It’s not always easy finding the perfect present. But these tips should help! Happy shopping!

Pay attention. If your child is showing interest in something new, try to find a gift around that theme.

Encourage creativity. Instead of choosing a traditional toy, give them something that will require them to use their imagination.

Choose an activity. Whether it’s an outing or a game, pick something that will encourage you to spend time together.

Let them pick.Giving older kids a gift card and letting them choose something is a fun option, too!

Safety first. No matter what gift you choose, ensure it’s safe and appropriate for the child’s age and maturity level.

We love showering Mom with love on Mother’s Day, but sprinkling little gestures throughout the year will show her how much you care. Here are a few ideas! 

Plan a picnic:
Put together some easy snacks [or Cinnamon Coffee Cake Muffins] into a basket, pack a blanket, and head for the park on a sunny day to spend some quality time together as a family! Make it even more special by leaving the electronics behind.

Spend the day doing a special activity together:
Does mom like to paint? Find a local paint class and sign the two of you up - bonus: you'll both have a memory of day hanging up on the wall! Or has mom mentioned a new movie she'd really like to see? Surprise her with movie passes for the both of you and afterwards, why not head over to your local salon for a little R&R and much deserved mani/pedi!

Take a hike:
Get outside into nature for the day. Pack snacks, bug spray, and sunscreen. Don’t forget your camera! Mom will treasure the snaps from family time.
