If your mom is elderly or lives alone, give herthe gift of a Saturday spent doing things around herhouse. Such as washing her windows, changing lightbulbs and air conditioner filters, working in her yard, hauling away trash, anything she finds it difficult to do for herself anymore.6. Gift baskets are always fun for the recipient andthe giver, too. Fill a pretty basket with things youmake, cookie mixes, dried herbs, needlework, a mugfilled with a couple of specialty tea bags. Line thebasket with a lacy doily or napkin, add a raffia bowand you have a great gift any mother will love.7. If a card is just all you can do this year, makeit really special.

And she'll wonderwhat you'll come up with next year!Life began with waking up and loving my mother's face.- George Eliot, English novelist
