With the spring season in its full bloom all around, the Earth looks lovely and charming that wins our hearts. As I walk in the garden amazed by the dazzling beauty of the colorful flowers and see the beautiful butterflies flying about, I catch the fancy of little children with their moms playing in the park. I take a seat to watch the unconditional love and care that mothers offer to their loved ones and while doing so I remember my mother who is thousand miles away from me.

Though not a single day passes by without talking to her over the phone, but I wonder if I have been a good child who took the opportunity to thank her for all that she has done for me?

With mother’s day only a few days away, don’t you think it’s time to start planning for her to make her feel very special? Our life may be hectic with no time in hand, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t take out some time to prepare a special surprise for the most important person in our life. There’s no better way to treat her than creating something with your own hands that she will never forget. Though it may take some thought in advance, but Moms love nothing more than a homemade Mother’s Day gift.

So today, let me make this task simple for you by sharing some creative ideas that you can use to prepare a surprise gift for her:

Mother’s day card for children to make: This time, instead of purchasing a card from the shop, why not put in some effort to make it on your own. Devote some time to choose one that can really express your feelings to your mom. For the card, use good quality paper, colored pens, decoration material, which you will easily find in many craft shops. Decide on what you want to express through words and then tailor the message according to your mom’s choice. Use stickers to seal the envelope.

A Photo collage will say it all: If you are looking for a handmade Mother’s Day gift that is unique with a personal touch, then why not make a cute photo collage with some adorable and special photos of her with the family? Gather childhood photos of your mom and some special moment in her life captured through the camera over time and use them to create a collage of memories. Add pictures that she hasn’t seen for a long time and include quotes and messages to express your love for her.

Make a video diary: This task may be really hard as it needs to remember to actually take some videos at the right moment. Pulling out your phone or bringing up the camera to capture the best moments of your mother may be a laborious task, but this is something that she will really appreciate on this day. Gather videos of exciting events or special moments that she shared with the family members and create a video diary to save the precious memories. Use her favorite song on the soundtrack to make it more personal. This gift requires proper planning and involves time; so start planning ahead and create a nice surprise for your mother.

Create a Mother’s Day gift basket: Try to find the favorites of your mother much ahead of the day so that you have enough time in hand to collect them from the stores one by one. Now take a big basket and decorate it with ribbons and heart shaped flowers and add the things of her choice. Put a bunch of flowers to make the appearance lovelier and write a sweet note.

Though there are numerous ways to show your love to your mother, but the most important thing is to take out some time on this Mother’s Day and spend it with her.
