Mothers do so much for us. This Mother’s Day, May 11, give back to her with some creative gifts. Below is a list of some gift ideas for your irreplaceable mom.

Things to buy:
  • Flowers make a nice décor to the living room and brighten any woman’s day.
    Bath and Body Works gift basket
  • Create a Bath and Body Works gift basket. Nothing says thank you like a nice sweet smelling bubble bath. 
  • Jewelry – earrings and a necklace that match, a bracelet, or a locket with a picture of you and her
  • A cookbook or novel if your mother likes to cook or read
  • Accessories such as a customized case, headphones or screen protectors for her iPhone, iPad, or Droid.
No money? No problem. There are countless ways to show your love without spending a dime. 
  • Make her breakfast in bed. Prepare all of mom’s favorite breakfast treats like scrambled eggs, waffles and Nutella, and a hot cup of coffee.
  • Do the laundry for a week. Not only will this take a load off your mom’s to do list, it also gets you ready for life after high school.
  • Babysit the younger siblings to give her a day off.
  • Write her a letter telling her all the things she has done for you and how much her guidance and support has helped you in your life. Put it in a decorated envelope and slip it under her door.
  • Make a scrap book or collage of pictures of you and your mom from the baby years to now.
