1. Hug Her

The power of a hug is underestimated, and it's among the amazing ways to show your mom that you love her. It's always great to get warm, hugs from your babies, even if your babies are forty, fifty, or older. I hug my mom a lot!

2. Write Her Corny Notes

Leaving your mom corny little notes is sweet and hilarious. However, don't tape one to her steering wheel without signing your name. As I have learned from my seventy-five-year-old mom, this could scare them, and if you don't duck at the right time, you could get maced.

3. Jewelry-It Works!

It doesn't have to break your budget. You can just get her something that's significant to her. It could be something as simple as a heart-shaped charm or a full charm bracelet. It could also be something vintage. I recently found a jewelry lot on eBay. Within it was a Gucci watch. One watch battery and a new band later, my mom has a beautiful designer watch.

4. Clean Her House

You may think I'm nuts, but seriously, how many years did she clean up after you? You can take a few hours to tidy things up for her and even do her laundry. It lets her know that you've appreciated all that she's done for you. If you want to take it one step further, you can cook her dinner, too.

5. Take Her out for Dinner

Certainly, your mom has a favorite restaurant. Mine loves Ruby Tuesday. Steak and frozen margaritas are a great way to show your mom that you love her. It's fun to see her get all giggly and tipsy, too.

6. Spa Day!

A spa day is an amazing way to show your love and admiration for your mom. She can relax with a massage and receive treatments that will add a healthy glow to her skin. If she's never been to a spa, I would prepare her for the fact that she'll be naked under the towels. It's better to test her comfort zone ahead of time. That way, no one ends up with an elbow to the face.

7. Day Trip

Choose a location that your mom loves. This could be the beach, lake, or mountains. However, choose a place that doesn't require a lengthy travel time. Grab all of your essentials and a little extra cash for souvenirs.

8. Shopping, Anyone?

As a self-professed shopaholic, I love taking my mom shopping. I gained my bargain shopping ways from my mom. She has a knack for finding great deals. And she loves shopping, too. I love to see that light in her eyes when she finds something beautiful in her size.

9. Take Her Pet to the Groomer

Your mom loves her pet, just as much as you love your own. And sometimes, she needs a little help. Surprise her by taking her dog or cat to the groomer for a mini-spa day while she's at hers.

Your mom is great, and it's up to you to show her as often as possible. Give her as many memories with you as possible. What are some things you have done to make your mom feel special?
