Easy Mother's Day Gift Ideas
Hey friends, it's Thursday, May 6th, which means Mother's Day is THREE DAYS AWAY. If you're reading this, it probably means you need a gift fast. Luckily for you, I got your back. I rounded up a list of gift ideas that you can find no matter where you live! Everything I've listed you can find in stores like Wal-Mart or Target. You may be able to find these items on Amazon Prime, but they would probably be showing up on Mother's Day. Regardless you need to spoil your mom this Sunday.
This is my mom and I enjoying some delicious wine and chocolate from Bliss in a Bottle! They're a company that makes chocolate combinations that compliment the wine that you choose. I've written about Bliss in a Bottle in more depth in my Unquie Valentine's Day Gifts blog. If you ordered today, you wouldn't get your bottle before Mother's Day. But it's so tasty your mom will understand! (Bottles ship within one day of the initial order.)
We are enjoying the Fitvine Pinot Grigio! It's a slightly dry wine with less sugar than an average bottle and no flavor additives. This pairing was fantastic. I've tried many pairings from Bliss, but this was one of my all-time favorites. Bliss in a Bottle is shipping to Alaska, California, Florida, Idaho, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Washington D.C., Wyoming, West Virginia. And internationally to Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom.
Plants
You really can not go wrong with plants/flowers. Mothers love plants, it's something they can care for, and watch grow (much like their kids.) But sadly, if your mom does not have a green thumb, don't worry. Artificial or dried flowers work too. The plus side is that plants come in all shapes, sizes, and prices. You can't go wrong, and you can stay within budget. If you're looking for a low-maintenance plant, buy a Snake plant, Monstera, or a Succulent. You can buy plants or flowers anywhere, but if you need some ideas, try Lowes, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, or Target!
Diy SPA
If you can't afford to give your mom the really nice spa day that she deserves, give her the next best thing, an at-home spa day! You can gift your mom a nice robe with a few face masks. If she's not into face masks, try candles, bath bombs, or sugar scrubs. If you're a man and you're reading this, first off... hi, welcome! I'm happy you're here. Anyway, if you're a dude and have no clue what a sugar scrub even is, maybe try a gift card to a Nail salon, Sephora, or Target.
drinks
Let's face it, most mom's probably just want to kick back with a cold drink on Mother's Day. They want to relax. This is where you come in. You find a fancy cocktail, you learn how to make it, buy the ingredients, pop on over to your mom's house on Mother's Day, and make her a nice drink. Now, if you're not really into making drinks, but your mom is into drinking them, don't panic; I have more options. Try a new cocktail glass, wine charms, a cocktail shaker, chilling stones, corkcicle, or a craft cocktail book! My third idea is to order a bottle from Bliss in a Bottle and enjoy it with her once it arrives!
health + fitness
Mothers do not take care of themselves like they should. Why is that? Cause they’re so dang busy taking care of everyone else! Encourage your mom to put her health first with gifts like a nice water bottle, yoga mat, dumbbells, fitness journal, gym bag, or new workout shoes. Now, if you're really trying to be mom's favorite, go for AirPods, a Fitbit, or a massage gun. I wholeheartedly believe that if you look good, you will feel good. This means, mom needs a new workout outfit! If you don't feel comfortable buying your mom's clothes, then get her a gift card! Cause you know, they won't buy themselves something nice unless they have a gift card or a discount.
Fun Kitchen Supplies
Cooking can be fun... oh wait, that's baking. Just kidding, all jokes aside, some people like to cook. If your mom is one of those people, then try a new charcuterie board, cookbook stand, mini waffle maker, or a hand frother. If your mom is one of those people with every kitchen gadget, you could try a breakfast sandwich maker, popsicle mold, or a funny salt & pepper shaker. But if you wanted to take the cake (no pun intended), you could make your mom a home-cooked meal. At the end of the day, I'm sure mothers just want some quality time with their families.
