What are you getting your Mom for Mother’s Day?

Does anyone feel like they end up getting their Mom the same gift year after year? Flowers, bottles of wine, and scented candles are nice, but wouldn’t you rather come up with something a little more thoughtful? Here are 5 ideas that will show your leading lady you put a little extra effort into your Mother’s Day gift this year: (By the way: we’re having our product hunt launch day tomorrow and would love your support. Storii makes a great Mother’s Day Gift, too! Let us know what you think.) Give the gift of learning something new - If your Mom or Grandma is one of those ladies that has everything she needs, why not give her the gift of a memorable experience? You can find both local and online classes and workshops for virtually everything under the sun: mixology, arts and crafts, writing, cooking, history, exercise, meditation, gardening, eco-friendly living, etc. From how to curate the perfect capsule wardrobe to gourmet cake decorating 101, you’re bound to find a new hobby or skill that will pique her interest. An instant camera - If your mom loves to document life’s big and little moments, this is an easy winner. She’ll be able to put down her phone and pick up something fun to shoot. Plus, the retro aesthetic will may make her feel sentimental and nostalgic. Instantly having tangible photos to put up on the fridge, stick in a wallet, or give to friends and family is sure to generate all the warm, fuzzy feelings. Enhance her hostess game - Snag a fancy cheese board that will up her presentation skills. A set of Moscow Mule mugs or a cocktail smoker for patio nights? A fondue or raclette maker for dinner parties? A luxury pizza stone for perfectly cooked homemade ‘za? A stunning vase or serving utensil? Gourmet ingredients to make her feel Michelin-level in the kitchen. There’s a potentially endless list of items that she would love to show off when she flexes her hostess skills. Build a DIY Pamper Kit - If she’s unlikely to spend money on a spa day for herself, bring the spa to her! Put together a kit with things like bath bombs, epsom salts, body scrub, a crystal facial roller, silky pajamas, a luxurious robe, fuzzy slippers, a new book or magazine, a bath caddy, and/or a water bottle with an infuser, etc. Something sentimental - Sites like Etsy or Not On The High Street are great for inspiring this type of gift. Think: a locket with a picture of her grandkids, a cutting board engraved with one of her mother’s famous recipes, a watercolour portrait of a beloved family home or pet, or a lovely box of notecards filled with your favorite memories, photos, and reasons you love her.
