To start with... "Good morning, Mom. Happy Birthday" with a smile and a hug if she likes them.
I am so happy that you will get to celebrate another birthday with your Mom. That is soooooo special.
Sing "Happy Birthday" as best you can a couple times today...and to sing it again before bedtime for you or her to remind her she is special.
You can try and draw or color a picture or pictures made just for her....One of her...or of her family....or flowers or scenery. Put the date on it and how old you were down in the corner.
Sit down and play some cards together, read a book, rub her feet, do a job for her or help her with one. If you have brothers or sisters, play with them so she can have some quiet time to put her feet up and relax.
Try a big, but gentle, birthday squeeze, and a kiss on her cheek.
Share memories with her.
Most of all, tell her how special she is and how much you love her and don't forget to behave!!! This would be a great gift if you did this as best you could every day.
Have a nice day tomorrow. I'm glad you care about your Mom.

Besides the usual, typical cake....here's a really good & easy idea. Put a big chocolate brownie in a good sized bowl and top it with big scoops of her favorite ice-cream. Add colorful edible sparkles to it. You can even add candles. It's different & it's something she'll remember years from now. Also...make her a home-made birthday card. Not off the computer...but a hand-drawn card. Any kind of plain paper will do. Write something special & touching in it that really comes from the heart. I did that for my mom on one of her birthdays when I was a little kid. She still has that card...almost 30 years later! She says it's the best thing she's ever recieved out of all of her 65 birthdays. Good luck.

The cake is a good idea. So is a nice handmade card, which will mean much more to her than a store-bought one.
How about making a handful of coupons for jobs you would not normally do? Offer her a set of coupons for...
- cleaning the cat box
- walking the dog
- cooking a meal
- breakfast in bed
- doing the dishes
- vacuuming the house
- washing some windows
- washing the car
- weeding the garden
- now YOU think of some things you could do for your mom. When my kids were young I used to LOVE getting coupons from them!

Get some pretty paper or decorate some and write a list of all the things you love about her. If you have some photos stick them on a big piece of coloured card like a collage.
Or one thing i've heard has been done and is really sweet - wrap up an empty box and when she opens it and asks why nothing is in there tell her you filled it with kisses and she can use one whenever she needs it - ahhh

Aww thats sweet of you, but you dont need to spend money to give your mom a great birthday gift. You could Bring breakfast in bed to her, Draw and make her a nice card, write her a colorful note saying why u love her, Andyou could make a picnic!
If you dont have none of the items to do the above give her the day off and clean up the house for her.
Hope i helped:P

your mom will understand if you don't have a way to get her anything. I'm sure she'd be perfectly happy with some flowers you find, or even just a big hug and telling her happy birthday. or you could look up a cake recipe, and see if you have the ingredients already, or borrow some from a neighbor. and icing don't cost but a couple bucks. get the no name brand.

Depending on how all out you want to be, the very basic idea to show that you care about someone are cards. If you have a small limit to spend, i suggest an apple. Either jazz, gala, crispin', or my favorite fuji, shine it up with some napkins for 5 minutes, leave to cool and crisp in the fridge. They are sweet and shows you care about her health. You could wrap it in bubble wrap and put it in a fancy box to make it all presenty.

Make your own card, then you come in the morning, hug her, say that you love her, then give the card...that is filled by your hand writing, draw some pictures about your ma, put a small piece of any red flower. And the colour of the card is pink or light blue...
good luck

I say bake her something, clean the house, clean her car out and wash it, mow the yard, make her breakfast in bed. Pick her some flowers. Make her a card, with a top ten list of why you love her. Just some suggestions.

well if your a little child you should just draw her a picture and she'll be happy. If your a teen then just hug her and kiss her and she'll be happy. If your an adult then get her a flower from the front yard or something. Moms are always happy no matter what you give them. ( well i wouldn't know really cuz i ain't one but it's probably true).
