Ususaly thats the same process I go through every year with my mom, I go and I never know what to get her(She's very picky, so I can't just get anything) so this year I decided to get her something useful . For example, she just got a new computer, so she is very into her computer, so I think I am going to get something relating to her computer for her. So my suggestion is, if your mom is into something , try a gift along those lines to kinda add to her hobby kinda thing.
Hope that helps

I'm taking my mom out to brunch at a local resort. We've never done anything like that for Mother's Day, and I know that she'll enjoy not having to cook.

How about getting her a spa package? If she's not the spa type, maybe tickets to a concert? I'm getting my mom a membership to the botanic gardens - she loves to garden, so this is just her thing!

I took your advice. My mom recently got into gardening again, so when I went looking I found the cutest little frog that she can put in her garden. She's CRAZY about frogs! Thanks for the help.

Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My mom loves gardening too, and recently she bought this frog with like a straw hat which sits on top of one of our flower beds. She calls him "senor frog"

For mother's day I bought my mom this outfit she fell in love with the other day when we went shopping. She was so happy!!

My mom never got to go to college, so when I did and joined a sorority she was really into learning about everything...everytime nationals would send something home to her she would read it and feel so special...i always tried to keep her filled in on what was going on...
she then told me that if she were in college it would be an amazing mother daughter thing if she were to join Phi Mu as well...
WELLL....even though mothers day is over...by a few hours....
I ordered her a Phi Mu mothers pin.... so she would feel special..it hasnt gotten here yet and she knows something is coming for her...but shedoesnt know what just yet....
to me its kinda like giving her a piece of Phi Mu ....

ANYWAYS....good mothers day gifts all come from the heart...as long as it was in your heart then it is the best yet...and if you ask any mother what is the best mothers day gift...she will probrbaly say the children she had that gave her that title.....
