Mother’s Day is around the corner. And with the new spring season, she might be thinking about changing the color of her window drapes, dining table cover, couch cushions or linen. New colors can brighten up the mood! So what better way to surprise her than with an IKEA gift card? Mothers everywhere are always in need (or want) of some item to improve their home. Maybe a new vase, a new lamp, a new seat cushion for long hours of sitting at the desk, a new set of matching photo frames, or a new knife set for her kitchen needs. Whatever it may be, IKEA has her covered.

The nice thing about offering Mom an IKEA gift card is that she can use it for whatever she needs during her next IKEA visit. The even better thing about an IKEA gift card is that she can go directly online to make her purchase, type in the gift card code and have her charges and delivery taken care of right from her home. No driving or walking around required!

Obtaining an IKEA gift card is easy. They’re available in increments between $5 through $500, and you can purchase it in person at your local IKEA store or online on the IKEA website or even on Amazon.com. If $500 isn’t enough to show her your appreciation, pick up a couple or several. IKEA has a lot to offer. Whether it’s a big item like a new bed or a small one like a chocolate bar, IKEA will be able to get her what she needs.

The only downside to an IKEA gift card is that Mom might not find it too thoughtful or creative (but that criticism really applies to any gift card you might want to buy her). If you’re concerned about this, first off, go find a card! Make sure to write her a thoughtful note and mention that you appreciate and love her dearly. Tell her that the IKEA card is for her to use at her convenience for whatever she needs.

Another helpful tip is to provide some browsing options for her in advance. You can send her an email and include some items you looked at for her. Tell her about the awesome PS 2014 storage table that comes in four different vibrant colors, and mention to her that it might be perfect for storing her craft items. Mention the beautiful Ormhassel throw that might go great with the color and pattern on her couch.

Sometimes the sink area in the bathroom might seem too cluttered because of lack of space. IKEA provides sink cabinets for all your mother’s storing needs. Whether it’s a blow dryer, toothpaste, makeup or rolls of bathroom tissue, a new sink cabinet might be exactly what Mom needs this year for storing and organizing her space. IKEA’s bathroom sink cabinets come in all different styles, shapes, colors and sizes so whatever look your mother’s going for, she’ll be able to find the right one. Of course, she’ll also appreciate any steps you take to pick out some suggestions in advance!

Be sure to tell Mom that she doesn’t need to worry about hauling a new couch up to her living room by herself. IKEA handles home delivery, assembly and installation. It’s just a matter of putting in the request.

To save your mother from any of these hassles, pick up the phone or go online yourself to assist her. She’ll appreciate the extra mile you take to make sure that her IKEA gift card is used to its fullest advantage. Otherwise, treat Mom out to dinner yourself, and afterwards, go for a drive to your nearest IKEA store so that you can help Mom pick out what she needs at IKEA herself. Afterwards, you can home deliver it to her, and maybe even assemble and install the furniture for her.

So show your affection and gratitude on Mother’s Day with a nice trip to the local IKEA store with your mom. She’ll be excited to put her IKEA gift card to use!
