It doesn't have to be a wrapped gift. There a few people receiving gift cards to go hog wild spending on exactly what they want at their favorite store. Hopes this gives more ideas to you [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]

Some very pretty women don't own any, some own some, but hardly ever wear what they have. In which case, jewellery isn't a great gift! Some love exotic fragrances from the design houses. If she does, one of those 'samplers' with several small sprays from various designers might make a nice gift. If she's crazy about Chanel (say) and wears it all the time, make a note which particular one and get a bottle. Are there regularly cut flowers in her house, or never? That should answer whether flowers are a good idea, if she never acquires and arranges them herself I doubt she's the flowers-type. A big box of fancy chocs are lovely, unless she's fanatical about healthy food and never so much as buys a pack of chocolate biscuits for herself. A keen reader? Book token! Smart sports car owner? Get her some of that top quality polish the classic car collectors and show-types use to polish theirs? Really it's about looking close at someone and thinking 'what would you love, find useful or both, within my budget?' People who get good at this get a reputation as great gift-choosers. It's not so much an art or a 'knack'. More like the way a detective uses observation, enquiry and elimination until he's left with the prime suspect. Best wishes.

Now I said your question was ALMOST impossible to answer. There are things you can do for mom to show your love for her on Mother’s Day that cost you nothing but time and effort. Such as doing things for her you would not normally do to give her time to relax. Such things as:
1. Getting up and cooking breakfast for everyone.
2. Doing the family laundry.
3. Cleaning the house for her.
4. Cook a nice dinner. This also helps dad as he doesn't have to take you all out to dinner.
If your mom is like my mom was she will appreciate you doing something special for her far more than something materiel that will be gone in hours, days or months. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
