She'll love that her feet are in tip-top shape just in time for summer sandals.

For the mother with the green thumb…a budding bloom is sure to please. Pick one of her favorite plants, like a pink peony or bountiful hydrangea to be a welcome new addition to mom's garden. Put on your garden gloves and wide brim hat and offer to help mom plant the flower in a special spot.

For the mother who is the queen of clean…let her take a rest from scrubbing the sink. Take over the cleaning duties for mom for one day or pick one cleaning chore you know she dreads. Be a domestic goddess and vacuum, dust, do the laundry, wash the dishes. The house will be spotless in no time.

For the mother who enjoys a lazy Sunday in bed…bring her a sweet breakfast treat in the early AM. Fix her up a special tray of pancakes piled high or waffles dripping with syrup.
