Are you ready for Mother's Day? If you are still scrambling for a gift, don't worry. The gifts below are just what Mom needs.
Save it for later, pin it now!
A Highlighted General Conference Issue
Grab your May Ensign (the General Conference issue) or buy one of those journal editions of General Conference and start reading. As you do so, highlight the passages that stand out to you or make you think of your Mom. Write your notes in the margins and mark it all up. At the end write your testimony and include a note of gratitude to your Mom. Not only have you given your Mom the joy of knowing that you treasure the gospel like her, but you now have even more things to talk about together.
A New Temple Bag
Express your testimony of forever families with a new temple bag for Mom. Plan a date to attend the temple together after you give it to her. Spend time searching for family names then go together to get them done. Talk a selfie together while you are the temple and give your mom a framed copy afterward.
Time
What Moms really want is time with their children (peaceful, happy time). Write her a note, record a message to her, play some games together, or give her an hour of complete attention (put those devices away). One of my favorite ways to give the gift of time together? Heading to Women's Conference or Education Week together. It's time away together while being spiritually uplifted. Buy tickets to the conference for your Mom, Sister, Aunts, and other important women in your life.
Scripture Study
Study the scriptures together whether you are miles apart or in the same house. Find a time each day or week where you can discuss some of the things you have studied. Study Journals give you specific daily assignments and questions to get your conversation started. Try my Motherhood Study Journal for free or check out The Red Headed Hostess Scripture Study Journals, they are always great.
I also recommend gifting a Deseret Bookshelf PLUS subscription- there are a ton of audio and ebooks for your Mom to enjoy all year long so you don't have to worry about picking just one. It's one of my favorite LDS products- my Mom and I recommend things to each other all year long.
Service
Show your love through a service project. Organize the whole event then tell Mom so you can go together. The memories and feelings created together during the service project will be enough. Need some ideas? JustServe.org makes it easy to find a project. OR get the family together to do an act of service for Mom. What is something that Mom really needs? Is there a spot in the kitchen that is always cluttered? Can you clean it up and organized it for her? Are there never enough shelves in her closet? Build her some. Is she always cleaning? Wake up early and do her daily chores for her this weekend then treat her like a queen with this breakfast in bed kit. Whatever service you do, it'll speak volumes to Mom.
