Since mother’s day is quickly approaching (Sunday, May 12th), I’ve put together a handy gift guide. You might be thinking, “great, another blogger gift guide…” But WAIT! This isn’t an ordinary gift guide!
These gifts are above average because they all correlate with a pre-planned activity for you and your mom to experience together. After all, spending time with your mom is probably the best gift of all! Take one of these 11 ideas as is, or modify them into something you know your mom will enjoy.
1. Grab this geometric terrarium along with some of your favorite succulent plants. You and your mom can spend the afternoon creating your own DIY terrarium.
2. With this statement necklace from Bauble Bar, your mom will feel uber stylish. Pair it with a girls night out on the town for some quality mother/daughter time.
3. When you walk into the Aveda store, they give you a sample of this delicious tea. Grab a bottle and make your own tea at home. Then create your own pampering experience by doing manicures, pedicures, or facial masks with your mom.
4. Your mother’s day gift wouldn't be complete without the perfect witty card. Make one yourself, or pick up a handmade version like this on Etsy. You can add a personalized coupon for a massage or cooked dinner to make this card the main event.
5. Your mom can rock out in style, all around the house, with these neon wireless speakers. Make a playlist of your current favorite songs so your mom can get to know your music loves. Then stage a dance party, or tell stories about concerts you've both attended or the ways music has influenced your life.
6. These adorable measuring spoons are the perfect start to a great activity with mom. Add on a certificate for a cooking class, or plan to whip something up at home with your mom as the lead cook, or assistant- whichever she’d prefer!
7. Hearts and stripes!?! Yes, please. Give your mom this heart iphone case, along with a free lesson on how to best take advantage of the technology available at the click of her finger. Teach her about your favorite app, game, or networking site.
8. Grab this colorful plane print, as a symbol of a mother/daughter adventure you’ve planned! If jet-setting somewhere is out of your budget, check out this car print for a road trip, or this bike print for a spin around town.
9. These TOMS sunglasses are picture perfect, and they help the less fortunate have access to eye care. Give this pair to your mom and while you are both feeling philanthropic, go out and volunteer in your community. And make sure to snap some pictures of you and your mom (wearing her new glasses!) while you're at it.
10. Give your mom this stylish clutch, with an invitation for a special dinner at her favorite restaurant For an extra touch, you can fill the clutch with a few of her favorite on-the-go items like red lipstick, mini lotion, and a tide pen.
11. A park, a blanket, some gourmet snacks, and this picnic basket are all you’ll need to have a delightful afternoon outing with your mom. Pick a new spot to try and bring along a frisbee, croquette, or another favorite yard game.
