Mother's Day Gift Ideas

This Sunday is Mother's Day. Have you bought your mom a card or gift yet? If you're still looking for ideas, here's a few ideas your mom might enjoy...

~A Pedicure~

Wouldn't it be fun to have a Mother-Daughter Pedicure? After the pedi you could treat your mom to lunch. Sandal season has started and who wouldn't love a fresh pedi?

~Personalized Charm Bracelet~

I love these custom-made, personalized bracelets from this Etsy Store, Joyfully Crafted. Wouldn't it be cute to order one for mom with a name charm for each of her children and grandchildren? You can also order gift cards from Joyfully Crafted, so mom can pick her own bracelet.

~Homemade Gifts~

If funds are limited this year, you can always make your mom a homemade card or a paper flower arrangement. I made this paper flower arrangement last year using the free paper flower pattern from Amy Butler.

~Make a Charitable Donation in Your Mom's Name~

Last year I made a donation in my mom's name to an organization that helps orphans in China. I wrote my mom a card telling her about the donation and why I donated in her name. She loved it; she cried. After years of buying gift cards, flowers, candy, and presents, I think this gift meant the most to my mom. For Mother's Day this year, I have sponsored a child at New Day Foster Home in Beijing in my mom's name. She will receive monthly updates on a sweet little girl, Elizabeth. Elizabeth was abandoned at 8 years old. She just had a heart surgery and she's currently in recovery. You can also make a one-time donation in your mom's name to the various projects New Day supports.

Look who's picture is in the "N." She's so cute!
