7 Unique Birthday Gifts for Mom Who Has Everything

Moms are special to us, and when it comes to gift giving for mom, we all want to make her extra happy.

 

It can be soooo hard to know what to get her.  Even when you hint around for ideas, it’s not uncommon to hear her say, “I already have everything I want!” or “I just want to spend time with my family.“   

 

While these sentiments may be true, they’re not particularly helpful when you’re in need of a gift!

 

The next time you’re stuck and need a gift idea for that very special lady you call Mom, consider one of these.  Each one is an unexpected surprise and might just make you mom’s favorite!

 

Birthday Idea for Mom: Redecorate a Room in Her Home

Perfect for moms who have been wanting a change in her home, without buying a new one!

Perfect from daughters who want to help mom enjoy her surroundings even more.

 

Has mom talked about hating a room in her house or wanting to freshen up a space at home?

 

Treat her to the gift of redecoration!

 

It can be as simple as giving her a gift card to Home Goods with a note that reads, “Get some happy pillows that will make the living room sofa smile!” 

 

You could make her birthday extra happy by offering to join her for the shopping and do lunch as well.

 

Another birthday idea for mom is to gift her an online design service.  There are many companies including Space Joy and Modsy who help people redecorate their homes without ever leaving their house.  

 

Though each service works bit differently, the steps are pretty similar. Mom (or you!) would upload photos of the space to be redecorated and indicate design requirements and style preferences using provided prompts (“Does this room need to be kid-friendly?”).

 

Using the user-provided information, the company provides a 3D picture of what the redecorated room could look like as well as a list of products for purchase.

 

Mom Birthday Gift: Help Her Unleash Her Creativity

Perfect gift for moms who have a creative side or enjoy trying new things.

Perfect gift from daughters who want to help mom find a fun new hobby.

 

If mom is a little more artistically inclined, you might want to gift her an art class.

 

Local artists or community colleges will often have art classes that are aimed at bringing out a student’s creativity.  Focusing on a few simple ideas and techniques, they can get even the beginner painter well on their way to a masterpiece.

 

Even better, Mom will be able to show off her artwork when she’s done and have you to thank for it!

 

Giving mom art classes may also help her to connect with her grandchildren. Depending on ages and interests, Grandma could teach the kids what she learned in her Watercolor Painting 101 class.

  

Birthday Gift for Mom: Help Her Get Organized Easily 

Perfect to give moms who need a hand getting their clutter under control.

Perfect gift from daughters who think that cleaning out Mom’s garage is noooo fun!

 

If your mom has accumulated years of clutter and can’t bear the thought of cleaning out and sorting things, giving her the services of a personal organizer may be the perfect gift.

 

Professional organizers can be hired to help organize a specific area, such as a garage or a pantry, or an entire house.  As impartial third parties, they are in a unique position to counsel your mom about what is truly worth keeping and what should be discarded.

In some areas, professional organizers are still making house calls. Don’t let that stop you though as there are a myriad of online services as well that can help her purge her unwanted items and rearrange everything else in a neat and tidy fahsion.
 

Mom will love having a newly organized space and have you to thank for it! 

 

Another added benefit?  If you gift her this service, you won’t be the one who is trying to convince her it’s okay to purge a decade’s worth of old Reader’s Digests.

Be sure to include a note in the birthday card that acknowledges all she’s done for others throughout the years—the thousands of meals, the endless carpools she drove, the times she helped you move from house to another.
