Mark your calender, it's time for fun.

We all know about the familiar holidays, like President's Day Valentine's Day and the Fourth of July, but there are a lot of lesser known days to celebrate. I found this web site on the internet. Here is a collection of wacky, weird, silly and known to party about. Click to see a year of fun. Click here for Wacky Holidays

Got someone special? Valentine's Day is the time to let them know how you feel. Wife, husband, daughter, son or just a friend, Binleys has the perfect way to send the message.

Ladies, if you don't think your guy will like some of the traditional gifts we offer, don't worry, we have something he is sure to love. Consider a dish garden arrangement of plants for his desk or really surprise him with our "Beer" My Valentine arrangement (see below).
