By Terry Stanfield

Buying gifts for mom can be challenging if you don't know the art of doing so. Taking the time to understand the finer points of gift buying can pay rich dividends in terms of gratitude and appreciation. Yes, every gift will be appreciated and thanked for but not every gift will be remembered.

The following sic points will make you a bit smarter when it comes to purchasing gifts. Also, these key points will ensure your gift(s) to your mom will be remembered and cherished for a very long time. Keep these points in mind and the next time you purchase a gift for your Mother you will have little or no trouble.

Key number 1: Instead of going for the usual conventional gifts, try to determine what your mom really needs. Catering your gift to her needs will ensure that she actually uses it and each time she uses your gift it will remind her of you.

Key number 2: Apart from trying to determine what your mom needs also try to find out what she would like to have more than anything - a special gift for mom. There are surely many gift-able items out there that would not only hold a high utility for mom but rather it would also hold a sentimental value.

Key number 3: Don't let the price tag scare you too much. Although this may sound like unreasonable advice but it's important that you don't take the price tag too seriously - for example, would you want your mother's jewelry to be something that she thanks you for but is too scared to wear on a big occasion?

Key number 4: When it comes to buying gifts for mom, your instincts will guide you greatly. Trust and follow your instincts and you will be surprised how delighted she will be.

Key number 5: A mother's gift multiplies in sentimental value when it is something that is symbolic or metaphoric to the family. Now you may think that it would be difficult to find something like that but rest assured that a little ingenuity can go a long way.

Key number 6: Last but not least, make the presentation beautiful and present it at the right time and in the right way. Gifts bought with good intentions go a long way but gifts bought with good intentions and presented correctly can go even further.

The fact of the matter is that buying gifts for mom is a very personal experience and it should be different for each individual. Nowadays with so much commercialism, that personal touch has lost its place. The basic key to buying your mother a gift should be send the message that you have thought and pondered before buying her a gift.
