Summarize the following:
Taking time to make your own gift is often better than anything you could buy. Tap your talents to make her something special. If you’re a talented baker, bake her something special or assemble some baking mixes for her. If you’re a whiz at knitting, make her a new set of mittens or hot pads. If you enjoy painting, create a piece of art to give her. Many products can be personalized with messages, names, or monograms. Personalizing a gift for your mom will show that you’ve gone the extra mile to find a present that’s uniquely hers. Pick a product that she’ll appreciate (and that fits your budget). It could be anything from a mug to a bag, bath robe to a piece of jewelry. Family photos mean a lot. Give her a lasting memento of one or more of your favorite moments by creating a photo gift. It could be anything from a simple framed photo to a printed pillowcase.  Do a family photoshoot. This could be informal or at a studio. Either way, it says that her birthday is day worth remembering.  Make her a family photo album. Assemble some of your favorites into a book that she can look at whenever she want a reminder of how much you care.  Be creative by putting a favorite photo on an everyday item, like a vase, mug, ornament, apron, or pillow. Create an archive of the recipes that you’ve enjoyed together over the years. Include all your family favorites in it, from staple main dishes to memorable treats to traditional holiday baking.  Besides giving ingredients lists and directions, you can personalize the book more by adding photos and personal stories alongside the recipes. For instance, you can include photos of your family enjoying each dish and/or text that explains the origin of a particular recipe. Consider making copies for the whole family so that your mom will see that her culinary traditions will continue to be passed along. Demonstrate that you’re paying attention to what she loves by giving her a gift that fits perfectly into one of her personal collections. If she collects a particular kind of china, buy her a new piece. If she’s wild about hogs, get her something with a pig design on it. If she has a favorite series, get her the next book or dvd in it.

summary: Make her a one-of-a-kind gift. Order a personalized gift. Make her a photo gift. Make her a recipe book. Add to one of her collections.

Measure out 1 cup (240 mL) of vinegar into a large pot, then add 1 tbsp (17 g) of salt. Use a measuring cup add 3 cups (710 mL) of warm water to the pot. Then, stir the ingredients to combine them. If you’re cleaning a large copper piece, use a bigger pot and double the ingredients for the cleaning solution. It’s safest to put the copper into the pot before you start boiling the solution. Place the item into the pot and make sure the stains are covered by the cleaning solution. It’s okay if part of the item is not covered, as long as you aren’t trying to clean the exposed area.  It’s okay to clean more than 1 piece at a time if they all fit into the pot. For instance, you might clean 2 copper mugs at the same time or a handful of copper jewelry pieces. Turn the burner on high heat to heat the pot. Monitor the pot as it heats to boiling. After it reaches boiling, adjust the heat to keep it at a rolling boil. Stay near the pot while it’s heating to make sure it doesn’t boil over. The vinegar and salt will draw out the stains or black patina. Check the water to see if the discoloration is leaching out of the copper and into the solution. Let the item boil for up 15 minutes. If the item looks clean before you get to 15 minutes, it’s okay to turn off the pot early. After 15 minutes, turn off the burner so that the solution and the copper item will start to cool. Leave the pot to cool for 30 minutes to an hour. Don’t try to handle the copper while it’s still hot. The metal may burn your hand, so be careful.
summary: Combine vinegar, water, and salt in a large pot. Submerge your copper piece in the solution. Bring the solution to a boil over high heat. Watch for the stains to fade from the copper. Turn off the heat so the copper piece can cool.
