I would like to talk about a gift that I gave to my mother on her recent birthday. I gave her a juicer. I was very confused at first when I was trying to find out a gift for her. I usually give her something like photo frames or dresses or jewelry on her birthdays or wedding anniversary or Mother’s Day but this time I wanted to choose something that can bring out the best in her and I wanted to actually motivate her to choose healthy habits in her life. My mother loves tea you know and she is very very big fan of sweets. She put so much sugar in the tea and drink five times a day. I wanted to explain to her but she never understood me. So this time on her birthday I chose to bring her a juicer. I gave it to her and I also added skipping rope in it. So I wanted to actually motivate her because she was gaining a lot of weight. So I brought this gift. I was actually nervous at first because I thought she would not like it but she actually really liked it and she was so happy to see that I brought a juicer for her. She did not understand my intentions. I explained to her that I want to encourage her and motivate her to choose healthy drinks instead of tea. All the time she tried to understand me but the actual good news was to me after a month she called me and she told me that she lost like two pounds and she explained that this juicer really made a positive impact on her life and she chose to drink juice instead of tea when it comes to her

I would like to talk about a gift that I gave to my mother on her recent birthday. I gave her a juicer. I was very confused at first when I was trying to find a gift for her. I usually give her something like photo frames, dresses, or jewelry on her birthdays, wedding anniversaries, or Mother's Day, but this time I wanted to choose something that could bring out the best in her, and I wanted to motivate her to adopt healthy habits in her life. My mother loves tea, and she is a very big fan of sweets. She puts so much sugar in her tea and drinks it five times a day. I wanted to explain to her, but she never understood me. So this time, on her birthday, I chose to give her a juicer. I also added a skipping rope to it. I wanted to motivate her because she was gaining a lot of weight. I was actually nervous at first because I thought she would not like it, but she really liked it and was so happy to see that I brought a juicer for her. She did not understand my intentions. I explained to her that I wanted to encourage her to choose healthy drinks instead of tea. All the time, she tried to understand me, but the actual good news for me came after a month when she called me and told me that she lost two pounds.
