15 Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Mother’s Day is coming up in a couple weeks and I am trying to come up with some gift ideas for my mom.  She’s a pretty easy person to gift for… but that actually makes it hard.  She doesn’t really need anything, but she doesn’t get rid of things she doesn’t need either.  So, whatever we give her will probably stick around for years (and years and years) to come.  So, I’m still brain-storming on what to give her that I want to have my name attached to for years to come.

In the meantime, I have gathered up some ideas for your gifting consideration.  Take a looksie.

Nautical Net Lanterns
or try your hand at a DIY version
Nautical-Net-Lantern1
Mother Bird Necklace
This necklace represents my mom’s grandbabies last year
(two boys and one girl – two blue and a silver)  Guess she needs a new one…
Inspirational Quotes & Frame
Sugar scrub is a great gift for all mommas.  Help clean and
moisturize momma’s hands from all those grubby germs she encounters.
Or find a sugar scrub recipe online and go the DIY route.
Backless Framed Quote
DIY Lanterns
How pretty would this be with some black & white photos inside the frames?
Print out and fill in these fun pages to find out how the littles really see momma.
Girl themed print available too.  Do it every year and watch the answers change.
Mother’s Prayer Printable (in blue or green)
Frame this poem that captures the essence of motherhood and let her know that all the rough days really are worth it, and that you appreciate her patience and tolerance on those rough days…
Or this printable…
Or use this printable
Pair it with your fave photo of you and your momma in a collage frame.
 
You can also create your own printable with your own quote
or a custom and personalized subway art piece.
A fun coupon book will let momma choose what gift she wants!
How about a personalized “Our Mom Loves” Plaque…?
Same idea as the Dad plaque, but for Momma.
Help Mom organize her jewelry with a Cork board Jewelry Organizer
Grab Momma an App Store or Play Store gift card and include a list of apps she might like.
Check these posts out for some great app ideas:
Apps for productivity and phone customization
Apps for making Momma’s life a little easier
Or for the soon-to-be Momma’s out there… Eight awesome apps
(some of these can rock grandma’s cell too!)
What are you giving your momma?

I'm Krista. Ringleader here on While He Was Napping, wife to my handsome Mr. Right & momma to my THREE energetic boys, Big J (9), Little J (6) & Little N (4). We FINALLY added a beautiful little girl to our family last December.

I’m knee-deep in Tonka trucks & Thomas trains. I survive our crazy days with Vanilla Coke, Sonic slushies, sweet snuggles and little giggles. When I tuck them in tight & kiss them good night, I get a little time to create & just be me.
