What Does Mom Really Want for Mothers Day?

Moms are women first! Being a mother is only one of her many roles, and as this her first priority, she might not have the time to be all the woman she truly is. While Mom is undoubtedly proud of her contributions to her family, she probably doesn't have enough time and energy to pamper herself.

Mom looks in the mirror...sighs...and wishes she had just ten more minutes to style her hair or apply makeup, take a half hour to soak in a nice bath. She looks at her clothes and needs something pretty for her wardrobe. Or wants to take a yoga or workout class to soothe her spirit.

She puts this thought aside for the 1,001st time, and moves on to do the laundry, wash the dishes, go grocery shopping, prepare meals, pick up the kids at school, drive them to a sports practice or music lesson, or juggles an outside job as well as her Mom job.

Mom's the heart and soul of a family, whether she's married or a single mom. But she's a woman first, so on Mothers Day, why not show her that you honor all that she is? Just imagine how her eyes will light up and how fabulous you'll make Mom feel when she knows her family cares about a side of her that she neglected to take care of you.

Gifts For Mothers Day

Give Your Wife A Special Romantic Gift

  • Send her a love letter or poem that tells her how you appreciate her as a woman

  • Give your wife a day at a spa, then take her out to a romantic dinner separate from your family's Mothers Day celebration.
  • Give her a "total makeover" and then have a photographer take glamorous photos. Buy a special frame to prominently display the best one.
  • Give her an especially romantic gift in front of the family so they see how much you appreciate your relationship. Do a special presentation. What about serenading her when you give her a bouquet of flowers? Heck, do a comedy routine if that's more your style!

Mothers Day Gifts From Children

  • Chip in to buy a gift certificate to a spa, make a homemade banner, "We love our beautiful mom!" and hang on the wall over the dinner table
  • Pay for a course that she's been yearning to take
  • What about a gift certificate to her favorite clothing store? With strict orders that she has to use it to buy something only for herself
  • She will especially love this one: make up personal chore coupons that she can use to ask for extra chores to be done so she has the time to do something she enjoys or just "quiet" time.

Give your Mom a Mothers Day gift that shows how much you appreciate and love the total woman she is—and she will be forever grateful.
