Want to know the ultimate Mother’s Day gift idea? Buy flowers!

Last year, we moved into a new house. My wife told me with words from her own mouth, “All I want for Mother’s Day is for you to mulch and landscape our yard.” So, I honored her request. I spent hours upon hours in our new yard until I crafted a thing of beauty that would have won awards on any HGTV show. But that was all I did. Near the close of the feminine sacred day, my wife not so subtly let me know she was disappointed about not getting flowers. Buy flowers! No matter what she says, even if she is allergic, buy her flowers. This list of Mother’s Day gift ideas can supplement the flowers you DEFINITELY will buy your wife this year.

 

A gift for the outdoorsy wife

If your special lady likes to hike or explore the great outdoors, this water filter is a great gift. The compact size of it makes it extremely travel-friendly. It easily fits in a bag and will provide her with all the clean water she can drink.

Wife with a sweet tooth

Chocolate is a go-to Mother’s Day gift idea. Like peanut butter and jelly, flowers and chocolate simply go together as a gift. It’s a classic combination.

A gift for the problem solver

If your bride likes mental challenges, a puzzle can be a great gift idea. After a long day at work, sitting in front of a puzzle can be a great way to unwind while also giving her mind something to do.

Mother’s Day gift for relaxation

It’s likely your wife’s side of the bathroom is filled with potions and elixirs you don’t understand. It’s okay. You don’t need to understand it to know she likes it. Adding bath bombs (they’re not the kind that blow up., I checked) and spa ingredients can give the busy mom some moments of relaxation.

The gift of a caffeine kick

If your wife is human, she may reach for a cup of coffee in the morning before she reaches for you. Gifting her with her own personal café may actually make her love you more—if such an idea were even possible.

The infamous workout warrior

Does your wife love the gym or love looking like she is headed to the gym? Yoga pants seem to be the go-to for any activities ladies want to engage in. While there are many great Mother’s Day gift ideas in the fashion arena, this one must also come with a warning. You better get the right size and style and brand and color, and…maybe get one of her friends or sisters to help you out with this one.

For the wife that keeps a journal

A Mother’s Day gift for the photographer

Many women enjoy taking pictures, but many pictures live only on phones. This idea will give her an option to print her favorite pictures and hang them up around the house. You could even use it to make a special photo album of her Mother’s Day experience.

For the mom that just needs a break

Your wife probably does all kinds of work for you and your family that you aren’t even aware of. One of the greatest gifts you can give her is a day off. For a whole day or possibly the weekend, take over every single one of her responsibilities. And I do mean ALL of her work. Make sure she doesn’t have to lift a finger. She’ll appreciate your effort.

 


 

Don’t forget: BUY FLOWERS!

I know you want to show your wife you love her. This list should point you in the right direction and help you come up with some great Mother’s Day gift ideas. Again, buy flowers. Make sure whatever you do for your wife this year, her gift includes flowers.
