I didn't know what to buy, so I went to the shopkeeper and said, "Hello, auntie, do you have any gifts for your mother?" The shopkeeper took me over and said enthusiastically, "these three models sell well. Today is mother's day." I nodded a nod, I weigh a while, I think it is very good, the shape is a support, a red heart on it, red heart still engraved in English I think it is a red heart, does not symbolize my hot red heart? Is the red heart fixed on the bracket? Does it not mean that my heart does not change? Thinking of this, I did not hesitate to take out the money to buy this gift.
When I got home, I always felt that there was something missing, so I wrapped a beautiful box on the gift.
The clock struck six, and mom came back with a tired body. As soon as I entered the door, I took the gift out to my mother. Mother did not respond to it for a moment. After a while, my mother touched my head. His eyes flashed with tears and said, "my daughter is growing up!" At this moment, I have a lot of thoughts.
Although this is a very modest gift, but in the eyes of her mother, it is more important than her life. I must let my mother feel my love for her everyday.
今天是——母亲节，是妈妈的节日。我琢磨着给妈妈送上一件最有意义的礼物。送束花吧！太俗气；送贺卡吧！又太普通；送吃的吧！又没档次。我冥思苦想了一阵，还是想不出来。于是，我想：去礼品店看看，看什么能表达心意，看什么顺眼，我就买什么。对！就这样，于是我就飞一般的向礼品店跑去。
推开礼品店的大门，店里挤满了为妈妈买礼物的小学生，里面的商品琳琅满目，让我挑花了眼。我看了看都不知道买什么好了，于是我走到店主那去，说：“你好阿姨，请问这有没有送给母亲的礼物？”店主带我走过去，热情的介绍说：“这三款卖得挺好的，今天是母亲节吧？”我点了点头，我掂量了一会，我觉得那款挺好的，外形是一个支架，上面有颗红心，红心上还刻着英文我觉得它是一颗红心，不正象征着我的那颗火热的红心？那颗红心在支架上固定不动，不正象征着我的心不变吗？想到这儿，我毫不犹豫地掏出钱，买下这个礼物。
回到家，我总觉得还缺少点什么，于是我又给礼物包上美丽的包装盒。
时钟敲了六下，妈妈拖着劳累的身躯回来了。一进门，我就把礼物拿出来给妈妈，妈妈一时没反应过来，过了一会，妈妈抚摸着我的头，眼中闪这泪花，缓缓说道：“我的女儿长大了！”就在这一瞬间，我思绪万千。
这虽然是一个很不起眼的礼物，但在妈妈的眼中，它比她的生命都重要！我一定要让妈妈每天都感受到我对她的爱！
