SharpMoms Short List of Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

1. Something from the heart: Every Grandma loves something handmand from their number one grandchild. Try letting your little one get creative. A handmade card is a great way to start. Pull out your craft box and let your child make a work of art for a special mom in the life.

2. What’s cookin’? Hit up your local Hobby Lobby or craft store for a blank canvas apron and some fabric markers. You can let you child decorate the apron or take it upon yourself to spice up a blank apron and turn it into gift that will be cherished forever.

3. Rest and Relaxation. Let Dad help the kids serve you breakfast in bed and do all the chores for the day. Better yet, push for a spa day package/getaway and then invite a few of your girlfriends to tag along for some added fun.

4. Keep it Traditional. Send her favorite flowers to her front door or compile a “beauty basket” with bath salts, lotions, candles, a bottle of wine and new paperback read.

5. Name it. Monogramming is always a fun and personal touch to gifts. Engrave a keychain, picture frame, or piece of jewelry. Add her initals to a make-up case, travel duffle, or beach bag filled with some summertime goodies like a fun new towel, sunhat, sunscreens and pool passes to a local pool.

1. Cha-ching!: If you know where the bride and groom will be honeymooning, SharpMoms suggests giving the gift of currency for the destination. For example, if they will be heading to Europe, give them some Euros to get their honeymoon spending acount started.
2. Just for him: If you want to give the groom something special, how about and engraved flask or money clip.
3. Picture Perfect: This is a gift that will be treasured by the newlyweds for sure! Have their wedding invitation framed-what a keepsake!
4. A night out: Newlyweds often start out on a budget too, so why not give them a night out on the town. A restaurant gift card and movie tickets make for a perfect after-honeymoon-date-night!
5. Subscriptions: Magazine subscriptions are the gifts that keep on giving. For the movie lovers, you could give a subscription to NetFlix, a SharpMoms personal favorite!
