Ascending Butterfly's Mothers Day Buying Guide Pick Sponsored by:

We are now launching our fourth gift in our first annual Mothers Day Buying Guide! We started with the gift of CleanRest (giveaway ends on 04/28), followed by the gift of cream perfume (giveaway ends on 05/01), the gift of One Dozen Long Stemmed Roses and Godiva Truffles HERE (giveaway ends on 05/03),  and now we are moving on to a gift that will allow you to pamper mom, the 'Serene Spring Spa Gift Tower' from 1800Baskets.com!

(And while it's not an official part of the Mother's Day Buying Guide, the current bag being featured in our 'Spring Into Bags' 2010 Special Feature would be perfect for mom, (this bag comes with changing pad and wipes box, perfect for a new mom, but stylish enough and roomy enough to make a perfect day-to-day bag! Check out the Lexie Butterfly Tote giveaway HERE)

The mother's day buying guide will encompass the rest of April and the entire month of May! So while some giveaways will close after Mother's Day itself, the month will still be dedicated to saying Thank You to our moms. For all the daily ways they show us they love us that sometimes go unheralded. While I think you should show your mom you love her everyday, mother's day should be extra special!

Is your mom the one that will give the shirt off her back to anyone? The one that makes sure you and the family always have everything they need but forgets to treat herself?

Today's Mothers Day Buying Guide Pick takes care of HER. Would you have to drag your mom kicking and screaming to step foot in a spa and be pampered? Well then, bring the spa to her, she'll love you all the more for it!

My absolute favorite way to relax is with a long hot bath. I like to draw a bath and I love scented products, turning 'tub time' into at home 'spa time' gives me much needed time to get centered and simply does boost my spirits!

The 'Serene Spring Spa Gift Tower' from 1800Baskets.com is pure delight for the senses, from the ultra cute packaging (that can be re-purposed once you've finished with all the products to hold keepsakes and stationery too! it can also be placed on your dresser to hold jewelry (and yes, that's a HINT ladies of things to come!) to the amazing contents including spa and bath products and a super indulgent package of Godiva Chocolate 'Gems' (These truffles are definitely 'gems' for your mouth!). I absolutely love this tower of treats, and the only negative I can find is that eventually I will run out, thankfully this hasn't happened yet!

NOTE: Readers have asked us to make entering the contests and giveaways, faster and easier. Your wish is our command! We have moved our 'Today's Butterfly - Featured Site(s) of the day, which is where we host our giveaways, to the upper right hand side of the page. It will be located here from now on to make entering the giveaways faster and easier. Keep the suggestions coming, remember we also have a NING group with real time chat, you can give us your comments and suggestions in REAL time, how cool is that?

NOTE 2: Twitter followers: please remember you must also follow Ascending Butterfly using Google friends connect on the upper right hand side of the page for your entries to be processed. And remember if your profile does not have an email and you don't leave your email in your entry, we will not accept your entry. Make sure your entry or your profile have your email address!

Just a helpful Reminder: How to Follow Using Google Friends Connect:

Please look to the upper right hand side, where the follower pictures are. (Note the number of followers before you start this process)

1) press the follow button - the google pop up wizard will open, this is not an ad and your pop up blocker will not block it

2) tick the option that reads 'follow this blog publicly' once that button is selected, hit follow again - it should now read 'you are now following'

3) if the follower count went up you know you did it succesfully, if your profile has a picture, that picture will be the first one on the left side. If your profile doesn't have one, it should still be searchable on the members list. (Remember, following a blog, does NOT subscribe you to receive emails, you have to subscribe separately to do that, you will not receive emails for following)

Are you getting the dreaded 'Your Entry Can't Be Processed' message when leaving an entry or comment? Before hitting enter, highlight your comment and COPY it. If you get that message after hitting enter and your comment is still there, just ignore the message and hit enter again, then you will get a screen with a captcha code, enter the captcha code, then submit and VOILA. If after you hit the submit button the first time, you get the dreaded message and the comment 'disappeared' no worries, that's why I asked you to copy it in the first step. Paste it back in and submit again. This has worked for me when comment boxes have glitched on me, and I hope it helps you too!
