Mother's
Day Gift Ideas 
"A gift is as a precious
stone in the eyes of him that hath it:
whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth."
~Proverbs 17:8~
- Flowers
are always a good choice of which FlowerPetal.com
has a great selection of
Mother's
Day flowers and if you can't
afford them then visit:
Annie's
Flower's and their Meanings Page
- You
can buy some Perfume,or a beautiful atomizer
bottle for her to use. My personal favorite
is "Paloma Picasso". My second choice
is Tresor by Lancome!!
- How
about some phone cards? This way they don't have
to worry about long distance phone
charges. You may have to explain how to use them
to Grandma or Mom.
- Hire
a Cleaning Lady for a couple of hours for your
Mother, GrandMother or Special
Aunt. Why
not give yourself the same present. But if you
can't afford to pay for this special service,
don't despair. You could do the cleaning for them
yourself as a present and take your older
children along as your helpers. It would be
"Mommy's Cleaning Service", and you
could make a
Gift Certificate like a professional service with
your phone number and have them confirm their
appointment.
- Find
a background that your mom would like at one of
the graphics sites at
Annie's
Graphics Page then use it for the
desktop on your computer. Just right click
on the one you like and choose "set as
wallpaper"
- Why
not make some personalized stationery, a calendar
or greeting cards with your computer
- A
Journal or blank book for her to write her
treasured memories in
- Print
and fill out these Mother's Day Certificates: "Best
Mom Award" by Billy Bear
- Hallmark has lots
of different things to offer!! I found some free
templates for stationary and
a
neat article about keeping
memories! Don't forget to
check out their version of
Hallmark
magazine!
- Invite
your Mom to come and visit for a weekend. She can
enjoy the grandchildren and maybe
babysit one night for you while she is there.
That way you can have a "date" with
your husband.
- A
"Rain Check Book" that you make with
special things that can be redeemed. For Example:
a hug; doing the dishes; setting the table;
babysitting and whatever your creativity can
think of........
- Take
your Mom to afternoon tea at a local
Bed & Breakfast or Tea Room. Dress up.....
you can even wear pretty hats too.
- Make
or buy a pretty new Bible Cover for her Bible
- Purchase
a NEW software program........
- How
about a Hardback Book by her favorite author or a
new Bible for her.
- A CD
of her favorite Christian Artist or maybe a
Classical one
- You
could make a lovely gift basket. Be creative.
Maybe use a theme of Gardening or Crafts
or Reading. For Reading you could have bookmarks,
books, Journal, Dictionary, Book cover,
magnifying glasses, one of those little night
lights for the bed......you are only limited
by your creativity.
- Buy a
NEW Tea Cup and Saucer, make sure to include some
special herbal teas. My mom had a
collection of beautiful tea cups and saucers, but
no two were the same. It made tea time or
having company much more fun. I always liked to
set the cups out for Mom, that way I could
see which one was my favorite. You would almost
never get the same tea cup. They were all
different colors, shapes and sizes. Mom would
also buy the really special sugar cubes with
little
designs on them. For some tea information and
links visit: Annie's Teatime Page
- Ideas for the
children: You might want to
encourage the children to make their own greeting
cards. They are also a treasured memory and will
be put on the coffee table for the visitors to
look at. This is a way to teach them that it
isn't always an expensive gift that will touch
someone's heart. For some more ideas visit: Annie's Mother's Day
Kid's Page
- This
is a Great Photo House from Billy
Bear to print & make. It is a gift that can
be
for both Mom and Grandma!

T-shirt Printing - If you have an
artistic side, think up some designs that would mean
something
to Mom and have one printed on a t-shirt. If youre
better with words, try and think
of something meaningful you can have printed.

A New Gift Idea from Annie:
Mother's Day Bath Basket: You can make a Mother's Day
Bath Basket!! Just put
soaps, bubble bath, scented candles and a few other
things that your Mom likes
in a basket with a big bow on top. Of course you can put
more in it or less.
Just do what you feel is best for your own Mom. I'm sure
she will love whatever
you do for her!! Related Craft Idea Pages: Bath Salts for Mom & Bath Tea Bags
