What Busy Moms Really Want for Mother's Day

In The Blog

It’s almost Mother’s Day, a time to appreciate the Mom who seems to do it all. You might be thinking, what expensive gift could possibly show her how much her hard work means to us? I’m sure she wouldn’t complain about a fancy bouquet or a nice piece of jewelry, but sometimes it’s more about the little things than the grand gestures. If you’re looking to make her day, here are some ideas for what busy Moms really want for Mother’s Day.

Qeepsake Membership

Of course, if she doesn’t have a Qeepsake Membership yet, this is such a good Mother’s Day gift for a busy mom. There’s nothing like the easiest way to capture and cherish the family’s most precious memories. It’s a gift that will save her time and give her peace of mind. Plus, she’ll be able to revisit the family’s milestones — and middlestones in between — over and over again.

Handmade Artwork

It’s true, made with love means more than made perfectly. Arts and crafts, handwritten cards – anything that’s created with Mom in mind and comes from the heart will mean more than you know. This could be a necklace made of pasta noodles, or having the kids draw or paint a family portrait. Whatever the art, make sure to save it in a Artwork Chapter in your Qeepsake app!

DIY Love Coupons

One of the most meaningful things you can do is think of those everyday things Mom does so readily for everyone else, and create DIY “coupons.” Gather up a list of a few activities that can be done for her and write them down, or print them as Qeepsake Photo Cards. The catch? Let her redeem them whenever she wants! This means you have to be ready to wash the car or meal prep at a moment’s notice — and actually do it!

Qeepsake Books

Nothing captures how unique your family is like a photo journal. A Qeepsake Book simplifies things, conveniently creating your book as the entries are added. All you have to do is select the date range you’d like and BAM! You’ve got a gift full of Mom’s most cherished memories with those that mean the most to her.

Low on time? Gift a Qeepsake Story Book — forgo your journal entries and personalize a story with fully customizable templates to create your custom book. Easily doable and still just as meaningful, Qeepsake Story Books are a great alternative for a Mother’s Day gift.

The cover of a Qeepsake Book is shown. A parent and child are looking at the book together, and we see the parent's hand resting on the cover of the book. There is a photo of a child on the cover of the book. He is sitting on a log in the forest with a big smile on his face. He looks about four years old and is wearing a gray sweatshirt and gray sweatpants. There are colorful leaves that have fallen in the background. The text on the book cover reads "Cannon" and "The First 5 Years" right below.
 
No matter how you choose to celebrate Mom, be sure to thank her for all that she does and let her know just how much you appreciate her. After all, she deserves to be reminded every day!
