What to give your mother on Mother’s day?

Have you already thought what to give your mother on her special day? While, it may seem overwhelming for you to please your mother, you would be surprised that your gift need not be expensive to show your love to the most special woman in your life.

I conducted a random survey among family, friends and acquaintances, what they would give their moms on Mother’s day, and I got the following answers.

Flowers and Personalized Greeting Cards

Flowers remain to be the favorite gift of most people to their mothers. Red roses still land on the top spot. Some choose to give other types of flowers, depending on the preference of their mother; while some wants to give three, a dozen or more flowers, depending on their budget.

Those students, and some people on a budget, decided to make a personalized greeting card for their mothers. Some would write poems or personalized messages to make the card more special.

Dress and Accessories

Girls I’ve talked to will give lovely dress and accessories to their mothers. Of course, we all want our mothers to look fabulous on their special day. A pair of earrings, plus cool bracelet and an elegant dress will do.

Make-up Kit

No matter how busy they are with workloads or at household chores, our mothers also need to freshen a bit, and put some make-up, like any single women do. When they look good, they can also feel good about themselves.

Non-expensive, but high- quality make-ups are available, you just have to make a little research to find them. Ask friends who know a lot about make-up.

Laptop and Cell phone

Those with higher budget for a mother’s day gift can go for laptop and cell phone. In this digital age, everyone now has a laptop or a cell phone. Some people I asked don’t want their mothers to be left out, and of course, they want to communicate with them regularly.

You don’t need to spend a fortune for these gadgets. There are models that are affordable, and, are just suitable for starters.

Also, it is important to choose a model that is user-friendly, and does not have complicated features. Allot some time to teach your mother how to use these gadgets, so you will be able to spend quality time with her as well.

After a tiring day at work, or at home, our mothers just deserve a relaxing treat

It can also be a form of family bonding.

Hair treatment Package

Most moms forget to take good care of their hair, so some people I asked, said, they will give a hair treatment package to their mothers.

A Vacation Package

Mother’s day can also be a time for many to relax and go on a vacation. Whether you want to go out-of-town, or out-of-the-country, what matters most is the bonding that the family will have.

Make sure also to pamper your mother while on a vacation. Make her your queen, and don’t give her a single reason to feel bad. Remember it’s her day!

A Personalized cake

Those who know how to bake prefers to give their mothers a personalized cake with touching greetings—of course, any gift that are personally made are more special—plus, she will have something to blow on her special day.

A dinner date

For those who don’t want to cook at home, you can bring your mothers to a restaurant with the whole family. Of course, don’t forget to take pictures. Roses for your mother can also make the day more special.

Do the household chores of your mother

For those who don’t have budget at all, you can simply please your mother by doing all her household chores.
Just for one day, let her relax, and rest the whole day. A massage from her children will do the trick.
