Mother's Day - Technical SEO & Internet Marketing in Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Mother’s Day is coming up fast – it’s almost here.  Every once in awhile, life gets crazy and it gets a little bit difficult to come up with something creative on the fly.  If you barely have time to breathe, let alone plan or create a memorable gift, or are just drawing a blank, we’ve created a quick list to help you out.  Even if you don’t use one of these ideas, they’re great starting points for a quick brainstorming session.  Sometimes you just need a new take on the old standard.  Not to mention some of them can be executed in little to no time at all – the only time you need to set aside is the time you’re actually spending with your mom.  Check them out!

Our list of 10 Mother’s Day Gift Ideas:

  • Poems
    • If you have a talent for written word, you can write your own.  If not, you can always use the search engines, “mother’s day poems” gets a decent amount of search volume.  To add an original flair, you can always add a funky presentation – a cool frame, something hand-painted, whatever works for you and your mom.
  • Cards
    • They’re easy to buy, but more heartfelt if they’re made or bought and then decorated by hand.  It may seem a little childish to some, but most moms will find it endearing.
  • Flowers
    • Standard, easy, beautiful – as long as your mom doesn’t have allergies.  Here’s a new take on an old standard – create a bouquet using origami, wooden, feather, or metal flowers.  They’re gorgeous, usually allergy-free, and last far longer than live flowers.  If you’re desperate for a scent, well, they have sprays to handle that with the added bonus of acting like an air/room freshener.
  • Scrapbook
    • This could be created around a moment, a timeline, her favorite hobbies or places, anything.  The opportunities for themes are endless.  This is something your mom can hang onto and show off as an awesome keepsake.
  • Photo Album
    • Not everyone is skilled with scrapbooking, so a photo album suffices.  As with the scrapbook, this could be centered around a fun moment you had together, a certain theme, her favorite animal, or maybe even her bucket list.
  • Spa Day
    • Some moms enjoy a good pampering every once in awhile.  So why not spend a day at the spa together?  There are some great combination packages available for manicures, pedicures, massages, aromatherapy, and more.  You can easily find something that works for you and your mom.
  • Dinner
    • Quick and easy.  Treat her to dinner at her favorite restaurant.  No cooking or dishes necessary!
  • Coupon Book
    • Is your mom stuck cleaning up a lot?  Doing other random stuff?  Give her a personalized coupon book that she can redeem for help cleaning, you taking care of her laundry, a few days of washing the dishes, cooking for her, perhaps a free dinner out.  Whatever fits her personality and gives back to her.
  • A day in their Favorite City/Place
    • Everyone has a place they have always wanted to go or love going to.  Gift your mom with a special day in that place for her.  Maybe for her it’s lunch and a play in New York or a walk down the boardwalk in the coastal city of her choice.
  • Tickets
    • Plays, movies, concerts, amusement parks.  Whatever event brings a bit of joy to your momma, give her tickets to it – even better, go with her to it.

This list is by no means comprehensive.  Gift ideas and opportunities abound.  It’s just a matter of choosing a theme and personalizing it for your mom and your relationship.

With that said, good luck and happy Mother’s Day!
