Choosing a gift for mom is always hard, I mean this woman gave us life and all. And it’s extra difficult when she tells us how she has everything and she doesn’t need anything and really, we don’t need to get her a present this year for her birthday/Christmas/Mother’s Day/any other occasion.
I know my mom is like that, and it’s actually not that she doesn’t like to recieve gifts, it’s more like she doesn’t like the clutter that comes with unwanted, unused presents.
It’s not only the thought that counts, when I give a gift I really try to think of the receiver and not myself- what do they want (but not necessarily KNOW they want)? What do they need or will make their life simpler/happier/easier?
Especially in our era (the era of consumerism HA!), there are SO MANY options, and when I give a gift, I try to make it count, and not just do it because I have to.
How to Select Gifts For Moms Who Has Everything and Want Nothing
Well, you can actually NOT get your mom a gift this year. JK, what’s wrong with you? It’s your mom, who carried you for nine-whole-months, fed you, and changed your dirty cloth diapers (or disposable ones, doesn’t matter)!
You can Totally get creative here, and get your mom a unique non-material gift, make an amazing, unique DIY present or give her a useful gift she actually didn’t know she wants and needs.
Some other ideas would be to give her a present that will simplify her day-to-day chores, or speed-up her daily routines, saving her time and efforts.
We prepared this Ultimate guide for you, to find an awesome, thoughtful gift for your mom, on every budget and for every mom-type.

Easy DIY Household Recipes Book
Homemade Laundry Soap & Supplies: Easy DIY Household Recipes
“Traditional household cleaners play a huge factor in this pollution. Synthetic household products contain harmful chemicals that react with ozone from the air, creating toxins like formaldehyde. Embracing a greener lifestyle isn’t just about helping to preserve equatorial rain forests, it can also mean improving your health, padding your bank account, and, ultimately, improving your overall quality of life. If you’d rather save money, try making your own detergent — it’s a fun, easy project, and your laundry will cost only pennies per load. So to sum up… non-toxic cleaners are perfectly safe around children, keep the air you breathe clean, are much, much cheaper and they don’t harm the environment.“
