If you want to get a sense of scale, take a look at Disney by the numbers:
- 86 Academy Awards have been won by Disney as of the year 2005.
- 20 million copies of Finding Nemo sold in the first 14 days.
- 48 million units sold of Finding Nemo worldwide.
- 70.7 million in box office sales for the opening weekend for the Incredibles.
- 46 movie releases that have grossed over $100 million domestically.
What all that really means is there are an awful lot of Disney moms out there. This Mother’s Day, it might be nice to get them a little something more than another coffee mug that says, Time for Beauty to Unleash the Beast.
This time, maybe put in a little effort. There is a time for cute and a time for elegance. This Mother’s Day, try a touch of elegance with these gift ideas:
Disney-themed Roses
What’s better than the smell and color of a dozen luxury roses? Not much, but you could try Disney-themed roses. From Magic Hearts to Frozen, you can find the perfect touch of elegance with the perfect theme for the Disney mom in your life.
The thing we sometimes forget about moms is that they are still women. They still want to feel beautiful and special, and sometimes, just a bit pampered. Between sack lunches and loads of dirty socks, that fact often gets lost. Mother’s Day is one of those occasions that reminds us that the woman we married is not just the mother of our children, but also the love of our life.
Some of the greatest love stories ever told come badged with a Disney title screen. So this Mother’s Day, don’t forget the custom jewelry, the glass slippers, and the dozen luxury roses.
Hard to Find Disney Movies
It is not uncommon for Disney to put out an instant classic, release it on DVD, BlueRay, then lock it in a vault of the next 50,000 years. It certainly feels that way. If the mom on your list happens to be in love with one of those instant classics that are completely out of print, you’ve got some digging to do.
Fortunately, the internet is full of people who have movies that they want to sell. This might mean you have to go on sites like Craigslist and eBay to find that perfect gift. But that extra effort is also what makes the gift so special.
There are many Mother’s Day gift ideas for last-minute, budget type situations. While a BlueRay is not the most elegant possible gift, scoring a rare movie does show that you put some planning and effort into the gift. That is actually what gives the gift its value.
The Caribbean Without the Pirates
Don’t forget, Pirates of the Caribbean is a Disney Property. That means that a trip to the Caribbean is still a Disney gift for a busy Mother. Because at the end of the day, what a mother most needs is a vacation.
A three day Caribbean cruise is a lot less expensive than you think. But if you have the time and money to spare, nothing beats a Disney cruise for a Disney mom. Perhaps the Disney kids can stay with the Disney grandparents. What’s important is that you don’t cheat your beloved out of a relaxing vacation by making her play mom on her Mother’s Day vacation.
You will find the appropriate Disney gift for every price range. This year, add a touch of elegance to the gift list with Disney-themed roses, rare movies you had to hunt down, and a pirate-free trip to some place nice.
