She's your favorite cook, baker and bottle-washer. She's your staunchest supporter and always there with a listening ear. She owns a collection of incriminating baby bathing photos and loves to recall those most embarrassing moments. Mom. Mommy. Mum. Whatever name you call her, your mom is one of the most important people in your life. With Mother's Day fast approaching, following are some great ideas for celebrating all she means to you.
Mother's Day is a wonderful occasion for hosting a brunch in your mother's honor. Serve up some delicious homemade dishes, such as buttermilk pancakes, omelets and fruity mimosas. Invite the family over, spread the table with your finest dishes, and decorate with mom's favorite flowers, including a special corsage the guest of honor. Nothing brings a smile to mom's face quite like having her family gathered around her for a special meal.
Bath and Spa Gifts
For the woman who works nonstop, why not treat your mom to a day at the spa? Look for special Mother's Day offers. Indulge together in a full-body massage, a pedicure, or new hairdos. Afterward, take mom out to lunch for some "girl" time over a delicious meal. If your budget doesn't allow for a spa day, why not create your own spa bath and spa gifts? Delicious-smelling body scrubs can be easily created from Epsom salts or sugar and essential oils. Epsom salt is also the base for creating bath snowballs tinted in colors you choose. Select a set of colorful new bath towels and place your bath items together in a basket tied with a beautiful organza ribbon.
Gift Baskets
Moms love gift baskets brimming with fun items in a variety of themes of styles to match their unique personality. Does mom love to garden? Read? Cook? Perhaps she adores chocolate, old movies, or the great outdoors. You can easily create a gift basket around your mom's interests or hobbies. If appropriate, include a gift card or tickets to an event that matches the theme of the gift basket. Invite the grandkids to participate in this project, perhaps creating crafty items to include in the basket.
Handmade Gifts
Moms and grandmothers love handmade items crafted with love and care. The options are limitless. For example, take a photo of the family or grandkids and create your own frame to hold the photo. Or have the grandkids create a special handprint t-shirt for grandma using colorful wash-safe paints. Write a poem for your mom. Make handmade cards using construction paper, buttons, yarn and any other items you have on hand.
Jewelry
Presenting mom with jewelry on Mother's Day is a meaningful gesture as it signifies the thought, time and resources it required to purchase the gift. Unlike the gift of flowers, jewelry continues to bring happiness to the recipient, even many years from now. There are a wide range of Mother's Day jewelry choices which incorporate the theme with birth stones, special sentiments and fun designs. Before choosing jewelry for mom, consider her tastes and personality. Take a look in mom's jewelry box for inspiration. Examine the styles or finishes she wears most often. Jewelry is a no-fail gift for Mother's Day.
For those who want to achieve the "wow" factor on Mother's Day, consider a charm bracelet. Some moms may be well familiar with the charm bracelets of their youth, but today's styles have grown up, offering sophisticated, beautiful and exciting choices. Danish-inspired charm bracelets especially are appropriate choices for moms of all ages. The charm bracelet's threaded sections allow a woman to change the look as she wishes. Choose charms and beads designed from 14K gold, sterling silver or Murano glass. Add beads in her favorite colors or the colors of her family's birthstones to create a charm bracelet uniquely hers; a charm bracelet that reminds her she's the very best mom in the world.
