I’m A Mom And Here Are 45 Items I Have On My Wishlist For Mother’s Day This Year
Need some ideas for what links to send your husband? Or perhaps, you’re still searching for the perfect gift for your own mom or MIL. In any case, we’ve got you covered.
As a mom of two little ones, I can tell you that what I really want for Mother’s Day this year (aside from the luxury of sleeping in, of course) is a gift that will genuinely add value to my life – whether that’s by making it more efficient or by boosting my confidence.
Maybe I’m just not a flowers kind of girl. Although I think they’re beautiful and I’ll buy them for myself from Trader Joe’s once a month or so to brighten up my home, I can’t justify the overpriced bouquets from professional florists. Why pay $200 to get a bouquet that’s going to die within a week when I could have a timeless pair of Mary Janes that will last me a lifetime? So, since I’m married and, technically speaking, my husband’s money is also my money, I have made this distinction pretty well known. That means, though, when it’s time to “surprise” me with a gift for a special occasion like my birthday or Mother’s Day, he’s pretty much clueless as to what he should get me that I’ll genuinely cherish.
If, like me, you’ve made a habit of sending your husband direct links to gift ideas you like instead of leaving him guessing, you’re probably scratching your head around this time of year, thinking, “What do I even want?” If you haven’t been keeping a list (for me, screenshots are key), then my own personal list may just give you a few ideas! From super affordable parenting books I have on my TBR list to some high-end swimsuits that are no more than a pipedream, here is everything I’m eyeing for Mother’s Day this year!
