Some of the most treasured gift cards for mom have proven to be the kind you make yourself and she can redeem when ever she chooses. One of my favorites was the coupon my daughter gave me that I could redeem for "instant action" from her "without complaint". I kept it on the refrigerator door. I've included serveral suggestions for this type coupon gift for the special women in your life.

Other ideas for purchasing gift cards would be at your local grocery store such as Publix and Kroger who are now housing gift card kiosks for restaurants and stores.  Also, there is always Visa and American Express cards available at your bank or online at their websites.

If you prefer to be among the millions of people who still choose to go to the brick and mortar stores; you might need some ideas for mom.  Some presents mom will love this year include spa treatments, spring flowers, a digital picture frame or houseware products.

Have a mother-in-law, stepmom or aunt who has every top quality kitchen appliance but can't cook? Try finding a local culinary school or your local William and Sonoma and get her some cooking lessons.
