Make Mom Feel Special!!!

Mother's day is a day to let your mom know that everything she has done for you has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. Mom's provide a support, love and generosity that no one else can give you. They have been there to give those special healing kisses or that piece of advice that has put everything into perspective. They have been your cheerleader your entire life and have loved you with every piece of their heart since before you were born. Mom is the one person you know you can count on no matter what and that is why they deserve to feel special for at least one day out of the year. I know several amazing mothers who are inspirational and deserving of an incredible gift. Now as a new mother (my son will be 9 months old this mother's day), it has given me a whole new appreciation for my mother and made me realize why this day is so important.

So what can you get them that will make them feel special? I have several ideas and options for you. First of all I want you to think about your mother and figure out what she loves to do. Not the things she has to do but what does she love to do. If she likes to garden then a gardening basket would be a fun gift. You could include a new pair of gardening gloves, some tools, some seeds of her favorite plants, a book about certain herbs or plants and something to enjoy while waiting for those plants to grow (like a nice bottle of wine or her favorite snacks). You could just give her a basket of all the sweets she loves like her favorite candy, cakes, brownies and cookies. If she loves coffee then you could do a gourmet coffee gift inside a large coffee mug. It could include a new flavor of coffee, some biscotti or a creamer that she would love. Is she a wine connoisseur? Then a gourmet basket with her favorite wine with chocolates or cheese and gourmet crackers. Does she love movies? Give her a movie basket with popcorn, candies, sodas and either movie passes or a new movie.

Now every mother works unbelievably hard and gives her all to her family so for mother's day you could give her a way to relax and rejuvenate. You could give her a spa day basket with bubble bath, an eye mask, new lotion, loofah and a gift certificate for a massage. Another idea is to give her a new book, a new blanket to snuggle up with, a favorite beverage, snacks and some alone time to enjoy it all. Maybe those husbands out there could take the kids out for the day letting mom rest and relax and do whatever she wants for a day (not necessarily mother's day but as a gift take them out another day).

The most important thing to give to your mother is to tell her how much you love her and appreciate her. Let her know that all the things she does for you on a daily basis mean the world to you. Personalize the gift to your mother so she knows that you pay attention to her. Oh and if you can't think of anything else jewelry always works wonders with most women :) If you would like us here at Caring Expressions Gift Baskets to help you out with a gift we would love!
