Barely in time for Mother's Day - several fantastic gift ideas for Mom or the Mother of your children.
10. The weekend getaway. Give Mom a break. Let her escape on a weekend retreat to a resort, health spa, or anyplace else where she is able to be in her "happy place." The draw back is -besides cost - is that Mom's gone on Mother's Day, however it's completely about her, not you, right?
9. Jewelry. A nice idea would be to give her a locket with a photo of her kids in it or a bracelet, ring or necklace with the birthstones of kids or grandchildren. Not overly pricey, and something she'll cherish eternally.
8. All snaps! A digital camera makes a wonderful gift, especially for brand new Moms. Children become older so fast, and capturing those brief moments are essential. With scrapbooking becoming so popular, digital cameras also make a nice gift for the scrapbook fan. Come to think of it, a scapbook isn't a bad idea either...let's call it 8.5.
7. Go green or go cosmic. Trees and stars last longer than flowers and hey- not everyone can claim they own a star. You can have a star named after Mom or get a tree in her name.
6. Paint the town. New mothers would definitely be grateful for a night out of the house with some adult conversation and atmosphere. It's a simple request, but such a great gesture for those moms who merely want an evening as an adult. This works nicely with the morning and afternoon spent with the children. That is what Mother's Day is about in the first place.
5. A spa day. The majority of mothers I know could use a spa day. Regardless of whether her children are at home or have long since moved out, a spa day is a fantastic choice. Spa Days range from a complete package of all the goodies such as mud baths and lunch or just a half hour of reflexology.
4. Make a charitable donation. For the mom who never stops giving, she would be honored to know that a donation was provided to her favorite charity on her behalf. It's really the only thing I can get my Mom without getting a sermon about wasting my money. This is truthfully a gift that keeps on giving.
3. Gift baskets. You can find gift baskets that contain anything and everything. There are baskets that are purposely designed for Mother's Day, but other choices include gourmet and fruit baskets, spa baskets and candle baskets. A lot of places also build custom baskets and will include any theme or item you choose.
2. Flowers and plants. It's the most customary of Mother's Day gifts, and for good reason. You actually can't go wrong here and it's super easy. It's the clear choice for someone who appreciates the beauty of flowers and plants.
1. The star treatment. Quite possibly the best gift for lots of reasons. Being a competent Mother is undoubtedly the hardest duty in the World. Offering Mom the star treatment for a day is a magnificent gift. Start with permitting her to sleep in, provide breakfast in bed, cleaning the house and a morning of peace and quiet. Next, be sure to prepare lunch and dinner, feed and bathe the youngsters and get them all set for bed. In other words, don't permit her to lift a finger for the day unless she wants to (and even then you should discourage her). A day at home to unwind in the ease of her own house and in the company of her family - and without breaking the bank.
