Mother's Day 2010 is the second Sunday in May (9th May).

Mother's Day is here again. It is one of the most popular of all such days that honour relationships. Of the many people who add value to our lives, a mother is undoubtedly the most special. Whether it is your own mom or someone you look up to, the basic thought behind Mother's Day is expressing yourself to that someone who has been with you throughout your life.

One of the ways of letting her know that she is indeed valued by you is by gifting her on Mother's Day (sending Mother's Day gifts, giving gifts on this occasion). The most basic essential to be understood before going gift shopping on Mothers Day is the personality type of your mom.

Is your mother working or a homemaker, outgoing or a homebody, loves to travel or do gardening or maybe loves fashion or shopping every few days. If you have analysed or observed closely her nature and preferences, then choosing the perfect gift for her becomes easy. Here we present some gift ideas for a mother who has a modern outlook and lifestyle.

Apparels for the Well Dressed Lady
Your mother is someone who loves dressing up on occasions and even without them. She is probably the person whom you consultwhenever you have to take decisions regarding the latest in fashion and the trends in clothes. Maybe she is just particularly well turned out and concerned about making the right impression.

Simply said, the choice of a Mother's Day present for her is what make sher look beautiful and pleasingly attractive. Gift her apparels which might range from a new dress to work out clothes, from formals to informals and from traditional ethnic wear to western wear.

Latest Gadgets for the Techno Savvy Mom
Have you noticed that she, your mom, loves moving with the times and always feels that time is short for anything and everything that she might want to do. Or maybe, she wants to or needs to accomplish the maximum possible in a short period. Then, this Mother's Day show her how much you care, gift her something that assists her in her daily and long term challenges.

Gadgets which make the work around the house easier or make it easier for her in balancing her home and work life. Be it kitchen ware or an electronic personal care product or planners and communicators, all come under this category of gifts.

Art Work or Collectibles for Your Mom
For someone who is accomplished in her own right, who has her own identity for the world to recognise and appreciate, a hobby of art or music is a natural outcome which brings him/her full circle to a wholesome life.

Even if her busy schedule and forward thinking and quick acting approach make it difficult for your mom to appreciate the small pleasures in life like collecting art or music or decorating and designing, still a gift of art or other valuable collectibles can be and should on your list of Mother's Day gift ideas.

A Holiday as a Mother's Day Gift
After a period of hard work and keeping up to the demands of a busy life, the least our mothers deserve is a long sought after holiday. Why do you not be the one to give her this. It would be the most beautiful surprise and one much appreciated by her for a long time to come.

She is sure to love you for making this occasion extra special and memorable for her. It would also mean a rare time off without the daily work and chores and duties to bother her and a time spent with loved ones.
