Where would we be without moms? For most of us, our mothers have large, positive roles in our lives. But parenting is often a thankless job, and moms rarely hear so much as a “thanks.” If you want to thank your mom for everything she does, here are five heartfelt gifts to make Mom feel special! It doesn’t have to be a special occasion for you to celebrate your mom—these gifts work great all year long.
A Heartfelt Card
A handmade card is sure to make mom smile! It doesn’t have to be a masterpiece—it just needs to come from the heart. Tell her how much she means to you and what you love about her, and decorate the card with her favorite colors and scribbles of her favorite things.
A Fun Day Out
Even moms like to party from time to time! Why not take yours out for a fun day out on the town? Think about what your mom likes. Does she love painting? You can take her to a painting studio. Does she love nature? Try the local arboretum or the park for a picnic. Is she a bit of a daredevil? Plan a trip to the racetrack! Whatever activity you choose, make sure it’s one Mom will have a blast doing.
A Chore-Free Day
Moms do a lot. But taking on too many responsibilities can be tiring. Give your mom a break from the usual chores associated with homeownership, parenting, and general adulthood by taking on her responsibilities for a day. We’re not saying you have to do her taxes or pay the mortgage—just help out with cooking, cleaning, shopping, yard care, car maintenance, or whatever else you can reasonably lend a hand with. Your mom will be beyond grateful to have a day off where she can do whatever she wants without worry!
