For my own mother, I tend to do photo gifts, flowers, or garden items. Oh, and chocolates. Plus a card. I hit on some ideas last week in my How To Show Mom You Care post. We will be spending Mother's Day together.
If you're looking for something unique, I have some AFFORDABLE ideas. (Everything is under $50.)
1. Victoria Season One DVD set.
I love shows on PBS. I'm sure you've seen Downton Abbey and Call The Midwife. Those air on PBS and so does Victoria. It's about Queen Victoria, and she was a rather amazing lady. I've seen the series and loved it! One of my favorite parts was when Victoria started hopping up and down after sex because she was told it could prevent a pregnancy. (It didn't.) If the mother in your life enjoys shows like this, pick it up at the Shop PBS store.
2. A fun planter.
I picked this up from Kohls. They had tons of various planters. My mom loves to plant stuff. I, unfortunately, have a black thumb and can't grow a thing.
3. Chocolates!
Okay, okay, it's not unique, but you can never go wrong with chocolate. Obviously you can pick up chocolates anywhere.
4. A book purse!
For the woman that loves to read, this is perfect. I actually got it for Christmas, and I love it. I'm always reading, so it's perfect. You can pick it up at Think Geek.
5. A hilarious sign.
For the mother with a sense of humor, this is perfect. I might have to pick this up for myself because it amuses me so much. You can buy it on Etsy from Edisonwood.
6. A personalized bookmark.
Again, if you have a mom who loves to read, this bookmark is the way to go. You can buy this from the Etsy shop RobertaValle.
7. A bag of unicorn farts.
If you want Mom to laugh, pick this up. It looks like it's just cotton candy, but the bag will get some laughs. Unless you come from a family who doesn't talk about farts. I was friends with someone like that and it was confusing to me. You can buy it on Amazon.
8. Mom & Me shirts.
You can pick up these shirts from The Children's Place.
What are you getting your mom? And if you are a mom, what are you hoping to get?

ReplyDeleteWhat great ideas. I love the funky planter. She is always working out in the garden so that would be a good fit :)

ReplyDeleteThese are such great gift ideas. I just wish my mother wouldn't have so many allergy problems or be bigger into reading. Although she might stick the bookmark in her Bible. hmmmm... getting the creative juices flowing.
ReplyDeleteUsually my youngest makes me a craft. I haven't figured out what I am getting my Mom yet, she can be challenging to buy for.

ReplyDeleteThese are such good ideas, and I especially love the mommy and me shirts! How adorable are those!
ReplyDeleteThese are really lovely ideas.Most of the ideas are unique.I love to have mom & me T shirts! :)
ReplyDeleteHAHA Loved the Unicorn Farts! Great ideas..! And now I feel guilty!
ReplyDeleteUseful tips since Mother’s Day is just around the corner. It’s best that we can also give moms out there not the typical flowers and cake gift during mother's day.
ReplyDeleteThese are very cute! I'm sure mom would love if I gave her a pretty funny door sign. Haha!
ReplyDeleteOooh I love that planter! I would have to buy two since I would want to keep it and not give it away!
ReplyDeleteChocolates and the book purse are my favorites. I am considering buying it for my mom as a gift on mother`s day.

My girls usually make me something, which I love! That book purse is absolutely AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteI am all about the affordable gifts that would make an impact. These are all lovely ideas for gifts!
ReplyDeleteI've been curious about that Victoria series and I sure would love to go watch it. I think these are all lovely items, that book bag is awesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for reminding me that it's Mother's Day soon! Haha. The fun planter and the hilarious sign would be perfect for my mom. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat funny sign would be nice! However, I think my mom would be too old for this kind of humor. I'd choose the unique planter instead because she just loves gardening.
ReplyDeleteI like the Mom and Me shirts. So cool! I will check if they have other colors and designs. I am getting that for myself. Oh, my sister would love that too.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful choices and I'm sure any mom would appreciate whichever you pick from this list! I would personally choose that book bag though.
ReplyDeleteThose are some amazing choices :) and oh my your pictures in the end are so cute.
ReplyDeleteIt makes the post complete :)
Love your blog it's always brings a smile on my face :)
