Moms know best so they deserve the best! Make sure you don’t just give your mother or grandmother the same old gift this Mother’s Day. Let Ocean State Job Lot give you a few ideas that may bring a smile to her face.

Two children and their father celebrate Mother’s Day by bringing their Mom breakfast in bed.

Breakfast in Bed

What better way to start Mother’s Day than with a comfy, quality, and homemade breakfast made for Mom? Pancakes, muffins, and waffles made from Bob’s Red Mill mixes from Ocean State Job Lot are a wonderful way to start.

Add in some fruits, berries, and other traditional treats that Mom loves. Plus, don’t forget the coffee! We’ve got lots of that, too, including a bevy of blends from Victor Allen, Boston’s Best, Day to Day, East Coast Market, and Market & Main, among others!

Deliver breakfast on a tray with a homemade card straight from the heart. We’ve got plenty of markers, pens, and pencils to make any designs and greetings you want.

Beauty Products

Everyone always loves looking their best. Give Mom the beauty supplies she’ll need to keep her feeling fantastic while looking at her youthful self all at the same time. Plus, for you, you’ll get them all at amazing prices here at Ocean State Job Lot! And maybe if you’re lucky enough, she’ll share them with you.

You can start with Dove beauty supplies like body wash and oils. Give the whole house or just the bathroom a sensational smell with our 18-ounce sugar-coated chestnut scented jar candle or maybe cherry blossom, vanilla blossom apothecary, or passion fruit blossom are more what Mom likes.

Let her dry off with soft, comfy, cotton bath towels for only $4.99 apiece or a six-piece bubble cotton bath towel set for just $14.99.

Baking and Cooking

If Mom’s a wiz in the kitchen, you’ll want to put together a buffet of bakeware and cookware for her. An Estilo 12-piece stainless steel mixing bowl and measuring set ($29.99) will make sure all her ingredients measure up right for her recipes. We’ve got plenty of stainless-steel mixing bowls in a variety of sizes from 1.5 quarts to 8 quarts for only $2 apiece. And how about this – an Estilo glass mason jar beverage dispenser for just $37.99? It’s great for parties, no matter the season.

Give Mom’s cookware a fresh new look that will spice up all of her family dishes. Our 11-piece modern ceramic cookware set comes in three colors – red, lavender, and coral. Buy them online and you’ll get a Crazy Deal Gift Card good for the same $159.99 price, which means it’s like getting the cookware set for FREE*!

Don’t forget all of our food storage container options, too! That’ll make sure leftovers don’t go to waste! All Moms love that idea!

Gift Ideas for Mom

Getting Fit and Feeling Good

Physical fitness and working out don’t have to mean leaving the house and going to the gym. Bring the gym to Mom with exercise mats from us. On those, she’ll be able to do her yoga stretches and use her Neoprene hand weights of various weights ranging from 1 to 5 pounds as well as kettlebells of 15 , 20, or 25 pounds. It’s not about the amount that you’re lifting, it’s the consistency and commitment. You can give Mom that and keep her in good health. Believe us, she’ll thank you and everyone in the family will feel better about that.
