Perhaps getting mom a Mother’s Day present got bumped down to the bottom of your to-do list, buried amongst countless other assignments and tests. Or maybe you simply don’t know what to get for your mother–after all, planning the perfect mothers day gift is no easy feat.
Whatever state your Mother’s Day planning is in, The Nest has a few ideas to kickstart a brilliant plan that your mother is sure to love.
Don’t have the budget to go buy mum that designer handbag she’s been eyeing for the past couple months? Never fear! Instead of blowing all your hard earned money on Louis Vuitton, why not make something handmade? A handmade gift is much more heartfelt than a store bought one, especially if it’s made with time, care, and most importantly, love. Perhaps you could try your hand at something new, such as knitting, or pick up a past hobby that you haven’t had as much time to do since starting highschool. Even if the final outcome is a hole-infested sweater or a crumpled up piece of paper, your mum will appreciate your effort - or at least feel guilty about throwing it out.
Maybe you want to get mom something simple yet sweet. Something that shows your appreciation and love for your mother, without being overly extravagant. If this is the case, then a nice, good quality card is the perfect idea for you. A card will allow you to really tell your mum how much you appreciate and love her– and maybe even tell her some things that you may be too embarrassed to say in person. A card is a great option for just about anyone. All you need is a piece of paper, a pen, and you’re good to go!
If you’re leaning more towards the experience side of presents, a nice lunch or relaxing picnic may be a good idea. A meal out will allow you to spend quality time with your mom, something that many students may not get to do that much due to homework loads and the extracurriculars that so many of us are enrolled in. Time is a valuable gift, and something that your mother is sure to appreciate! A little catch up could also be beneficial to you and your mom's relationship, and will allow you to strengthen the mother-child bond that is such an important part of growing up. As well, with the weather finally improving, a little time spent out in nature could do us all some good!
No matter what you decide to give your mom, whether it be a designer handbag or an origami crane, as long as it’s gifted with love and appreciation, your mother is sure to be thankful.
