Gift Ideas for Mother’s Day

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at St. Law U chapter.

Mother’s Day is right around the corner! Do you know what you are going to do for this special day? Here are six gift ideas you could give to your female role model this year!

1. Take her out to brunch or dinner – Treating your mother/aunt/grandmother out for a meal is a nice way to spend quality time with your mom while showing her you appreciate for her. Not to mention its delicious!

 

2. Make her breakfast in bed – Making breakfast is a cheaper (and more personal) alternative to going out to eat. Open a cookbook or find a recipe online and make it at home! The meal does not have to be decadent. Remember it’s the thought that counts. Bringing the home cooked meal you made for your mom up to her bed is optional, however your mother deserves a day to relax–and what is more relaxing than eating your breakfast in bed?   

3. A personalized gift – Personalized gifts are a great way of showing your mom or any special woman that you care. The thought and effort put into a personalized gift will say a lot. You can personalize gifts such as a scrapbook, a mug, a blanket, or jewelry. There is an abundance of personalized gift websites, including Etsy, personalizedcreations.com, and thingsremebered.com. If you are interested in this idea, check out these websites and create a personalized gift for this Mother’s Day!

4. Flowers – Flowers are a staple Mother’s Day gift. They are cheerful, colorful, aesthetically pleasing, and smell heavenly. You can never go wrong with a spring-themed arrangement!

5. A homemade card – It is important to tell your mother/role model how much she means to you. Although she knows you love her, it is always nice to be reminded. Incorporate a heartfelt poem in the card, a photograph of you two, or a drawing. Get creative. It is always nice to receive homemade gifts from your loved ones.

6. Take a walk – Taking a walk is a good way to get fresh air, enjoy the outdoors, and spend time outside together. Carving out time for your mother is important; making memories with your mother is priceless.  

Most importantly, spend time with your mother on her special day. She deserves to feel appreciated and acknowledged for all that she does.
