Some ideas include putting in slippers, a water bottle, face masks, flowers, their favorite snacks, and a card. We’re always making boo-baskets and burr-baskets for our friends, so why not one for Mother’s Day?

To add to their collection of favorite memories, you can create a photo book with pictures of your family and your mom, so that she can hold all her memories in one place. This is a thoughtful present that will only require a photo book and some printed pictures. You can always decorate it to make it look the way you want, and it will be nice to look back on in the future.
