Gifts like flowers, jewelry, chocolates, or perfume are a touching way to let Mom know that she’s loved, but it’s what’s written in her Mother’s Day card that really lets her know what how family feels about her. And on those days when she needs a little reminder, re-reading a Mother’s Day card might be just the pick-me-up a mom needs to tackle that load in the dryer or help finish that science fair project.
But wanting to write the perfect note in a Mother’s Day card can be easier said than done. Sometimes just thinking about how awesome Mom is creates an emotional rush that causes awful writer’s block. Or sometimes it’s a struggle to figure out how to honor those women in our lives that aren’t technically our mom, but deserve to be recognized on Mother’s Day just the same.

We’ve gathered up 40 perfect things to write in Mother’s Day cards for moms, wives, grandmothers, mother-in-laws, and friends.
