When my oldest was little, my husband took her shopping for a gift for me. She walked in the door beaming with pride and said, “We got you a clock but we’re not telling because it’s a surprise!” My husband said he talked to her the entire ride home about how to keep a secret, but I guess she missed the point.

Below are some gift ideas for even the hardest women to shop for in your life. (If you see something you like for yourself, pass it on to your husband or kids as a subtle hint.)

Flowers. A traditional gift that is fail-proof and classic. Check out these great deals from FTD that are guaranteed to last 7 days. This is a great way to spoil a long-distance mom or surprise her at work. The link is HERE.

Herb Gardens. These make a great, inexpensive gift that keeps on giving. The kids can help plant it and even put their own handwritten ID tags into the soil for a personal touch that any grandma would love.

Entertain Her. For moms that are big readers or movie buffs, you can’t go wrong using this 40 percent off Border’s coupon. Check it out HERE.

Hip Moms. Old Navy is doing a storewide sale – everything is 30 percent off. Buy mom a new cover-up for the pool or a cute sundress.

Paint Her A Perfect Picture. Not an artist? Not a problem. Canvas People are offering their 8 x 10 photo conversion to canvas for FREE. You supply a photo and just pay the $14.99 in shipping. Check it out HERE.

A Trip to The Spa. A pedicure or a manicure is a great way to kick off spring. It’s also a self-indulgent treat for a hard-working mom who is always on the go.

Got Gadgets (And a Big Budget)? If you have a high-tech momma on your list then you should consider splurging on a new digital camera, a smart phone, an iPad or Kindle, or a Blu-ray player.

Give Service. I love to children find ways to serve me –my making my bed, rubbing my shoulders, or by hosting a talent show or skit. They always come up with ways to make me feel appreciated.

From Scratch. My kids have also spoiled me with hand-drawn artwork for my office, homemade jewelry, and meals made from scratch on Mother’s Day. They put their whole heart and soul into making the day special for me and it’s wonderful to see that some of my hard work has actually sunk in. There’s no better gift than to see that your children are happy to sincerely give back to you.
