Expensive wine! –Rachel Lyndhurst, author of The Greek Tycoon’s Tarnished Bride

I begged my kids for YEARS to give me a “World’s Greatest Mom” coffee mug. Instead, they gave me wine. And with that, I believe a message was being sent….-Paula Altenburg, author of Her Secret, His Surprise

Something personalized…My grandmother (my mom’s mom) passed away last year. I found an old birthday card in which she’d written the line, “Take me with you,” and had that engraved in her handwriting on a necklace for my mom. This Etsy shop did the work, and turned it around lightning fast: http://etsy.me/2pTIhQj –Tawna Fenske, author of Marine for Hire

A little pampering: a gift card for a spa day or a pedicure. –Alyssa Goodnight, author of Just Say Yes

Well, I’m not a mother, but if I was I would definitely like a black Arabian mare for Mother’s Day. –Nina Croft, author of His Fantasy Girl

Flowers are always appreciated, or if you want to be her favorite, how about a gift card for a massage? –Tamara Hughes, author of His Pirate Seductress

Maybe that’s not what she meant…

If you’re in the southern hemisphere—like me here in Melbourne, Australia—something warm is a sure bet. A coffee machine would be perfect.-Robyn Thomas, author of His Unexpected Family

Always, always, always, a gift certificate to Mom’s favorite restaurant. The gift certificate tucked inside a card attached to a beautiful bouquet of flowers. –Kathleen Bittner Roth, author of Portrait of a Forbidden Lady

You can never go wrong with a GC for a massage or pedicure! (or both) –Jennifer Shirk, author of From Fake to Forever

I love the flower+chocolate+wine combo. I also love heartfelt gifts, and “coupons”. I think, really, anything that will make her feel cherished and appreciated works. Spa gift cards are always popular, too. –Carmen Falcone, author of A Night of Misbehaving
