How to Honor an Aunt on Mother's Day

If you are lucky, you'll be spending this Mother's Day with the woman who gave you life, and just about everything else you had while growing up. If you are really, really lucky, you have more than one woman in your life to thank for making your childhood special. For many people, that special someone is an aunt, or a special friend who is considered an aunt. Take the time this May to make sure they know how important they are in your life. There are many ways to do that without spending a lot of money.

Many times we are not in close proximity to those we hold dear. Don't let that be an excuse for not sending good wishes. There are several eCard resources online that will help put a smile on your special aunt's face. Try Blue Mountain for cards designed specifically for aunts or ecardica.com, which has a wide array of cards you can personalize.

There are a lot of poem resources online, guaranteeing that you'll never be at a loss for words. Things-to-Say.com and Family Friend Poems has some nice choices. If children want to honor a special aunt with prose but are having a hard time starting, the Educational Technology Training site has a cool poem generator that will let you put in key phrases to make an original poem. You can also get the kids involved in making a cool craft for their special aunt. Ideas for gifts can be found at Kaboose. There are some great handmade card ideas at Enchanted Learning.

There are also some very nice personalized gifts that put aunt and special together. Gifts For You Now has everything from Teddy bears to t-shirts. And wouldn't every aunt like the sentiment, "Aunt...Like Mom, only cooler". Get this saying embossed on a frame at Bippity Boppity Baby, where you can also find lots of other gifts for your hip and happening auntie. There are also some very nice looking charms and beads that feature aunts, including some from the collectible jewelry company Pandora. Special pins and bracelets can be found at Abernook, which features jewelry packaged with beautiful saying.

And what are aunts for if not to give you your heart's desire - especially when your parents say no. That's the inspiration behind the Auntie Claus mug found on Zazzle. Take a moment to let your aunt know you are thinking of her this year and remember this Spanish proverb from Sound of Life, "Only an Aunt can give hugs like a mother, can keep secrets like a sister, and share love like a friend."
