Hey Y'all,
Mother's Day is right around the corner. Have you thought about what to get that special Mom in your life? Today I am sharing a few ideas for Moms in all seasons of life. This first list has items that are typically appreciated by any Mom:
- Cards
- Flowers or plants
- Gift cards to favorite restaurants or coffee shops, favorite boutiques
- Manicure/ Pedicure gift card: pretty hands and feet make you feel good
- Gift basket for her a DIY mani/pedi. These are awesome! I can't wait to try them out.
- Although I love items for my home, it's not a favorite for Mother's Day, unless I have asked for something specific
- If you are sure that you know her tastes, you might celebrate her with a fragrance gift set (stores have tons of these sets at great prices now.)
Mom to Be: So often for the Mom to Be the focus of gift giving is directed at the Baby. While that makes sense, a new mom would appreciate a little recognition too.
- a nice comfy cotton gown ~ be sure it has buttons, sleeveless is good- no spaghetti straps, longer knee length. This may scream Granny to her at first, but those first few days home, she will appreciate the comfort.
- If she is just starting to get her Baby Bump and transitioning into maternity clothes, maternity items might be appreciated. Lots of moms try to just wear larger sizes, maternity items fit so much better and make you feel better about yourself in the process.
Moms with children at home: these Moms are crazy busy, knee deep in loving on sweet babies and trying to keep them safe and happy, making lunches, checking homework, running a home.... you know how it is. They tend to neglect themselves in the process.
- Salon day: hair cut/ color, mani/pedi, waxing, facials... 3 hrs. alone is GOLD to her
- Anything that is made by her children or photos of her children~ an absolute heart melter!
Empty Nest Moms: These moms have most of what they need for their homes at this point. They appreciate the gift of time with their extended family even more!
- Lunch or dinner with their family (extra points for homemade)
- Gift cards for services
- Expendable items... foods, soaps, lotions
Grandmothers: no "do-dads" or "what-nots" as in nothing that has to be dusted. At this point, they have collected and accumulated a houseful of items. So less is better.
- Gift card for services that they need: dry cleaning, car wash, lawn care, housekeeping.
- Gift cards for stores: grocery store, gas gift cards
- Time with loved ones just talking is a treasure
I hope these gave you a few ideas for the special moms in your life. Above anything else, a Mom wants to spend time with her family. Be sure that if you have the opportunity to spend time with your Mom you take advantage of it. And be sure to take photos with HER in them. Remember you at always making memories.
xoxo,
Amy
