Mother’s day gift ideas that will make mom’s day!
JBL Flip 4 waterproof, wireless speaker
You know how much I loved the JBL Clip which I featured in my Teacher Appreciation Gift Guide? Well… upgrade that one for the moms in your life with JBL’s Flip4. Their Flip series speakers are award-winning, and here’s why:
- waterproof – yes, you CAN go swimming with this speaker! It will play underwater even (I mean, if you manage to get some pool time, being a mom and all!). More importantly, you don’t have to worry about the baby knocking your speaker into the kiddie pool!
- 12 hours of wireless listening – stream through up to three devices (smartphones, or tablets) for pretty much your whole day!
- connection – link up (connect) your JBL Flip 4 to over 100 other JBL speakers with JBL Connect+. What a very cool sound system you could create for yourself. You know how moms are always running from room to room in the house? You can just stick a speaker in each room and you’ll still hear your music or podcasts loud and clear no matter where you go!
- hands free phone calls – yes, you can take your phone calls on this speaker, too (just, maybe, not while it’s also connected to those 100 other speakers?). Chat on the phone while changing the baby, prepping dinner, or doing the million other things you need to do!

Every Mother’s Day with my mom has been memorable.
We have a tradition of going out for ice cream on Mother’s day, so last year was really special because we did that.
I will always remember my first Mother’s Day as a new mom
I lost my mom when I was only 11. I remember that our tradition was to get the whole family together and we all went out to brunch at this truck stop diner a few towns over. It was great to get together with the grandmas and the great grandmas!
I remember being taken out for Mother’s Day. It was me, my husband and my daughter and then we went home to watch movies. Low key but wonderful
I remember the final Mother’s Day with my mom. I gave her a special handmade necklace with sands from the beaches of Waikiki.
We gave my Mom a really nice present.
Last year my son gave me a ring with his birthstone for Mother’s Day. Such a beautiful and precious gift.
On Mother’s Day one year my daughter got up early and made me a surprise card.
My first Mother’s Day as a mom was the most memorable one for me.
A Mother’s Day I remember is 1997 when I was hit by a car.
Last year I took my kids camping for mother’s day. It was nice.
I love making my mom something for mothers day. like a painting or some arts and craft project for her. That way she can remember it and display it at the house. I still do it til this day. I also make breakfast for her.
one mothers day my daughter made me a book with her drawings in it of all the books i’d read to her as a child. 🙂 it was so sweet. she made me breakfast in bed too 🙂
When me and the kids took my wife to a hotel for the weekend..
My fondest memory of Mather’s Day was in May of 1989 since it was the last Mother’s Day I shared with my Mother who died of cancer the next June.
The last time I am home. I flew home and surprised my mom. She was so happy.
I remember the first mother’s day where I got breakfast in bed.
It had to be my first,will never forget it i had just had my son and we went to eat and had a nice day
My first Mother’s Day being a mom was just amazing
I have only had one Mothers Day so far. I spent it with my husband! I hope to have more good ones to come!
Each oone of my kids gave me a flowering crab apple and every year around mother’s day they are in full bloom
A memorable Mothers Day was last year when I took Mom out for a fantastic dinner.
I remember my first Mother’s Day — my daughter was born on Mother’s Day!
I remember when the kids made breakfast (and a mess!) and sang “Happy Mother’s Day” to the tune of “Happy Birthday”. So funny and cute I wish I’d recorded it!
One year my kids made hand print plaster molds. So sweet!
a day of fishing with mom..she loved to fish
One of my favorites was when my daughter was in high school and made me a handmade quilt
My very first Mother’s Day with my son and it was the first day he actually said Mama! It made my day and it’s one I will never, ever forget!
Mom went to the spa and then we had dinner together.
I remember my first Mother’s Day as a mom. My mom bought me flowers from my son and the card said thank you for bringing me into the world. That really made my day.
I remember a Mother’s Day 12 years ago when I went to dinner with my daughter and grandkids. It was my last Mother’s Day with my daughter who passed away tragically the next year right before Mother’s Day.
I don’t have any one particular Mother’s Day memory but rather all when I was in elementary. We would always make our mom’s something in school and I loved “surprising” my mom with it. She always knew we were doing something and she always kept everything us kids made for her.
One I will always remember is when my daughter and son, at 4 and 5 yrs old, picked out a leaded glass hummingbird for me. They already knew what I loved!
The Mother’s Day I remember most was last year. It was my first Mother’s day as a mom and my husband got me flowers!
Every year for Mother’s Day we would go to our Beaux Arts Fair to buy something for my mom (and then me!) from a local artisan. The whole family looked forward to this day every year.
My first mother’s day with my baby.
Mother’s day 2010, I had a one year old little girl and was VERY pregnant with baby number two. We headed to the hospital at 11 Mother’s Day night, and my son was born just a couple hours later!
With I was very little, maybe 7 or 8 years old, I lived in Chickamauga, Ga. My sister and I walked down the roads picking up soda bottles. We sold them to a nearby store. I think we got a dollar for our bottles. We then walked to the Five And Dime store. We found a bright purple cardboard walled that we could afford. I thought it was the prettiest shade of purple I had ever seen. We wrapped it in Comic papers from the newspaper for Mothers Day. Mother acted like it was the most beautiful thing that she had ever gotten.
Wallet not walled.
Oh…I remember one many years ago…I got bags of rocks for under our deck! LOL…we did want to get some…but not for Mothers day! Haha…we still laugh about it!
My favorite was when my Mom celebrating Mother’s Day for the first time as a grandmother.
I will always remember my first Mother’s Day. My daughter was a premie and was in the hospital for 2 1/2 month. When I went to visit on Mother’s Day, there was a photo of her on her isolet that said “Happy First Mother’s Day”.
I remember cooking my mom breakfast in bed… and her having to clean up the kitchen afterwards 😉
My first Mother’s Day was a very memorable one for me. My hubby got me a beautiful charm engraved with my daughter’s picture. He got me another one 4 years later when we had our second daughter. They are very important to me and never come off of my neck.
When I was young my Dad and I would make my mom grilled lobster with a baked potato and salad for mother’s day
Growing up a mother’s day I remember is planting a beautiful flower garden with my dad.
I remember the first Mother’s Day present I received from my daughter. It was the best and I cried so much. A small vase she painted blue with some fried flowers in it. She painted flowers on the outside of the vase.

I remember about the mother day I surprised my mom with roses
i remember when I was in 3rd grade my teacher asked us to bring in broken crayons. Our class made candles that were made in a heart shape. I always thought that my candle was so pretty. I’m pretty sure that my mom loved it. Mom still tells me that homemade gifts are the best.
I love Mother’s Day! I remember 2 years ago I got to shop all day by myself, drank margaritas and ate tacos. Got texts from my co-workers saying Happy Mother’s Day. Gifts, I even got a rose from a stranger in the mall. It was the sweetest day ever.
I remember one year my older sister and I made a necklace for mom using seashells we collected along the beach. My mom used to say that gifts that are handmade we’re the best gifts, as it comes from the heart. Happy Mothers Day to all the moms.
The first Mother’s Day I can remember giving my mom a gift 🙂
(I have no kids myself)
My children made me clay pots in school , I still have them
I remember getting a handmade bowl from my 5 year old son. The look on his face, The pride. He felt.
I remember making breakfast in bed for my mom as a little kid.
giving birth to my son right around mother’s day made it a great mother’s day
Not a particular day but an interesting tradition: When I was a kid in the 60’s, all the girls and ladies at my grandmother’s church wore flowers pinned to our dresses on Mother’s Day–red for those whose Mothers were still alive; white for those whose Mothers had passed on. Of course all the older ladies like my grandmother wore white. I have always wondered whether that tradition was just my grandmother’s church or whether it was more common.
I love this tradition! I’m going to pass it along to my church!
My unique gift was a case of gourmet porkchops!
All my Mother’s Day have been special
Flowers
My first Mother’s Day was last year, in the NICU. My baby is now 13 months old and much healthier. I am looking forward to spending the day outside with him this year!
I remember my first Mothers Day 25 years ago! Just love being a MOM!
I remember one Mother’s Day when I was a kid. In school, we made cookies out of clay and painted them. I made a heart with pink frosting and rainbow sprinkles. I think it looked pretty darned good!
Two years I celebrated my first mother’s day/
Mom’s day is very special in our household, one of our favorites!
The first Mothers day after my first son was born was very memorable. My husband had cooked/BBQ for all the mom’s in the family. My Mom, Mother in law and myself, including my Dad and Father in law. He took care of everything. Went shopping, made side dishes and even cleaned up. He really went all out to make it a special day to remember.
my happiest one was the day my mom and kids and grandkids went to church with me and we all three won a flower basket,,my mom gots oldest mom,,my daughter got youngest mom and i won Mom with the most kids/grandkids there with me
I remember last year’s mother’s day, we had a great big crawfish boil for our neighborhood mothers.
