1. Sleep. You don't have to be a mom of a newborn to feel like you are constantly sleep deprived! The gift of sleep ranks #1 on many moms' lists!
2. Breakfast in bed! After you let her sleep late, surprise her with breakfast in bed! Rested and fed? Yes, please!
3. Tickle her pink! You can never go wrong with themed gifts! I love that this gift doesn't cost a lot but it's the time that went into putting it together that makes it so sweet!
4. Handmade gifts. Moms love getting those sweet handmade gifts their little ones make them. Here's something the older kids could make for her that she would adore!
5. Jewelry! But, not just any jewelry! Turn your child's artwork into a wearable piece of jewelry she'll treasure for years to come! *beware - this one's a little pricey!
6. Gift cards! I haven't met a mom yet that doesn't like to be pampered! A gift card for a mani/pedi or to the spa is a definite winner! Want to really impress her?! Go ahead and make an appointment for her AND arrange childcare so that she can go with no guilt! Serious brownie points for taking care of all the details!
8. Chocolate!!! No explanation needed!
9. Wine! For a fabulous gift, you could gift her with wine AND chocolate! :)
10. Time with her family. Any mom would be happy with any of the ideas listed above but what she really wants is time with her family!
Gifts are great but what moms really crave is just knowing that her family is thinking about her. What's your favorite way to celebrate Mother's Day?
linking up with Karli at September Farm for her 10 on Tuesday link-up!

Haha! I'm trying to figure out a way to nonchalantly forward this to my hubby! ;)
DeleteThe jewelry made from your child's art is such an amazing find! Wish it didn't cost so much, though! lol!
ReplyDeleteI know, right?! I instantly fell in love with the jewelry - just not the price! :/
DeleteWonderful suggestions for Mother's Day. No dishes or bathrooms clean would be mine.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with you on that!!!
DeleteThese are great suggestions and the necklace art work is my fave! But I do also love the little bird nest necklaces. Pinned, tweeted, google plus!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing, Ruthie! You're the best!
DeleteSo, that necklace is adorable. Of course I would pick the least expensive (sleep) and the most expensive items as my favorites!
ReplyDeleteHaha - story of my life, Leslie! I go from one extreme to the other but right now, I would do anything for a 2 or 3 hour nap! :)
DeleteYou have some really great ideas here - I'd love to have you share at the DIY party!

DeleteAs a momma to a 6 week old and an almost 2 year old, YES to sleep. Just yes.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, and yes! My youngest is 5 and I agree with you still! :)
DeleteThis is actually a pretty sad list- are are expectation levels so low! haha, i mean no dishes? It should be no dishes+ spa day+fancy dinner!! Thanks for sharing at Practical Mondays
ReplyDeleteI'll be spending my mothers day in his school, they're put up a program for all the mommies!
Haha - yes, my expectations are low! :) Thanks so much for hosting and for stopping by! I hope you enjoy your Mother's Day at your son's school! They always make it so special for mommies!
DeleteWhat a great round up of Mother's Day gift ideas!! Sharing with my followers. Thanks for sharing on Inspire Me Monday. I hope you have a wonderful week!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing, Nicole! I appreciate it so much! Hope you are having a great start to your week!
DeleteI can totally relate to #1 - I got to "sleep in" until 6:45 on Sunday morning. It was awesome of my husband to get up with my little at 5:45 - which is most morning. Fingers crossed I get the same treatment for Mother's Day. Great list - I'm also a fan of wine and chocolate myself. #MotivationalMondays
ReplyDeleteHere's wishing you get a little extra sleep and lots of wine and chocolate on Mother's Day! :)
DeleteYou've covered it all! Some great ideas here. Thanks for sharing at the DIY party at Pleasures of the NW.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was fun putting together a few ideas I know many of us would love to receive!!!
DeleteGreat list! This year my hubby is buying my mom, myself and my mother in law a night out at a painting place. Experiences are always great gifts!
ReplyDeleteExperiences are my favorite gifts!!! Then you don't have to worry about where to put it or hurt feelings if you ever get rid of it! Great idea!!
DeleteI know I already commented, but wanted to say thanks for the link-up love!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Looking forward to the bucket list prompt! I just LOVE making lists!!!
DeleteYes...thank you, thank you for linking with us!! Muah!
ReplyDeleteAnytime!!! I'm hoping to get a Friday Favorites post together and include info about your link-up! It's a great idea!!!
DeleteI love your list!! I should just forward this post to my husband just in case he needs some ideas for me. Hope you have a great Mother's Day. Jessica @ https://lifeloveandreality.com/
ReplyDeleteHaha! If only it were that simple! Right, Jessica? My family was good to me but definitely nothing from my list. ;) Sorry I'm so late replying! Hope you had a great Mother's Day! Thanks so much for stopping by!
