Mother's Day gift ideas

We’ve put together eight thoughtful, and stress-free gift ideas to help you treat mom this Mother’s Day.

1. Homemade brunch. Surprise her with a full course brunch from home, prepared by her loved ones. Forget about last minute reservations and rushing out of the house by bringing the restaurant to her. What’s better than waffles and visiting in your pajamas? Don’t forget the clean up afterward!

2. A day at the spa. Every mom deserves some quality “me time,” and gift cards are a wonderful gift when you can’t quite pin down her favorite spa services. Pick up a gift card at any InSpa, or purchase one online at www.inSpa.com/gift-cards/ to take advantage of our Mother’s Day gift card that comes with a bonus! Get an extra $15 gift card free when you purchase a $100 gift card.

3. That thing she keeps mentioning: a blouse, new gardening gloves, or coffee machine. Whether big or small, she will appreciate the thought. Don’t forget to keep it a surprise!

4. A clean home. Coming home to a spotless house is every mother’s dream. Get out the cleaning supplies and give her home a deep clean or hire out a cleaning service while she relaxes. Go the extra mile and treat her to a manicure/pedicure while her home is being tidied. She will certainly appreciate this gift!

5. Photos. Compile some of your favorite childhood memories and maybe some of your more recent photos into a slideshow. Add these images to a digital photo frame to replay on the mantle.

6. Replenish her skin care or beauty favorites. If you know what she currently uses then it should be an easy task to pick up some of her favorite hand cream, moisturizer, make-up or soaps. If you are not sure what she might like, a preloaded debit card or gift card to her favorite make-up counter, skin care retailer, or spa is a wonderful gesture.

7. Something comfortable to relax in. What does the mom in your life lounge in? Yoga or sweat pants, a cozy pajama set, or a bathrobe and slippers? This is a gift she will get some use out of when it comes to downtime. Be sure to confirm sizing!

8. Membership to her favorite activity. Depending on her interests, an annual membership is a great surprise gift. Find out if she attends a gym, book club, painting class, or spa and purchase a membership or renew an existing. She will be pleasantly surprised!
