Loving Notes box or jar- you can decorate a box with small mirrors and beads or glass paint a simple glass jam jar and keep in loving notes from all of you.

Picture book or magnetic  picture frame- make your own little album using hand-made paper and ribbons or lace. and jot down your memories with the pictures. 

for the picture frame use old fridge magnets or buy a magnet sheet from the hardware store.

Card or poem- well all mothers dote over this one.
