for the new mom... (by Sydney)
odds are this mama is running on very limited sleep, few too many showers, and whatever food is quick and easy. this mom needs a gift that says she is doing a great job and she deserves a little TLC for herself sometimes too!
gift her...
- a mani/pedi at her favorite nail salon so she feels a little more put together
- a facial from Escape Day Spa
- let her sleep in and bring her breakfast in bed from her favorite place!
- after having a baby, everything fits weird. take her shopping to freshen up her wardrobe at target or the summit or get her a gift card to Shop the Mint or the Pink Tulip!
- have the grandparents babysit and take her out on a day-date. a little shopping and lunch at Luca is hard to beat!
for the mom with multiples... (by Katie)
she is probably running from one practice to the next, carpooling the neighborhood kids, hosting the sleepovers, and doing whatever else is asked of her, all while making it look easy. this mom needs to be recognized for all the many hats she wears, and although she is great at doing it all, she still needs some time for what she enjoys!
gift her...
- pilates gift card at Provision Studio, maybe even a few privates!
- massage from BHAM Wellness Massage
- whoop- this is one of those gifts that I would buy myself, but tell the kids it was a gift from them ;)
- portable iPhone charger
- handwritten card from the kids saying that they tolerate their mama and love me
for the mom with older kids...
she is the one you call for advice, to babysit, or just to vent to. she raised you and has loved you deeply since before you were born. Now, she even loves and spoils your kids so well on top of still taking care of you any way she can. give her the gift of showing her how much you appreciate all her years of devotion and all the sacrifices she's made along the way!
gift her...
- a necklace or bracelet from Holland and Birch
- a bouquet from Wild Things with a handwritten note!
- write her a handwritten card from you and the grandkids, telling her just how loved and appreciated she really is!
