The Loving Mom

The holidays are quickly approaching and as an exhausted mother, these are gifts I wish to receive. I agree that material presents are very exciting to shop for, but they can also create clutter and overwhelm the recipient, because the last thing a mother needs it is another thing to take care of. The goal is to decrease the load of these hardworking women and what better way to do this than completing some of her chores. The best thing about these presents are that you can either pay for them or do them yourself.

1. Cleaning Services: If you go to Groupon you can find many cleaning companies that offer certificates for an hour or two of cleaning services. Make her day better by sending someone to clean her house and give her a few hours of rest.

2. Cook her a meal: You can also give her a gift card to Uber Eats or something similar. Let her enjoy a hot meal on you while she spends time with her family.

3. Offer to watch her kids: If you are a close family member and her kids are familiar with you, take them for a few hours and do something exciting with them. She won’t feel guilty or worried because she knows her kids are safe with a trustworthy adult.

4. Buy them a self-care certificate: This can go together with offering to watch her kids. While you have the kids she can go get her nails done, get a facial, massage, or get a workout in. You get the idea.

5. Car cleaning service: Like any mother knows, these lovely tornadoes can destroy anything in seconds, especially if you have toddlers. Hire a company to come detail her car. I guarantee she will be extremely grateful.

I hope this post gave you some good presents ideas. I am sure the woman that will receive them is very thankful to have you in her life. Please let her know that she is doing an amazing job being a mother and tell her to set herself free of any negative feeling and stereotypes.
