I am all about finding the most fabulous gifts, whether it be for someone’s birthday, Chirstmas or even for Mother’s/Father’s day. My email inbox has been flooded with email blasts of everything from flower bouquets to mom-encrusted jewelry. Some of those kinds of gifts could be so generic and boring. Hell, if I were to get a damn necklace with “Mom” scripted next to a rose, I’ll shoot myself. Ok, I might not shoot myself, but I’d be highly disappointed. What am I, a 90 year old grandma? No, I am young mom, we need something relevant and stylish!
So in an effort to help all men out there surprise the ladies of their lives on Mother’s Day, here are some fabulous gifts for Mom’s this Mother’s Day:
These are great and can totally be personalized to the recipient. Get the kids birthstones, get mom’s initial, your fave sports team, spiritual symbols – whatever the mom likes! There are tons to choose from & they are affordable.
2. Brunch!
Take mama to a fabulous brunch. If you are in South Florida, take your special lady to NYY Steakhouse at the Coconut Creek Casino. They have quite the spread for Mother’s Day from 10:30 am – 2:30 pm. For $75 a person, you get to feast on a fresh seafood station, salad station, pancake station, egg and omelet station, dual carving stations, a variety of hot dishes, a dessert, ice cream and pastry station. You can even toast with fresh mimosas or check out the Bloody Mary bar! Call 954-935-6NYY (6699) to make your Mother’s Day reservations! Bonus-you get 2 complimentary mimosas or Grey Goose Bloody Mary’s per adult over 21 years old. Can’t beat great food AND great drinks, plus any mom would love the day off from cooking and you even could do some gambling!
3. Interactive Cooking Classes
If your significant other or mom is a culinary lover, take them to a fun date night out, with some vino and learn some yummy new menu items. Can’t hurt to learn a few techniques in the kitchen!
4. Family Portrait or Kid’s Portrait’s
Take the kids or the whole family to get some pictures taken. Then frame them for mom, grandma or aunts!
5. Membership to somewhere – like Pure Barre, Yoga, Pilates, Crossfit or to a gym.
I’d be one happy camper if I woke up on Mother’s Day morning to a big ole print out saying I have an unlimited month of classes at Pure Barre. (Ladies, Pure Barre is amazing and I will be doing another post about it soon because I’m slightly obsessed!)
Vino2Go stemless tumbler can be customized for mom!
The perfect glass when you are a busy mom who is multitasking around the house and still wants to enjoy a nice beverage…whether it be alcoholic or non! You can get it monogrammed for mom in fave color and tell her to drink up! She’ll love you for it.
7. Asymmetrical Initial Necklace
i’m obsessed with these! perfect to represent each kid
Love this site – Marc & Graham. It’s apart of the Pottery Barn family that I recently discovered and love. Everything you ever wanted monogrammed is here and even things you never thought you wanted. I’m obsessed with this necklace and it’s perfect for any mom, grandma, aunt – whoever!
My Instagram is loaded with pics of my kids. I know you are probably feeling sorry for all the friends that follow but they secretly love it. HA! Well, there are companies now that make some really awesome prints of your Instagram pics. And lets face it, thanks to Instagram, we are all some-what of fantastic photogs, so why not make something out of all your profound snapshots. Prinstagram allows you to make prints, flip books, and cards out of your pics. Love this little book-perfect for a grandma’s brag book that fits in her purse. You can get 2 mini books for 12 bucks. Steal.
9. Hire a cleaning service
New or seasoned mom, I don’t know any one who wouldn’t want this!
10. Concert Tickets
Check out Livenation.com and see if anyone great is coming. Surprise your mom with a night out for her +1 (GNO Baby!) or for you to join. Nothing beats a thoughtfully planned evening out with out the kids every once in a while.
Hope these ideas help you make the mom in your life feel like the queen she is!
