So you missed Mother’s Day huh?

Written by , Posted in From Mama Mike

This past Sunday 12th May 2013, was Mother’s Day!

The one day that we set aside each year to honor our mothers.  A pretty strange idea right? Pretty strange that we only have  one day to celebrate mother’s around the world, especially because mothers do so much for us!

Not only do they give us life, they spend every day after giving us life, trying to make our lives more comfortable. While, they’re are probably no words that can express how grateful we are to our mothers, but that shouldn’t stop you from trying :) !

If you missed Mother’s Day, don’t fret, you can still tell your mom, “Nakupenda”.

Here are a few ways you can show your gratitude:-

Say It

African culture and the way in which we are socialized can make this a little hard. But say it anyway! If you can tell the object of your affection you love him or her, you should be able to tell it to the woman you love as well! You can call her or send her and e-mail but make sure you tell the woman that raised you how much she means to you as much as you can, while you still can.

Buy her a gift

This is our specialty! You don’t need a holiday to pamper your mom and tell her how special she is to you. Our gift hampers and vouchers are just the thing to make mom feel great.

We have a wide selection for you to choose from. Including:

Flowers and Flower baskets

Cake 

Chocolates 

Fruit Baskets

and Gift Hampers

It’s good to be able to treat your mom on Mother’s Day but it doesn’t have to be Mother’s day for you to show your
mom love and appreciation. You can and SHOULD do that any day of the year!

Tips on Gifts: April – May Edition

Written by , Posted in From Mama Mike, Life as it is

It is going to be May soon. The month when we are uncertain about the rest of the year but eagerly browsing for simple, affordable ways to impress; the month to make a lasting impression for the sake of the rest of the year. At the risk of making you seem out of touch, how will you keep these folks smiling this month? Our ‘here to rescue’ list of tips will help you figure out what to do.

  • Call them over the weekend. Nothing beats that Sunday evening phone call to your mother or father catch up on the latest in family politics and laugh about the good times that you wish you could share. Don’t forget to call up your younger brother/sister and find out what is going on. Those are the ones to look out for most, but you did not hear that from us.

They grow up fast and do all the things you did. Who would have thought that they were watching you the whole time?

  • Plan surprise parties – indulge your friends and relatives to make each birthday special. You can even add in gift hampers with thoughtful gifts that you would wish for them to have, despite your absence.

Yes, this takes time, but with proper planning and a touch of spontaneity here and there, you will get it right to a T.

  • Keep track of trends back home.  Tacky gift ideas are everywhere so guard your reputation by always finding over the top, fun gifts. Don’t get too thrifty, splurging once in a while is GOOD for you.

Watch those you love smile. It is by far the best gift to you.

Thank us later.

How did you spend your Easter?

Written by , Posted in From Mama Mike

Hi MamaMikerz!

How was your Easter? How did you spend it? Who did you spend it with?

We know from the news that the American first family spent theirs  hunting for Easter eggs on their front lawn ( pun intended).

We as MamaMikes staff, spent ours making deliveries and serving YOU our dear customers.

As Kenyans we  spent a great deal of our Easter taking stock of the recent Supreme Court decision to uphold President Uhuru Kenyatta’s election as President.

It was a long weekend folks. Filled with a mixture of happiness and tension. Nonetheless, we’re glad to say that there was peace!

Lent is upon us, what have you given up?

Written by , Posted in MamaMikes

Lent is upon us – well it’s been upon us since  February 13th and will be here until March 30th, but for those of you who don’t know or forgot,  we are here to remind you!

Lent is the  40 day period  before Easter. It’s part of the Catholic calendar and it’s a time of prayer and reflection.

During this time, christians are encouraged to give up luxuries, pray and give alms in readiness for Easter – the day christians believe Jesus ressurected.

The tradition of lent is believed to have been taken from the books of Matthew, Mark and Luke, when Jesus fasted for 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness before officially beginning his ministry.

Since this time is all about self-denial and reflection as well as sacrifice, many christians give up things that are considered luxuries like alcohol, sex ( believe it!), sweets, cigarettes and television.

If you completely forgot about lent or hadn’t yet jumped on the bandwagon, it’s not too late – you still have a little under 2 weeks.
