3. Keychain
You may be skeptical at first but these key chains scream I put some serious thought into this gift. Think about it, your mom can’t go anywhere without her keys, and a key chain will remind her how much you appreciate her. Besides, there are so many different styles so you’re bound to find one that’s perfect for your mom’s style. Check out these three precious products on Etsy: GeekTags, VantlerLeather and TheCloverSmith.
4. Something Personal
This gift involves a little bit of extra thinking, remember those little things your mom is always saying she needs or would like to buy? Maybe she ran out of her favorite perfume a couple of weeks ago and has been meaning to go get some. Save her the trip of going to the store and surprise her with exactly what she needs! Or maybe there’s these shoes that you and your mom saw that she fell in love with but couldn’t justify spending her money on. This gift could also be as simple as surprising your mom by making her favorite meal. The fact that you put in the time and effort to remember whatever personal gift you may get your mom is sure to warm her heart.
5. Handmade Card
We all know that no mom can resist a good handmade card! If all else fails don’t forget to channel your inner Picasso and make her a card she’ll keep forever. After all, Mother’s Day isn’t always about the fancy gifts; it’s about showing your mom you don’t know what you would do without her.
