All any mom really needs to hear on Mother’s Day is, “Thank You.”

But don’t just say it–show it. Add a heartfelt note to whatever gift card idea you choose. And make sure the kids do the same!

She put your needs ahead of her own all those years. Give her some love.

Feet Retreat

Get Inspired: Stamp the kids’ feet or take a picture of their piggy toes and put it in a keepsake frame. Add a pedicure gift card and a note that reads, “From our feet to yours!”

Or pair the gift card with a pedicure accessory or lotion like the ones shown below and give her a foot rub at home.

In Her Shoes

Get Inspired: Tell her you wouldn’t last a minute in her shoes. Give her a gift card to the shoe store, a fun pair or socks or slippers, and a homemade coupon for a foot massage. She deserves it and you can’t go wrong with a gift card to the shoe store!!!

At DSW, you can even personalize a DSW gift card. Too cute!

Spa Girl

Get Inspired: Get her a gift card for a relaxing massage or pampering facial. Then pair this zen gift card with her favorite magazine, a soothing lotion, sleep mask or just a commitment to watch the kids or pets while she enjoys her treatment.

Night Off!

Get Inspired: Don’t just give her a night out. Give her a night off! No dinner, no dishes, no midnight feedings. Send her to a hotel with a book and some chocolate for a real break. She’ll come back relaxed and well-rested.

Give Her a Hand

Get Inspired: Get mom a gift card to a watch or jewelry store so she can buy something pretty for the hands that work so hard. (A manicure gift card would work here too.) If her kids are little, trace each child’s hand print and write why mom is the best ever inside each tiny palm. Older kids can write a note themselves and give her “a helping hand” with the free downloadable coupons below.

Top of the List

Get Inspired: Send the mom in your life to the salon with a gift card, a new magazine, and her favorite daytime drink. Heaven!

Entertain-Her

Get Inspired: She sat through all those ballgames and attended all those dance recitals. Now it’s her turn. Get her a gift card to the theater, ballet, concert, or art museum. Pair the gift card and complementary book, CD, or print. For example, a gift card to Wicked plus the Wicked soundtrack would be a wicked-good gift.

Refuel the Batteries

Get Inspired: Does she need a little me time? Then get her a gift card to the yoga center, tennis lessons, a kick-box class, or another activity she’ll enjoy. Then get her something to feel the part like a yoga mat, a tennis skirt, some wrist guards, or a towel wrap.

Guilt-free Indulgence

Get Inspired: Get mom a gift card to her favorite indulgence. Put the gift card with a bunch of flowers (purchased or picked) and write the words, “Thank you.” All most moms want on Mother’s Day is to feel appreciated.
