Timeless Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
I saw something recently that said, “everyone on earth is either a mother or a child.” Some might argue that Mother’s Day and many other holidays have gotten out of hand or are painted in a negative light due to being a “Hallmark holiday.”
We agree that holidays have gotten a touch out of control and there’s a ton of pressure to provide big gifts. My sisters and I are all mothers. Sometimes we want to celebrate things differently, sometimes we love the same things. We can all agree that watching our children learn and grow is the most rewarding part of motherhood. Modeling hard work for our kids is very important to us as well as modeling how to take care of yourself.
Celebrating mothers, mother-in-laws, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, mothers who are no longer with us can look different for everyone. Rather than trying to read her mind — talk to her! Get to know her interests and what brings her peace. Is she up for a hike? Does she want peace and quiet? Is she itching to have some free time for an old hobby? Does she want to be flown to Cancun and say “adios” to family for a little while? Does she want to see her kids playing in a safe place all together while she reads a book and sips a coffee? All valid ideas.
Here are some timeless gifts that will always make a mother feel loved and appreciated:
Spending the time with loved ones in fresh air = priceless
#1 Surprise Tickets
One thing we’ve loved so much as our oldest kids have grown up is their ability to think and plan ahead. The other day my second oldest said they wanted to make time to hang out this weekend. They wanted to make plans for the near future so we could have some quality time. Being farm parents means that a lot of our time is divided. They know we have busy seasons and slow seasons but we are always working. I love when they are able to tell me that they need some 1:1 time with just mom. Making plans with your mom is super sweet even if you are just getting stuff done together.
Any mom would be excited to frolic in a field of sunflowers! Buy her tickets or season passes to our Annual Sunflower Festival so she can enjoy every moment of summer. Moms like a good deal too so buy them in advance to get early-bird prices.
#2 A Nice, Home-Cooked Dinner
Shop the market for our Lee Farms Cattle products!
#3 Bakery Treats
If your mom loves anything sweet, we’ve got just the thing! Swing by our market & bakery for freshly baked pies, or donuts. If you’re having a get together for moms, place an order for a special Mother’s Day cake. Your choice of lemon, chocolate, or vanilla cake all paired with a delicious buttercream frosting.
Pick up one of our frozen pies ready for the oven, or grab some of our frozen berries to give your own homemade pie a head start. All our treats are made with love, and honestly they taste just like a hug in dessert form.
