For the Travel enthusiast —
We all have travel destinations on our bucket list. Newsflash: English is not the dominant language in most corners of the world. If you’re buying a gift for Mom and she is set on jet-setting in 2020, send her off with a gift that will go a long way in a foreign land.

And right now Babbel is offering a discount on the 24-month subscription, for a total of $37 in savings. Hopefully, your mom will like this gift so much that she will take you with her.
For the binge-watcher —
Netflix has been victorious in the streaming wars for years, but now with Disney+ on the scene, there’s a new serious contender battling for the attention of millions of viewers. Disney+ is the exclusive streaming home of a significant chunk of Disney’s massive archive of content. This can be the perfect gift for fans of Star Wars and Marvel since it is the only place to see new material like the first-ever live-action series, The Mandalorian, as well as upcoming content from Marvel Studios.
Right now, the Disney+ is making it even easier to
with a deal for only $70 for an entire year. A great way to show your love to mom is to binge-watch some Disney+ for with her on Mother’s Day.For the outdoors enthusiast — REI gift card or Co-op Membership
Some of us like the outdoors, while others live for it! If your Mom loves being one with nature — whether it’s skiing, snowboarding, camping, hiking, biking, fishing, or anything else while breathing in the fresh air — then a gift card to REI couldn’t be more fitting. A great way to express your love for Mother’s Day is to show interest in her interests.
Take it one step further and get her a REI Co-op Membership, which is only $20 for a lifetime. The membership includes annual member dividends, special pricing, exclusive access to classes, tours, and events.
For the shopper —
There are two types of shoppers: Those who don’t hesitate to make an online purchase regardless of how small or large the amount is, and those who prefer to see the items first before making a purchase. For both types of shoppers, there’s a perfect membership gift for them: Amazon Prime and Costco memberships. Millions have either or both of these memberships, and for good reason. They are packed with tons of perks.
- Free two-day shipping on millions of prime-eligible items
- Free same-day delivery for certain zip codes
- Free eligible grocery deliveries with Amazon Fresh
Additional Prime benefits include exclusive discounts, including during Prime Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday; and streaming access to Prime Video, Prime Music, and Twitch Prime.
A Costco membership is truly the best in-store shopping membership opportunity. The benefits include cashback rewards on purchases, the cheapest gas prices, huge savings on value-sized household products, and even discounts on travel packages and vehicles. And our favorite, you get an abundance of little samples to taste — which all moms love.
For the amateur cooks —
Our lives can get so busy with work, friends, family, and other commitments that we often neglect time in the kitchen. Some of us want to step up our cooking game, but it can be far too intimidating with dozens of different spices, freshness curve balls with greens and other vegetables, confidence in properly handling raw meat, and… the very possible chance of burning your meal to a crisp. If your mom is determined to improve her skills with a cast-iron skillet but is lost on where to start, then a meal kit delivery service could be the perfect present. They come with the exact amount of every ingredient and detailed recipes to help turn any amateur cook seemingly into a seasoned chef. And for those with dietary preferences or allergies,
have options to accommodate.For those in desperate need of R&R —
We all know a mom who works too hard and never takes time off for herself. You can’t force her to ignore her inbox or kids, but you can bring her one step closer to vacation with a Hotels.com gift card. Though hotels is in the name, the company now also offers flights and packages so your overworked mom can find thousands of opportunities to get away with Hotels.com. Also, you know your money is stretching far as the company always has competitive rates on four-star rooms.
For the movie-goer —
Some of us go to the movies often. Others, not enough. Either way, a Fandango gift card can a decent gift for both types of people for Mother’s Day. The gift cards can be used at just about any movie theater in the country.
For the amateur or pro musician —
We all have hobbies we’ve been itching to start, and if making music is one of them, that can be pretty intimidating. For starters, musical instruments and equipment can cost a pretty penny, especially for someone that’s not quite the rock star yet. One way to push your mom in the direction of finally living her musical dreams (beyond Guitar Hero and karaoke) is a gift card to Guitar Center so she can finally get the item(s) she needs to start moonlighting at the nearby dive bar. The music instrument retailer sells anything from DJ equipment to microphones to drum sets.
For the mom determined to get in shape — Echelon FitPass Plus
If your mom is dedicated to getting into shape but doesn’t have the time to get to the gym, we have a solution and an excellent Mother’s Day gift idea.
For those like us, finding the right time to inconsistently squeeze in a workout between work and family commitments is a struggle in itself. The next obvious solution is to build your own home gym so you can work out on your own time, but that too has its own set of challenges. Equipment can get expensive and you need the space in your home to hide it away when it isn’t in use. That’s where Echelon, one of the leading exercise equipment brands, has developed the perfect solution with FitPass Plus.
FitPass Plus is a fitness membership service with live and on-demand classes available 24 hours a day — all from the comfort of your home. They are conducted by world-class trainers in various workout categories including yoga, boxing, cardio, and much more. You just stream it from your tablet or TV. No heavy equipment required making it ideal for the mom with limited available space.
