    Here are just a few of my ideas: -Write a card. Many moms would find a heartfelt card expressing appreciation to be one of the most touching gifts ever. You could even write it on inexpensive stationery or get creative and make your own card to save the $3-$5 it often costs to buy a card. You might also check your local dollar store for inexpensive cards. -Make up a basket of goodies. Do you have lots of extra fun items you've gotten for free or almost free with coupons? How about making up a gift basket or care package to send to your mom? Write little notes on each item and package it up beautifully and she might just think it was the greatest gift ever! -Put together a special photo album. With all the great photo deals recently, you could probably pull this off very inexpensively and it could be incredibly meaningful if your mom loves something like this.

    What I really want for Mother's Day is not stuff, except in the sense that it reflects that the giver thinks about what I want and need--and appreciation tops the list! I can't imagine a mom who wouldn't treasure a sincere handwritten card more than a $100 floral arrangement.
