Perfect Mother's Day Gifts From the Heart

Mother's Day is quickly approaching as is the scramble to find the perfect Mother's Day Gift.

I reached out on social media and asked, what is the best Mother's Day Gift you have ever received.  Some of the answers were ones I expected, but many were not.

Some of the answers for the best Mother's Day Gift:

Deb of It's Me Deb said: "The joy of finally being pregnant 15 years ago.  While I was super sick, I was five months along and loving it."

Christina of Mommy's Messy Miracles:  "My oldest was due on Mother's Day in 2011.  He arrived a week and a half early, so I consider having him here safe and sound for my first Mother's Day the best present ever!

Brooke of Blushing Noir: "I love my kids and all and NOTHING makes me happier than when they bring him something they made (I still cry when my son writes that he loves in in a card.. that NEVER gets tired) BUT when my kids and DH come together and Clean the house the way I like it, that's the best gift ever!"

Kathy of Penny Lane: "My son was born in May 2010 and so my best Mother's Day present was becoming a mommy for the first time."

Laura of My Newest Addiction:  "The first one my kid made himself and I had no idea it was coming.  It was a framed picture of himself.  Frame made out of Popsicle sticks and fake flowers attached."

Love their responses! I was surprised by how many said when they became a mom. What was the one common theme for all of the answers for the best mother's day gift?  It is something unique and from the heart. No need for fancy store bought presents (though some moms may want those) but a gift that represents something irreplaceable and captures those precious moments.
