Every mom has received flowers for Mother's Day. Boring! We think your mom might appreciate a little something else instead or in addition to the traditional Mother's Day roses.

• Most moms are overworked and under appreciated but there’s something you can do about it this holiday. Present mom with a book of coupons to redeem for everything from Maid Service to a Wash, Dry and Fold Laundry Service! If you’re brave, let mom make up her own coupon. No matter what you decide, she’ll love you for giving her a chance to relax on her special day. And you can get creative by rolling the coupons around the stems of flowers or tuck them in her gift card envelope.
• Take some of the load off your overworked mom.  While she’s at work or running errands, clean up the house or do a few loads of laundry. Or, make her breakfast instead of the other way around.  Moms love breakfast in bed!!!  
• Sometimes it may seem like there's nothing you can get your mom that she doesn't already have. Instead of giving up, give her a gift that gives back. Pick an upcoming weekend to volunteer with your mom at a local shelter or organization. After all, spending valuable time with you is worth more to her than anything you could ever buy.
• Think about everything she has done for you.  She may work a full time job, come home, clean the house, wash the dishes, do the laundry, make dinner, and spend some time showering you with love.  She may stay at home with the kids, drive to soccer practice, ballet recitals, cheerleading camp, she may be a Girl Scout troop leader, PTA member, volunteer at the school, or do any number of things on a daily basis to show how much she loves you. How is it even possible to show your mom how much she really means to you in just one day?  It's simple. Tell her. It's as simple as that. Give your mother your heart-felt thanks for all that she has done to make you the person you are today.
