This post is featured on behalf of Jenna Brown.


Mother’s Day is a great time to show your mother how much she means to you. Many children choose to send their mother a card or flowers on this special day, but there may be better gift options to consider.

The guide below walks you through a few ideas for great gift ideas to consider giving your mother this Mother’s Day!

1. Consider Giving Your Mother a Unique Gift Basket

Flowers are beautiful gifts, but they do not last very long and do not provide a great use other than looking pretty and smelling great. Consider purchasing your mother a gift basket that she will be able to use and enjoy more than just smelling or looking at it. There are baskets available in many different sizes and at many different price points, making them ideal for any budget.

There are fresh and delicious Mother’s Day gift baskets available that are created with delicious fruits. Consider what fruits your mother loves the most and purchase a gift basket that contains those specific fruits. Be sure to order the gift basket in advance to ensure the company has time to make the exact basket that you want to purchase.

2. Consider Giving Your Mother the Gift of a Unique Experience

There are many mothers who have always dreamed of going to try or see something new. Find out if there are any places that your mother has always wanted to see or if there is any activity she has ever wanted to try. Pay for a trip for your mother to go visit her dream destination or to try the thing that she has always wanted to do.

If you plan to purchase a trip for your mother, you can buy her a gift certificate to the destination and pay for her hotel, activities she wants to do, and even for restaurants that she may want to eat at while she is on her trip. Paying for everything upfront will allow your mother to be able to truly relax on her dream trip.

3. Consider Giving Your Mother the Gift of Learning Something New

There are many mothers who have always wanted to learn a specific skill such as how to cook intricate dinners or how to paint elaborate paintings. See if you can find classes in your area that you can go and do with your mother. This will give you a chance to be able to learn how to do something new and spend time with your mother doing something that she would really like to do.

When searching for a class for the two of you to do together, consider the abilities of your mother. You want to be sure that you choose a class that your mother will be able to easily do physically. If she has limited vision or is limited physically, it is important to make sure that the instructor will be able to make accommodations for her when the two of you go to the class before paying for the classes. This will ensure that you and your mother are able to enjoy the classes as much as possible when you go to them.

Be sure to talk to your mother before the big day arrives so that you can get an idea of what she would like as a gift for Mother’s Day. Your mother should be able to receive a gift that she really loves after years of providing you with love and caring.
