good comfortable shoes, a day at a spa, take her out for a
meal at a good place, a vacation

In order of price range: a certificate for a day spa while you leave your little siblings with a babysitter, a certificate to get a massage for an hour or two while you babysit the siblings, a nice pair of slippers and some bubble bath and a promise to take your little siblings to the park for a couple of hours so she can have some peace and quiet...get the theme here? Give mom a chance to have a break from the kids so she can pamper herself, if only for an hour or two. :)

A day off. She can sleep in or soak in a bathtub
Bath salts, bath bombs, the ones that fizz and create nice smelling bubbles.
A nice dress for the next important occasion.
A pretty pair of shoes, not another non slip kitchen safety-certified ugly shoes.
Dinner at a posh restaurant where a chef she respects cooks the meal.

How approximately cooking her a great meal, with a very good dessert, then espresso and a brandy. enable her placed her ft up, do no longer enable her help with the bathing up. i'm particular that would recommend extra to her than presents. Or take her out for a meal, then later for a instruct or some thing. in simple terms manage her particular which does no longer recommend spending a load of money. i comprehend I definitely have continuously favorite that kind of giving from my infants

How about a nice picture of you and your sblings, along with a nice cooked meal for her, a foot massage at home , she sounds like a Mom that is to tired to go out. Tell her how much you appreciate her.

she sounds like a hard working mom! why not get her that 'glove wax' thing for her hands...it has parifin wax in it and she soaks her hands in there for a minute and they are rejuvenated. or a day spa package to use on a well deserved day off. a lot of salons will give you a year before the certificate expires. i don't know your age, but a booklet filled with different chores you will do so she can get a break-that's cute. or even have a cleaning service come in and clean the house one day to surprise her...i know my mom is hard to shop for too, so good luck! :)

You have a computer--that's obviousl.... so why not give her a gift that keeps on giving all through the year.... YOUR SERVICES...print up little coupons---"gift certificates" for things like cleaning the house or doing dishes or making dinner for her or babysitting or whatever services you might be able to provide for her---something above and beyond what you might already do for her.... and when you print them up, make them so that they express how much you want to help her relax after her tough day at work...

Buy her some new cooking tools. If here job is to cook then get here something that will benefit at home and at work. Just make sure there not the crappy cooking utensils.

What about a g/c to a salon where she can pamper herself one afternoon?
A mother's ring with you and your siblings birthstones? If it is too much money, maybe someone can chip in to help you.
Books, lotion/bath packages, a figurine, perfume, picture, a nice shirt...something smaller to open up on Christmas Day, and then treat her to a surprise lunch date after Christmas.

something from the heart is always welcome. Make her a coupon book with little coupons for doing the dishes...or watching the other kids...giving her a neck rub...or making sure she gets an hour in a bubble bath with soft music and candles in the bathroom...give her a coupon for breakfast in bed...doing laundry...you know her best...be creative and you will be surprised at how much she will love your thoughtful gift.

My mother's day gift was a chocholate cake and I bake it myself. The idea of baking came across my mind to make something different, as for my Mom previous birthdays, mother's days and wedding anniversaries, I always gave her cards, books, flowers, vases, clothes, and accesorries.

perfume, makeup...
maybe a paid day at the spa,, or the works at a salon, like you could get her hair, nails, toes, and a facial for her... Take her out to dinner and the movies.. Give her an open dated handmade certificate for a free babysitting date (where you sit the siblings while she goes out)... send a cleaning service over to her house for one day...
cook a full meal for her one night..
Theater, ballet, concert tickets?

Wouldn't it be nice for your mom to come home to a nice
clean house, just before Christmas, with a Christmas card
that had an I.O.U. to clean the "Christmas Dinner" dishes.
Now, that's from the "heart." Merry Christmas to all. *~<}:-})>

You can get her a gift certificate for a spa...manicures are pretty affordable.
You can give her coupons redeemable for chores you do for her.
You could make her a meal or two!
Fresh flowers are ALWAYS a hit!

Here is the perfect gift for your mother, and she would probably thank you for months to come.
Get her a massage gift certificate for her to go down to your local massage theropist and have all of her worries, and aches and pains rubbed away to make her feel like she is worth millions.
Worked for me!!!!

What about something that she could pamper herself with? Like one of those massagers that you put on your chair and it will relax your back etc...if she's a head cook I imagine she's on her feel all day, something like a back massager or foot massager might be an idea...?

Well, you can cook for her and clean. Moms always like that. Give her a card and some candy. Something simple....
