Get your green thumb going! If your mother loves being one with the Earth, spend some time with her in her backyard or a community garden, and gift her with seeds, planters, and new gardening tools. Even better, a trip to a local orchard could take the planting experience to a whole other level.

If your mom is always on the go and thinking of everyone but herself, it’s time to remind her who comes first. Take her to the hair salon so she can get her hair professionally styled, braided, blown out, or cut.

Keep it simple and make a call for reservations at mom’s favorite restaurant. If it’s local, even better, but if it involves travel, make a weekend of it. Get the whole family together over a meal that involves no clean up on your part.

A great way to create new memories is to capture it on film. Hire a makeup artist and professional photographer and give mom a full-glam day she will never forget. A framed photo hanging in her home and yours is a keepsake to remember always.

There’s no better gift than a free one. Taking a morning walk with mom on the beach as the sun is coming up or an afternoon stroll in the park at sunset is great exercise and an opportunity for quiet conversation. Gift her with a new pair of kicks or water bottle to make the experience one that truly solidifies the moment.
