How to Say “I Love You, Mom!” With These Great Gift Ideas!

Posted by Sara at 12:51 pm

For all you Super Mom’s out there, Happy Mother’s Day! She birthed you, raised you, and dealt with you all these years, now it’s time to tell her, “I love you!” If you have a Mom like mine, the woman who has it all, then it’s time to use that noggin and get creative!

Flowers and balloons are always a nice gesture, but your Mother deserves so much more (at least mine does!), so make her feel special with some of these unique gift ideas.

•    Pamper, Pamper, Pamper! You could buy your Mom passes to the spa, or bring the spa to her; it will show you actually want to spend time with her. Set a day aside and have an at-home pamper day with your mom.
Some products I recommend trying out with your Mom:
Thymes: They offer an array of body lotions, washes, scrubs, feet care, etc. The ladies at PlasticSurgery.com and I love the Naia Hand Lotion and Hand Wash! Visit their website to check out some of the kits and gift sets that they offer.
En Pointe Skin Solutions: From cleanser, toners, and moisturizers, they offer all the products you need to put together an at-home facial kit.
Philip Kingsley: To get your Mom ready for Mother’s day brunch, Philip Kingsley offers a wide range of styling products to add texture and volume or tame and smooth while protecting the hair. For bounce, control, and shine, you may want to try out their maximizer.
Adovia’s Night Mineral Cream, my favorite of their products! Adovia Mineral Skin Care: Another great facial care line! My fellow Beauty Chatter, Audrey, and I love their products! This is great for those with sensitive skin (like me), because they are made from minerals from the Dead Sea, providing a natural skin smoothing experience.

•    Expand her horizons: Take your mom on an adventure instead of the usual dinner and a movie. I am taking my Mom wine tasting! Pick a place you know she would like to go, but wouldn’t normally take herself to. I know my Mom likes wine, but she would never think of going to a winery.

•    Put on your chef’s hat: Make your Mom her favorite dish or introduce her to a new one. My favorite place to go for creative recipes is AllRecipes.com, which has reviews on the dishes and suggestions for additional ingredients, side dishes, etc.

•    Clean, scrub, and shine: You know your mother works hard, so why not give her a day off from her typical duties of cleaning up (after you!), doing the laundry, and running the house. Get your siblings together and clean the house for her and let her relax for the day!

Your mom most likely is not expecting much, so if anything, give her a day of you. I know that through the rush and chaos it can sometimes get hard to spend time with anyone for an entire day – the least you can do is give her the time. And for all you mommies out there, Happy Mother’s Day!

    Those are all great suggestions- my mother always likes Bath & Body Works stuff (she’s old school when it comes to products). What is the best product you’ve ever gotten for a gift?

    My mom never likes lotions, but she’ll love super effective cleansers, toners, ect. Weird.

    My mom is the type that loves getting appliances and vacuum cleaners as gifts. Usually I have to rack my brain for ideas on something to get her for her Bday or mother’s day. But this year I decided it was time to PAMPER my mom. She does so much, she should have a day of relaxation. I took her to get a spa manicure and pedicure and she absolutely loved it. Now I know that in the future I can buy her nail kits, and those home facials you mentioned!

    I don’t think my mom would ever buy herself facial lotions and cremes, so this is a great gift idea. However, I’d probably have to couple it with a piece of silver jewelry in order for her to understand the gift is about beauty and looking good, not that I think she’s wrinkly and has dry skin.

    This gift idea is very good. My mother must be very like it, and this is no expensive.
