Mother’s Day is around the corner, and still unsure of what to get your mom or wife?
Think about that special lady in your life… I bet she isn’t like any other woman out there, is she? She isn’t the type of woman who wants flowers that will only last a week or two or a dinner at a crowded restaurant with a sea of other mothers and their screaming kids. No, she is one of those “get it done” women who like to use her hands to make something valuable and beautiful for herself or her kids.
That’s why Acme Tools has made the best last-minute buying guide for Mother’s Day for the get-it-done women in your life. Here, we will cover four categories that you could use to slim down your buying options.
DIY Mom- Building Projects
When it comes to these women, they like to make things with their own hands and don’t mind getting them dirty. Whether they have tools, I’m sure they wouldn’t complain about adding a few new ones to their collection this Mother’s Day.
Saw
Any tool worth having is a multi-use, and a saw is no exception. Saws can be used to cut or add an angle to any piece. Giving them a new saw to replace last year’s model or that old one with the frayed wires would be a welcomed upgrade. Seeing them cut through wood like nothing and watching their faces light up with how fast it cuts makes her next building project much easier and faster.
Drill
Drills are also needed for any creating process and make fastening a whole lot easier and faster compared to hand screwing, which can take up too much of her already limited time. Also, having multiple drills could mean extra help if they involve the kids in the following building projects!
Workbench
Does she have a nice clear, and organized area to work on? No?
Then, get them a nice workbench to do all the planned work. Better than them building on the floor or a piece of foam. A workbench will elevate them off the ground and ease their back and knee pain. A bench is a much-appreciated workpiece that can expand a workspace and be altered later to fit needs.
Sander
Finally, a sander is a great tool to add to any builder’s collection, as most projects require you to sand the wood before or after the completion of the project. Having this will save your particular lady time from doing one of the most repetitive tasks in the building. Also, watch how much faster they’ll get done and return to enjoying the fruits of their labor.
Cleaning Your Car
For the car lovers out there or the mom who just feels like she lives in her car chauffeuring kid after kid to their next activity, she would love to get a few supplies to help maintain their fresh car, and sheen would be appreciated. Just as much as other materials to get the gunk and grease off their hand from working under the hood or with the kids.
Vacuum
Getting an industrial-level vacuum may seem overkill, but working with wood, in a shop, or at home long enough to have a vacuum at hand is never a bad idea.
They can get one of the most versatile and powerful vacuums in the market, giving them the mobility to quickly get around the shop and the house. Tracked in dirt, sand, or cookie crumbs is no match for a shop vacuum used for the around-the-house mess!
Pressure Washer
Pressure washers are needed for outdoor jobs such as cleaning the patio of all the gunk from the rain and winter. You can also use them on your car to clean off all the set in dirt, but make sure the pressure washer you buy can adjust to a lighter, softer setting.
Cleaning Supplies
Cleaning Supplies are needed in any shop or home; having supplies that can cover both would be a great addition to any person. Getting a scrub that can get oil off the garage or shop floor will effortlessly get the sticky, caked-in juice stain out of the tile her kid spilled yesterday that she just noticed.
Outdoor Moms
The mom who loves being outside, whether gardening, camping, hiking, or supporting the family at an event, deserves things that will make them more comfortable and allow them to enjoy their time outside.
Yeti
Yeti items, in general, are an excellent option for carrying drinks from inside to outside.
These containers can keep your coffee warm all day or water cold for hours. Because it’s unpredictable how long a hike may take or when those soccer games will ever end. Moms deserve to have their drinks how they want, especially on Mother’s Day.
Fire Pits
Napoleon Fire Pits add a little flair and warmth to your backyard so you can spend time around a fire year-round. With a pit, enjoy pleasant company and let them know you care. Get one of these in various sizes to match the yard and impress her with your eye for style.
Outdoor Living
Acme Tools also has a section dedicated to outdoor living for more options.
Find things covering grills for the cooks, storage for the traveler, a cooler for the lake-loving mom, and many more options for things we didn’t include on the list.
Lawn & Garden
Then, the home gardener can get the best tools on the market through Makita. Makita has one of the best Outdoor Power Equipment selections, and where they are novices to experienced pros, there is something that will be sure to make them happy and Rule the Outdoors.
Everyday Mom
Ladder
A ladder may seem redundant, but having one when you need it in your home is detrimental. I appreciate having one when the time comes. Use it for standard things like getting things on the highest shelf they can’t usually reach. Particularly useful for maintenance in the home when changing light bulbs or filters. Put her on the pedestal she deserves with a new ladder!
Rain Jackets
Spring is here, which also means unpredictable showers may occur. Get your wife a small gesture you care about by getting them a rain poncho and leaving it in their car or purse. That way, when the rain starts to pour, you can tell her to check her purse to find a little gift to show that you care.
Heated Jackets
Buying a heated jacket, maybe out of season, is weird, but we all know a mother or a wife who is always cold no matter what time of year. Getting them this in the spring may seem off, but when the winter hits or on those chilly summer nights, and they have this in the home, they will say thank you.
Final Thoughts
You know your mom and wife better than most people, and you know she’ll see and appreciate your gesture to improve her life while giving her the freedom to do it herself with these thoughtful and creative gifts. Happy Mother’s Day from Acme Tools!
