It's that special time of year again, when we pause to say "thanks" to our mothers -- with flowers, with cards, and, if we know what's good for us, with large amounts of chocolate. While we wouldn't dare encourage anyone to stand between Mom and the jumbo-sized deluxe assortment of fudge she so richly deserves, Fools seeking a more novel gift might want to consider a different reward for the woman who brought them into the world. Why not repay Mom for her years of love and support with a great stock that will work just as tirelessly on her behalf?
We've assembled a great collection of stocks whose performance will likely keep on showing Mom how much you love her for years to come. Some options may seem like a natural fit for mothers everywhere (cheesecake!), while others might seem a bit odder at first (professional wrestlers?), but all of them have the potential to make Mom a tidy sum over the next few years or decades.
If you get only one gift for Mom this Mother's Day ... well, yes, go with chocolate. But if you get two gifts, consider throwing in a few shares from one or more of these stellar selections:
- Cheesecake Factory (NASDAQ:CAKE)
- The Knot (NASDAQ:KNOT), a Motley Fool Rule Breakers pick
- Nike (NYSE:NKE)
- TiVo (NASDAQ:TIVO), a Motley Fool Stock Advisor recommendation
- Whole Foods Market (NASDAQ:WFMI), also a Stock Advisor pick
- World Wrestling Entertainment (NYSE:WWE)
