Birthday Gifts For Mom

My mom's birthday is just round the corner. I am planning a surprise party for her. She loves to work in the garden, so I decided to arrange a garden party. All her friends are invited. I had requested them to pot, plant and nurture a special shrub or flower for my mom, and bring the plantling over as a gift for their wonderful old friend, my mom. She is sure to love that.
Whenever I notice the joy on her face when she digs in deep, getting her hands all dirty with mud but not once flinching, I just cannot resist but love her all the more. These are the precious moments in her life that rejuvenate the child within.
Here is a list of gifts for those special moms we cannot thank enough for bringing us into this beautiful world.

• Cabernet Grape Bonsai Tree ($84.99)- Truth, goodness, and beauty are considered to be the three basic virtues necessary for the creation of a bonsai. Your mom has shown these virtues many times over in her role as a homemaker. This little plant reflects your admiration for her undying efforts.
• Candles and candle Holders- Relaxing and soothing for the mind and the spirit. Diana Vase/Tealight Holder ($26.95 ), 3 LT. Floating Candles - 3 Light Floating Candles/Holder($17.99 )
• Heated Massage Mat with Neck Therapy ($!49.95) – Its warm massaaging action releases all the tension in her muscles reducing stress, inducing her to sleep like a baby.
• Philips Keychain Digital Camera ($19.95)- For all gadget lover moms. But hey, nothing can be more enjoyable than clicking away pictures of your loved ones and keeping them beautifully laid out in an album for constant viewing and reminiscing.
• Another great idea is arranging for a three day cruise with best friend or dad. After all, mom deserves a few days off for fun and relaxation.
• Or plan a romantic picnic for your parents. Pack up a backpack full of cheeses, bread, wine and water and send along a map to a special place, maybe where they met for the the first time.
• Cheers Champagne flutes- Fluent in the international language of celebration, these glass champagne flutes are etched with traditional toasting words: "cheers" in English, "sante" in French, "salute" in Italian and "prost" in German. Together they constitute a concoction also called Fun.
• Pearl or Diamond Earrings- To enhance her beauty and keep her cheeks glowing.
• Spa gift basket- A day at the spa will certainly sound unbelievable to her at first but once the truth sinks in, it might become tad difficult to bring her back from the spa but hey its her day, so let her relax and have fun.
• Handmade, Personalized Photo Quilts (upto $200)- I bought one of these for my mom last year. It was an intensely emotional moment for both of us.
• Tranquility Tabletop Fountain ($32.96 - $63.95 )- The name speaks for itself. Tranquil peace, isn't that what any mom would die to possess even if it be for a few seconds? Well, this is sure to fulfil that secret desire of hers.

We are all planning to flood her mailbox with Birthday Ecards on D-day. Have to rush with the party preparations. So no tranquility for me right now. Wish me luck.
