For My Mama

The clock is ticking on Mother’s Day…

YOU make Mom so proud – everyday 🙂 

Mother’s Day has a way of sneaking up on all of us. We’re busy studying for finals, applying for jobs, and stressing out about our futures. Before we know it, May has arrived and soon enough it’s MOTHER’S DAY = NEXT SUNDAY!

Here is a list of six possible gifts that are sure to put a smile on your mom’s face this Mother’s Day – and many more after.

The perfect gift for mom costs little money but does require the summoning of long-forgotten elementary school art power. Homemade gifts are a Mother’s Day staple. They are either a fan favorite or absolutely hated – depending on who you ask. From cards, to pictures, to “it’s abstract,” mothers everywhere are sure to crack a smile and give a hug when they see the work, creativity, and thought put into your one of kind gift.

Not everyone is artistically inclined. Fortunately, there are other creative options for the artistically-challenged. You can’t go wrong when trying to spice up bare wall space in the house. To accomplish this, buy your mother a meaningful piece of art that has a connection to either your family or something she enjoys. You can commission a unique piece personalized to her or buy a pre-existing piece that has a connection to her. Either way, she is sure to love it.

Mothers may need an energy boost to get the kids out of bed and out the door to school, or just to go to work in the morning. If your mother fits this profile, maybe consider gifting her a Keurig coffee maker. Keurig offers quality coffee makers, such as the K-Mini SingleServe Coffee Maker, available for $64.99, as well as luxury models like the K-Cafe, Special Edition Single Serve Coffee, Latte and Cappuccino Maker for $199.99. Get yours here. There’s nothing like a good cup of coffee to start the day off right, and your mother deserves to start the day off right… and she’ll think of you every morning.

Have you ever wanted to capture the stars in the night sky after a special day? With Under Lucky Stars, you can do just that. With a variety of different designs, you have the ability to choose any date, time and place you can think of. Wherever your special event happened – like your Mother’s Birthday – Under Lucky Stars has you covered. Several different sizing options are available – up to $65. Design your own here.

Lastly, as we all get older and eventually move away from home, the time we get to spend with our mothers becomes limited. On Mother’s Day, the best gift might be to spend some quality time with your mother, even if it’s just for a few hours. Taking her out to brunch, watching a movie, or just taking time to talk can be the most rewarding gift you can possibly give. The memories you and your mom make together are what is most valuable. Time is priceless.
