Instant Pot DUO60 6 Qt 7-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Steamer, Sauté, Yogurt Maker and Warmer

Have you jumped in on the Instant Pot craze yet? I am slowly getting there, my friends and they are truly amazing appliances. They have so many features and can save you so much time in the kitchen. My favorite thing to make (by far!) are mashed potatoes. Seriously, so easy and they turn out so well. My friend Mel at Mel’s Kitchen Cafe has some great Instant Pot recipe, see them by clicking HERE.

Assorted Design Certified International International Large Bowl Set. (For cereal, pasta, soup, etc.)
I bought a set of these fun bowls at Costco this past winter (not sure if they are still in stock there, but you can find them on Amazon at the link above). Oh, my goodness, we have loved them. They are light weight, colorful, hold the perfect amount of soup, cereal, etc. My kids love them because they don’t get overly hot in the microwave. They would make a great mothers day gift. Everyone can use more bowl, right?


Immersion Hand Blender

This immersion blender is handy for so many things. I use mine to blend up salad dressings, stewed tomatoes, soup, smoothies, etc. It’s so much easier to wash than an entire blender. Love it!

 


Pioneer Woman Bake Ware

Are these stoneware pans not the cutest? I love all of the Pioneer Woman Dishes, and especially these!

 


Pioneer Woman Batter Bowl 

This better bowl is another favorite. So adorable and perfect for making pancakes, biscuits, muffins, etc. Also, the cute factor is definitely high.

Handbag Purse Organizer, with 13 pockets

To say I love this purse organizer would be a grand understatement. It is light weight, has a ton of pockets and fits nicely inside a medium sized purse (you can buy it in several different sizes). I load it full of all kinds of things Mom’s need handy such as… Excedrin for Migraine ;), gum, band-aids, headphones,  lipstick, lotion, pens, hand sanitizer, dental floss, etc. I love it because it keeps everything organized so the inside of my purse doesn’t look like a war zone. Also, when I want to change purses I just switch it from one purse to the other. Precious cargo transferred in just a second or two. Love it.

Juicy Bath Co. Lotion and Body Souffle
and Body Lotion

A dear friend gave me this lotion/body souffle set for my birthday last year and man, do I love it. The scent is super fresh and fabulous.

 


Wooden Serving Bowl

I love a good Wooden Salad Bowl. This one is sturdy and deep, making it perfect to take a long to a party. And it looks so pretty…

 


Soap Dispensing Scrubber Brush

While this scrub brush might seem Overly Practical in the gift giving department it is never the less Ah-mazing and makes dish doing so much better. It holds dish soap right in the handle. With a press of a button the soup leaks out into the brush (or sponge) and onto whatever dish you are cleaning. It’s perfect to use when there are just a few dishes to wash and you don’t want to run a whole sink of soapy water. Love it!


Bronze Family Tree Frame with 6 Hanging Picture Frames

Isn’t this frame adorable! I love the idea of the photos hanging on a “family tree”. I recently attended a wedding reception where the couple had gathered wedding pictures from their parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and even great-great-grandparents. They framed each one individually and hung them in a tree that was growing in the yard where the reception was being held. It was amazing! It would be fun to use this little tree in the same way, perhaps hanging wedding photos of your mother’s posterity. It would also be great stocked with pictures of grandkids, children, siblings, etc. Load this baby up with whatever your Mom would love. (Or buy it for yourself and put your favorite family pictures in it).


Wooden Family Birthday Plaque

Several years ago I made a fun Family Birthday sign for my Mom so she could keep track of all of her children and grandchildren’s birthdays, all in one spot. She loves it. This sign I found on Amazon would work in much the same way. Great for Mom’s and Grandma’s with an abundance of posterity to keep track of.

Have missed my mom for 10 years- I still want to call her when there are things she should know- trips planned, recitals, ball games, family gatherings, deaths etc.

My mom was my best friend. She was extremely supportive through whatever stage of motherhood I was in. I could tell her everything.

What a wonderful list! I got my mom a gift from @sassy_sawdust_designs….a message from my dad who passed away 2 years ago in his handwriting. It’s so wonderful to see handwriting from someone who is gone. Thanks for this list Jamie!

I love that my mom is one of the most giving people I know. Her health has been bad recently, but she still reaches out to each of her children and grandchildren to do everything she can. ??

All these gift ideas are wonderful! My mother and I may not get along all the time, but the thing I admire the most (ha and is our biggest struggle) is her ability to not let people walk all over her. She is stronger than most people give her credit for, and I really admire that and hope to emulate that some day. Happy Mother’s Day!

My mother is my best friend. Shocking to some but people who have been through things with their mom know what I mean. Growing up I wasn’t always the best behaved child and it wasn’t until the past couple of years that my mother and I have bonded the way we are now. My mom is the person I can tell anything to and not be judged. She is always there for me when I need her and even when I think I don’t. I am so grateful that God has given me the opportunity to grow this new relationship with my mom and I don’t know what I would do or where I would be without her. I actually found this page by accident but I am grateful for your awesome list as I am trying to figure out what to get my mother.

My mother always had time for her children and was willing to teach us or find a way for us to learn anything we had our hearts set on, even when we didn’t have much.

My mom always, always takes time to listen to me. She is always there whenever I need her and since I am now a mom, I treasure that so much!

My grandmother, for all the time she spent teaching me in her own quiet way about the Lord, singing with a merry heart, always serving to keep your joy ever present in your heart and the importance of family in our daily life. I miss her so much! But I try my best to live by her example.

I lost my bio mom in a fire accident when I was 3 years old. I tried to save her but couldn’t. I was left with severe 4 degree scars. My adopted mother was emotional abusive. I am very grateful to her for giving me another chance in life regardless of any emotional turmoil. Life is wonderful and precious. These scars symbolizes mourning, aches and unconditional love. They are the reminder of the heartaches I had to face growing up but also the love my bio mom had for me. Reminding me that she was always there to wipe my tears and love me through my deep dark moments journey alone even though she wasn’t physically there. I easily could’ve turned to the dark side. But I believe my bio mom was guiding, protecting and encouraging me. I am so grateful for all Mom out there that are positive in there kids life. Always have a grateful heart and love those close to you. You never know when there last breath is. Enjoy your Mother’s. Be kind to those who are unkind, they are usually the one that are going through hard times. We can heal by just being kind. Happy Mother’s day to all the mother!

Great ideas for Mother’s Day. I’ll have to show my husband your website maybe he’ll get some ideas with some suggestive oh that’s cute I like that.?

The comment I’d like to make about my mom is something she said once that I’ll never forget. She wasn’t one to heap praise so when she did praise you, you knew she was serious. She told me that she thought I was a good mom. That has stayed with me many year and encouraged me when I felt low. I don’t do instagram so I can’t tag her, but I think my daughter Sonya Ogle is a great mom! Happy Mother’s Day to all!
