Gift Ideas for Mother’s Day #eBayMom

It’s about this time that I start to panic over gift ideas for Mother’s Day. My mom isn’t easy to buy for because she buys what she needs and she’s not easy to please. When a gift doesn’t hit the spot, everyone knows it. She’s not one for BS, that mama of mine.

I was looking on eBay for her this year, which is something I never thought to do in the past. Quite frankly, I’ve been a little too “eBay is for me” all these years. (eBay is still for me, but I’m willing to share.)

Inspired by the love I have for my own mom, I made a couple of #eBayMom collections filled with gift ideas for Mother’s Day for all kinds of moms, including the pickiest — mine.

#eBayMom Mother's Day Gift Ideas

My ” The Kitchen is the Heart of the Home” collection was inspired by happy childhood memories watching and helping my mom in the kitchen. I’ll never forget the things she taught me, like how to flute the edges of a pie crust.

I’ll also never forget how particular she was with her handbags. She needed things a certain way. Left foot, right foot, march, march, march. She probably still needs order, but since I don’t live there anymore, I’m making a crap shoot assumption. However, you know odds are in my favor. 😉 The collection, “Carry this Bag, Not That” was inspired by her desire for the perfect bag.

If you haven’t shopped for Mother’s Day gifts yet, take a look at the #eBayMom  gift guides. You may be surprised by how many perfect gift ideas for Mother’s Day you’ll find there.

    Kitchen products are always a great hit with moms. I know my mom usually ask for products for her kitchen and getting her a new mixer or blender always made her happy.

    Love this collection and I’m sure any mom would love to receive! I love that fashionable knife holder and I know of a new bride to be who would love it! Thanks for sharing.

    I would love that mixer! My mom is so hard to buy for. Even worse because she tells people how much she loves something when she really doesn’t, so she ends up with all these gifts she doesn’t want.

    I love all these! Definitely checking out the bag. Hope they have it in other colors! Love the knives too! And the kitchen aide. Oh I do love them all!

    I bought my mother a gift card to a local (plant) nursery. I was delighted to have my husband and kids install new hardware in my bathroom for me.

    Hope you have a happy Mother’s Day!

    This is a great post, Liz. I am enjoying daydreaming about the cool things on eBay. The yellow mixer would look great in my kitchen! Enjoy your Mother’s Day!

    I’m taking my my mom out to the Gospel Brunch at House of Blues for Mother’s Day – totally not my thing, but she will love it, so it’s worth it (and I get chicken and waffles so I guess it’s all good ;)).

    This year I said I wanted a new purse since I have been carrying around a diaper bag for almost 4 years! But I would also like a KitchenAid LOL. Happy Mother’s Day!

    I am a personal gift giver and receiver. I like thoughtful gifts. Ones my girls too the time to think up and bonus if it’s made by them. I have done many photos in frames in my day.

    I got my mom a hot roller set and some K-cups. 😉 She hasn’t had a hot roller set since I was a kid (she rolls her hair in rollers and sleeps in them, eek). And the coffee will go w/the Keurig we got her for Christmas.

    She’s easy to shop for… my MIL on the other hand, nuh uh. And if she doesn’t like a gift she’ll ask you where she got it so she can take it back. Hubby got so frustrated one year he bought her a $3 cactus. She was at a loss for words, hahahaa. Oh my, I shouldn’t laugh. We’re taking her and my FIL to dinner this year.

    I like eBay. In fact, I’m about to head over there to see if they’ve got some great Stuart Weitzman’s for this mama, at a great price (cross your fingers for me, mama needs a new pair of shoes 😉 ).

    I would love to have that casserole dish! And that knife set is really cool! I used to shop on ebay a lot. I need to check it out again.

    It is always difficult to find the right gift to express my love for someone. I find myself giving a lot of homemade gifts. I guess they feel more personal to me, sometimes. Plus, I get to customize them to match the person’s tastes/interests.

    This are some fantastic ideas for Mom. I LOVE that Kitchen-Aid mixer in yellow. I love my own KitchenAid, but this color makes it special.

    I haven’t decided yet what I’ll actually be doing for Mother’s Day, but I know I’ll be spending it with my sisters (who are moms) and my mom as well. These are great gift ideas.

    That Kitchenaid mixer looks amazing, and I love the color. I have always wanted one of those, but am not sure I bake enough to warrant getting one.

    I like spending time with my family for mother’s day – whether on a family bike ride or going to a ball game or something. My favorite thing to get my mom is time together – lunch, pedicure, etc.

    I never think to go to ebay for anything. I am one that was always worried about buying items from a person I have never met. I think there are procedures in place to protect you but I am still afraid.

    My mom bought anything she wanted. She was a pain to shop for!! She was a sucker for pics of the grand kids though. And wine. Always wine.

    Those are great ideas that any mom would love to receive. Although gifts are great, I think what are moms would appreciate as well is the fact that they are remembered on Mothers’ Day and on regular days too.

    We won’t be able to be with the mother this year but I have already sent a card and some flowers and cash. I was just visiting with her not very long ago and was able to get her set up with a few nice things at the time. I am in the middle of a kitchen remodel so I don’t really want to add anything to the chaos at this time with gifts. Just want to have a nice lunch out with my family. Happy Mother’s Day to all!

    That’s an awesome collection of items for Mom. I’m doing just a card for my Mom this year as she’s trying to declutter her home (and life) and doesn’t want ‘stuff’ right now.

    What great gift ideas. I would love the knife set for sure. I love how colorful it is.

    I wouldn’t have thought about eBay, but I am always frantically trying to think of the right gift. This is a great idea for those of us who are slightly challenged in that area.

    I’ve had my eye on a few nice handbags that I would LOVE LOVE to have for Mother’s Day. But honestly I would probably be happy with anything since they actually THOUGHT about me, lol.

    As a kid I swore I’d hurt my husband if he ever bought me anything for the house/kitchen for Mother’s Day… I’ve definitely changed my mind. Got a KitchenAid last year and it was perfect!

    What great gift ideas! I know I would be one happy camper if I received any of those awesome gifts for Mom’s day! Total ebay fan, but I definitely forget to shop for others there too! Great idea!

    HAHA! I’m sorry but I just had to laugh. My mom was the exact same way. She was super hard to please and if she didn’t like a gift, she’d let you know about it. The only thing that I could ever get that I’d KNOW she liked was a certain flowering hanging basket. I’d end up getting her that every single year.

    That Kitchen Aid Mixer has been on my wish list for so long! I really want the professional one. I plan on getting my mom a gift card to her favorite store. She’s there like once a week!

    My mom is hard to shop for too, so this year, I decided to treat her to a little variety and got her a Mother’s Day KlutchBox – I think she will like seeing all the lil’ surprises that come in the box.

    My Mom is 91 years young and still does her own cooking etc. She is having a bit of trouble with dexterity and those knives with thick handles might just be helpful for her–other then that it’s flowers and take her out for an early dinner!

    this mothers day – i would like for my little one to not be sick…
    and jewelry wouldn’t hurt either 😉

    I showed these to my wife and she said “you’d better not even think of getting me anything for the kitchen”. Back to square one…

    My Mother has passed, but for me… My husband and children are taking me to NYC for the day! I’m so freaking excited! Its a Bucket List trip, so I hope my expectations don’t overdo the actual day! Happy Mother’s Day!

    I lost my Mom four years ago, but I keep her beautiful honeymoon photo with my dad as wallpaper on my phone. I think for Mother’s Day, I would love to watch a romantic black and white movie from the thirties or forties, that will remind me of my Mom in her radiant young married life. She was a wonderful cook, so some nice new pots and pans and baking dishes would be a great thing to get. May have to go to a restaurant supply store and treat myself to some new cookware!

    My mom is extremely picky and if she doesn’t like something, she’ll let you know. She’s been hinting around that she wants a new bed, but I’m not quite sure that’s in my budget this year. I’ll probably just get her a kitchen aid blender as she’s always wanting to borrow mine.
