Mother's Day is fast approaching and if you haven't bought something yet, you should probably work on that ASAP. Mums work so hard to make our lives manageable and happy, they deserve everything we can give them.
Have you ever got your mum a gift and instantly known she didn't like it? She's too nice to say it, but you just knew when you saw her face.
Well, if you've been stuck on what to get your mum for the big day, you can get an answer now thanks to Reddit.
There was a call out on Reddit to see what mums really wanted for Mother's Day this year. Hint: It's not flowers or a candle.
One mum had a small (yet big) request for her kids:
Just a day where I get home from work, they've done their chores and they aren't bickering over nothing.
It's not a lot, really…
This mom hopes her kids have a better memory next year:
My kids to remember it.
Mother's Day in the USA was last month.
This mum would love a gift you can easily organise:
Some wine and to actually sit down with one of my kids and chat for more than 1 minute without phones.
This mum wants silence:
Someone to cook me dinner while I sit on the couch with a drink in silence.
This tired mum just had one thing:
I'd really just be excited to get uninterrupted sleep for a night.
This mum had other ideas:
honestly can my bestie come over and we sit on the deck eat cheese, drink some cheap wine and chat without being needed
This mum wants an expert to come in:
A professional housecleaning service to come and clean my oven.
This mum made the MIL comment that everyone is thinking:
A clean house, a long nap, and to not have to see my mother-in-law this year. It always turns into her day but hi, I'm a mom too.
It is safe to say, most mothers would like to have a clean house, a dinner they didn't have to think about this year and some wine and relaxation time for Mother's Day. If you can afford it, take the second-last mom's suggestion and hiring a cleaning service for your mum. If your mum loves a wine, a set of personalised wine glasses; one engraved with her name, one with a heart for whoever she wants to share it with is the kind of gift that actually gets used every week, not put on a shelf. She can pour two glasses and sit with her kids without the phones, invite her bestie over to the deck, or just enjoy one in silence while someone else makes dinner for once. Skip the flowers and get her the biggest cup of her favourite coffee to start the day. Then you can spoil her with dinner and all of the pampering that she wants. But make sure you let her actually sleep in!
The gift she'll actually use
Every single week.
Two engraved French crystal wine glasses - one with her name, one with a heart. Gift-ready and ships express.
