Memorable Mother’s Day Gift Bags

Pamper Mum with an original gift

What do mums really want for Mother's Day? When asked what she likes, mum Hélène Tricker of Lawrence, Kansas, says, "Any show of love is nice. When my daughter was small, I loved getting her adorable drawings. Now that she's a busy adult, I always look forward to getting some quality time with her."

What better way to show your mum or wife that you love her than to set aside some time just for her, and make it a fun break from everyday life. Here are some easy Mother’s Day celebration ideas:

Coupons-of-love gift bag

Insert handmade coupons, redeemable for special time with Mum, into a pretty card and present them with a bag or basket of related items.

Take-a-Walk Coupon: Create a coupon for a nature walk, and include a gift bag of sports drinks, protein bars, snack mix, sunglasses, and a disposable camera. Dinner-on-Me Coupon: Write that you’ll make dinner, and attach the coupon and card to a basket of fruit or special dessert to follow the meal. You might also promise dinner at a later date of her choice, and present the coupon with a bag of easy, delicious foods she might enjoy in the meantime, like gourmet soups, cheese and biscuits, or a combination of high-end pasta and sauce.

Want some quality time? How about a meal and a movie?

Purchase a lovely card and write a special note inside that expresses your love and appreciation. Let her know that you’re making her lunch or dinner and cleaning up afterwards. Buy a gift bag and add a DVD: a chic flick, a classic—whatever Mum loves.Toss in some guilt-free movie treats like low-calorie, low-fat popcorn, and a flavoursome, healthy drink.Lastly, present your gift bag with a bouquet of fresh flowers that can be placed on the table for your meal.
