They say that with gifts, it's the thought that counts and I agree. That's why you need to put a little thought into what you give someone for Mother's Day. I mean some gifts are not thoughtful. Not to sound like an ingrate or anything, but COME ON!
To get a thoughtful gift for a mother, think of her and what would be nice for her, not for her house, not for her kids, not for anyone other than her. I can't tell you the perfect gift to get for the mother you're shopping for because I don't know her, but I can tell you what not to get for most mothers.

Here are five gifts that you should never get a mother on Mother's Day:

Cooking class
Do not give a mom a cooking class for Mother's Day! That's like saying, "Hey, your cooking could totally use some work!" It be better if you signed everyone else in the family up for a cooking and washing dishes class. Then the mom in the family could reap the rewards.
Magnifying mirror
Personally, I think magnifying mirrors should be banned. No one, but no one needs to see their pores enlarged to the size of craters. EVER.
Garbage can
If "mom" complains time and time again that the trash can is always full and no one takes it out except her, do NOT go and buy her a bigger trash can. That's not what she was hoping for.
A puppy
Puppies are awesome. So cute, cuddly and adorable. But do not give a mom a puppy for Mother's Day. She has enough of her own puppies to take care of at the moment, thank you very much.
Clothes that are the wrong size!
Just don't! My husband gives me clothes that don't fit all the time and it just makes me feel bad. Stay away from clothing as a gift for mom, give her a gift card instead.
