It's Not Too Late! Gift Ideas for Mom

Don't worry, your mom will love anything you give her for Mother's Day, right? Maybe, maybe not.  If you're at a loss for gift ideas, try out some of the suggestions below (and I'm betting that she'll actually like it):




  • DIY Edible Arrangement: Purchase wooden skewers, a small vase/coffee mug/etc., and an array of chopped fruit (your mom's favorites!).  Place the fruit on the end of the skewers and arrange in the vase (cutting the ends to adjust the length so it has that 'bouquet' feel).  Add a few daisies for a special touch!
  • Mother's Day Basket:  Take a little inspiration from Easter and make your Mom a themed basket.  Base this off of what she likes - beauty products, fitness, fashion, cooking, gardening, etc.  Fill it with little necessities that fit the theme and top it off with some of her favorite flowers!
  • Support local and visit some of Downtown Wyandotte's shops to find a unique piece of jewelry, Vera Bradley apparel, clothing, candles, shoes, art, and much more.  Try browsing around 4 Her Boutique, Willow Tree, Traffic Jam, River's Edge Gallery, Tossed and Found, Total Health Foods, and many of the other hidden gems down Biddle Avenue.
  • DIY Timeline Picture Collage:  Gather pictures of your Mom and you from way back (think birth) to present day and put together a collage.  Try purchasing frames that are already arranged together from Target or Homegoods for your photos.
  • Groupon and Living Social:  It's crazy these days to pay for things full price.  You're pretty much guaranteed to find something of your Mom's interest on one of these sites (for a hugely discounted price).  Keep your eye out the next few days for massages, mani/pedicures, discounted adventures, deals at restaurants, etc.
If it comes from the heart, chances are your mom will love anything you get her!
