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?

We just try to give her a day of peace and quiet without any bickering. That is hard enough!
Breakfast in bed! It’s my once a year favorite.
We were in San Diego last week and I ended up picking out my own Mother’s Day gifts at a little shop out there! I am totally ok with it, though because I know I will be getting stuff I really want 🙂
I am always a fan of my kids making me cards and gifts. I love having little tokens to remember the little people that they used to be!
Home made craft items always pull at my heartstrings, they are a great gift for me.
All you have listed are great ideas. Now time to show this list to Mr. M so he can get the hint! 🙂
i love down time on mothers day. a good breakfast, a simple day out or relaxing day in is my kind of mothers day
My favorite gifts are the handmade artwork my daughter’s do. I usually frame them and have them hanging all over my house now!
Great ideas! I can’t believe it’s almost Mother’s Day!
We may end up doing this. I sure don’t want to cook for Mother’s Day but I sure don’t want to right restaurant crowds.
These are all such great ideas. I’m going to be away on Mother’s Day this year but I will be making it up to my Mom this weekend!
My Mother’s Day would be complete if they had the whole house cleaned and laundry done without me asking by the time I woke up on Sunday. So they should start now. LOL
These are great ideas! I’d love HBH for Mother’s Day!
all of the above please! my birthday is near mothers day and i’m turning 40. i want it all!
I love your photo canvas idea! These are such great ways to make a woman feel special on Mother’s Day.
I’m all about the spa and not having to cook. Since Mother’s Day is also on Sunday and we have church, all of the men at church pool money and cook for all of us on Mother’s Day. It’s wonderful!
Such great ideas! I would love it if someone would clean the house for me. I would be in heaven if my husband brought me breakfast in bed too!
What a great list! I tell ya, if I woke up to breakfast in bed and a clean house.. I would be one happy mom! 😉
These are great ideas! I’d love if someone else cleaned my house!
Cleaning the house?! That would def make this momma happy!
I like your list of Mothers’ Day ideas. A mother would enjoy receiving any and all of them.
I want all of the above. This is a great list of ways to treat mommy on Mother’s Day
Yes, meals served to me and no dishes would be wonderful! Love the idea!
Great list….Perfect ways to make MOM feel special
Great post. You can never go wrong with a bottle of wine!
