Answer 2

Here's something creative that will be appreciated and you will have fun doing:

Make up a crossword puzzle and have all the hints be personal inside moments and jokes that only you two would know about. Put it on a poster board and add some clipart and some pictures to it!

The crossword puzzle could be time consuming and a bit frustrating ... you could do the same idea with a WORDSEARCH or WORDFIND puzzle.

Put your computer skills to work! Use Excel, get clipart from Yahoo Images Search, copy them, and reformat them, use a gluestick to put on posterboard.

Use graph paper, and pictures from magazines if you are not as good on the computer, and it will give it a homemade feeling.

This is a really beautiful poem too!
Women have strengths that amaze us.
They carry children, they carry hardships, they carry burdens but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up for injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without new shoes so their children can have them.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a birth or a new marriage. Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!
Women do more than just give birth.
They bring joy and hope.
They give compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have a lot to say and a lot to give.

Answer 3

For my mother and mother in law, I generally have the kids do some kind of project for them for mother's day. It gets the kids involved and it seems to mean a lot to them. If you don't have kids, you could try something personalized from the 2 of you for them, like an engraved frame with a picture of you 2 in it.

Answer 4

great question -- nice that you are thinking in advance of your mum and your husband's mum.

An absolutely priceless gift is to write your mother (or help your husband write a letter to his mum) just saying how much you love her and how much you appreciate all the things she's done for you throughout your life. Mention some specifics, maybe some dating way back to your childhood, and mention something about her character that you hope to inherit. Talk about memories of her that you cherish.

She will cry her eyes out and treasure this letter for the rest of her days, believe me.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Anything may count as a wonderful Mother’s day gift, as long as it touches your mom and makes her feel special on Mother’s Day (May 14). Remember, Mother’s Day is all about appreciating, acknowledging, and reflecting on the endless love and care your mom showered on you through the years.

Answer 6

I find it interesting that there is a day set aside for mothers. I know there is Father’s Day too, but Mother’s Day is just around the corner. I have an issue with that. A counter question here is; should mothers be honored only on Mother’s Day? Why does one have to wait for Mother’s Day to receive gifts? There is no guarantee what tomorrow will bring, because “time and unforeseen occurrence befall us all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:11)

Why wait for a day that a mother may not live to. Remember, each day has its own adventures. Nothing is certain in this world. The best gift to give to your mother is love. Love is colorless. Love is priceless. Love is timeless. You do not have to wait until the month of May to show how much you love your mother. Remember, you can have many grandmothers, grandfathers, nieces, uncles; but you only receive one mother. There is only one biological mother. You may have ones that you consider as “your second mother.” However, only ONE mother can give birth to you.”

No matter what month, time or day, always show your mother that you love her. A gift only has temporary benefits. Love has everlasting benefits. Therefore, do not wait until this time of year to really think about your mothers. They deserve your love all of the time. I mean, they did carry you for nine months in their body. They went through months of intense agony, pain, shifts in mood, hunger, multiple doctor visits, going through trimesters, sleepless nights, the kicking, screaming and the hours of labor and finally the delivery. No material gift can match that. Your obedience and love does. You can never repay them, but you can make them very happy. Here are some scriptures to support this.

Proverbs 23:22, 24, 25: “Do not despise your mother just because she has grown old. The father of a righteous one will without fail be joyful; the one becoming father to a wise one will also rejoice in him. 25 Your father and your mother will rejoice, and she that gave birth to you will be joyful.”

Colossians 3:20: “YOU children, be obedient to [your] parents in everything, for this is well-pleasing in [the] Lord.”

Ephesians 6:1-3: “Children, be obedient to YOUR parents in union with [the] Lord, for this is righteous: “Honor your father and [your] mother”; which is the first command with a promise: “That it may go well with you and you may endure a long time on the earth.”

Neither your physical dimensions nor your gender exempts you from Jehovah’s command: “Do not forsake the law of your mother.” (Proverbs 6:20) Your mother is authorized by God to make laws, or house rules. You owe her respect and obedience. And by obeying her—not arguing with her every time she asks you to do something—you lighten her load and make for peace in your family, even if you are not directly living with her. She will always be mom, no matter how old you get. You always call her mom, not by her first name. Mom is mom is mom.

Therefore, do not wait for Mother’s Day to offer a gift. If you feel in your heart that you want to reward your mother with a gift in the middle of the winter season, then do it. Ask yourself, do you want to find your mother a gift because Mother’s Day is coming up, or because it is in your heart to do so. I guarantee you that your mother would not turn away a gift if it is in July. Always take care of your mother, even when she gets old. Do not be so quick to put her in the nursing home when she gets old. She took care of you, so the process reverses. There is a saying that “a mother can take care of ten children, but ten children cannot take care of one mother.” Therefore, take good care of your mother, because you only get one.

One last thing: Listen to the song, “I'll Always Love My Mama” by The Intruders. It is an excellent song.
