Why thse categories? Because the ever-inventive folks at Trade Me have come up with a Mother’s Day Gift Finder, which will send extra traffic to those categories (click this link for more details on exactly which categories and sub-categories qualify). Might as well try and get found where the punters are getting sent!
PS Try to use the words ”gift” and “mother” or “mum” in your headline, for optimum impact.
PPS Of course you can list your offerings in other categories if they belong elsewhere. Just understand that you will miss out on some of the genetically-modified traffic supplied by Trade Me’s latest transient promotional feature.
