2013 Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Written by Eileen on Sunday, April 28th, 2013

Mother’s Day is almost here (Sunday, May 12th) and it’s a great time to celebrate the family’s C.E.O. (Chief Emotional Officer™).

If you’re still looking for gift ideas, I have a few fun, creative suggestions; hopefully, one of them fits the Mom-type in your life –

Sentimental Mom

New Moms, Established Moms & Grand Moms will all enjoy a creative keepsake like these DIY family photo albums.

Busy Mom

Pick-up & Delivery is the “key” to a helpful errand-gift to lighten Mom’s load a/k/a her “To Do” list.

Gift Mom with a local one-day, athletic get-a-way.

Suggestion: sports like paddle boarding or canoeing (down stream, of course! LOL)

don’t have to be strenuous to melt-away Mom’s stress!

Volunteer Mom

Whether Mom is still with you or has passed, a wonderful way to honor her “heart” is to pay it forward…

in the form of a (financial or time) donation, in her name, to her favorite charity.

Is Mom a fan of Dancing with the Stars? If so, she may enjoy trying a few dance moves herself.

And why not think outside the box… with something like belly dancing lessons!

Don’t forget my BIRTHSTONE GARDEN idea! It’s super sentimental & absolutely perfect for the Mom (or Grand mom) who enjoys her outdoor space.

Here’s just 2 ways you could create my idea, as a memorable Mother’s Day gift:

Last, but not least… I don’t know too many Moms who wouldn’t enjoy a Spa Day.

Also, consider adding in lunch and inviting yourself, sister(s), niece(s), Auntie(s), Grandma or BFFs and turn it into a group event…

hey, the more the merrier! 🙂

I hope these ideas help you in your quest to make “Mom” feel as special as she makes everyone in HER life feel!

I’m so lucky to still have my Mom – she’s 90!
