Mother's Day Gift Ideas for Single Moms

Posted on May 7, 2009 by J. Benjamin Stevens

If you have a friend or family member that is a single mother, you may want to consider one of the following gift ideas for her. Most of these gifts are free, and I'm sure that they would be well received and much appreciated by her:

  • A weekend of baby-sitting. Single moms often have very little “me” time. You can get creative and make your own baby-sitting coupon and put it in a card.
  • Offer to take some pictures of your friend with her little one, and create a photo collage. It’s nice to have someone capture some of those everyday moments.
  • A manicure and pedicure gift certificate. (Again, offer to baby-sit so she doesn’t have to take her kids to the salon)
  • Get a calendar and fill it with free summer activities for kids happening in her area. Every time that mom is short of ideas she can reach for the calendar.
  • A CD or downloads of inspirational songs that celebrate motherhood.
  • Offer to help her organize something like homework, bills, or even junk mail. She might appreciate having someone she trusts help her purge.
  • Cook a few family size meals and put them in her freezer.
