Great ways to
say 'I love you'
(NC)—In North America Mother's Day is celebrat-
ed on the second Sunday in May (and this special
occasion is actually the most popular one after
Christmas and Valentine's Day). While cards and
fresh cut flowers are tradition, here's a checklist of
other great gift ideas.
• Buy annuals or perennials and plant them for
your mom in her garden.
• For mom's who love to cook, buy a collection of
potted organic herbs including basil, rosemary, sage
and thyme and make her an herb garden.
• Homemade art gifts are cherished especially
when children are young. But anything creative - a
picture, poem or photo - is a lovely personalized
gift.
• Photos are always a hit. Portrait packages are
available at a range of prices - hire a professional,
have a portrait package done in a discount store or
ask a friend who has a good eye, to take pictures.
Cut and paste photos (or copies of the photos to pre-
serve the original) onto a half -sized poster board, fill
a memory photo album or box or load a digital pic-
ture frame with family pictures. Of course, a single
framed picture is a lovely gift too.
• Have photos put on a t -shirt, calendar, mouse
pad or coffee cup. Check photo departments and
stores for these specialized photo finishing services.
• Package up a homemade treat such as your
mom's favourite coffee cake, cookies or even a fresh
fruit flan. Check out www.robinhood.ca for great
recipes.
• Help your mom clean her house. Hire
her a week of cleaning services or offer to
do the housework yourself.
• Offer to help with home repair or
updating projects such as painting or
wall papering or hire someone to help.
• At the end of the day, remember
that spending time with the people she
cares about is a great way to spend
Mother's Day too.
