As Mother's Day approaches, Moms everywhere are ready for a day that is all about them! For some, money has been tight, and big lavish gifts (as much as we want to) may not always be an available option.
We've compiled a list of very easy-to-give, and not often thought of gifts. Sure jewlery, pair of shoes, or a bag might be nice, but deep down what most moms wish for is more time, a break from a mundane task, or some time for themselves.
What mom really wants for Mother's Day or any other holiday:
- A long, hot, uninterrupted shower
- A sink clear of all dirty dishes
- Clean, folded, and put-away laundry
- Time to drink a hot cup of coffee or tea
- For things that get knocked over or dropped to be picked up
- For uninterrupted time to tackle the never ending To-Do list
- A night out with friends without the kids
- An hour to watch a show from start to finish without having to pause or rewind
- One morning to sleep in
- An hour of quiet to read a book, journal, meditate or do yoga
- A trip to the store without kids to get shopping done quickly and tear-free
- Time to prepare a meal without someone else constantly needing something
- A hot, uninterrupted meal
- A clean car (inside and out)
- Time to get ready without someone holding her pant leg, crying, asking for help or needing to be rescued
- Privacy when using the bathroom
- A nap
- A family photo with everyone smiling
- A family outing during which everyone is happy
Lastly, simply compile a list of all the wonderful things that remind you of mom, that mom does to make you smile, and tell her you love her! Your mom will certainly appreciate the appreciation
