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

The old cliche.... Anything home made. There's nothing more precious than a work of art (or otherwise) made by your kids own bare hands. It's absolutely priceless.
Difficult if you're over 6 years in age, but a little thought goes a long way. It's not money that counts, it's the time you spent making/ chosing/ writing it.
Even a little poem you write will mean the world. I'm not a sentimental person at all, but my best and favourite little belongings are an owl made from clay (with one eye, teeth and very strange feet), a little note reading... 'I'm sorry about your breeving' (when I had a chest infection). And most of all, the photos of my little sprogletts, that make me smile whatever the weather. Any token gift from a child to a mother means the Earth. Just be sure to handwrite the punchline.
Good luck!

Answer 4

Well, my mother is dead, so I won't be buying any gifts for her. One Mother's Day, I sat in church with my then-husband and son, after just having had a miscarriage 2 days before. The pastor called all mothers to stand up according to how many children they had. It broke my heart and I cried. The following Mother's Day, I was in church again with my 1-week-old daughter, dedicating her to God. I generally don't like to celebrate Mother's Day because I believe that it is a holiday that is commercially motivated now and it puts pressure on kids to treat their moms extra special when they might have not done so during the year.

Because I no longer have my mother and because I myself am a mother, I can tell you that gifts don't mean nearly as much to me as a hand-made card or note which expresses to me how my children feel about me. Throughout the year, there are times that kids will try the patience of a mother and will seem that they don't appreciate all that their mother does to show she loves them. When a mother receives a card or note expressing specifically what that child appreciates about their mother, that has more meaning for many mothers than roses, a fancy dinner or an expensive gift could ever have. I can't speak for all mothers, but this is how I feel, and I AM a mother.

Answer 5

If she is a mother a beautiful thank you card, a good conversation and plenty of positive information about you for her. If you can afford a mothers day gift, give one to her.
Something sentimental she can remember you by.

Answer 6

Good perfume or a homecook meal with dessert. A nice CD. or just something from the heart. That is always special.

Answer 7

Mae something yourslef. Like a little clay bowl, card, painting, picture, scarf, anyhting you made, also tell her that you love her and hug her too.

Answer 8

I have this locket that can hold photos of all of my children. It's pretty cool, I love it. You could find one of those for your mom, and include photos to go with it!

Answer 9

Chocolate. You can't go wrong with chocolate...unless she doesn't like chocolate or is allergic. That's when you get her a card and a spa treatment. ^_^

Answer 10

A really big hug from you.
