2. Hand made cards. There is nothing i treasure more then my children's artwork, and when its specifically a card, its very sweet.
3. Time off such as a mini vacation, hotel night, day at the spa. As a busy mom, getting a break would be wonderful once in a while. Even if its a special time out with my family, such as a trip to the zoo, or a night at a hotel and a movie. If its just my husband and I, or even a trip out by myself, just some time where I'm not thinking about housework and issues is great. Another idea here is to make her a special meal and a cake. Home made is always a hit, and it shows her just how much you love her.
4. Family trip, take her somewhere special from the whole family.
5. Something from her interests, If she likes to garden, get garden supplies, or something shes been craving to use. Moms who like to cook, a new cookbook or baking supplies. A reader may appreciate books by her favorite author, or a gift certificate to a book store.
6. Bath and body gifts, her favorite lotion, scent, perfume, bath salts scented candles. Most moms love to get lotion, perfumes and bath salts. Little bits of pampering. One year my mother got a massage oil set for mothers day, she really loved it.
7. Handwritten letter from kids, or poem from kids about her. Getting personalized letters from the children is like getting art or cards from them. Something she will treasure for years to come.
