Chloe Handbag -A Great Gift For Mom



My mom loves chloe handbags and she always pined for one. However, being a single parent, it had been extremely difficult for her to make both ends meet, let alone indulge in such luxuries. Because of that, I have always wanted to be able to give her one, but I too, was deterred by the price when I was young. As soon as I started working, I decided I would buy mom a chloe handbag as a gift for her birthday. I started my job in October. Her birthday was on 14th July - there was plenty of time to save some cash to make mom's dream some true.

A Story I Heard As A Child Was An Inspiration To Me

When I was a child I had read a lovely story about a mother who always sacrificed her dream for the needs of the house and her kids. A young girl fell in love with a young man and she hoped that when she married she would be given a diamond ring. However, since diamonds were always very expensive she never got one. After she was married she shared her dream with her husband who was drawing a good but not too high salary.

He was sensitive enough to understand this desire of his wife and they made a pact. They would save under the name of diamond project and as soon as the money required was saved, they would buy a diamond ring. The first time it just touched the mark, their first baby was born. A lot of expenses came up and the diamond fund went to fulfill that. Then, the second baby, then their higher studies, then their marriage. At last, when she was about sixty, her husband retired and with the money he received, he bought her the diamond ring.

Just then, she saw her young daughter-in-law announcing that they were expecting a baby in the fall. Smiling, she just took the ring and wanting to be a blessing to her daughter-in-law and son, she gave them the ring. She said, "I am too old now to really enjoy the beauty of this ice-on-fire. It is better that you wear it."

It took tremendous willpower to keep saving every month $50 for a year for mom's chloe handbag. After a year, I had $500-600 in my hand I felt a wonderful thrill in me. I rushed to a good designer label boutique and found the best looking chloe handbag I had ever seen. I bought it and when I reached home, I realized that there was no occasion to give mom a gift. Nonetheless, I gave it to her as soon as I reached home. Her stunned expression and glow of pleasure was all the reward I could ever dream of.
