8 Things Moms Secretly Want For Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is fast approaching and that means the deadline for coming up with the perfect gift is too. The internet is filled with gift guides and DIY projects to make for mom, but those things are kind of overdone, don’t you think? We here at Mommyish have a pretty good idea of what moms really want, so we put together a convenient little list. Here are eight gifts every mom would secretly enjoy, but is probably too polite to ask for:

1. A trip to grandma’s (for you and the kids)

Tell her mom said hi. Oh, and bring back a plate of whatever you have for brunch.

2. A fancy breakfast (that you and the kids eat while she sleeps in)

You know what’s better than letting the kids make booger pancakes studded with egg shells and presenting them to mom in bed? Pretty much anything. In fact, just get take-out … that you eat at the restaurant … without mom.

3. Tickets to a movie (for you and the kids)

That new remake of the remake of that one super hero movie came out. Supposed to be great family fun. Moms can’t wait to not see that.

4. A day at the park (for you and the kids)

Don’t forget the sunscreen, Honey! Oh, and lunch. And dinner. You’re staying all day, right?

5. A family shopping trip (that you and the kids go on)

If you really want to make her swoon, go grocery shopping. Everyone hates grocery shopping. Oh, and don’t come home with anything from a Kay Jeweler’s commercial if you know what’s good for you.

6. Flowers (delivered while she’s home alone because you’re out with the kids)

Idea: give live flowers, but make one of them fake. You’re allowed to come home when the last one dies. Don’t worry, she’ll start to miss you eventually.

7. Candy (for you and the ki– actually, wait, give me the candy and then leave)

It’s like taking candy from your baby. It’s Mother’s Day, so I’m pretty sure you’re allowed to do that.

8. A night at a hotel (for mom, while you stay home with the kids)

This is the show of appreciation every mom dreams of while she’s feeding babies and getting covered in vomit and poop. A shower, a television, and a bed just for her. Forget everything else. Just get this.
