Mother's Day Gift Basket Ideas for Your Girlfriend or Wife

Mother's Day is meant to honor everything a woman does in one of the most important jobs on earth. Choosing one present to show your girlfriend or wife your appreciation on this day can be hard. Why not create a gift basket and fill it with many different things to show her how you feel? Simply buy a basket or container that is in her favorite color and choose from any of the following theme ideas to fill it up with.

1. Beauty Basket
The day is all about her so recognize her feminine side in every way possible. Fill it up with bath and body sets containing bubble bath, body wash and lotions. Throw in a manicure set and relaxing foot spa. Finish it off with a gift certificate to the local salon for a new hairdo.

2. Pampering Basket
In addition to a gift certificate to a local spa, throw in two tickets to her favorite restaurant, a show and hotel reservations to complete the night. Even if you do not use them on Mother's Day, the present can be all about her looking forward to your next date night together.

3. Vacation Basket
Give her two airline tickets, hotel reservations and cash gift cards to a favorite destination. Tell her to call up her best friend for a girls weekend away to get away from it all for awhile and just have fun. Do not forget a new pair of sunglasses, and a gift certificate to her favorite store to buy some new clothes and accessories for the trip.

4. Practical Basket
Some of the best theme present ideas for Mother's Day take some of the responsibility off of your girlfriend's or wife's shoulders for awhile. Gift certificates for house cleaning services, laundry pickup dry cleaners or even construction contractors to remodel the bathroom into a private spa sanctuary can take a load off her mind and pamper her for months to come even after the big day is over.

5. Loving Basket
Fill it up with her favorite flowers and chocolates or other candy delights. Buy her a piece of jewelry that expresses what a beautiful mom she is, like a Mother's Ring or a heart shaped locket that holds a picture of her children. Nestle the box in between drawings or cards that you commission her children to make for her.

When choosing between all of the Mother's Day gift basket ideas for your girlfriend or wife, tune into what she is needing most that year. Combine as many of the theme presents as you want to ensure that she feels treasured and loved on her day.
