The best gift you can give your mother for Mothers Day is not flowers. Flowers die and they are the gift that is given when you can think of nothing better or are not capable of giving a little effort. Your mother gave effort, so maybe it's time to give a little back. Think personal and get personal. Find pictures of you and your siblings with Mom and make a special photo album just for her.

Write a poem and make, or have made, a special frame for the poem. If you want to get really fancy, have a frame made that will center the poem and surround it with pictures of you and Mom or pictures of you and all your siblings.

Write all the family stories you can think of. You might decide to make this a theme: happy stories, mushy stories, funny childhood memories written by each child. Type the stories, find one of the many book printers on the Internet, put the stories together and make a book. Present this to Mom on Mother's Day and you'll be the favorite child for the rest of her life.

Spend the whole day with Mom and tell her you want to make it a yearly event. No one knows Mom like you do. Plan the day in advance; take her to lunch, go to a play or a movie, then take her to dinner and make it her day. Once a year isn't all that much to ask and you can plan something new each and every year.

Some people aren't big on the idea of spending a whole day with their mom. If this is your situation, put your mind at ease, because you can still make it a special day. If you don't want to be part of the day, contact her favorite sister or her best friend. Ask if they'd like to have a paid holiday with your mom and buy tickets or shell out the money for the two of them to go somewhere together. It will still be a special gift and one your mom will never forget.
