For the Busy Mom<\/strong>
\nThere\u2019s nothing a busy mom would enjoy more than a little bit of\u00a0pampering. By giving her some time on her own, she\u2019ll appreciate the chance\u00a0to put her feet up and relax. A day at a spa or mani\/pedi are always welcome gifts. Or you could make your own Spa In A Jar<\/strong> \u2013 filling it with\u00a0everything a mom could possibly dream of, but would never buy for herself. \u00a0Thanks to The Gunny Sack<\/a> for showing us how to put together the perfectly pampered surprise!<\/p>\n

\nHow about\u00a0a gift mom\u00a0can display\u00a0on the front porch for all to see? \u00a0Giving her a planter in early May will give the flowers a chance to really bloom and blossom throughout the summer. Get creative and use one of these unique planters<\/a> that you can make yourself for extra impact.<\/p>\n

We can all fall back on plants for Mother\u2019s Day, but this year, take\u00a0the time to plant a garden together. It\u00a0can be annuals that will bloom\u00a0all summer long, perennials that last for years to come or what about a vegetable garden? After you enjoy a day planting together, you can both reap the benefits throughout the season. We found this great companion planting guide<\/a> to help you choose the right veggies for this unforgettable gift.<\/p>\n
