Perfect Presents for Mom on Her Special Day
Do you always search for a unique, exciting
gift for Mom. You have bought flowers, candy,
jewelry, and offered pictures of your kids and
you. But this year, you want something really
different, something really special. Here is a
list of suggestions that might just fit the
bill.
Create a website for your mother to share with her friends and
family. You can add pictures of her as she was growing up. Or
turn the site into a tour with pictures of all of her vacations that
you can find from friends and relatives. Take old family photographs
and turn them into a family genealogy tree. Make a sweetheart page
and add pictures of all of her grandchildren as her sweethearts. You
can also write a page that just tells her how wonderful you think
she is. List all the times that she was there for you or inspired
you to do something. Can be a great bragging page to her friends or
just make her feel better and loved every time she clicks in and
reads it.
If your Mom isn't an Internet user, you can create a love
book. Add photos of her children as they were growing up. Each
one will bring back a special story to your Mom. Find old cards she
has collected over the years and put them together in a memory book.
And memories of your childhood can be written as Letters to Mom.
Write about the times she listened to your sadness and your joy.
Tell her how important it was to have those private little talks
with her. Thank her for how she taught you how to fish, or how to
sew.
Create a "do-gooder" jar. Add little notes on how you will
do good things for her during this next year. These little notes
will be promises that she can pick out the jar each week. They may
be mowing her yard, picking up your room, an afternoon ice cream
date, vacuuming the house without complaining, painting the outside
of her house, or taking her on a picnic.
Treat your Mom to a Day at the Spa. Most Spas have gift
coupons for massages, mud bathes, and all of their tempting
delights. If you live in the same area, make it a Mother and Child
day followed by lunch. If you live in another city or state, call a
Spa close to your Mom and purchase the gift coupon to be sent to
your mother.
