I love that my husband treats me like a queen on Mother’s Day or really every day.

Mother’s Day is when kids usually make homemade cards for their Moms but it is really a special day that my hubby shows off his skills as the Best Husband ever. He spoils me rotten. And guess who sees it? Yep, our kids.
They see a vision of what parents are supposed to look like – in love.
To me Mother’s Day should be about love, whether you are a mother, had a mother or want to be a mother. Let me just say – no one has to go into labor to be a true mother. I have had many “mother figures” in my life that did not give birth to me.
10 Mothers Day Gift Ideas for husbands
(but not necessarily just for Mother’s Day – who wouldn’t want gifts everyday?)
1. Give your wives some “quiet time” or time to get some focus. This has been life changing for me. I am able to gather my thoughts and focus on God’s purpose for me. An hour here or there is amazing.
2. Take time to find out what she likes. My husband and I have been married for many years and he is still trying to discover my constant changing opinions. It is a process. He doesn’t always get it right but I love that he tries.
3. Spice up her life with a little change in routine once in a while. Maybe bring home dinner, or buy her flowers for no reason. If you are lacking in the money envelope then maybe after the kids go to bed make her something sweet and eat it by candlelight together.
4. Go for a simple walk together and hold her hand. I told my husband a while back I wanted him to “woo” me. He was like “really?” But, it worked. Simple hugs, holding hands, walks to the park, kissing a little longer for no reason. It made me glad to see him when he got home from work and when I had worked all day. Just the little things can do a huge jump start for a bad day.
5. An old fashion love letter written by her husband is an amazing gift. Some days I find letters written by my husband and I am reminded why I am making a difference in his life and his children’s lives. It just never gets old to read words penned by someone who really appreciates and loves.
6. Try not to give her a kitchen appliance unless you are for SURE that she would want it or a gift of that nature. When my hubby and I were first married he bought me a kitchen processor. I didn’t cook back then. NOW, I love it. But, back then…not so much. This doesn’t just apply to appliances but anything that might not fit her “love” language. His heart was in the right place but it probably hurt him a little when I couldn’t even tell him what is was or how to use it. Again, my views have changed on the processor.
(Young Moms – if you are reading…don’t expect too much from young husbands. They will learn in time, hopefully.)
7. 12 special gifts. One for every month of the year. Try to think of something that you did each month the past year and give her a special memory.
8. Give her something that was special you both talked about in a past conversation (to prove you were listening.) If you talk about traveling, maybe a globe so you can fulfill future dreams together or if you can afford it a trip somewhere.
9. One of the sweetest gifts my hubby gave me was photography classes. They were not cheap. But, I love to take photos and love to learn. It was a win-win. Is there a hobby that your wife wants to learn or maybe a class you can take together?
10. If nothing else works – Purses, Bags, Perfume, Flowers, Jewelry and Chocolate are always a good idea too.
Any lady just wants to feel special and loved. No one is the same. My sister would probably be fine with a small gun. Me, not so much. My Mom would probably be super elated over rubber boots. Again, not me.
Find what works for your love. Listen to her “wants” that might change daily. My husband will verify this and is probably waving a little white flag that means “I surrender.” Just kidding, he loves me. And I love him!
Blessings to you! You are loved!
