Clutter-free Mother’s Day gift giving

In the spirit of a simpler lifestyle, we at Unclutterer offer up the following Mother’s Day gift ideas. They aren’t revolutionary suggestions, but hopefully they will get you thinking about clutter-free gift giving.

  • Charitable giving in honor of your mother is one way to show your love and appreciation without bringing clutter into her home. In particular, we like Heifer International.
  • Companies are popping up all over the country that provide experience-based gifts. Signature Days and Xperience Days are just two providers offering race car driving, boating excursions, cooking lessons, hot air balloon rides and other adventures.
  • You can order your mother flowers through a site like 1-800-Flowers for a beautiful, but temporary, gift. Be sure to order the “bouquet only” option so that there isn’t an extra vase left afterward taking up space.
  • Dinner at a fine restaurant is always appreciated.
  • Theater, movie, and concert tickets are a hit with new mothers, especially if you can also make plans for a babysitter as part of the package.

Feel welcome to leave additional clutter-free gift suggestions in the comments!

    A totally clutter-free gift idea for Mother’s Day this year is using the gift option on Facesofmoms.com! All you do is upload photos of your Mother, wife, etc. and send the personalized eCard to them. It is simple and clutter-free! Enjoy!

    Another idea (although its too late if you want to do it now)…

    Get her a “subscription” of fine fruit. Some outfits like Harry and David will mail a box of really awesome seasonal fruits once a month. Its a little on the expensive side, but older folks have a great appreciation of quality fruit.
