feel like a child once again,

her present. Alternatively,
you can give your mom an
assortment of accessories,
which you can arrange
around inside the basket.
You may try also to go on a
theme-inspired basket, like a
'beauty' theme; thus, giving your mother a variety of
beauty products or spa treatment products. Or, you may
opt along a 'book' theme,
and give her a collection of
inspirational books or books
on yoga and meditation, or
books of her favorite author.
You may provide her with

loves nature or has a green
thumb, you may choose to
give her a basket laden with
different plants for planting, or packets of seedlings
maybe, or bonsais to adorn
in the garden or inside the
house. Or, if your mother is
a tea or coffee aficionado,
you could give her a tea or
coffee packs of assorted and
exotic flavors.
Now, when adorning your
gift basket, always think personalize. You can decorate
the basket with small fresh
flowers, or you may even go
as far as cutting pictures of
your mother and the two of
you together over the years
and sticking them on the
sides of the basket.
Or, you may simply desire
to spend some time with
your mother. Why don't you
take her to a nice, cozy place
where you both can simply
chat, and bring in a food gift
basket filled with her favorite
food, or food you prepared
using her recipes! And don't
forget to tuck in an extra
blanket for her to wrap her
around with if ever she gets
cold, or an extra pillow to
make her extra comfortable
wherever she'll be seated.
Whatever thoughts you have
for Mother's Day, the gift
basket should be a vital part
of it. Make your mother's
most recent memory of you
and her to be a wonderful
and of lasting impression.
At least, she'll think that
once you let her feel that you
unconditionally gave her a
basket of pie.
