There is no fun in coming up with those cookie-cutter gift items, in my opinion. Especially, if the gift is for your Mom. I mean she deserves the extra thought you would put into getting something she loves! Well, but it is no secret she would love ANYTHING from you! Be it an exquisite piece from Tiffanys or roses from the local flower shop. But that is beside the point if you are still reading this post.

3. Strip the Beds and Wash the Sheets First

Since it takes time for bed linens to wash and dry, start with the bedding first as part your gift for Mom. If she has spare sheets, you can let the bed air out a little, spritz with linen spray and then place the clean linens on it. Put the old sheets in the wash and let the machine do all the work while you spruce up the rest of the house.

4. Bathrooms Next for Mom’s Gift

Next, tackle the bathrooms. This is an area that’s not usually very pleasant to tackle. Just go ahead and get it over with first. Don’t forget to check and refill Mom’s drinks and snacks periodically. Even if she protests a little, you know she’s going to love a sparkling bathroom.

5. Surprise Mom with a Sparkling Kitchen

As part of Mom’s present, wash and put away the dishes. If cabinets have become disorganized, surprise Mom with arranging them back the way she had them. Remember this is Mom’s present for Mother’s Day, so don’t be too tempted to re-arrange the cabinets as you want them. Follow how she normally has them.

6. Tackle the Refrigerator

Take the food out of the refrigerator and place in a large cooler. Remove the refrigerator shelving and door shelving. Wash with a light mixture of vinegar and baking soda. Replace everything back in the way Mom normally likes her cold items.

7. Next up, Cabinets

Wipe down the fronts of cabinets and cabinet door handles. For wooden cabinets, use a small amount of wood furniture polish on a rag and polish up the cabinets. Mom’s gift for Mother’s Day will amaze her at how much newer her kitchen looks with the cabinets so well-cared for.

8. Dusting and Vacuuming

The final step for Mom’s gift is dusting and vacuuming. Save this for last. You Mom can enjoy the movie, snacks and drinks without noisy cleaning equipment bothering her. By the time you get to dusting and vacuuming, Mom should be done with or close to done with her movie. If the movie isn’t over, sit down for a break and watch it with her.
