Kids Silhouettes
Do you want to know what I’ve asked my family for this Mother’s Day? Silhouettes of my children’s faces. They sell them in Disneyland, but we were too busy to stop for them when we went last fall. I’d love to memorialize those sweet cheeks while my kids are still young. This is the exact link I sent my husband when I told him what to get me. Ha!

Create personalized coupons for your mother, offering to do tasks like washing her car, cooking her dinner, or running errands. This is a thoughtful and practical gift that will be appreciated. Not sure you want to design coupons on your own? Grab ours here.
Car Detail
Treat your mother to a professional car detail to make her feel special. It is a practical gift that will leave her car looking like new. Even if you can’t afford a professional car detailing, giving mom some of your own time to clean her car would make all the diference!
Time Alone
Sometimes the best gift is time alone. Give your mother the gift of a relaxing day to herself, free from any responsibilities or distractions.

Candid Pictures of Her with the Kids
Mom’s rarely ever get candid pictures of themselves. Sure, we might snap a few selfies here and there. We might also pay for professional family pictures. But, when candid pictures are taken, they are usually taken by mom. Start taking more candid pictures of mom and surprise her by printing them, or emailing them to her!
Lego Flowers Mother’s Day Gifts for Mom
For the creative mother, a set of Lego flowers to build with her children is a fun and interactive gift. It is a great way to spend quality time together. Our family got this set of Lego Orchid’s and built it for Easter. It was such a fun project to do with our Lego loving kids, but make a beautiful decoration on our shelf!
