How about getting mom a nice antique jewelry box fit for her to keep all of her valuable necklaces and earrings in? You can find a large range in quality boxes from very inexpensive ones to ultra expensive ones. Get one to match the rest of her bedroom furniture.

A traditional standby Mothers Day gift is giving her flowers. If you're going to give your mom flowers, don't just get any old floral arrangement for $20. Try to put a little thought into it. Why not get her ones with some really amazing fragrance like a Stargazer Lilly.

Do you have access to piles of old family photos? If you do, you could make a collage of your favorite family moments in history. That is sure to be a gift she will treasure.

The electronic photo frames that display digital photos are gaining popularity. You don't need to get her a huge expensive one. Just get something nice that she can keep on her desk at work or on her nightstand.

Mom would probably love a trip to her local salon or spa for some pampering. Get her two gift certificates so she can take a girlfriend along with her.

You could get a Blockbuster gift certificate. Then put it in a gift bag along with a nice bottle of wine and another gift certificate from a great local take out restaurant. Instead of a night out it would be a quiet night in with a relaxing movie.

What mom wouldn't love a brand new bright white fluffy bath robe? The one she is using now is likely many years old and worn out. These really make nice presents.

Do you enjoy cooking for others? Offer to be mom's personal chef on the next weekend. You could take her order for her favorite family meal. Let her choose the guest list. Head to the store and buy all the ingredients yourself. Then serve her a four star restaurant style meal right in the comfort of her own home. She is sure to appreciate you giving her back a little of what she has given you over the years.

Does mom wear slippers around the home? Slippers are a good standby gift in a pinch. It is one thing that is very reasonably priced, practical and sure to get you a smile.

Does your mom love to drink coffee? Get her a bunch of high end brand name coffee samplers. Make sure you make time to share it with her. She will probably enjoy your company as much as the coffee itself.

How creative are you? If you are a creative person, you could always put together your own gift basket. Pick up a few of your mom's favorite soaps and lotions. Find some other little nice trinkets to put in there and you'll have yourself a nice Mothers Day present.
