What’s the best Mother’s Day gift you’ve given or received?

My son who is six made me a card. He said everyday is Mother's day because you are there for me every day. I love you mom. Of all the cards he has made since preschool I'll treasure this one the most. I thought that this was really profound coming from a six-year old.

My eldest son turned 4 in April and this is the first time he has presented me a mother's day gift. At preschool he colored a beautiful card, which included a spot for his hand print, and he wrote his name on the back of the card. What a wonderful keepsake! His fantastic preschool teacher also had each child color a picture to go on the bottom of a see-through plastic plate. My son then arranged a banana, baby carrots, pretzels, cookies, and other goodies on the little platter and covered it with saran wrap "so the bugs don't get in", then he plopped a bow on top. When I arrived to pick him up at preschool, he was waiting with great anticipation (facing the door, staring at it), and proudly presented me with his special gift. The best part came when we got home. He asked me to sit down with him at the table and share the snacks, and we chatted and ate until it was all eaten up. I truly believe this was his first true, authentic, heartfelt experience with "giving". I would have taken a photo but I was caught in the moment, just being. What a wonderful gift - and milestone - certainly one that I will never forget!

I have to say your son is so sweet to make sure his mommy had a present.I know he touch your heart.I would have gave him plenty kisses and hugs for his thougthfullness.what a sweet and loving son you have.

I agree with you it's nothing like good old hand made things.the hat with the stickers I would love to have one,I am a mother so I know your mother would love your hat you made her.
