What's a good Mother's Day gift idea for someone who isn't your mom?

I've been living with my best friend and her family since September. They've made me feel welcome and like I'm really apart of their family. I know Mother's Day is coming up in a little over a month, and I want to get her mom something. I go to her mom for almost everything. She has been there for me, and told me to move in with her because of problems within my own family. She said she doesn't want jewelry, so my previous gift idea is down the drain. I love her like she is my own mom, she has told me plenty of times before she thinks of me as ome of her own. She is hardworking. (Note, I work with her) I see every day how she tries to do her very best for a single mom raising 3 kids, and taking another one in. I'm so stumped what to get her. I want to get her something perfect! She is a very do-it-yourself kind of person. She is one of the most amazing people I've ever met. And feel truly blessed to have gotten to know her, but I don't know what to get her. I want to show her I appreciate her, and everything she has done for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! God bless!(:

(I'm also 17, so if that helps any.)

    Depends on how much you can spend. If you are low budget, a nice coffee mug with a starbucks gift card inside? If you have a little more $, maybe a portrait sitting for the entire family or if you have even more $, a massage or one of the pamper yourself services at a day spa. If she is into it, a tattoo or a bellybutton piercing? Just don't outdo her biological kids gifts maybe you could go in on one of the more expensive ones. You don't want to make them feel like crap, especially if they are your friends still. Pay attention to her likes and needs and wants and get her something she would not get herself. Good luck and tell her how blessed you feel for being accepted into their lives.

    Source(s): I'm a mom and a grama too, alot of my daughters friends confided in me, asked for help when needed and I would have taken a number of them in, if need be.
