Local Gifts Mom will Love!
We believe that Mom should be celebrated and appreciated each day. That being said, Mother’s day is an opportunity to shower mom with extra love. How do you find the perfect way to celebrate the woman that deserves the world? We’ve put together a few ideas for you!
Memories for any Mom…
Gift mom the experience of a family photoshoot that includes prints. A gift she can cherish for many years to come. She will be overjoyed to hang photos of these sweet memories in your home. Farmhouse Photography of North Chelmsford offers creative mini shoots and more. Visit her website to discover her beautiful portfolio. For new and soon-to-be mamas, a shoot with the award-winning, incredibly talented photographer, Polina Kuklina would be the sweetest surprise. Her beautiful studio is located in Westford, MA.
For the Active Mama…
Does your mother enjoy fitness classes? Outdoor excursions? Gift her a day out in nature - go for a hike in the woods or take a drive to walk the Marginal Way and treat her to lunch at Jackie’s Too, located in Perkins Cove, ME. Gift her a year’s worth of wellness by subscribing to Yoga With Chuck Online’s platform where she will have access to over 130 recorded sessions. Explore Chuck’s Other services for more ideas here.
For the Mom who loves to be pampered…
No one deserves a day at the spa more than a hard working Mom. Treat her to a massage from Therapeutic Sense Massage Therapy . You could contact her hair stylist and schedule her a day of pampering: hair, brows, lashes, nails, a facial...Whatever you think is best for YOUR mom. If she loves make-up, gift her organic beauty products from Aisling Organics a local business based in Salem, NH.
So she loves to garden…
How excited would she be, if she were to walk into the backyard to see beautiful raised garden boxes? Fresh Start Food Gardens can make this a reality! If you’re looking to gift her something that she can incorporate into her existing garden - Fat Moon Mushrooms offers kits to grow mushrooms. They also offer cooking guidance and more. You can also find succulent kits and other plant related items at the Manchester Craft Market in the Mall of NH.
Step up your gift game - shop handmade, shop local!
This applies to just about any gift - there’s something extra special about handmade gifts. They’re usually one of a kind and they’re always made with love.
If you’re not crafty yourself - try supporting your local makers and artisans. If Mom needs a new mug, consider purchasing from a local artist like Merrybell Pottery before you grab one from Target. Online platforms like Facebook and Etsy make it easy to shop small. Does mom love Tea? Grab a gift set from 27Teas - A mama-owned local business, dedicated to producing organic, high quality tea with a strong commitment to sustainability and giving back. If Mom loves sweets, place an order from a local bakery or send her a sweet surprise via mail from Goodie’s Homemade. Skip the 1-800-Flowers and visit your local florist. Does Mom love candles? She will not be dissapointed with these locally made, hand-poured soy candles from Camp Candles or Wickedly Scentful. If you plan a trip to a store like the Manchester Craft Market, you could easily create an entire gift basket of locally made goods that Mom will love.
The best present is your presence.
Everyone knows that what Mom really wants is to spend quality time with the people she loves.
The most important gift you can give your mom is YOU and your love. Tell her you love her, give her a big hug, take the time to enjoy and celebrate the woman who brought you into this world. Do the things she asked you to do and do the things she hasn’t asked you to help with yet. Make her breakfast in bed and let her rest. It’s easy to celebrate Mom - she’s going to love whatever you give her simply because it’s from you.
