She is going to be 36 years old! She does so much for her family and her birthday is one day that we get to spoil her! So if you can think of some great gifts it is greatly appreciated. And because life gets so busy I forgot to buy her a present and her birthday is tomorrow 10/ 06/ 06!!!!! Shame Shame : ( on me.....

A gift certificate to a Spa is nice. If you don't have much money, make your own coupons for her. Ones that say you will make dinner, clean the house, etc.

If you have a picture of you with her when you were young-Take it to Walmart and blow it up to a 5x7 and get a frame that has something to do with being a mom and place the picture in the frame Its a great gift and she will love it

You can give her Flowers (Roses, Tulips, Or Lilly's), Birthday Card (I Suggest One Of Those BIG Huge Cards), Birthday Cake (With Her Favorite Icing And Toppings), Candles, Victoria Secret/ Body Works (Perfume, Body Spray, Or Lotion Etc.), Or Favorite things that she likes.

Why don't you just make the time to spend with her....take her out for dinner, lunch, breakfast or cook dinner for her. Mom's are sentimental and want to know that their children love them enough to give them their "time " because if it hadn't been for the time your mother spent on you, you probably wouldn't be the person you are today....so give her your time and let her know how special she really is...and next year, put a little more creativity into it because she is worth it...I always do something special for my mother on Mother's Day and her birthday, and it doesn't usually cost alot, but always comes from the heart. I have been known to write poetry, make a collage of pictures of her children with her, cook her favorite meal, throw a surprise party with family and friends. I started something and now my own children do the same for me.....From a mom's perspective, there is nothing more special than your children's time.

A simple card with handmade certificates in it with each one stating something you will do exclusively for her...such as: A night at the movies, babysit for free, clean the house for a day, cook dinner, and so on. That's a last minute gift. My son's made a wall hanging with all different pictures on it from birth to when they were older, I framed it, and it is placed on my wall to this day. Good Luck, Hug your Mom, and tell her you Love her.
