Mothers day is almost here! (For some of you it's already here) And if you've forgotten or haven't had the chance to look for a gift for your wonderful mother yet, you're probably stressing out right now. No need to fear though! Here are some last minute tips and ideas of what you can do for her!

1.) Make a gift! If you're a broke college student like me, it can be hard to get your mom what she deserves. You feel deeply guilty, but the greatest thing about moms are that they're understanding. The best gift you can give her is a hand made gift! It's made with love, something money won't ever be able to buy. You can make a card, mix CD, pick out some flowers from your garden and make a gift basket. You can also make a video of pictures (pictures of your mom, family, with you and her) using her favorite song(s). Or you can get some paper and cut out some pictures to make a photo collage. You can write her a song, poem, anything works really. All you have to do is use your imagination and be creative!

3.) Take her out to a restaurant! Now if you do have some cash to spare, take your mom out to her favorite restaurant! I know it can be a little busy and crowded on Mothers Day, but the best thing you can do is make reservations ahead of time or be as patient as possible! Or if you're anything like my mom and I, take her out the next day. There's no harm in that, especially if you are one of those great people that work all day on Mothers Day!
4.) Breakfast in bed! One thing I am most sure that all mothers love is, taking a break from all the house work they have to do. If you know how to cook, surprise your mom with her favorite dish! There are some out there (me...) who might burn the house down by just turning on the stove... If that's the case, make something simple, such as her favorite bowl of cereal. Or pick up some outside food and have it ready in bed for her by the time she wakes up!
5.) Clean! Clean! Clean! If any of the above tips don't work out for you, just clean your damn room. If your room is already clean, clean another room. Better yet, clean the entire house! Mothers love the sight and smell of a clean house, nothing will make her feel more at ease.
6.) Spend some quality time! Whether you choose to stay at home or go out, make sure to spend some quality time with your mom. If you decide to stay away from the crowded mall and restaurants, order pizza or grab some of your favorite junk food and watch your mom's favorite movies and TV shows with her!
Our moms deserve the best, we all know that. If one thing is not enough, do everything that's on this list. Do a couple of things, or do just one of them! Show your mother how much you appreciate her with a little love and extra attention. Now we all say, "We should treat everyday like it's mothers day," and that's very true. Deep down though, we still want to do something for the woman that birthed, raised, and provided for us. It wouldn't feel right to pass up such a special day, so we celebrate in the best possible way!
