May brings a lot of happiness, doesn’t it?
Flowers
Memorial Day a.k.a the OFFICIAL day of summer
Warmer weather
All of these things are awesome and make us so happy. I always get excited when I start to see the kids in their yards in their kiddie pools or when I start to plan what’s I’m going to do with that glorious 3-day weekend at the end of the month.
But there is also one very important day in May that we should all make sure to recognize.
MOTHER’S DAY!!!
Moms are the most amazing people on earth, are they not? When we’re kids, moms give up their dessert so that we can have some. Moms stay up late when we’re scared so that we will feel comforted. Moms will sacrifice their valuable time to ensure that their kids know they’re loved. And even as adults, moms are still calling and worrying because their kids will always be their babies no matter what.
I know that I am unbelievably thankful for my mom. The sacrifices that she made for me in my life are too many to count. And even though she THINKS she did a laundry list of things wrong, she did a pretty darn good job in my eyes.
Did you know :
1) One quarter of flowers purchased annually are purchased on mother’s day?
2) In the United States alone, around 122 million calls are made to moms on Mother’s Day?
3) Approximately $14 billion is spent on Mother’s Day.
Yep, moms are sure special people. I wanted to share with you my top 10 list of gifts to get for mom on mother’s day. Some are more traditional, while others are unique gifts that you might have not even thought of. In any case, I hope this list will help you narrow down what you’re going to be giving to YOUR mother to show her your appreciation:
1) An hour of cleaning services from an at-home cleaner, like Merry Maids! (Hint: check Groupon for some awesome deals)
2) A Fandango gift card (This is almost the PEAK movie season. I’m sure mom would love to be able to have some funds to go check out a couple.)
3) Take her to a local botanical garden. Even if your mom isn’t huge into flowers, she’ll truly enjoy that quiet time with you and will appreciate the beauty of nature!
4) A basket full of items she can use to have a few moments of relaxation. A bath bomb (Lush is my favorite), a bathtub pillow, maybe a new playlist you’ve downloaded for her of some nice jazz music. Help your mom just take a load off for awhile – moms are always go, go,go
5) Pay for a service to deep clean her car. I’m talking the “works”. Carpets, upholstery, cleaning in and out, of course.
6) Flowers
7) Give the gift of health. Hook your mom up with a year’s access to an at-home streaming service so she can get fit right in the comfort of her living room (Get more details here)
8) Buy her a 60 minute relaxation massage (Groupon again!)
9) Put together a photo flip book or album of some of the best memories over the last year. (I recommend Snapfish)
10) Take her to her favorite local restaurant and allow her to order whatever she wants. Again, she’ll enjoy the quality time with you more than the meal itself. But food dates are always fun!
So there you have it! My top 10 gift ideas for mom this Mother’s Day! Some of them are traditional, but I hope I was able to give you some unique ideas for 2017. Leave me a comment below and let me know what you ended up doing if you use this list! Would love to see a photo with you and your mom as well!
