Mother’s Day is coming up on May 12. This is a ritual holidays that aging families can really celebrate. Here’s some gift ideas you do can make Mom feel extra special. These ceremonial holidays and gifts mean so much more when parents are older.
Bringing the grandchildren into the celebration is a lovely gift in itself.
Handmade cards from grandkids are a top drawer present. . You can have the young artists mail their colorful greetings or think of giving Mom My Celery to deliver the message. This is an easy 2 way computer free e-mail where the grandchildren can e mail grandma a greeting for mothers day- or any day they want.

If your kids or you are arty make a mobile for Mom /grandmom. Attach cutouts of items she loves most -like her cat, photos of the grandkids or her favorite food. (mine would be chocolate covered cherries.)
