                All those hard working mothers everywhere just keep on going and never stop. They are on call 24 hours a day, working for the family in an unpaid job, dealing with the day to day demands that are put upon them, as well as all those unexpected issues such as the outbreak of Chicken Pox, common colds and other illnesses that spread like wild fire throughout the family. Once one of the kids has caught something unpleasant, it is almost certain that everyone else will catch it too, including poor old mum, who would love to take to her bed just as everyone else has done, but needs to keep going, mopping those fevered brows and rushing up and down the stairs with hot drinks, medicine and nourishing snacks. She is unrelenting in her dedication to her domestic duties. Even in bad weather or when the car breaks down, she still makes the long trek to the supermarket to restock the kitchen cupboards, lugging heavy bags until her arms are aching and the family sit down to an evening meal, without appreciating the tough slog that she has endured just to fill their stomachs. Mothers everywhere have mastered the art of multi-tasking so that they can jiggle the baby who is perched on their hip, whilst sweeping the kitchen floor and stirring the scrambled eggs, ensuring that no food gets burnt and no child is unattended. So when Mothers Day approaches, she doubtless looks forward to it with an element of trepidation, wondering if it will also go unnoticed and without any celebrations, but hoping for one day off work. This is a woman who needs to be shown how much she is appreciated, even if you never tell her so during the rest of the year. It does not take much effort on your part to make her happy with lovely Mothers Day Gifts that will tell her just how special she is. Your wonderful mum never asks for help and you probably never think to offer, so make her Mothers Day the best ever this year. Give her your love, volunteer to run the house for the day and run around after her for a change. She will be thrilled to be able to put her feet up, although she may find it difficult at first to avoid checking up on your progress. March her back to an armchair with a steaming cup of tea and slice of cake and banish her from the kitchen. Once you are sure that she has got the message, shower her with some lovely Mothers Day gifts that she can enjoy. 

If your mum needs encouragement to stay in one spot without lifting a finger all day, give her a copy of that wonderful classic, Pride and Prejudice, but with a difference. Whilst she is reading this book, she will realise that, as she always suspected, the plot is all about her in a former life. You can personalise her book by changing the name of Elizabeth Bennet to that of your mum's, as well as changing the names of 5 other leading characters to those of her friends or family members. As if that is not enough, you can also feature her name on the cover as the author too. You will have to prise her out of that comfy chair by bedtime as she will not be able to put this book down.

More great Mothers Day Gifts that will keep her in one place is the Thank You Mothers Day Music CD, featuring 17 beautiful tracks from some of the world's jazz greats, such as Billie Holliday, Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong. This wonderful gift comes in its own attractive presentation tin and is guaranteed to result in one very relaxed mum. 

If she is planning to stay rooted to the spot all day, give her a Chocolate Clock to keep her company, which not only tells her the time but also dispenses a chocolate for her to enjoy every hour. The little trap door will swing open on the hour but closes up again only 30 seconds later, so she needs to be ready to pounce, before sitting back and enjoying the moment. No need to worry about night time chocolate delivery though as these little delights do not appear around the clock and if she feels like a nibble before the next one is due, she can always press the button for an extra treat to come her way. You know how special your mother is and so does she, so show her how much she means to you with Mothers Day Gifts great for a special mum.
