Unwrap Joy – 8 Thoughtful Mother’s Day Gift Ideas That Will Make Her Day

Mother’s Day is such a special occasion because it’s a chance to celebrate the most important woman in your life – your mom. But let’s be real, finding the perfect gift can be a bit of a challenge!

These 8 ideas are just a starting point, so remember to think about what your mom likes and what would make her happy. And don’t forget to add a personal touch to show her how much you care. Whether it’s a heartfelt note or a hand-made card, the most important thing is to express your love and appreciation for the amazing woman who has made a difference in your life.

A Cozy Pair of Pajamas: Who doesn’t love to relax in comfortable pajamas? Especially if your mom is always on the go, she’ll appreciate having a cozy set to lounge in at home. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of slipping into a soft and snuggly pair of pajamas after a long day. Plus, with so many styles and designs available, you can choose a pair that reflects your mom’s personality and preferences. Whether she prefers classic cotton sets or luxurious silk pajamas, there’s a perfect pair out there waiting for her.

A Personalized Photo Album: A photo album filled with pictures of special moments you’ve shared with your mom is a great way to make her feel loved and appreciated. It’s a treasured keepsake that she can flip through and relive those memories for years to come.

A Cooking Class: If your mom is a foodie or just loves to cook, a cooking class is a fun way for her to learn new recipes and techniques. Plus, she can bond with other food enthusiasts and take her skills to the next level.

A Customized Piece of Jewelry: A piece of personalized jewelry, like a necklace with her birthstone or a bracelet with her name on it, is a thoughtful and sentimental gift that she’ll treasure forever.

A Memory Jar: A memory jar is a unique and sentimental gift that your mom will love. Fill it with small items that remind you of her, like ticket stubs, postcards, and other trinkets. She’ll enjoy looking through it and reminiscing about those special moments you’ve shared.

Planting a Tree: A tree planted in honor of your mom is not only a beautiful addition to your backyard, but it’s also a symbol of growth and life. Plus, it’s great for the environment!

A Subscription Box: A subscription box is a gift that keeps on giving. Choose a box tailored to your mom’s interests, like books, beauty products, or snacks, and she’ll receive a monthly surprise that will remind her how much you care.

Personalized Home Decor: Personalizing a home decor item like a throw pillow, framed photo, or piece of wall art is a thoughtful way to add a personal touch to your mom’s home. Every time she sees it, she’ll be reminded of your love and appreciation.

And, let’s not forget that Mother’s Day isn’t just about biological moms. It’s also a chance to celebrate any special woman who has played a maternal role in your life, like your grandma, aunt, or stepmom. Make sure to show them some love too!

Pajamas – Spoiling Mom is what the day is all about and giving her the gift of pajamas shows her that she deserves to relax and pamper herself every day. Here at The Pajama Company, we have so many styles, patterns, and options to choose from you’re sure to find something mom will love. And the best part is when she slips into her wonderful gift every night she’ll be thinking of you!

Potted bulbs

A living plant – Flowers are the number one purchase made on Mother’s Day and but they don’t last and in a week your gift will lose its beauty and be discarded. A live plant can last for years and will be a constant reminder of your thoughtfulness. We love the idea of bulb plants like tulips, daffodils, or hyacinth. They bloom in the pot giving you a gorgeous bouquet and then they can be planted outside where every spring she can enjoy the beautiful blooms all over again.

Gift Basket for Mom (1)

A homemade gift basket. Purchasing a pre-made gift basket can be costly and they don’t always contain items that you would necessarily want to give mom. Instead, build your own with all Mom’s favorites. Get her favorite wine, perfume, some cozy socks, a box of chocolates, a gift card to her favorite store, and anything else that completes the bundle, and deliver it with a handwritten note.

Mother's Day Brunch

Make a special meal. It’s her day to relax and instead of dealing with the crowds at your local eatery, cook up a brunch or dinner full of her favorite foods. You can eat at and visit at home where you’ll have uninterrupted quality time without all the noise and hustle and bustle of eating out. And you won’t have to worry about what may or may not be available as you’ve created a personalized menu just for Mom!

Mom Puzzle (1)

A picture puzzle. Any picture can be turned into a puzzle and once they are put together, they make a great conversation piece. Use a family portrait from years past or take a new one. You can even create a collage image and then turn that into a puzzle. These fun gifts provide hours of entertainment for Mom and if you’re lucky, she may even ask you to help which leads to more quality time together. As an extra bonus, give her a gift certificate for framing the finished product.

Mom Gym (1)

A gym membership. We want Mom around for a long time so making sure she gets her exercise and stays healthy is a great way to assure you will have plenty more Mother’s Days ahead of you. A gym membership doesn’t have to be expensive. You can get one for as low as $10 per month. If you have a local rec. center, check with them too as they generally have great prices and lots of different activities to keep things interesting.

Pottery and wine

A day to be artsy. These days you can find all kinds of places that offer different options to show your creative side. From painting old barn boards to creating a piece of pottery, your town likely has more than one option. And did you know that most of these places serve wine?

These are just 7 ideas to get your wheels turning. Of course, the best gift you can give your Mom is your time, and that doesn’t cost a thing. If you were to ask her what she wants she’ll likely say, “the only thing I want is to spend time with you.” Mother’s Day should be every day for the woman that brought you into this world. Make each day special even if you just send a text telling her you love her.

Happy Mother’s Day to all moms from The Pajama Company!

 

 

Gift ideas for the Mom who has everything

With Mother’s Day quickly approaching it’s time to start looking for the perfect gift. Of course, you could always go with the usual stand-by like a potted plant, a box of chocolates, or a scarf she may or may not wear. But what about a gift for the mom who has everything? We’ve got some unique gift-giving ideas that you may not have thought of.

Flowers

A flower subscription. Flower arrangements are the most common gifts given on Mother’s Day. Although beautiful for several days, they don’t last forever. A flower subscription ensures that a gorgeous bouquet will be delivered to mom’s door every month and acts as a constant reminder of how much you love and appreciate her.

 

Portrait

A custom pet portrait. Does mom have a loyal furry friend that she considers just as much a part of the family as you are? Or maybe she had a cherished pet that has passed away but still holds a special place in her heart. A custom pet portrait is a thoughtful and treasured gift that mom will absolutely love. Look for someone local to do the painting but if you turn up empty, there are tons of online resources for you to choose from.

 

pjsal playfulprintsivoryhappyhourmask

Some not so ‘mom’ pajamas. Show mom a taste of the wild side with a pair of PJ’s she normally wouldn’t buy for herself. Think silky fabrics, bold and fun prints featuring her personality and what she loves. Show your mom that she doesn’t always have to go with the same old style and that it’s ok to let loose sometimes. Top off the gift of pajamas with a bit of pampering for mom. Sleeping in, breakfast in bed, a long bath, a new candle all go a long way to show mom some love.

Blanket

A weighted blanket. The latest trend in the ‘good night’s sleep’ arena is weighted blankets. These are surging in popularity as they have been known to relieve stress and improve sleep. A weighted blanket is a soft fluffy cover weighted with glass beads that you use on your bed. They impart the feeling of being “hugged” which in turn relays a calming effect that is necessary for restful sleep.

Puzzle (1)

A customized puzzle. Jigsaw puzzles are all the rage these days. With people spending more time at home, putting puzzles together is a great stress way to keep the mind active and sharp. A custom puzzle made from any image will become a keepsake that mom can display on her coffee table or have framed to hang on the wall.

Wine

A subscription to a wine of the month club. You can never go wrong with wine, and when it’s delivered right to mom’s house it might just be the most perfect gift ever! A subscription to a wine of the month club will ensure that mom never runs out of the good stuff.  And if you’re lucky, you might just get an invite to join her in sampling the monthly selections.

Online Class

A virtual class. Has mom ever expressed an interest in learning something new? Does she have a creative side that she should explore? It’s never too late to learn something new, and virtual classes are a great way to test the waters. Mom could learn a new language, take an art or cooking class, or even evolve her computer skills. She’ll gain a wealth of knowledge and might find a new hobby that she really loves.

Gift time

The gift of time. The single most precious gift you can give to Mom is your time. Plan a day alone where just the two of you have an all-out adventure doing all the things she loves. Another idea would be to spend a day cleaning her house, doing her laundry, and cooking meals while she relaxes. Of all these ideas, this one would likely be the most appreciated and the best thing is that you can make this an add-on to any other gifts you choose to give.

However you choose to spend Mother’s Day the most important thing is that it’s all about Mom and how special she is!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Unique Ways To Celebrate Mom

This year, with many of us still under ‘stay at home’ orders, we will have to find a different way to celebrate Mother’s Day. Instead of a traditional brunch at a restaurant, or spending the day browsing our favorite shops, we have to get creative in the way we go about pampering the most important woman in our lives.

Fortunately, there are a lot of really great things you can still do to show mom how much you love her, and make sure she has the day she deserves.

Brunch

Brunch – To Go. While many restaurants are still closed to in-house dining, there are lots of them that are offering curbside pickup and special Mother’s Day menus. We love this idea because you don’t have to worry about crowded dining rooms or long wait times. Another bonus is that you don’t have to pick just one restaurant to eat at. Look into what your local establishments are offering and then pick up items from several different places. Bring it all home, and create your own personalized buffet that is tailor-made to your tastes! You’re supporting the small businesses that really need it, and feeding everyone exactly what they want at the same time. Don’t forget your local bakeries for baked goods to round out the meal.

Have a Virtual Family Visit. When you can’t be together physically, the next best thing is an online face-to-face reunion. Make sure in advance that everyone has the right software downloaded so they are ready at the designated call time. A fun idea is to make sure everyone is set with a bottle of champagne (or sparkling juice for the young ones) so you can toast mom! Each attendee can take the opportunity to give a little speech, and when everyone has had their turn, one big “prost” to the woman of the hour! Spend the rest of the time reminiscing and telling stories. There really is nothing better!

Plan Mother’s Day – Part 2. Since you may not have the opportunity to actually spend May 10th with mom, a great idea is to make a promise to do it right once things return to normal. Send her an invitation with the date TBD and some pretty flowers promising to have a special day that’s all about her when you can safely get together.

Mothers_Day2 banner

Buy Her Some Pajamas. Of course we’re partial to pajamas, but who isn’t? With so much time being spent at home, mom might as well be comfy. Pick out an extra special pair of jammies and have them delivered right to her door. You could also send some tea or wine so she can cuddle up and pamper herself on this special day. Don’t know what she’d like? Send her a virtual gift card!

Walk

Take a walk. If you are in the position where you get to actually see your mom on Mother’s Day, why not make it a healthy event? Most parks and walking trails are open, and the fresh air plus Vitamin D are just what the doctor ordered. Put your walking shoes on and take in the scenery.  Spend this special time together catching up, telling stories, and just enjoying each other’s company. Remember, the biggest gift you can give your mom is you!

Crafts

Channelyour inner artist. Creating a personalized gift is a wonderful way to show how much you care. With thousands of ideas right at your fingertips, you’re sure to find something that will get your creative juices flowing.  A quick Pinterest search and a few clicks of the mouse will yield directions for painted flower pots, homemade soy candles, and hand-woven wall hangings- just to name a few. The sky’s the limit on this idea, and with so much time on our hands these days you might even be able to make several gifts!

There are tons of other things you can do to celebrate your mom, and we’re confident you’ll make her special day memorable. Regardless of how you spend it, the most important thing is that this year, more than ever, the most important woman in your life, knows just how amazing she is and how much she means to you!

Have special plans to celebrate Mom this year? We’d love to hear about what your plans are. Post your ideas below, or head over to our Facebook page and share it with us there.

 

Happy Mother’s Day!

Celebrate Mother’s Day: Support Maternal Health

While we’re all browsing the web for ideas for Mother’s Day, this is also a time to consider mothers-to-be. For most women, whether you’re expecting your first or your fourth child, anticipating the arrival of a baby is fraught with anxiety. For women without access to proper maternal care and a safe delivery, it’s a nightmare.

Access to safe, affordable maternal care is a struggle for women globally. Did you know 303,000 women die every year as a result of complications during pregnancy and childbirth? That’s one woman every two minutes. It is also still a struggle for expectant mothers in the United States, where the maternal mortality rate has risen. Although 99% of Maternal Deaths occur in the developing world, In America two women die every day from preventable pregnancy complications as a result of a lack of access. 

The sad reality is that 98% of these maternal deaths are preventable.

As part of the movement to create a global network of women supporting women, Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to honor mothers and women around the world by supporting a cause that, at its core, is close to every person’s heart.

Pass the #OrangeRose.

We a proud to partner with Every Mother Counts (EMC) an organization that is supporting the global community by providing mothers around the world with access to maternal care. Their life-saving grants for pregnant women have impacted over 600,000 lives.

The orange rose is the universal symbol of maternal health. This Mother’s Day, Every Mother Counts is encouraging individuals to ‘Pass the #Orange Rose’ as part of a campaign that raises awareness for maternal health and the preventable causes of death associated with childbearing.

ideas for mother's day, support businesses that give back

Top 5 Causes of Preventable Maternal Death:

1. Lack of access to properly trained staff and fully equipped clinics. This is not just a ‘third world problem.’ Access to maternal health care is disappearing in rural America, according to this recent article in Scientific American. Many women in  rural United States travel more than 90 minutes to deliver their baby. Most who make the trek end up delivering on the side of a road. When a rural hospital budget is cut, obstetrical wards are often the first to go. For example, in 1980, 45 of Alabama’s rural hospitals had obstetrical services. Today, in 2017, only 16 of them offer obstetrical care.

2. Postpartum bleeding. Postpartum bleeding — the result of not all of the placenta being delivered, a tear in the uterus, or poor blood clotting — occurs in up to 18% of births and is the most common maternal morbidity in developed countries.

3. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Hypertensive disorders, the most well-known being preeclampsia (very high blood pressure due as a result of the pregnancy), are commonly spotted and addressed during routine maternal care. However, if a mother is not receiving this vital care and delivers without the assistance of medical professionals, she would have no way to spot the signs. When left untreated, it results in death during pregnancy or within six weeks of delivery.

4. Postpartum infections. Postpartum infections are another difficult one to spot with all of the trauma that a woman’s body goes through after delivery (akin to a major surgery). Also particularly difficult to catch if this was a mother’s first childbirth and she has no baseline for what’s considered feeling “normal” after delivery. The most common infection is puerperal sepsis. Individuals receiving maternal care would have this caught either in the hospital before discharge or by the their first routine checkup the week after delivery and are cured quickly and easily with antibiotics. Without that care, however, the outcome is quite the opposite.

5. Obstructed labor. Though the uterus appears to be contracting normally, during obstructed labor the baby cannot exit the pelvis. Without giving birth under the watchful eye of staff trained in the signs and protocol for obstructed labor or without the ability to transfer the mother to a  hospital where doctors can safely perform a caesarean section, this is another common complication that will result in a preventable maternal death.

Companies That Give Back: Maternal Health Mondays

Here at The Pajama Company, we can’t imagine a life without our mothers. Let’s work together and create a network of individuals and businesses who support the global community of women and ensure that more children can have a chance to make memories with their mom in 2017.

10% of every pajama sale on Maternal Health Monday will go directly to Every Mother Counts to

  • –Provide pre- and postnatal care and education for low-income, at-risk mothers in central Florida
  • –Provide electricity and training health workers to prevent deaths from postpartum hemorrhage in Tanzania
  • –Train midwives and provide emergency transfers from rural clinics to referral hospitals in Haiti
  • –Train activists and lawyers to document maternal health rights violations in India
  • –Provide transportation vouchers to pregnant women, enabling them to get to a clinic for the full course of prenatal care, safe delivery, and follow-up visit in Uganda
  • –Provide 1,000 women with the full range of pregnancy care in Bangladesh
  • –Recruit and train 6 professional Syrian midwives to provide emergency obstetric and trauma-based care inside Syria
  • –Train indigenous students from rural areas to become professional midwives in a university degree program in Guatemala

5 Easy Mother’s Day Ideas to ‘Set the Mood’ for Relaxation

We’re going to let you in on a little secret: it doesn’t matter if you serve your wife French toast or a bowl of stale Cheerios for her Mother’s Day breakfast in bed. What she really wants for Mother’s Day is rest, relaxation, and lot of downtime in her best pajamas.

People create nighttime routines for relaxation: small things like sliding on your favorite slippers, turning down the lights, wearing the most comfortable pajamas, turning off your phone, or opening a good book are all popular bedtime rituals. These healthy bedtime habits are the key to getting a good night’s sleep.

This Mother’s Day weekend ‘set the mood’ for R&R by showing her that you appreciate everything she does for your family. The easiest way to show your gratitude is by taking on some of the tasks she does regularly, freeing up time for her to decompress.

Here are simple ways to show appreciation will have a big impact on Mother’s Day, or any day of the week:

1. Give mom time to unwind.

Order pizza on Sunday night. Put a movie on for the kids and take charge of cleaning up after dinner. Suggest she sneak away to take a long bath, read a book, and enjoy some quiet time to herself while you get the kids ready for bed. Then let her rest, uninterrupted.

2. Give mom a morning to sleep in.

Keep the kids from bombarding her with their homemade cards at 5am on Mother’s Day morning. Explain that she’ll be really excited to see them after she’s had a good night’s sleep, then suggest she lounge in bed for as long as she’d like. For moms with young children, simply taking a shower alone is a luxury. When you hear her stirring, quietly knock and ask if she’d like coffee and a little something to eat (prepare those stale Cheerios!).

Easy Mother's Day Idea: Give mom me-time.

Take the kids out of the house and let her enjoy a quiet Sunday in her pajamas.

3. Give mom some space.

Another way to show her you understand her needs is by giving her some space on Mother’s Day. Take the kids out of the house and let her enjoy a quiet Sunday morning leisurely sipping coffee in her softest bathrobe without a schedule or agenda.

4. Give mom family time without the headache.

If you and your wife need some time together as a family, plan all the details yourself and keep it low-key. Go out to breakfast or see a movie, but when your toddler gets fussy or your 5-year old starts to whine, be the one to take the reins so she can finish her waffle in peace and drink her coffee while it’s hot.

5. Give mom time together.

Not everyone can spring on a couple’s massage or weekend retreat at a bed & breakfast. Show her you care by picking up a nice bottle of wine and carving out some time for the two of you. After you’ve put the kids to bed, pour her a glass and tell her how much you appreciate what she does every day. Be specific: what is it that she does regularly that you might be taking for granted? What does she do to make things easier for you and the rest of the family? There’s no need for a Hallmark card or a $600 spa treatment if you’re being sincere.

These ideas for Mother’s Day are small gestures of appreciation for your partner. The holiday is about acknowledging the mothers in your life. Nothing says “I see that you work hard” like offering someone time off and telling them how much they deserve it.
