Mother’s Day is less than a week away but it is not too late to order terrific Mother’s Day gifts and have them arrive on time. Ashleigh and I shared our first podcast today to chat about our favorite options for last minute Mother’s Day gifts.

Show Notes:

• Flowers are obviously one of the first things that people think of for mom. Be sure that you understand the difference between flowers that are delivered via carrier and those that are same day delivery by local florists. Both are still available with plenty of time for delivery. Early delivery may be cheaper. Consider mixed bouquets or tulips rather than standard roses. (Get 1-800-FLOWERS coupons)
• Food and drinks are great for the moms who have everything. Mrs. Prindables has some great deals right now (Tricia’s favorite) including free shipping on select items. Another great choice is wine. You can get Cellars Wine Club deals plus they deliver to Indiana (and most other states). Other merchants mentioned: Harry & David, Fairytale Brownies, Cheryls, David’s Cookies.
• Jewelry is another standard choice but you can go traditional or bold with spring colors. Be sure to use Ice.com coupons or MyJewelryBox.com coupons because they can save you 20-25% off and both guarantee delivery by Mother’s Day still.
• Are gift certificates an appropriate gift for mom? They might be depending on the mom. If you do choose one, be sure that it is tailored specifically to her tastes so that she knows that you put some thought into it. Merchants mentioned: GiftCertificates.com, SpaWish, Spa Finder.

Don’t forget to check for coupons as well as cashback at all of the merchants above at Sunshine Rewards.

Do you ever get frustrated trying to qualify for our Daily Surveys and wonder how other people are making hundreds of dollars each quarter with them? We’ve listened to your feedback and started a new system that will help you earn more rewards even faster!

Survey Stoplight System

New surveys are loaded for each company throughout the day, and there are usually peak times that are easier to get surveys than others. Our red/yellow/green Survey Stoplight System will help you pick which surveys you should focus your time on. If a survey has a green light next to it, the majority of people who have tried that survey in the last few hours got one. These are the best surveys to start with this hour. If you see a yellow light, people are getting surveys and credits, but it is taking more tries and less people are qualifying. Start on these after you have tried everything with a green light. If a survey has a red light, no one has gotten credit for those surveys in the last few hours.

Visit the Survey Page to view all 8 of our daily surveys and see which surveys are hot and which surveys are cold this hour. Members are already reporting that they are spending less time on surveys and earning more money. You could be, too!
