Mother’s Day Care Package
Chances are that if you’re away at college that your mom has sent you a care package. How delighted were you when you walked away from the mail room knowing that she had spent the time putting together a box of some of your favorite things? Why not give her that same feeling for Mother’s Day by making her a care package of your own. Here are a few things you can include:
Photographs- We all know moms are suckers for the sentimental. Play it up by sending her photos of you- bonus if it is a photo of you and her together. Plus, she probably still thinks you’re just as cute as the day you were born.
Bake her something- If you know her favorite recipe of chocolate chip cookies, why not whip up a batch. Just make sure that you send them in an air tight container. She’ll be thrilled that you put that much thought into something.
Custom Stamped Jewelry- This is a big trend right now and you can find some very economical pieces at etsy.com. Think of including all of her children’s names or go with something as simple as “super mom.”

Thank you note- A well thought out note of appreciation can trump almost every gift out there. Sit down and write a card letting her know just how much she’s helped you. Chances are now that you’re on your own that you realize how much cooking and cleaning was done for you in the first place.
Bath Salts- or other products she can use to pamper herself. You may not be able to send her to the spa for a day but you can certainly spring for a sugar scrub that will make her look and smell fantastic.
Magazine Subscription- With all the choices out there you’re bound to find one that would peak your mother’s interest. On top of that, magazine subscriptions are super affordable these days. Buy a copy from the news stand and include a note that she’ll be receiving the mag for the next year. You’ll seem thoughtful year round.
Whether or not you get around to sending her a care package at least make sure to call her on the big day. Chances are, hearing your voice alone will make her grin.
