While most moms will appreciate just about any gift, the gift of pampering is always a great present.

Here are seven simple ways to pamper your mom this Mother’s Day and show her how much you care.


1. A day at the spa

A day of beauty at the local spa is something your mom is sure to enjoy. Whether you go with her or send her out on her own, she will likely appreciate a day spent relaxing.

2. A night of babysitting

Even the most dedicated mom can feel overwhelmed sometimes, so why not give her a night off from her most important duties? Adult children and responsible teenagers can treat their mothers to a night spent taking good care of their younger brothers and sisters, so mom can enjoy a night on the town.

3. A handcrafted gift basket

Whether your mom is a sports fanatic, a movie buff or a book lover, you can create a handcrafted gift basket designed for her individual tastes. Just gather up an assortment of wonderful gifts, put them all in a beautiful basket and top it off with a big bow.

4. A piece of mother-daughter jewelry

Whether it is a pendant with interlocking hearts, a special ring or a charm bracelet adorned with reminders of activities you and your mom love to do together, a piece of mother-daughter jewelry is always a wonderful Mother’s Day gift. Every time your mom slips that pendant around her neck, slides that ring on her finger or secures the clasp on her charm bracelet, she will think of you fondly and remember your generosity.

5. A homemade gift from the grandkids

Sometimes the most cherished gifts are also the simplest. If you have a budding artist in the family, you can give your mom a gift that is truly priceless. Whether it is a clay handprint, a homemade work of art or a handcrafted piece of jewelry, a gift lovingly made by her grandchildren is something your mother is sure to cherish forever.

6. A designer handbag

Sometimes the best way to treat your mom is to give her something she would never buy for herself. If your mom is a dedicated follower of fashion and a lover of designer purses, why not give her the gift of quality? She is sure to appreciate the gesture, and she will think of you every time she pulls out her wallet.

7. A customized photo album

Your mom has accumulated a great many memories during her life, so why not compile those mementoes into a customized and handcrafted photo album? If you are a dedicated scrapbooker, you probably already have most of the supplies you will need. If not, just head down to your local craft store for acid-free paper, photograph holders and a variety of decorative embellishments. Your mom will have all her favorite memories in one place, and she will think of you every time she strolls down memory lane.


You owe your very existence to your mother, and Mother’s Day is the best day of the year to show her how much you appreciate her and how much you care. The seven ideas listed above can help you create a Mother’s Day experience your mother will remember forever.
