For many of us, honoring our mother's on Mother's Day can be a challenging task. How does one celebrate a lifetime of motherhood on a single day well? While it may be a difficult to fully bring honor to our moms in one day, we've rounded up a few special ideas to jumpstart your search to finding that perfect Mother's Day Gift!

1) Book an Experience

Rather than putting all your eggs into one Mother's Day brunch, why not book a fun experience for mom? Whether it's something she'd enjoy alone (like a watercolor class) or something the two of you could do together (e.g.: a cooking class), a shared experience is something to be treasured far longer than wilted flowers or yet another Hallmark card. Some other ideas might include attending a local theater together, spending a day at the spa with one another, signing up for a dance class, or touring a local winery.

2) Personalized Garden Stone
Does your mom love spending time outdoors, on her porch, or in her garden? A personalized garden stone with grandchildren’s handprints, a favorite quote, or a treasured memory is a beautiful gift that continues giving every time she’s outdoors!

3) Homemade Extracts
Have a mama who you can’t keep out of the kitchen? Why not try experimenting with homemade extracts? From simple vanilla bean to a more exotic orange mint, the possibilities for creativity are endless! Check out this helpful blog for the DIY-lowdown!

4) Family Recipe Collection
There’s nothing like a good recipe that’s been passed on for generations to come! Why not put together an official book or packet with all of your family’s favorite recipes? If you want to get the grandkids involved, have them illustrate! It’s a fun gift that the whole family can get behind!

5) Revamp Her Outdoor Living Space
Mother’s Day is a great time of year to revamp mom’s outdoor living area! Purchase a few new outdoor plants, some outdoor pillows or a gift certificate, and a handful of citronella candles to give her outdoor space a little pick-me-up for her to enjoy all spring and summer long. 

6) Sign Her Up for a Gift of the Month Club
If you truly want a unique gift that will continue giving all year long, why not sign up for a fun gift-of-the-month club? Choose from a variety of gifts tailored to your mom! Does she enjoy unique wines? A wine of the month subscription could be fun! Is she a fashionista always on the lookout for a new trend? Why not try a fun clothing of the month box? The possibilities are truly endless nowadays, so have fun exploring and choosing the just-right-for-mom idea!

All of these ideas should inspire you to find something extra special for mom this Mother’s Day, but the best thing you could do for her is to let her know just how much you value and appreciate everything she has done for your entire family throughout the years!
