It is that time of the year again where husbands and kids will try to make one day special with Mother’s Day happening this Sunday. Through the years, folks have resorted a variety of stuff to make the day extra ordinary though it seems that the uniqueness of doing so has been wearing down.

Traditionally, Mother’s Day would see mom’s receiving traditional flowers or roses. It is normal practice but some beg to ask if this is what a mother would really want? How about a fancy dinner where food joints are likely to pay homage to the mom’s out there with flowers and some special gifts as well.

With all common bases covered, what could a mother possibly want aside from roses and meals?

Gift cards could be a good idea, something that anyone can use anywhere at any time. It stands to be a flexible idea that doesn’t necessarily have be used on the spot. While Mother’s Day is the time where mom’s would have some time off, it will understandably be a day for most mothers to want to spend the day primarily with the entire family.

Aside from gift cards, spa days could be another great gift to give. Aside from having the special day off, mother’s could do well to get some regenerating time out from usual chores and responsibilities.

Ultimately, the only thing that a mom could sensibly want is time off. Mothers are known to carry most of the household chores so exempting them on May 8 is perhaps the single most wanted thing that they will possibly want.

Now aside from those things, what other tangible thing could a mom hope for to flash a smile? Here are some gift ideas you can consider:

1. A new blouse or wardrobe. Simple yet something that she can wear over and over again with thoughts of you.
2. Jewelry. It doesn’t necessarily have to be expensive. A simple bracelet goes a long way.
3. Bags. Women have been known to be addicted to bags so why not give her another one she could use.
4. Books. For mothers who love to read, get hold of that piece she always wanted. If not, consider something she will get hooked on.
5. Cosmetic stuff. Whether it be lipstick, foundation or eyeliners, it all depends on how mom shapes herself up whenever she goes out in the open.
6. Chocolates. Though it could be an alternative to flowers (or even paired with them), sweets are something mom’s may find enough to munch on.
7. Picture frames. Mom’s love to treasure memories and photos go a long way. Spice things a bit with a classic frame or even a digital one (meaning you can scan or use the actual supported picture format it recognizes).
8. Phone or gadget. Depending on your budget, this could be a good gift if you mom is on the tech side of things.
9. New kitchen stuff. It could be a chopping board, a new pan or even a new set of knives, such could be useful for the busy mothers who spend a great deal in the kitchen.
10. Personally baked goodies. Cookies or cakes made personally by you could be more than enough, something made using the labor of (motherly) love.
