1. Gift Certificate
Give her a gift certificate to the local spa, or those sewing lessons she’s been talking about, or even a skydiving gift certificate. Whatever she loves. Just be careful not to get her a gym membership or anything that could send the wrong message!
2. Bring Her Flowers
Or better yet, potted flowers that will continue to grow! The kids can help plant them and she will always remember the thoughtful gift whenever she sees them bloom.
3. Homemade Artwork or Craft
Help the kids make a special craft for her. I love kids crafts with their handprints on it. It’s a cute reminder of how little they are.
4. Jewelry
Your wife called, she wants a necklace with enormous diamonds! Just kidding, kinda. It doesn’t have to be expensive. Sometimes personalized jewelry with kids birthstones is more memorable than diamonds… sometimes.
5. Personalized Gift
Get her something with her name on it. It could be a personalized coffee mug or baking dish. A talking picture frame with a special message from the kids would also be marvelous!
6. Clean the House
This is one of my favorites from the list and it’s perfect for someone on a tight budget! Plus it helps you appreciate all the work she does around the house! You can also fix something on the honey-do-list. I know you’ve got one! Every husband does!
7. Photo Canvas
If you haven’t noticed, I’m a photo junkie. I share lots of photos online but I’m not always the best at actually printing them. Any mom would love a huge framed canvas print of her family to hang on the wall.
8. Bottle of Wine
Maybe I should’ve written expensive wine! Or a wine tasting tour! Who doesn’t love wine right?! Or maybe she’s more of a whisky person like me.
9. Date Night Kid-Free
I like to spend mothers day with my kids and family but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t like reservations to a fancy restaurant or tickets to a show for another night out without the kiddos. Don’t forget to schedule the babysitter!
10. Bring Her Breakfast in Bed…
And lunch… and dinner! Moms should NOT have to cook on Mother’s Day. We want to be catered too. In fact, leave the clean kitchen alone (see #6) and bring home HoneyBaked for dinner. Don’t forget to pick up her favorite dessert to go with it!
HoneyBaked offers more than 20 side dishes and premium desserts. Stop by your local HoneyBaked store or visit honeybaked.com to reserve yours today.
Moms, what do you want for Mother’s Day?

This is a great list for Mother’s Day. And I love Honey Baked ham.
I’ve got my mom’s gift, now to do my MIL. My MIL is much harder to shop for, and if I don’t do it hubby will forget and forget and forget until the day and pick her up a $2 cactus on the way to her house. Not that that’s happened or anything. 😉
A photo canvas is a sweet idea. Those things are beautiful and high quality!
I would love a date night right now! And I know my mom would love a clean house! Great list
A housekeeper! And for all of my family to be together 🙂
Oh how I would love for someone to clean my house! These are all really good ideas for pleasing Mom.
I think flowers and a gift certificate are a perfect combination 🙂 Great ideas!
My daughter has always been really sweet to me on Mother’s Day, as has my husband. I have had homemade crafts, been taken out to dinner, breakfast in bed and more. 🙂
Maybe I’m selfish but I want a clean house, bottle of wine, and a Date Night Kid-Free! 😀
Amen to cleaning the house! I’d love jewelry or flowers too but cleaning the house – yes,please!h
I love all these great ideas. My favorites are #8, 9 & 10.. Thanks so much for sharing. Can’t believe it’s almost here. Stopping in as a new follower from SITS Sharefest Saturdays here and on Google+. Have a great weekend and wonderful Mothers Day 🙂
What a great list. I think I would also want to just sleep in….as late as I want, with no interruptions.
I know I’d love a clean house and a few hours to myself! Maybe locked away in a bath with a good book and a box of chocolate! 🙂
These are all great ideas. We got my mother-in-law flowers for Mother’s Day.
I’d love a night out with my hubby and no kids. It’s been a while since we’ve done that.
Thanks for one’s marvelous posting! I genuinely enjoyed reading it, you could be a great author.
I will make sure to bookmark your blog and will often come back in the future.
I want to encourage one to continue your great work, have a nice evening!
