Mother’s Day is the day that we all get to shower our mothers with attention.  We are suppose to be doing wonderful things for them anyway, but this represents a special day when we can do extra special things to show how much we love and appreciate them.  I miss my mother every day.  We were such good friends and she was the most unselfish and caring person in the world.  She often provided our home as a shelter in the storm for many.  Without reservation or hesitation, she was a “miraculous mother.”  I was blessed with wonderful parents.  

As a result,  my tribute is to “Make Mother’s Day a Happy Day.”  It doesn’t mean that the mother has to be a biological mom, but the one who has cared for you, loved you, sheltered you, protected you, nursed you, corrected you when you were wrong, and praised you when you deserved it.  There is nothing like a loving mother who loves her child or children unconditionally.  So you want to say, “I appreciate you and all that you have done and for what you continue to do.”

There are also those persons in your life that might or might not have children and you have loved them because they have been like a mother to you and maybe you have not known them very long; however, you know that they care about your wellbeing.  But, for you that person represents that “Mother” image. 

Here are a few suggestions for Mother’s Day gifts: 

This is a beautiful floral arrangement of Feather Grass Spray (above), Hawaiian Ginger and Protea Spray.  These are faux flowers that look and feel real.

What about giving your mother tableware, glassware, flatware or a teapot set?  I have provided a variety that you might consider.  You can always buy all if you think that this would be what your mother would want or need.  If you notice, the flatware varies according to the tableware.  The glassware is all one set.  I chose to share a set of 6.  However, you might purchase a set of 8 or a set of 12.  The primary point is that you want to make this great woman happy on her special day.

What about luggage? This is an inexpensive gift that is beautiful, useful, sturdy, and will stand out among the luggage that you see when traveling.  When was the last time that your mother got luggage?  Did you have an opportunity to check out her luggage that she has presently? Is her luggage battered?  If she has had her luggage for a long time, she is due to get new luggage. 

Whatever you decide to get her, don’t forget the Mother’s Day Card.  Just think of it this way, if you can’t decide what you want for her and you have no idea what she wants, give her a gift card that she can use any place and any time.  Now, if you are a mother, I wish you a very Happy Mother’s Day.
