Easy mothers day gifts for kids to make?

Q. My sister wants to make a mothers day gift and she wants to make it not buy it. Any ideas?

A. Make a 'love jar' and fill it with origami hearts, flowers and slips of paper with notes of appreciation written on them or 'I love you' written in different languages (on the back write which language it is).

A. Put together a gift basket to send to soldiers. Package the gift basket as a present and include useful items like baby wipes, hand warmers (depending on location), brown t-shirts, AA batteries, magazines, icy/hot patches, sewing kit, board games, razors, instant drink mix, cereal bars, soup mix, instant noodles, inflatable pillow, playing cards, dice, toothbrushes and toothpaste.

For overseas soldiers, send a cell phone that takes a SIM card. He can purchase a new SIM card in the country where he's stationed and swap it out to make and receive phone calls. (The phone number will change with each card.)

What do soldiers do, a lot? March. In sweaty, non-breathing footgear. Through nasty terrain. Answer: a foot care kit. This doesn't have to be anything frou-frou - just fill a shaving bag with Dr. Scholl's gel insoles, fungus spray, foot powder, heated socks (yes, they exist), foot deodorizer, charcoal odor absorbers, and whatever else seems appropriate. For those who complain a lot, a foot massager might even be a good choice.
