What? You thought you were getting a post about great Mother’s Day gift ideas? No – I’m looking for good Mother’s Day gift ideas! Seriously!
Both of my parents pretty much qualify as people “who have everything”. Which makes shopping for them a bit tricky. My dad likes biking and golf, so Father’s Day is a bit less perplexing, but my mom? Super tough to shop for.
While I know that flowers are always an appropriate gift, having flowers delivered on a major floral holiday can get expensive. You know what I mean – the price always shoots up on Valentines or Mother’s Day, right? So I try and get a little creative.
Last year, I taught myself (with the help of Google of course) how to make a fruit arrangement type gift. It was a lot of work and had a hard time staying together. I basically delivered it and then she had to take it apart to get it in a container so the fruit wouldn’t spoil. But it was still a pretty good first attempt for someone who really isn’t very crafty, right?
So this year, I’m looking to find another idea that is a bit original, not too hard, and will show my mom how special she is. If you’ve got any ideas, I’d love to hear them!!

What an awesome idea and I can’t even think about how much money you saved doing your own fruit basket. I might copy!

I’ve always wanted a fruit arrangement but never really thought about having to take it apart to put it away. Guess I would just have to eat it all right then 🙂

My mom loves coffee – so this year I’m going to make her some home made sugar cubes in the shape of hearts and give her that with her favorite coffees and a mug or something.

Treat her to a day at the spa and fix her dinner instead of taking her out.

I would just love to see my Mom on Mother’s Day. It’s been 10 years since I’ve got to physically see her on Mother’s Day.
