Each mother is nurturing in a different way. You can see her gentle touch in the way she carefully places a band aid on a scraped knee, or scrambles eggs in the morning for her growing brood. You feel her warmth as she volunteers at school or church functions, opening her heart, not just to her family, but to the community. What kind of nurturer is your mom, wife or daughter?
The Nature Lover
Does your special lady love all creatures, great and small? Is her idea of a perfect morning sipping a cup of coffee, reading the paper next to a picture window watching the birds courting each other? Is she on the lookout for insects trapped inside that need to be let out? Does she rescue stray animals and nurse them back to health? If her lovely afternoon is spent talking to the animals, consider the Perch! Bird Feeder or the Modern Nesting Box that will frame the tableaux of feathered friends outside her window. Check out more ideas For the Birds.
The Gardener
Gardening is one of the most obvious types of nurturing. The benefits of a gardener are on display for everyone to see. A thriving vegetable garden, a riot of color outside the front door, or a carefully designed knot garden that is the pride of the lady of the house, and the neighborhood garden club is the sign of a true nurturer. Help her make her garden grow with durable tools like Spear & Jackson’s Garden Hand Tool Set or Bypass Pruners that will last as long as her gardening stamina.

Hostess with the Mostess
Entertaining and party planning is yet another form of nurturing. Some fabulous entertainers consider nothing to be more fun than hosting friends and family for a delicious meal or cocktail hour-fun, food and relaxing. Part of the gracious entertainer’s arsenal of tools is the tableware and flatware in which everything is served. Help your nurturing hostess prepare a beautiful event with new Roost Sapling Servers [bronze or silver] or create an easy modern, nature-inspired table setting with a few Glass Tealight Logs. She’ll be so excited to host her next party. If you treat her well on Mother’s Day, she’ll be sure to invite you. Check out more gift ideas For the Entertainer.
