Mother's Day is approaching once again and many of us are stumped as to what to buy as a gift. Here are a few ideas that may work for you.

1. Time

Often we, myself included, have a hard time finding time to spend with our mothers with our hectic schedules. I'm a perfect example of this and I know it's not fair. Our mothers constantly put aside time for us growing up (and still do); and I think one of the best gifts to give is our time. (Especially if you're a poor college student.)

2. Bottle of wine

If your mom enjoys a nice glass of wine at night, maybe with her dinner, invest in a nice bottle. It's a gift sure to be used and appreciated.

3. Buy her a massage certificate

Let's be honest, a massage sounds nice. This is a good way to show your appreciation and provide her with some much deserved pampering.

4. Pay for her to get her nails done

This is an opportunity to give two gifts at once. Paying for her nails, and spending time with her as you may be able to go with. Make a day of it, get your nails done, see a movie, enjoy a glass of wine.

5. Make her something

Maybe it's a cute thank-you video from you and your siblings that shows how much she's appreciated. Maybe it's a picture frame filled with memorable times. Maybe it's a scarf, painting or something written.

6. Treat her to dinner

Simple, but special as you'll be able to spend time with her and treat her to her favorite place for dinner, and make sure they serve dessert!

6. Candles

If you completely dropped the ball, candles it is. Don't know what to get a woman for Mother's Day, a birthday, Christmas? Candles are always a safe bet.

7. Gift basket

Fill a basket with her favorite things -- coffee, nail polish, candle, candy, etc.

These seven ideas are few of many out there. Take advantage of the relationship you two have and get her something you know she'll appreciate. Material things can be nice, but remember, time often is the most meaningful gift there is.
