Mother's Day is coming up Sunday, May 12. And if you're anything like me, you have no idea what to get your Mom. You're stressed just thinking about it. I get it. Finding new and exciting gift ideas is tough, especially when it's for someone you love, who already has everything she needs.
And, of course, let's remember where we are, on a home organizing blog where we try to do everything sustainably, reduce waste, get rid of the clutter. Oh the pressure is mounting!
Okay, don't worry. I got you covered. I came up with a list of clutter-free gift ideas for Mother's Day. And this list totally can be repurposed for Father's Day on Sunday, June 16 and birthdays, graduations, basically all gift-giving occasions.
Experience Gifts
Does your mom like art, animals, theater? Take your mom to a museum, the local zoo, a national park. Go see a play together, a comedy show, an improv show. Give her a spa day. Go play miniature golf.
How sporty is your mom? You can take her biking, hiking, for a walk at the beach, pack a picnic and go to the park. Or has she always wanted to try climbing a rock wall or horseback riding? How about skeet shooting? Whatever her interests, there are endless possibilities for experience gifts Mom is sure to love and appreciate.
Homemade Gifts
Create a family photo album or a photo book for Mom, or a gift basket with brownies or coffee and muffins or wine and cheese. Or make dinner for her, surprise Mom with her favorite family recipe.
Freebie Coupon
Give Mom a break for Mother's Day. Offer to babysit her littles for a night. Or offer free pet sitting or housecleaning. Take her car in for service. Fix a broken lamp. Take out her trash. Mow the lawn.
Gift Card
Treat your mom with something special that she might not do for herself, like a new haircut, a massage or a spa day. Yes I know I said spa day earlier, but it's a great idea.
An Audible Subscription
Does your mom enjoy podcasts? Audiobooks? Is she a news junkie, true crime buff, loves the classics or just has to check out the latest bestsellers? I love listening to podcasts while I declutter and clean around the house so I recently signed up for Audible. Audible is an audiobook and podcast service from Amazon with thousands of titles, including bestsellers, new releases and original content. An Audible subscription is a great clutter-free gift idea for someone who enjoys listening to audiobooks and podcasts. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
