what your mom deserves. Perfumes are useful for all occasions and there is nothing a woman loves more than to smell nice.

Handbags

Admit it, you hand your mom everything you don’t feel like carrying. The least you can do is buy her a purse where she can store the items. Michael Kors, Kate Spade and Tory Burch have all the latest designs, styles, and colors. It’s basically a win-win; she gets a new bag and, you still remain empty handed.  

DIY Gifts (because gifting doesn’t always require spending money)

Homemade cards are considered to be the most heartfelt gift a child could make for his or her mom. A note about how much you love and appreciate her will definitely help you wiggle your way into being the favorite child, as well as well as make her feel special and respected. A simple hand-picked bouquet of your mom’s favorite flowers to go along with a card will surely show extra love and thought as well.

Creating a 52-Things-I-Love-About-You present on a deck of cards may be short, but it sure is sweet. Being reminded of favorite memories and reading thoughtful, loving phrases never fails to bring a smile to anyone, especially your mom. Hearing what their child loves and looks up to them for is their greatest wish of all.

Spice up your mom’s day with homemade baked goods. Cakes are great for all occasions, so bake your mom the most decorative and decadent cake you can. Personalizing the cake with her favorite flavors calls for double the sweetness.
