15 Thoughtful Mother's Day Gifts

Mothers frequently go above and beyond their roles. They often serve as as a counselor, cook, house-cleaner, financial advisor, nurse, fashion consultant and more. If you've been blessed with a great mother, here are fifteen gifts to consider for this Mother's Day.

1. Photo Bracelet

If you want to give her a gift that her friends will envy, this is the one. It includes photos of her children, grandchildren, or other special people (or even pets) in her life. To order one visit http://www.memorymakerbracelet.com/. It is best for you to put the photos in - try to collect photos of her children/grandchildren, etc. then have them sized down at a copier (or you can do it yourself if you're familiar with Adobe Photoshop) - and put the bracelet together. It's a gift she'll cherish for a long time.

2. Gift Certificate for a Professional Massage

Who doesn't want a professional massage? Not only are there many health benefits of massages, it is a perfect gift that shows she deserves to be pampered. Try to find a reputable one - ask friends/family for recommendations. You can also visit http://www.amtamassage.org to find a local therapist.

3. Personalized Plate, Mug or Bowl

Most cities and larger towns now have a paint-your-own ceramics studio. To find a studio near you, go to http://www.paintyourownpottery.net. Not all studios are listed, however, so you might google your city name and "pottery studio". If you can't locate one, you can order one through http://makit.com/ or www.tobysplates.com. If you can locate a studio, some ideas are: a plate/platter with everyone's handprint or baby's footprints, or a special note from everyone saying how much they appreciate her.

4. Membership to a "Gift of the Month" Club

You can find many great gifts onine.
