We always have the standard baskets in stock that we can recommend, like a snack basket filled with cookies and candy.  Fruit baskets are nice too.  In fact, you can get really creative with cookie or fruit baskets, and have them arranged to look like edible flowers. 

Another Mother’s Day standard is a gift basket filled with lotions, soaps, gels and creams.  These types of baskets have become standards because they are full of things that most mothers’s like.   However, you don’t have to stick with the old standards.  You can create a mother’s day basket that is suited uniquely for your mom.  Here are four fresh ideas.

For the Mother who likes to garden:  Baskets aren’t nearly as useful in garden as a bucket or a flowerpot, so find a bucket or flower pot to put everything in.  Then add a new pair of gardening gloves, a three piece gardening hand tool set, you know the one with the spade, the hand rake and the trowel.  Throw in a box of Miracle Gro, a bag of potting soil and top it off with bulbs.  Bulbs are great.  You can get them in many varieties, like Tulips, Daffodils, Narcissus, Iris, Hyacinths, Iris or Gladiolas.  This gift is sure to please any mother with a green thumb.

For the Mother who loves movies:
Instead of a basket, got to the local movie theatre and buy one of the largest size popcorn buckets.  Then you can fill it with packages of your mother’s favourite brand of microwave popcorn, a 2 litre bottle of soda, a bag of candy or other favourite munchies, and her favourite old movie on DVD.  Because watching movies alone is never as fun as watching them with someone you love, be sure to include a coupon that will entitle her to an evening with you watching a movie of her choice.  And to spice things up you could even include a gift certificate for two to your Mother’s local movie theatre so she can be sure to see a new release that interests her.  Be sure to wrap the whole thing in cellophane and tie it off with a ribbon.

For the Mother who enjoys cooking:  Get a nice mixing bowl to hold your gift.  Then take a trip to a kitchenware store and buy some new cooking tools for your mom.  A good cook always needs a new wooden spoon, and some hot pads are always nice as well.  Include a book full of new recipes, or a couple new baking mixes for her to try.  You might want to include a bottle of olive oil, or a bag full of gourmet dipping chocolate.  Often stores that sell specialty kitchen ware also offer cooking classes.  Make sure to include a certificate so your mom can attend a cooking class of her choice.  Instead of wrapping this gift in cellophane, wrap it in a pretty towel and tie it off with a bow.

For the Mother who is a die hard sports fan:  Be creative with the basket.  If you mom is into football, think of using an inexpensive child’s helmet.  If she likes basketball, then a net tied closed at the bottom would serve nicely.  And for the baseball fan, a hat turned upside down or even a bat bag.  Fill it with memorabilia from her favourite team.  A key chain, a shower curtain, a fleece blanket, a ball, a coffee mug, a t-shirt, or a teddy bear.  Make sure to include tickets for two to a sporting event close to home.  The tickets don’t have to be expensive seats.  Take her to a local high school game, or a match at the nearest college.  The important thing is to have fun together doing something she will enjoy.
