15 Ideas for Not Your Typical Mother’s Day Gifts
1. Spend the day with her – just her, no kids – oh yes, you may have to hire a babysitter this time.
2. Take her to her favorite restaurant. And while you are there relax and talk.

4. Take a mini trip with her -Maybe you are close enough to take a day trip to the mountains or maybe a weekend trip to the beach.
5. Make a beautiful card for her and fill it with a list of what she has taught you through life. Just realize that she may want to read it while she is alone so she can cry a lot.
6. Have a shopping day. – Go thrift shopping, or window shopping, or gadget shopping, or clothes shopping and buy her something special just for herself. You could even shop online together.
7. Invite the family and make a food bar with all her favorite foods/snacks, etc. Is she following a special diet? Gather recipes that fit into that diet and include them on the bar.
