Mother’s Day is around the corner and this year should be made extra special for mom. Why? Because over the past year of the pandemic, moms have stepped it up with extra cooking, distance learning gurus, and work-from-home heroes. With that in mind, do something different for this year's Mother’s Day gift and make it truly memorable.
While flowers are nice, we've complied a list of great gifts ideas that mom might remember long after that bouquet is gone.
Gifts for moms who like to learn: Classes and lessons
These out-of-the-box gifts are never boring
Still looking for something special? This is where knowing your mom will really help you find the perfect gift. That’s what Sherry Morgan did for her mom by getting her an Ikea gift card. “My mom loves shopping, especially if it’s for the house like furniture, kitchenware, and house decors,” she told Mom.com. It’s more than just a gift card when done right; according to Morgan, it's an escape. “It’s like going to her haven and taking all things happy and sweet.”
7. Spa day gift cards
Get mom out of the house in the most relaxing way possible. This is most needed for any mom who’s been head of household for lockdown for the past year. Give her a day to get her nails done, a massage, and a facial. She won’t admit it, but she needs it.
8. Sky diving lessons
Got an adventurous mom? Maybe it’s time to knock something off from that bucket list and get her sky diving lessons. This is sure to be something she’ll never forget. Make sure to opt for the photography package so the whole family can share in her fun and she can show off her bravery on social media with amazing photos.
9. Book club subscriptions
If your mom isn’t that adventurous, let her live vicariously through a new set of books. Not only will she get a new book every month, but she’ll get discussion questions to make reading interactive.
10. Convert old videos
Make sure all memories from Mother’s Day and all special days are captured in a way that mom can enjoy. As Mike Romanies of Vid Box Inc. explained to Mom.com, “Moms, Father and Grandfathers have chased us around with a video camera our whole life at home, on vacations, and for special events. Many of these are locked away in old VHS, VHS-C and Beta tapes.” Make the effort to convert them and then watch them as a family and see mom’s face light up.
