It is the gesture and thoughtfulness that counts on Mother’s Day."
2. Make something she will love
Our mothers will love whatever we do - from the potato print pictures of early years to the hastily hand tied bouquets of flowers and bountiful baking, but being thoughtful is what is important for mother’s day, not size or cost. A pair of mittens or a shawl, or an embroidered message will all hit the spot - it’s the thought that counts!
