Each year we celebrate the great role mums play in our lives by trying to spoil them with something extra special and personal. These tokens are but a minuscule thank you for all their selfless commitment, unconditional love and enduring care they unswervingly provide us with.

We have chosen a select handful of Mother's Day gift ideas we feel will touch and enhance her life immeasurably.

Handcrafted gifts will always get her all misty-eyed

It is the thoughtful, carefully handcrafted gift ideas that will generally get her all misty-eyed. Create a puzzle from an enlarged photograph of you and your children or decorate her shiny, new motor car with shaving cream, with words of love for the whole world to see - that should get her revved up. Erect a huge, colourful banner in the entrance hall of her home, declaring your undying love for the 'super mum' in your life or simply make her a unique Mother's Day card, where words can speak louder than actions and she will be more than delighted.

Photographs are tangible memories

Get the entire family all buffed and polished for a formal photo session; there is arguably nothing more valuable to the extra special woman in your life than tangible memories, especially if she is far away. If the formality is a bit of a stretch, create a collage from old family pics or simply buy up a couple of unique photo frames made from indigenous woods, pewter or even glass and fill them with pictures of you and your siblings.

Make her work for her booty

Send her on a scavenger hunt where she has to follow precious little clues like crystal paperweights, delicate broaches and other small pieces of jewellery, porcelain figurines or imported Belgian chocolates in order to find the treasure itself. This can be anything from a recipe book to an activity gift voucher.

Go for broke and buy perfume

Go for broke and splurge on that unique and effervescent perfume she chooses to wear. There is nothing more sensual than a great scent and it is unlikely that your mum will spend the household budget on herself, so perfume is always a winner. If you're not a hundred percent sure of her scent, why not select an antique perfume bottle instead and allow her to fill it?

The superlative is, however, flowers

The enduring desire of women of all ages is undoubtedly flowers. These practical memories remain firm favourites as you can give her a personally picked posy, which literally costs nothing, or send flowers to all corners of the globe. The general rule of thumb is that younger children should opt for the small and simple floral gift ideas, while older ones can select more extravagant floral bouquets. Whatever your choice, buying flowers has never been so easy; you can either choose the blooms personally or simply log on and send flowers online.
