Special Gifts for Mom!

Moms are a sentimental bunch. In fact, in a recent survey, Motherboard Moms told us they cherish anything that is made for them by their children—from drawings and homemade note cards to ornaments and wreaths made of noodles.

But, let's be honest, what mom wouldn't like a gift that celebrates one of her passions other than her kids? That's why we asked Jennifer and Kitty O'Neil (ONeilSisters.com) to put together theme gift baskets just for moms. Whether you're buying for your own mother or need some hints to drop for yourself, check out this smorgasbord of ideas. Choose one item, build the whole package, or simply use these baskets to inspire your own perfect mom gift.

Gardening Mom
For a mom with a green thumb, gather gardening goodies inside a pail she can use in the spring. Stock it with useful items for every season—from a special tulip planting tool to a snazzy new sprayer. Mom will love unpacking each little treasure and will appreciate all the thought put into this unique present.

Gift basket tip: No matter your gift basket theme, make the container something special. In the case of a gardening gift, you could also choose gardening boots or watering can. And always tuck in a bit of a surprise, like the flowery gloves and the bejeweled garden butterfly.
