The pressure is on to find just the right Mother’s Day gift. The truth is, your mom probably doesn’t expect anything. But there’s that inner desire to try to get something unique that would make her smile.
Honestly, the thought of a journal might sound boring. But pair a journal with one of our ways to use a journal, and you might uncover a unique Mother’s Day gift idea.
First, the full-grain leather of a Leatherpress journal, whether in a softcover version or our pebbled leather hardback notebook, lends your gift that scent of luxury-accessory right off the bat.
Second, one of these ideas might be just right for your mom, depending on her interests or stage of life!
Does your mom spend time with bulb and seed catalogs, or move plants around each Spring or Fall? Enter a gardening journal.
A gardening journal keeps track of what you are planning and what you’ve actually planted once you assemble it all. As summer fades and your harvest of flowers or vegetables starts to wane, sit down and write what you’ve noticed to plan for the next year.
Corral all those worn recipe cards, newspaper clippings and printed-from-the-internet recipes. Isn’t it true that everyone has favorites, whether for holidays treats, or the regular weekly recipes?
Get Mom’s specialties and your favorites down in a leather recipe notebook. Leave room for her to add more, and expect this enviable volume to get passed down to the favorite child!
Gratitude as a practice has been shown to increase happiness, to reduce stress and keep us attentive to life!
Start mom off with a few pages of your gratitude to her for her years of unconditional support and love. Write a few of your favorite stories, and tuck our gratitude journal template in the gift box to keep her going. Pocket size is just right for gratitude.
What about the on-the-go Mom? Help her organize her travel ideas and advice in her own travel journal. Our travel journal template helps with pre-trip planning, capturing the details of where she’s been, and building a list of recommendations for those don’t-miss spots.
And this one has a inside back pocket for your Vatican museum ticket stub or your train ticket.
You can always find our entire Leatherpress collection right here.
Happy Mother’s Day!
