This is one of those time-consuming and important household tasks. It only takes a few minutes, but when we don't get around to making those copies and we lose our keys, it's a major hassle and expense to change the locks and deal with getting access to the house.
So, help Mom out by asking which keys she would like copied, and going to locksmith to have two or three copies made. It's important to check that the copies work, because a small mistake in the copy and the key won't work. (We just had six copies of a new key made at a local home accessories store, and none worked, so we speak from experience. A locksmith who knows what he or she is doing would have been worth the two blocks' extra walk.)
Mom will be grateful to have those extra keys ready to go. She can tuck a set in her office desk or leave a set with a friend or in a secret nook. A small gift with a large impact.
And, while you're at it, dress up the keys with a fun keyring; there are so many cute ones, and the more unique, the easier to keep straight the extra set straight from other keys in the drawer.
Since many moms were a Girl Scout when they were young, one fun key ring is the official one from the Girls Scouts' website:
