5 Gifts Mom Really Wants this Mother's Day

Let’s be real… Mom doesn’t actually want that ‘Mama Bear’ coffee mug. Skip the overdone + cliche gifts this year. Instead, get her something she really wants! The best part? These gifts are things you can do around the house without breaking the bank. 

1. A New Kitchen
Yes, we know this would be an expensive gift. However, there are ways to give your kitchen a facelift, so that it feels brand new, without the hefty price tag! Think by project. Does Mom hate the cabinets? Great! Now is your chance to stain or paint them to better suit her style. Both you and Mom will be wowed by how one small project can transform the entire look of the kitchen.

Other budget-friendly projects with wow-factor include: updating lighting + light fixtures, updating metal fixtures + hardware, and painting the walls/adding wallpaper. You could easily replace the backsplash with stick-on tile or paint for a lower-cost upgrade than new tile.

2. A New Bathroom
The bathroom is the only place Mom can really escape to be alone, so why not make it an oasis? Transform her bathroom into a spa with these few small updates: add candles, an oil diffuser, eucalyptus in the shower, and other greenery for display. Consider purchasing a new shower curtain, bath towels, and hand towels (matching white ones really add to the spa-like feel).

Adding shelving and other spa-like organization units are great too. Bathtub shelves are especially luxurious. You could even have her tub lined, and/or purchase a towel warmer for maximum comfort. Pair these updates with a care package including: bath bombs, a new robe, and body scrubs for the ultimate spa-like bathroom experience.

3. A Clean House
Simple, but effective. You can clean Mom’s house for nearly free if you already have cleaning supplies at your disposal. There’s nothing better than enjoying a clean house, and the weight of having to do it yourself lifted off of your shoulders. Dust, vacuum, windex, sweep, and wipe down all surfaces to surprise Mom. Consider opening the windows to freshen the air, too.

4. An Organized House
There’s two ways to go about this gift. You could take the lower-cost route, and gift mom with your time, or you could spend a little money on different organizational tools. Focus on problem areas that Mom uses often, such as the pantry, laundry room, and closets. Timeblock a few hours to organize and clean your chosen areas, and/or invest in baskets, boxes, shelves, hooks, jars, labels, and dividers to make the space aesthetically organized. If you want to really spoil Mom, do both!


5. An Outdoor Oasis
We have a hunch that Mom enjoys sitting outside and enjoying the spring weather. Upgrade her outside space with something new that will add to her comfort. Consider purchasing a new patio furniture set, a firepit, or a hammock.

For a less expensive option, surprise her with any of the following items: twinkle string lights, a new book to read outside, new outdoor pillows + cushions, tiki torches, and/or citronella candles. These options will vary depending on the type and amount of outdoor space available to Mom, so use your imagination!

Okay, you caught us. Mom isn’t the only one who wants these things. We want them too, and we bet you do too. That’s why we have a network of vendors and services available for all of your home renovation and cleaning needs.
