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 and looking her youthful self all at once. 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. Body wash and soaps of all different scents will help make Mom’s routine more relaxing than ever. Or grab a candle or two to make the house smell better than ever! A cherry blossom apothecary scented jar candle, or the scent of an eucalyptus breeze candle, is sure to make Mom happy.

The final cherry on top is our selection of soft, comfy, cotton bath towels for as low as $4.99 apiece. Perfect for drying off after a relaxing shower or bath.

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. With the Estilo 12-piece stainless steel mixing bowl and measuring set ($29.99), all her ingredients measure up right for her recipes. We’ve also got plenty of stainless-steel mixing bowls in a variety of sizes from 1.5 quarts to 8 quarts for as low as $2! And how about this – Estilo glass mason jars! Great for family dinners, holding ingredients, or snacks like overnight oats, fruits, and more!  

Give Mom’s cookware a fresh look that will spice up all her dishes. Our 11-piece Cuisinart cookware set will help her meals come out perfect! Buy them online, and you’ll get a Crazy Deal Gift Card good for $150, which means you’re almost getting this 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!

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 ranging from 3 to 10 pounds, as well as kettlebells of 15, 20, or 25 pounds. It’s not about the amount that you’re lifting. The consistency and commitment are what count. You can give Mom that and keep her in good health.

Outdoor and Gardening

Plant away and create a garden oasis with our selection of over 400 Burpee seeds. Plant them in one of our various plant or seed starter pots. Don’t have the time to tend to plants? Then get a low-effort artificial plant to bring some color into your home, no green thumb needed!
