Dear Tim: I can't think of what to get my mother for Mother's Day! Can you help me out?

Dear Giftless: I think that a gift honoring your mother (or mother figure) should be something meaningful from the heart. That could be as simple as a handmade card or a homemade meal. Another way to come up with gift ideas is to think about your mother's interests and hobbies. For example, if your mother is into arts and crafts, you could get her some supplies, like a new brush set or a scrapbooking kit. If your mother is into sports, get her tickets to a local sporting event. Another idea is to find out what your mother likes to do to pamper herself. A massage, a manicure or even a set of bubble bath are all great options to give your mother a relaxing treat. Speaking of treats, does your mother like candy or sweets? Bake her some cookies or make her some chocolate covered strawberries. Finally flowers! But instead of a temporary bouquet, pick out a plant that she can keep around as a loving reminder.
