Mother’s Day is just around the corner but we are stuck at home due to COVID-19. I’ve been thinking about what to get my favorite moms for Mother’s Day. It’s hard because you want to find the ideal gift to show them how much you love and appreciate her. You want something that she hasn’t gotten before but you also want something that she’ll really enjoy.
In preparation for Mother’s Day, I’ve been researching the perfect gifts to give this year. I’ve also been secretly exploring some ideas to drop hints to my husband. Hehe! Because of this, I’ve put together a list of fresh ideas to get mom for Mother’s Day:
DIY Spa Kit
Since you can’t take mom out to get her nails done or get a massage, send her some products to have a spa day at home for Mother’s Day. You can send her a bath and body gift set with her favorite scents or a foot spa. You could also send mom a deep tissue massage gun to break through those stress knots you gave her when you were a kid. Personalize the kit with gifts that you know mom would love.
A Nap
A 2-hour nap with the door closed would be a dream for a breastfeeding mom like me. Hint hint! You could get mom new pillows, noise-canceling headphones, and blackout curtains to fully block out any distractions. You could also promise mom one distraction-free nap a week. This a great way to show mom you appreciate her more than just on Mother’s Day.
Photo Gift
My family all live in different states so group pictures are rare. This is why I like sending personalized photo gifts to my mom and sister. For Mother’s Day, you can send a personalized photo puzzle, pillow, or calendar. You could also get mom a custom Bobblehead of her favorite grandkids, pets, or of you. It’s such a unique mother’s day gift that will definitely bring a smile to her face.
Subscription Box
A great way to show mom you appreciate her all year round is by getting her a subscription box. CrateJoy offers a variety of subscription boxes for whatever interests mom has at affordable prices. They have subscription boxes of tea, books, games, succulents, Harry Potter gear, and so much more. CrateJoy is a great place to get Mother’s Day gifts for all of the moms in your life.
Help with Cleaning
Cleaning the house is a neverending task. The dishes pile up every day and floors get dirty right after you clean them. Save mom the trouble by getting her a Roomba robot vacuum for Mother’s Day. This will give her one less task to do and it’ll give her more time to do what she really wants. You can also DIY a coupon book for mom to use when she really needs help around the house. You could add tasks that she really hates doing like washing the dishes or taking out the trash. Kids will enjoy creating and coming up with different gifts to give mom.
Personalized Story
Create a personalized story with the kids to give to mom or grandma on Mother’s Day. You can create a book where you design your own character, story, and pages through LoveBook. You could also put together a photo book with reasons why you love mom. Mom will definitely appreciate all the thought that you put into the book you create.
Restaurant Meal at Home
Do you usually go out to eat for Mother’s Day? Send mom her favorite restaurant meal using a delivery service like Uber Eats. For breakfast, you could serve her breakfast in bed with a personalized wood serving tray. For dinner, you could set up the kitchen table with candles, napkins, and fancy silverware. Encourage her to wear her favorite outfit and play some nice music so she’ll still feel like she went out to eat for Mother’s Day.
Donate in Her Honor
For the mom who has everything, you could also donate in her honor. Give the gift of meals through your local food bank or through No Kid Hungry. You could also donate money to those affected by COVID-19 such as the Aloha United Way Hawaii COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund. You’ll not only give mom a gift for Mother’s Day, but you’ll also give a gift to those in need.
What are you planning to give mom on Mother’s Day?
