Mother’s Day is approaching on May 9th. Mom is the most important person in our lives and should be rewarded and loved everyday. If you do not have a mom, but an important mom figure in your life, make sure to take care of her too.
They should be showered in gifts everyday. If you cannot afford gifts, you can always make your mom a dinner, give her some peace and quiet, clean up the house, and give her lots of hugs.
But if you are a last minute person who likes to buy gifts and still needs to get one, here are 5 options you can buy. And have a Happy Mother’s Day to all those who celebrate it!
Jewelry
Whether it is a necklace that says ‘Mom,’ or a bracelet with her kids’ birthstones on it, or just nice earrings she’s had her eyes on, Mother’s Day is the best time to buy some jewelry for your mom to show her how much you care. It doesn’t have to be super expensive, but if it is chip in with your other siblings (if you have any) and make sure mom is feeling pretty with her new bling.
Flowers
Flowers are nice, but they don’t last forever. So if you are just planning on getting flowers and nothing else, make sure it is a nice bouquet. If you are getting flowers with a gift, there are plenty of nice bouquets for $5 to $10. A little secret to those looking for cheap but nice flowers: grocery stores are the place to go. Put a ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ balloon in it and you are all set. Another alternative is a plant that they could have for a longer amount of time.
Gift Cards
Gift cards are good for anyone, especially when you don’t know what to get them or what they like. Visa gift cards are always good, but moms might prefer Bath & Body Works, Target, Bed, Bath, & Beyond, one for a massage, and Barnes & Noble, to name a few. It all depends on what your mom likes, but gift cards are never a bad option. Just make sure you get one for a good enough amount. She did birth you after all.
Perfume
Who doesn’t like to smell good? Your mom might have a signature scent or she may be looking for a new one. Either way, perfume is a great option. It doesn’t look like you cheaped out and it is something she can use daily. And when she uses it, mom will think of you. Make sure to know her preferences though because a bad-smelling perfume can make the experience not enjoyable.
Spa Day
Whether you book your mom a massage, mani/pedi, or just a relaxing face mask and candle lighting, it is always good for mom to unwind and relax. Mom deserves to be pampered and feel pretty, so a spa day is exactly what she needs. Moms are under a lot of stress and could use a day, even if it is a mother/daughter day, for just that.
