The key to making Mum feel special this Mother's Day is to create a day where she will feel appreciated. After all the things she has done for you, she deserves it.

1. Buy a good quality photo album and place her last holiday
   snaps (or plenty photos of the family) in it - most of which are
   probably still sitting in her camera.

2. Ensure that as a son or daughter and husband that all the
   household chores, - such as the cleaning, hovering, dusting
   and washing are done for the week, to give her a much needed
   break.

3. Get your children to paint and decorate a large earthenware
   trough. I then lacquered over it with yacht varnish, filled it with
   compost and planted it with lots of spring flowering bulbs, such
   as daffodils - to spell out MUM. It's unique and it's a gift that
   keeps on giving, every year.

4. Book a mother and daughter spa day. Not only will she love the
   relaxation and pampering but it will give you some quality
   'together' time in between all those wonderful luxuriant
   treatments. Guaranteed to evoke many happy memories and
   blissful sighs.

5. If Mum is a budding artist or would like to perfect her cooking
   skills, how about an art lesson or cookery course. This gives her encouragement and shows that you do listen to what she says.

6. Bake a cake - shows time, effort and love whatever your age.

7. Book a family meal out or cook Sunday lunch and tell Mum to put her feet up - maybe give her a DVD of her choice to help her with the feet up part!

8. A necklace or other piece of jewellery will come as a complete surprise and will be a present just for her, please note Dad's, that an iron does not qualify as a gift for her!

9. A west end show is a gift that will last past Mother's Day. If you want to find a less expensive alternative, check your local theatre or amateur dramatics for their next show.

10. Plan an afternoon out, a walk in a park or along the coast with a stop for a cup of tea or coffee is a good day out for everyone that doesn't have to cost a fortune. If it is a mild day - pack a picnic.

Finally don't forget to tell her how much she means to you and how happy you are that she is your Mother.
