When you are getting married you want your mother to feel like her help was appreciated throughout the whole ordeal. That's why the mother of the bride gift is becoming so important these days. It's your own special way to say "thank you".

Some of us have no problem thinking up a gift that our mother would love. Others need a little more help, especially if you have one of those mothers that already seems to have everything. There are so many things out there nowadays that say, "I love you" and "thanks for all your help", that it gets increasingly hard to choose. Here are some great ideas that every mother is sure to love.

Personalized picture frames are a great way to say thanks. There are even shops that specialize in engraving in all kinds of materials like glass, crystal and ceramic.

You can make them say just about anything. Why no get a double picture frame and put a picture of you playing wedding when you were five and a photo of you at the wedding as comparison? This is a great way to have your mother remember you no matter how old you get or where life may take you, especially if you are planning on moving far away.

Perhaps a mother's blanket is a perfect mother of the bride gift. These are embroidered throw blankets that have either a saying for the mother or flowers that she is sure to love. They come in different colors and have unique design or saying stitched right into it. If you want to make them even more personal, you can have a design of your own put onto the blanket, like the family tree. Be sure to include the new husband too!

If your mother is one of those people that is lighthearted and doesn't do well with gifts, perhaps a joke gift is more suitable. A mother of the bride survival bag may be perfect for her. It includes everything that she may need at the last minute like a brush, lint roller, mirror, pen, credit card holder - just in case you decide to make a dash for it at the last minute - bobby pins and safety pins.

Don't worry, there is something that will suit even the pickiest of mothers. No matter what you choose as a gift for your mother, just make her feel it was given with love.
