Mother’s Day: Gift Guide

Now that you have an idea of what to do on Mother’s Day, or if you don’t check out Things to do on Mother’s Day, but not sure what to give her, you came to the right place!

I’ve said it before and it’s something that I truly believe in. Celebrating mother’s day or any other holiday should not break the bank, but if you choose to splurge, that is awesome!

Here are some ideas that can help you decide what goodies suit your loved one most!

1. Give her a garden. Instead of giving her a bouquet of flowers, why not plant some pretty flowers and herbs for her to rejoice in the future. Not only will it cost the same or less as a fancy flower bouquet, but it is a far more thoughtful gift.

2. Family Photoshoot. Often times, moms spend their time behind cameras taking pictures of their little ones instead of being in them as well. This is a great gift that you can have professionally done or do it yourself! All you need is a great background such as a landscape, a camera, and a well-dressed family.

3. Pampering. Such as a spa day, a massage, or a simple day to herself with no kids. Notice how I underlined ‘no kids’? Yeah, that is a big key part of the pampering gift.

4. DIY Art. Have her child(ren) make an art piece. If history has taught us anything is that moms are big suckers when it comes to kids handmade art and I can’t wait for mine to be old enough to give me such things!

5. DIY Card. Greeting cards are great when it comes to saying something sweet. But if you DIY, it is more personal and she will cherish it more for the time you spent making it. Check this one out:

6. Shopping Spree. What mom wouldn’t want to go on a shopping spree? And if you can afford it, give it to her. Moms such as myself, don’t often splurge or consider buying things for ourselves as we are always looking to buy for our babies. We forget about our own wants and this is a great way to remind her.

7. Jewelry. If you want to splurge on the fancy side, this is a great gift. Even if it seems expensive, just think that this gift will live with her for years to come.

8. Clean. Whether you do it yourself, or hire cleaners, giving her the gift of having someone else do the cleaning around the house is a great way to show appreciation. Not to mention it’ll free up some time for her to have to herself to do the things she usually can’t because she is spending it doing house chores.
