Mothers Day is almost here. The day we celebrate the one  person in our lives who has done everything to make us in to who we are today. So what do you get the person who gives her all but doesn't expect much in return?

A poll done showed that seventy-three percent of Americans say that mom really doesn't care what you get her. She gets excited about any gift she receives.

BUT if you're celebrating Mothers Day with others, when you take that photo of everyone, including mom, make sure mom is IN the photo and front and center! Most mothers who are on social media say they're not in many of the photos because they're the ones who are usually taking the group photos. And most don't get copies of those photos that they're in.

Most moms say they're actually in less than half of they family photos in their phones camera roll. In fact twenty-six percent of moms say they're in none at all!

So what's the best gift for mom? Any gift! Mom's just want to know you show they're appreciated. But most importantly, take that photo with mom in it! Make sure she gets it, because memories are most important to her!

We have more on this story and others in today's edition of a Few Things You Should Know!

What Do I Get Mom For Mother’s Day

"What do I get mom for Mother's Day?" It's right around the corner, so now's the time to ask yourself,  Looks like we found you a few great ideas for you. The Mike & Carla Morning Show love sharing ideas. Now keep in mind these ideas won't be the typical card with store bought flowers. According to Good Housekeeping, these are some ideas that might even surprise your Mom.

So with that said, this Sunday is a very special day, so you want to be original, creative and imaginative. So, here are a few ideas that might help you decide what to buy!  Now one of the great ideas might be #20, a personalized jigsaw puzzle for mom. It's a picture of the kids in the form of a jigsaw puzzle. Even if she's not into puzzles, it's the thought of the gift that will impress her.

What Should I Get My Mom?

On the list at #29, it's a Family Birthday Tracker...once again, it's the thought that counts. Taking the time to fill out everything needed to make sure she knows when everyone has their birthdays! Why worry about a boring calendar or Facebook reminders, get her the Birthday Tracker, that way even if it's not your birthday, every time she looks at it, she'll think of you.

Although it might be way down on the list at #55, we think the relaxing socks might be a winner as well. The "If You Can Read The Bottom of These, Bring Me A Glass of Wine" socks! Again, simple, thoughtful and of course she will LOVE them!

All these ideas are great, but we should share the Top 5 for Mother's Day gifts according to Good Housekeeping. And listen, if you can't trust Good Housekeeping, who can you trust?
