Mother’s Day Mom Wants Utilities Over Traditional Gifts

When it comes to buying gifts for Mother’s Day it can be hard to decide what mom wants and needs and what will make her feel loved. Sure you can get her flowers and chocolate and some knick knacks, but the vast majority of gifts you can buy for Mother’s Day aren’t really going to be overly useful. They’ll get used maybe a day or two or they’ll get eaten or die if they’re flowers and then that’s that. Instead of getting these kind of perishable gifts, this year it can be a great idea to get useful gifts she really needs to help her with housework.

These gifts don’t say, “Hey mom, work more for me” but instead show that you’re thinking about her needs to make everything as easy on her as possible. So what should be on this list of things you should get your Mother instead?

Kitchen Storage Items

Kitchen storage can be a huge struggle for lots of people and it doesn’t always have to do with not having enough space, but more about not utilizing that space the best way possible. A solution to kitchen storage can be getting a kitchen utensil rack and kitchen hooks. This kitchen utensil rack is not only useful, but with a stainless tube with zinc suction cups it looks amazing as well.

It won’t just look like a piece of storage but more like a work of art. The chrome color makes it feel modern and sleek and she’ll love that. The suction cups are a great addition because it means you can easily move it around where it’s most convenient and it won’t damage the walls or surfaces in your kitchen.

The kitchen utensil rack can hold quite a bit of weight so this is an amazing solution for all those spoons, spatulas, tongs and more that are just cluttering up the counter. At only $17, it’s a small price to pay for ultimate kitchen storage.

To go along with this critical kitchen storage item you’ll need to get the kitchen hooks to go along with it. You can buy S hooks from just about anywhere, including the nearest hardware store, making it easy to add on more as you find you need them.

Kitchen Shelving Ideas

Another excellent kitchen storage idea is to buy your mother corner shelves. These corner shelves are a great idea for the kitchen with some awkward corners that don’t get used much. You may have other kitchen shelving ideas, but nothing will be as easy and sturdy as these acrylic corner shelves with heavy duty suction cups. These are great for holding spices and other things.

Buying gifts for Mother’s Day doesn’t need to be difficult and if you choose these useful gifts over perishable ones, they’ll last even longer and make mom even happier.
