Mother's Day is coming up on May 8th and we want you to be prepared.  When it comes to gifts, what do you get for your mom?   Sometimes that can be difficult, sometimes, not so much because you know your mom better than anyone.  However if you are stumped on what to get mom, here are a few ideas.

A Spa Day

If your mom needs a little pampering, and she is into being pampered then a spa day is perfect. A massage, a facial, a mani/pedi, you can't go wrong with a little pampering.  Just make sure she is into things like this, some people don't like to be touched.

Brunch

Take her or make her a delicious brunch.  Make it about her and make sure she is taken care of with some delicious food.  You can't go wrong with food.  Try to do a brunch because it is just a bit more special and you can have mimosas.

A Homemade Gift

Let's face it, mom's are suckers for a homemade gift.  Especially if it comes from a little boy or girl who spent time on it and they are super excited for mom to open it.  Those are the best in the world.  Now if you aren't little anymore mom will still love that special homemade gift.  You're her kid, always will be her kid.

Here's the best thing you can get mom especially if you still have children in the home.

Afternoon or a Day of Peace and Quiet

Every hard working mom needs some peace and quiet.   They need a moment to themselves to just enjoy the quiet.  So treat mom to that special time.  If you are her spouse or partner tell her you are going to take the kids out for the day and she gets some alone time.  Make sure she realizes that, that quiet time isn't for cleaning or doing stuff for the family.  That time is for her.  If you are her younger child, get with your other parent or a friend and make plans to take the rest of your siblings and get out of the house and let mom enjoy the silence.

Here's a few things you don't want to get mom:

Avoid the flowers - most moms will tell you that they don't want flowers

Appliances- this includes anything that helps clean or do laundry or cook.  Do not buy her these things unless she asks.
