So Mother’s Day is almost here!! Do you have a card, a wrapped gift, and flowers in route to her house? Moms are incredible and all they do for us kids is truly amazing. Remember all the times your mother stayed up with you late at night when you had bad dreams, kissed your “owies” when you hurt yourself, made sure you always had a yummy lunch and clean clothes, drove you to school, to friends houses, to any sports match or class you ever wanted to attend, went to every special event you ever participated in, and always told you she loved you and how special you were? Mom’s are the best, and they shouldn’t be forgotten on their special day.Let your mom know you appreciate her this Mother’s Day and give her a special gift that tells her “Thanks for being such a great Mom!’ We have compiled a quick list of gift ideas (many that are very inexpensive) that will mean the world to her! Try out these 5 gift ideas for Mom this Mother’s Day:
- 1. A Personalized Mother’s Day Card. You don’t have to spend a million bucks to really show how much you love that Mom of yours! Create your own Mother’s Day card: digitally scrap it, and print it out on your printer or send it out to a outsourced printer to make her a one-of-a-kind card that’s really all about her. The time you took to design it (add pictures of her!) and the message you write inside will mean a lot to Mom! Not sure how to print a scrapped card on your printer or online company? Take our tutorial on Printing through Photoshop or Printing through Photoshop Elements!
- 2. A Pretty Bouquet of Flowers. Moms love flowers, but make sure you don’t forget to give her a real card too (the little message-cards that come with the flowers don’t count). Find out what her favorite flowers are and favorite colors and send her a bouquet she’ll especially adore!
- 3. A Photo Mini-Book. One fun, new gift you can give your Mom this year is a mini book of photos and digitally scrapped pics! You can get the tiny photo book (2 x 3″) from Snapfish.com (www.snapfish.com) and fill it with photos of Mom and you- special photos that remind you how special she is and all the wonderful things she has done for you. The great part about the Mini Book? They’re small so she can fit them in her purse and can easily show-off the photos inside to family and friends anytime she’s out and about!
- 4. A Beautiful, Personalized Digital Scrapbooking Album. An upgrade from the Mini Book, digitally scrap Mom a one-of-a-kind present that you really can’t beat. Making a full-featured, personalized album of Mom with photos, designed layouts, and stories/memories of Mom is a gift that takes some time and effort to make and create, but for $40-60 isn’t too expensive, and will, without a doubt, mean the world to Mom. Upload your digitally scrapped pages of you & Mom and upload them to a beautiful linen or leather-bound album through Snapfish.com. Want to learn how to Digital Scrapbook?

- 5. A Day with Mom. Nothing beats your love, attention, and time with Mom. If you can visit her and be with her on her special day- do it! Even better, dedicate the day to her by doing things she likes to do- plant in her garden, go on a walk, take her out for lunch, or even just spend time talking with her about her! Tell her how much you love her and how thankful you are that she’s your mother as you spend time together.
