Presents they’ll be proud to show off

The Best Mother’s Day Gifts from Kids, According to a Mom of Four (4)

    Sometimes I think my little ones get more excited about Mother’s Day than I do. Picking out Mother’s Day gifts from kids is fun because they’re so proud of what they can dig up. My own children are barely elementary-school-age, so right now the holiday consists of a lot of crafts and homemade presents (little painted flower pots are the cutest). But as they get older, they can have fun browsing for more elevated ideas that are thoughtful but affordable. And hey, if Mom’s lucky, maybe another caregiver will help pad the piggy bank so the kids can spring for a little bit more.

    Whether they go the DIY gift route or get help with their purchase, some things I loved getting include personalized trinkets (sites like Wonderbly make compiling photo books easy), framed artwork and small indulgences that encourage mom to take a beat–which is what she really wants, after all–like a coffee mug dedicated to her a scented candle to remind her she needs her own time out. Pro tip: Drop these smaller presents in a gift basket.

    To help you find the unicorns out there—the budget-friendly but actually totally awesome—Mother’s Day gifts from daughters and sons, we tapped real parents (including this mom of four!) to see what unique gifts they’ve received from their own families.
