Top 10 Last Minute Mother's Day Gift Ideas

 By Nancy Jill Thames



Do you ever wonder what your mother would really like for Mother's Day? 

Here are my top 10 ideas:

 



1. Commit one day a week to call your mom and chat. Do this for a year.

2. Write a favorite memory of a time your mom encouraged you. Place the note in her M.D. card.

3. Call your mom this weekend and tell her you've been thinking what a great mom she is.

4. If you live close, invite your mom over for dinner one night this weekend.

5. If you live far away, call your mom and tell her you really miss her.

6. Tell your mom two clean jokes. Laugh together, and then wish her a happy Mother's Day.  (Jokes included at the end of this list.)

7. If you have children, tell them something special your mom did for you as a child, and then tell her.

8. Tell your mom no woman could have done a better job raising you.

9. Give your mom a hug and kiss her on the cheek. Tell her you love her.

10. Be a good mom yourself.

Joke #1  Did you know that a calendar's days are numbered?

Joke #2  I thought I spotted an eye doctor on an Alaskan island. Not so. It was just an optical Aleutian.

Now it's your turn. What are some creative gift ideas you've given or received for Mother's Day?

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
