April 29, 2010— -- Mother's Day is May 9. Do you know what you're going to get your mom to show how much you love her?Four experts appeared on "Good Morning America" today to discuss gifts that you can buy -- or make -- for mom.
Kate Dimmock, fashion editor for People StyleWatch magazine, lifestyle expert Nancy Soriano, Becky Worley, technology contributor for "Good Morning America," and restaurateur and style expert B. Smith, shared their recommendations.
Here are their Mother's Day gift ideas:
Soriano recommended several home-made gifts. They're affordable, perfect for conveying that extra special personal touch, and children can make them fairly easily under adult supervision.
Message center: This is a great project for Dad to supervise the kids. Take a ready-made black chalk board (available at craft stores), and have the children paint or stain the frame. Then add cup hooks to the bottom or side edge of the board's frame. Embellish the board with, say, vintage scrabble pieces or mosaic tiles. Tie a ribbon so mom can hang it and have your children write mom a Mother's Day message in colorful chalk. She can use it in the home office, in the laundry room or other parts of the house.
