Mother's Day comes on May 11. It's a day to show appreciation for all mothers out there. While friends and family scramble to find the perfect gift for mothers, according to The Street, moms usually look for a simple act that illustrate how much you care and value her on Mother's Day, and sometimes, regardless of the age, a homemade or store-bought card with a beautiful saying is enough to make their day.
