I almost hate to write this post because I honestly don't want anything for mother's day (well except maybe to have the day off from cooking and dishes) and am not a big gift person. But alas, I know there are many generous partners out their looking to do something special for their counterpart. Here are some ideas for things mom might love. Keep in mind that most moms just like the extra love so don't worry about being extravagant (though I wouldn't turn down a getaway to Miraval) the best gifts are the ones that involve the kids.
If you're a mom and you're reading this, what is your favorite Mother's Day gift? Stay tuned for a great Mother's Day giveaway coming to the blog soon!!
Thanks as always for stopping by!

- Get up earlier than mom (in my house that could be tricky) and make her coffee
and have the kids help make a special breakfast - Frame an awesome piece of your child's artwork
- Surprise mom and have professional photos taken of the kids (mom's love photos)
- If you aren't in to cooking, take mom out to brunch with the family so she doesn't have to cook or clean!
- A Stitch Fix gift card- you can't go wrong with giving mom the opportunity to get styled from the comfort of her own home!
- I'm not a big jewelry person but I love a simple necklace with a lot of meaning. Becoming Jewelry (of Maine) has some fantastic pieces where you can add your kids' names, initials, or birth dates for mom.
- A trip to the spa. This is one gift that doesn't involve the kids, and is just flat out pampering mom, but can't go wrong with this :-) Its good idea to set a date for her and arrange childcare to ensure she gets there!
- If you're really wanting to buy something extra for her this year, consider a spring infinity scarf, fancy chic diaper bag she's been eyeing, or go really big with a Vitamix!
- Help your child/children decorate a flower pot and then go to the greenhouse and pick out a special plant to put in it. Mom will love the artwork and thoughtfulness, and a plant is something she can enjoy well beyond the day.
- Mother's Day Gift Set from The Honest Company- this is a great gift package of pampering products as well as a signed copy of The Honest Life, by Jessica Alba
- A gift of local Maine candles and soaps- Check out my favorites Seawick Candles and Casco Bay Soap Company.
