HUMMINGBIRD FEEDERS: She'll enjoy their visits (almost) as much as yours.
I've never met a Mom who didn't get excited at the arrival of sweet hummingbirds. Regardless of where Mom resides, there's a hummingbird feeder for any environment. These feeders can be hung from metal rod holder in a yard or garden or from a nail on the porch eave. No yard or porch? No problem. They even come with suction cups that allow them to hang right on a window. Don't forget a box of nectar mix; it only needs hot water to complete. Every child can contribute whether mixing the nectar, assembling the feeder or hanging it. Get the feeders in place for Mom on her special day. With the arrival of every lovely bird, Mom is sure to be reminded of the love from all of those in her own nest!
Hum it up for Mom: Have each child collect an interesting hummingbird fact to impress Mom and share them in her Mother's Day card. Even young children can draw or cut out magazine photos of hummingbirds for the cards to complete the theme.
WATERING CANS: No more green plastic for Mom.
No Metal watering cans are back and now they come in a variety of bright colors. They are a great accompaniment to buying Mom a blooming shrub, a mixed pot of flowers or an herb dish garden. Each child can personalize Mom's new can with pictures and messages written in with permanent markers, which also now come in a variety of colors. Love will really pour out for Mom from this personalized gift.
Shower her with love: Tie ribbons and bows to Mom's newly decorated water can and fill with flowers for a beautiful centerpiece for her special day.
A spring garden-themed gift is always perfect for the ones who nurture us as we grow and love us weeds and all!
