Mothers Day gifts have been given for as long as the holiday has been celebrated.

Mothers Day is the one day of the year dedicated to making Moms feel like queens.
Although we should all make our Moms feel so good every day of the year, Mothers
Day is the official, nationally recognized day for us to do so. So one of the best ways
to do that, besides straight up telling her how much she means to you, is by giving her
thoughtful and unique Mothers Day gifts.

But what kinds of gifts are thoughtful and unique? What will really make her smile?
What will she cherish the most? Thankfully, weve identified some unique and
thoughtful Mothers Day gifts for you. Choose from this list and it will be a gift shell
always remember.

1. Photo Gifts
Moms love memories, especially the photographic kind. Take some of those old
family photos or even some new special ones, and turn them into mementos like
photo coasters, a photo keepsake box, photo wine box, photo mouse pad, or even
photo jewelry! Mom will never forget this generous gesture.

2. A Homemade Mothers Day Brunch
Sure there are brunches at local restaurants all over the place on Mothers Day, but
make it more personalized by organizing one in your home for the whole family to
enjoy. Set up the table with printable place cards, pretty napkins and your best dishes,
and spread some fresh flowers in vases across the eating area. For menu ideas, try the
recipes listed at thedailygreen.com, or make simple things shell love, like fresh cubed
fruit and berries, French Toast, Eggs Benedict, quiche, yogurt parfaits, and
fresh-squeezed juices.

3. Printable Coupon Book
A printable coupon book can be filled with redeemable coupons for things like a free
house-cleaning, free week of homemade dinners, free child care, car wash, lawn care,
night out at the theatre, etc. Give her some time off, and fill up the coupons with
things that she will appreciate and love.

4. Gift Baskets
You can either make one up yourself, or order one of the elaborate collaborations at
GourmetGiftBaskets.com. If you make it up yourself, it might be a little more
personal. Throw in some scented candles, moisturizer and bath salts, a gift certificate
to her favorite restaurant, a printable coupon book (see number 3), some fresh-baked
cookies, and something centered around her hobbies, i.e. a new kitchen item, a
bookmark, stationery, photo album, or a round of golf at the local course.
5. A Day at the Spa
Mommy dearest will just love a day of relaxation and rejuvenation at the spa. Set up
treatments for her like a mud bath, spa facial, pedicure, and deep tissue massage. To
make it even more enjoyable, book it as a mother-daughter duo trip and spend the day
together winding down. Make sure you purchase her a special body lotion, scented
candle or other fragrant delight from the spa so shell have a reminder of her special
day with you.
