Mother’s Day is coming…really soon!! It is time to order what you need for the special people in your life {or forward this email for suggestions 😉 }

Meaningful Mother's Day Gifts @ The Encouraging Home

Moms like pretty things. Sure, we can all use practical things, but pretty things and things that improve our life are always nice.

I will share some of my favorite things with you today:

Coupon Book:

Make a special booklet or individual coupons for things you can do for your Mom ~ take her out to eat, grocery shop for her, clean a room for her, help with her garden…do things she may want done but doesn’t feel like doing them or have the time to do. Moms never get too old for coupon books. 🙂

Special Things List:

A special card with a handwritten note and maybe a list of why your Mom is special to you would mean the world to your mom or special lady in your life. It would be a true keepsake.

Journal:

I like a pretty journal. Keeping a journal is a nice way to record what is going on in your life and family. It is also a good way to look back at the blessings in your life.

Jewelry:

All women like jewelry. It is even more special with a message and from a special person. I like these necklaces and sets from DaySpring:

Everything Beautiful Necklace and Mug Set

I Am Found

Books:

I love to give and get books! Although my reading time is not as much as it used to be. Right now, there is a neat way to get lots of ebooks and resources very cheaply. You can even share with several people! There are books on homemaking, parenting, education, holidays, health and fitness, budgeting, cooking, cleaning, organizing and more. Very cool gift!!

Go here to read what is included in the Ultimate Homemaking eBook Bundle.  Enjoy the picture below about all the ebooks included. {Bundle sale is over, but you can still get the individual books} .

Another way to encourage a mom of any age is with this new book. Don’t we all feel desperate at times? It includes a tea cup too!  Check out Desperate and Everyday Joy ~ Book & Tea Cup Set.

Outside Things:

Does your mom like the outside? Is there a special place she likes to sit and enjoy creation? I like to add neat little yard ornaments in my special place that my son built for me ~ my peaceful place, especially when the busyness of the day on the farm settles down.

Does your mom enjoy birds?  I love this bird house and want one:

Dry Body Brushing is a way to stay healthy, pump the lymphatic system and help tighten the skin. Plus it makes you feel really good.

Aprons:

I love a pretty apron and have a collection hanging in my kitchen. It is nice to keep your clothes clean, but it is something more…it brings back memories of days long ago, when everyone wore aprons. I still have the special apron Mom made me when I was little and I would wear it when I helped her.

    I have really been wanting to get into oils and have been reading about them for months. I have type 2 diabetes and am not really able to afford them right now. I had our 2nd child last June and have not worked since that time. Thank you for offering these!
