With Mother’s Day here, don’t forget dear old mom. Show just how special she is with a gift that will make her feel awesome.
1. An activity for two: Find an activity or an event to attend that will make her day exciting. Take her to a jewelry making class or visit the newest exhibit. Groupon.com offers great deals on activities and ticket prices, so check what’s going on in your city. If you are away at school, tell her what you’ve got planned for the next time you see her.
2. Photo Creations: Take a special photo of you and your mom and make it into something creative like a photo pillow, T-shirt, or even a life size cut out.
3. Trendy Makeup: Every mom wants to feel pretty. Pick out some new makeup and offer to show her the latest makeup trends.
4. Heartfelt Card: If you’re tight on cash, send mom a cute card with a special letter. Don’t forget to list all the ways she’s been there for you all these years. Your birth wasn’t as easy and painless as she claims!
5. Time: Moms really just want some good old fashioned time with their kids. Spend the day doing something she’s been begging you to do with her. If it’s something you normally would refuse to take part in, like gardening or line dancing, agree just this once.
Moms are special people who need to be recognized. A little gesture is all it takes- even if it is a simple Skype date just to say thanks.
