Mother's Day gift ideas? BE CREATIVE...not just card and flowers?

Going out to eat, vases of flowers or containers of live plants, candy or bath items seem to be the most popular gifts to give Mom - but is it because she really loves them, or because you don%26#039;t know what else to give on Mother%26#039;s Day?





Take a hint from other gift giving occasions and don%26#039;t get stuck in a rut.





Give a gift of time for Mother%26#039;s Day. Make a promise and keep it, to spend a day with your mother, doing whatever she enjoys, whether that%26#039;s baking, garage saling or sky diving! Let it be her day, and let her choose which day it is, within reason.





A busy mother often lacks time for herself. She dreams about being able to take walks alone, stay in the shower more than 2 minutes and finish the book she started when you were born! Giving the gift of time isn%26#039;t so hard. What it means is that you take over some chores or a day%26#039;s worth of chores or watch younger siblings to allow her to do whatever she wants to do.





She doesn%26#039;t need to go anywhere (unless she wants to), or do anything special... just whatever she wants to do.





A clean house! This is another %26quot;take over the chores%26quot; type of gift, but with a twist. Having a clean house makes anyone feel good, so give a hand made gift certificate for cleaning time at her request. Make eight (or however many hours%26#039; worth you want to give) boxes on the certificate (or individual certificates) and in each one write %26quot;1 Hour.%26quot; She can choose whether she wants an hour a day for eight days, a full day%26#039;s work, or an hour or two here and there. What could make a homemaker happier?





You can do a one time job for her, like cleaning out a storage shed or washing and waxing her car. Washing windows on the house, or doing other heavy house cleaning are other possibilities.
