Becoming a mother is an amazing experience. It completely changes your life. You all of a sudden are thrown into the hardest yet most joyous world and the only other people who understand are other moms. Isn’t it amazing that there is a whole day to celebrate all of the moms? That’s why I decided to put together an easy and fun gift idea for some of my mom friends for Mother’s Day. Because it’s important to recognize that all moms are amazing work incredibly hard to take care of their children and deserve to be celebrated.

Here’s all you do:

(1) Pick out a nice clear cup. I went with plastic ones that are insulated and sweat free and with lids. Since my mom friends have toddlers these are the perfect cups for having water in around the house because we all know how toddlers like to knock over cups so anything glass or without a lid was out.

(2) Pick out a couple nice pampering items. I’m talking lib balm, lipstick, nail polish, face masks, bath bombs, bath salts, perfume… anything small and little that will fit in the cup that you know that mom will love.

(3) Wrap up in a nice bag with pretty tissue paper. I’m all about the nice finishing touches when it comes to gifting. These American Greetings bags and tissue paper are just perfect for Mother’s Day.

(4) Find the perfect card to go with it. Because every mom has a different personality find the card to match! And because each one of my moms friends is so unique, I had to pick out very different cards to perfectly match their personalities. Thank goodness for the amazing selection of American Greetings Mother’s Day cards at Walmart! One is more sentimental so I found a pretty and sweet card for her, where the other one is more funny so I went with the “if mama’s cray-cray, everyone’s cray-cray” card that I just love.

Of course on Mother’s Day I’m also going to be celebrating my own mother and mother-in-law, but this year I really wanted to go outside of just that. My mom friends are some of the most amazing moms I know too. Each one of those ladies puts their kids first and does whatever is possible to give their kids an amazing childhood. Having young children is a really trying phase of life. Several of my friends are juggling new babies alongside their toddlers while several just have toddlers. There are days where those kids just cry and scream all day and for stay at home moms those are very long days. I’m so glad that I’m able to do something to show a couple of them how special they are.  Right now at Walmart when you spend $5 on any American Greetings product you can save $2 with this coupon live 4/25!
