As a women’s ministry director, it can be challenging to come up with gift ideas for the mothers in your church. Here are 12 ideas to help you with this decision:
1. A beautiful flower. It can be a rose, a carnation, a peony, a lily, etc.
2. Chocolate. There are all kinds of options with this one, depending on your budget. You can gift the mothers in your church with a chocolate rose or truffle(s) or other gourmet chocolate treats.
3. A chef’s apron. This is a practical gift that will be appreciated by busy moms who spend a lot of time in the kitchen doing any type of food preparation (frying chicken, baking cupcakes, etc.).
4. Scented hand or body lotion: If it’s a small bottle, you can put it in a tulle bag with some chocolates and tie it with a pretty ribbon.
5. An elegant handbag. This is another practical gift, ideal for trips to the library, the beach or to go to soccer games.
6. Framed art, photo, or writing. If you have some pictures you like, you can have them professionally printed and framed yourself.
7. Girls day. Celebrate Mother’s Day as a group. Make plans to get manicures, pedicures, see a movie, eat dessert, or whatever else women enjoy doing together.
8. A beautiful photo frame. You can use it to display Mary’s latest family photo or artwork or even a treasured Mother’s Day card.
9. A quality (but nice) pen. This is a useful gift as you can use it to write shopping lists, write checks, mark dates on the calendar, etc. There are many styles available. How about choosing one with an inspiring message?
10. A beautiful magnetic notebook, journal or notepad and a matching pen.
11. Mug or cup. How about filling it with some gourmet tea bags, hot chocolate mix, chocolates or other sweets? Wrap it with cellophane and a pretty ribbon and you’re good to go.
12. A gift certificate for a free drink and dessert for two at a local coffee shop. Write a note suggesting that she ask a friend out with her.
