Mother's Day Gift Ideas with Colleen Burns

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and whether you’re looking for a gift for your mother, mom friends, or dropping hints for yourself, I have some ideas.

You can make this Mother’s Day one you’ll never forget by personalizing cards, shirts and even water bottles with the new Cricut Explore 4, the next generation of Cricut’s fan-favorite machine. Now 2x faster, you can cut over 100 materials like vinyl, iron-on or cardstock. It’s the perfect gift to brighten the lives of the moms in your life. You can upload and cut your own designs or choose from over one million images in the Cricut Design Space library. This is my favorite project idea— a self-care box. Fill it with cozy clothes, a candle or oils and beauty products as a gift for a mom who could use some pampering or for yourself. Click here to learn more.

Moms spend so much time on the sidelines. We’re the ultimate cheerleaders, whether it’s on a soccer pitch, baseball field, or court side, so why not be comfortable? I’ve been seeing more and more of these GCI Stowaway portable chairs at sporting events. And there’s good reason. They actually rock, with this unique patented technology. Believe me, sitting is believing. You will not find a more comfortable chair. It’s light but supportive, and packs down so small that it’s easy to keep in my car or store at home in the off season. And for extra convenience, there’s a caddy that can be put on either side for your water bottle and phone. It’s a perfect Mother’s Day gift for yourself! Click here to learn more.

A couple of other quick ideas for Mother’s Day— I think mom’s fall into two camps, those who want to spend the entire day with their kids and those who want a break. There’s no right answer, but for the mom who wants family time: find a new game to play or trail to hike. For the mom who wants a break, whisk away the kids and leave a bathrobe, some bath salts and a nice playlist on the speaker.
