Mother’s Day is one of the busiest times of the year for gifts. Everyone has a mother, and many send their mom a Mother’s Day gift in recognition of all that she has done for them. If you’ve sent her flowers for the past several years, you might be looking to buy something different. Finding the right gift every year can be challenging, so here are a few unique ideas on what to buy for a Mother’s Day gift this year:

- A new plant for her garden. If your mom loves gardening, try buying her a plant. There is always room for another plant in any garden. Check with a local nursery to find one that will grow in your area. To make it extra special, include a card and offer to plant it for her. The plant will be a living reminder of your gift each time she is out in her garden.

- Mother’s Day Cookies or Bouquet. You probably ate a lot of mom’s cookies as a kid, so this year why not send her some in return? You can find lots of cookie designs at online gift stores, or try your local bakery to see what they can make for you. Heart and flower shapes are the most popular for Mother’s Day cookie gift bouquets. Personalizing the cookies can make your gift even more memorable.

- Coupon for Housework or Home Improvements. Most moms always have plenty of housework that needs to be done, or ideas on improvements they’d like to make to their homes. You can make a homemade “coupon” offering your services to assist her with any of these tasks. Cleaning her windows or re-painting a room in her house would make a great Mother’s Day gift.

- Mother’s Day Gift Basket. You can make a gift basket for mother’s day or purchase one online. If you decide to make one, pick out some gourmet food items that she would enjoy. You can also add a few items based on her hobbies, be it seeds for the gardener, a book for moms that like to read, or something else your mother does for her hobby. Wrap your gift basket in a big gift bag and top it off with a bow to make a great presentation.

- An escorted shopping spree. A lot of moms don’t take the time to go shopping for themselves or spend their clothes money on the kids instead. If your mom’s wardrobe hasn’t been updated in awhile, offer to take her to her favorite store for a new outfit. You can help her pick out something she likes, and she’ll wear your new gift proudly the next time she is out.

Whatever Mother’s Day gift you choose, make sure you buy it with her interests in mind and make sure to ship it or hand deliver it on time.

Sigh…time REALLY flies and it’s time to appreciate the job that I do again this year. Oh, it’s really quite sad, don’t you think? I commit myself to my family 365 days a year, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week and all I get is 1 day in return…for others to show me that they appreciate what I do for them. Yeah, I know…who said life is fair, right? Motherhood is reduced to nothing but one commercialized day to celebrate it.

So, here’s what I suggest we do…Mother’s Day should be EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE YEAR. Do I hear hoots of happiness from mothers reading this article? Yeah!!

Saying “I love you”

It’s hard for us to tell our parents that we love them….so, it should be of no surprise at all to discover that…hey, it’s tough for our kids or spouses to tell us that they love us too, huh? But make it a point to start telling our mothers or the people who have contributed significantly to your life that you love them. it’s important although they are merely three relatively insignificant words strung together. Why wait for mother’s day to say it? Say it everyday….say it on your way out to work, school or other activities. Surprise your mother or spouse with these words when they’re least expecting it!

Simple gifts means a lot

Some people think that in order to show their mothers how much they are loved with expensive gifts like jewelry but you know what? As a mother, I can tell you something for sure….we don’t really care about expensive gifts! If it’s there, fine. If it’s not, something as simple as a self-drawn card is all it takes to make us happy! And I seriously mean it. And you know what else? I actually prefer a stalk of rose to a whole bunch of them! so, the bottom line is that mothers don’t need expensive gifts. Show your mother how much you love them and appreciate them with simple stuff instead.

Helping out is more meaningful

The work of a mother is continuous and endless because every time she completes something or cleans something up, something else gets messed up! It’s true. So, as a mother, we have work every minute of the day! So, if you don’t have a budget for a mother’s day gift, why not give your mother a day off and help out around the house instead. Let me tell you this…a day off is heaven-sent gift for me!
