Mother's Day is coming. It is time to let Mom know she's special to you. Finding the right gift for Mom on that day is not always easy. We often want something personal and thoughtful. But how can we make it? These following ideas may help you.
A Gift of Time
Moms just want to spend time with their children so make it a Mother-Daughter/Son day. Spend the whole day with her. Do the things she likes doing with her.
A Home Video
Take out your family videos and make them a short home video. She can enjoy it whenever she misses you. Although it may take a lot of time, the process (过程) can be great fun and the result is often priceless (无价的).
Make a CD
Make a CD for her. It's a collection of all the songs that remind her of you and your growth.
Write a Letter
Write a letter instead of a simple card. Write about all the good memories you have with her and all the things she has done for you.
Flowers
People send carnations (康乃馨) on Mother's Day. You can easily spend a lot of money on them. If you have flowers in your garden, you can handpick them and they can be a great gift.
A Dinner
Make a dinner and invite her over. You can also take it to her house and surprise her. Just don't forget to wash the dishes after the dinner.
