Whether it's a card, flowers, or more expensive expressions of love, Mother's Day gifts come in all shapes and sizes.
But many of the Moms we spoke with at Valleydale Church say the best gifts don't have to cost much at all.
What makes a good Mother's Day gift for the Mom who has everything? Just a little more of your time.
"Getting to spend time with these little fellas and my daughter and my mother, I lost my grandmother about three years ago, and I guess that made me realize how special our relationships in our family are so it makes them doubly precious," said Bonnie Self.
And their Mom says one word comes to mind for how she feels.
sot marissa brooks: "Lucky,” Marissa Brooks said, “That I'm lucky enough to have two beautiful healthy children."
It was a common theme.
"Time with your child after they go away to college," said Deborah Barth.
And Lisa Love added,"They've taken me out to eat and always give me pretty cards, but just spending time with me is the best thing because they're getting older."
The husband of one mom who didn't want to go on camera says she is his mother's day gift: “When I married her I thought she was going to make a good wife, and then we had children and I realized she was made to be a Mom, and then we had grandchildren and I realized she was really made to be a Grandmom," said Russell Poore.
A lady who became a mother when her child was nine years old says her best Mother's Day gift came the year she became a grandmother.
"She came to me with a Mother's Day card, first one I'd ever gotten from her, and she said that she appreciated the fact that I was her mother, and that she was glad that I was her mother, and that she had learned how to mother from me, so that was the best mother's day present I think I ever received," said Sabrina Turner.
