Women come in all forms, shapes and sizes, not to mention they also come in different roles. Whether she's your great-grandmother, grandmother, paternal mother, step-mother, your blood mother, great aunt, aunt, wife or even your sister she still deserves something special for this special occasion (not saying that you shouldn't treat her special every second, every minute, and every hour of everyday).
Mother's Day is a special day, celebrated by many over the world to show appreciation to all the women who brought them into this world. We know where we come from and we know who it is that carried us nine months in their womb, one day doesn't cut it to show them how much they mean to us.
That's why getting the most meaningful and deserving gift for your mother is important. I don't know about you, but getting a gift for my mother is always important to me, and I always want it to be meaningful enough to make her feel special.
Surely when you ask her "What should I get for you?" Her answer will most certainly or probably be "Nothing, I have you and that's enough me." (Well my mother on the other hand always asks for chocolate, or something she can just chew on) but what's special about that? You get her chocolates and the next day it's finished. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that chocolates aren't a good gift to give, in fact it's a great gift (WOMEN LOVE CHOCOLATE!). What I'm saying is pair that gift with something she can keep, something she can remember you by.
For example pairing up a box of chocolates with a cute teddy that she can add to the collection of pillows sitting on her bed (I think every women's room has those) or getting her a unique mug she can sip her daily tea on while looking out the window.
At the end of the day, it is surely the thought that counts so instead of going all out or not going at all, just think about how she would feel about the gift. Will it make her smile? Frown? Fringe? Sigh?
