Mother's Day: Surprise the superwoman with something special

“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts” is a famous quote by Washington Irving and aptly expresses a mother’s boundless and eternal love for her child or children.

In the eyes of the world, you may be the most despised or hated person but one thing is for sure – For your mother, you despite your wrongdoings will always remain a jewel in her eye. For most of us, it is our mother and not our father who is the confidants. The reason being mothers are naturally more sensitive to a child’s needs and understand their trials and tribulations better. A mother is the person to go to for a hug, counseling or advice because you know that she would only desire the best for you.

So it is time to reciprocate those feelings and what better day to do it than on Mother’s Day?

You could gift her something that she had been contemplating to buy for some time. However for this you will need to keep a keen eye on her and find out yourself what she is most in need of.

A leading online gift service has recently revealed what mom doesn't want to be given this mother's day. 500 moms were asked to name the best and worst Mother's Day gifts. Are these on your list?

So, what do moms care most about? Moms want loved ones to remember their special day. Women in general love fashion accessories, gold, apparel, designer bags, etc and mothers are no exception to this phenomenon. If you have money to spend, then this is also an option to explore. Take her out for dinner or a movie in the evening and treat her like a queen. Most moms love jewelry, flowers, and a day off from chores. What she wants most is your time....our most valuable asset.

Here are some of the gifts that topped the list.

The best mother's day gifts are:

• jewelry

• homemade cards (It doesn't have to be expensive. Your thoughts are worth far more.)

• homemade gifts

• A day at the spa.... This is especially fun to do with a friend

• help with chores

• beauty products.... Consider putting together a beauty basket filled with massage oils, lotions, and all of her other favorite beauty products.

For the ones whose pockets are running dry or for those who don’t believe in such melodramatics, there are other alternatives. You could opt to cook the afternoon food on mother’s day or you could also take up the responsibility of cleaning up your house on that day. Give her a huge hug and plant a peck on her cheek, first thing in the morning when you get up. She would surely love such a gesture!

More importantly, don’t forgot to wish your mom on mother’s day. For mother’s, their kids are their greatest treasures and they feel far happier over their successes than even they do. Mother’s day is a day to honor that seemingly endless love that they impart upon us in a small way.
