You've got less than two weeks to get your Mother's Day gift sorted out. I'm here to help you out this year. If your Mom is anything like mines, it gets harder and harder to impress her every year. I've resorted to becoming really creative and looking for gifts that aren't the obvious ones. A gift that shows that I know what she likes, but are also really unique and fun. Gifts I know won't sit on a shelf collecting dust. The gifts ideas I'm sharing this year perfect for the Nerdy or Crafty Mom! She might be a little of both (I know I am), so take full advantage of these ideas and consider a few items for a gift. Best yet, all of these recommendations are available on Amazon, so you can order and have them delivered in plenty of time!

If your mom loves books or audiobooks and enjoys domestic suspense titles, I recommend Pretty Little Wife by Darby Kane! We recently covered it on the podcast, and let me tell you, we LOVED it! It's our first 5/5 rating in 2021. This smart and well put together domestic suspense will surely entertain! She'll enjoy the ride and want to even share this one with her bookish friends!
Surprise her even more by pairing this with a Kindle! If she enjoys audio performances, a good choice is a full cast audiobook production. I recommend No 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency: BBC Radio Casebook. Fancy up this gift by pairing it with some wireless headphones for easy listening. If your Mom is into games and has a fun laid back personality, she will love this! My sisters and I played with our Mom, and no lie, she WON!!! She had a blast. Spend a little more time with Mom this Mother's Day. Grab your siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, or whomever is in your bubble and let the games begin! Make this gift even more fun by also bringing Mom a bottle of her favorite wine and a decanter. |
From bookish t-shirts to mugs with tons of nerd worthy themes, a lot of options are available. I personally enjoy a good snarky t-shirt! My mom gets a kick out of them She never buys one for herself, but she absolutely wear them. ;)

If your mom likes painting, drawing, coloring, creating art, sewing, etc, your mom is the Crafty Mom! Check out these ideas for her.

Pick up an adult coloring book! It will provide weeks of relaxation. I find that coloring while listening to an audiobook or podcast is the perfect combo. Add a delicious cup of coffee, a cocktail or a glass of wine while coloring and it's a fabulous time. I could spend hours doing this!
I especially like the whimsical pages that Johanna Basford features in her coloring books. Her books also use amazing paper that do well with virtually any type of marker or coloring pencil. |
Level up this gift by pairing it with some coloring pencils.

In the same realm as a coloring book, diamond panting is a very fun and addictive craft! What's diamond painting? Think paint by numbers, except it's placing round or square resin or rhinestone drills onto a pre-glued canvas. So instead of paint, you have a sparkly and faceted work of art to hang on your wall. Also perfect for creating while also listening to music, audiobooks, or podcasts. You'll blink and hours will have passed by. |

There are so many designs available, from landscapes and flowers to Star Wars, you're sure to find something that's her style. Make this gift even more compete by including a starter kit to assist her with her diamond painting journey.
