Gifting Tips for Mother’s Day

Doesn’t it seem like every day should be Mother’s Day? Think about every Super Mom out there, going to work each morning after spending the night consoling you after bad dreams. She comes home from her full-time job only to provide you with a hot meal and warm hug. More than 35,000 single mothers work to earn a living and still come home to care for little ones.

Every Day Should Be Mother’s Day

You might have heard it said before, but it’s true. A mother is essentially a chef, playmate, care provider, driver and more — all for no pay. Mothers are rewarded for their effort in hugs, kisses and in seeing their children grow and flourish. In the last 10 years, single mothers have outweighed single fathers significantly, and the number of single parents continues growing.

She spent years of her life raising you, and now it is your annual chance to show her that you appreciate all that hard work. What are you going to do for Mother’s Day? It’s already time to start planning the perfect gift.

When you seek out a way to celebrate your mother, whether you do it every day or just once a year, think about all the things she has taught you. What has she given to you, physically and emotionally? Think of all the gifts that Mom has given to you each day. How can you possibly repay this?

Gifting Tips for Mother’s Day — And Year Round

Why do we give gifts to mothers on just one day of the year? In reality, giving gifts, both physical and otherwise, can be a much more popular activity if we know how to do it. These tips will help you put together the perfect gift for your mom on just about any day of the year.

–       Write a heartfelt letter or card to let her know that you love her. The words, straight from your heart, will mean more to her than anything money can buy.

–       Give your mom a real hug! This kind of affection is not something you can buy. A little bit of emotional and physical affection can go a long way.

–       Surprise mom with a delicious breakfast in bed. She will be so surprised to see that you have put your heart into making her a meal!

–       Order something she can receive in the mail. This is a wonderful surprise, especially if she is not expecting to receive anything.

–       Create a beautiful piece of artwork to go along with your gift. It could be a painting, a digital collage or even a photo that you have taken and framed. Anything you create is perfect, especially when placed alongside a bouquet of roses or a delicious meal.

–       Just listen! Sometimes mothers, like everybody else, simply want you to listen to them. Have a real conversation where you get to know your mother. You might be surprised at what you learn about somebody you thought you knew.

–       Make it easy for your mother to make time for herself. Do you know how hard it can be for a parent — especially a single parent — to have peace? Make sure Mom can relax every once in a while. It’s good for the body, mind and soul!
