- Leave Her Alone
- Hire A Maid
- Cute Pajama Set
- Gift Her a Spa Day
- Take Her To Dinner
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re wondering what to get a Single Mom on Mother’s Day, then this blog post is for you.
I am a single mom personal finance content creator and I asked my Instagram followers (10K of single moms) what they want for Mother’s Day that no one ever thinks of and these are their most popular responses.
Put down the cards, and flowers, and forget about breakfast in bed. These gifts are wonderful and those moments are much appreciated but let’s look at how you can surprise your single mom on Mother’s Day with what she actually wants.
1. Leave Her Alone
If you want to support a single mom on Mother’s Day, offer to babysit her kids for the day so she can have some time to herself.
Being a single mom is hard, and it’s important to understand all the hard work we put in every day.
One of the most valuable things you can do for her is to allow her to take time for herself.
Whether it’s an hour in the morning before the kids wake up or a full day where you take her kids out for a day, alone time can provide a much-needed break from the constant responsibilities of being a single mom.
2. Hire Her A Maid
Trying to keep her house clean and be the best mom to her kids is hard. Hiring a maid can take some of the load off and give her more time to focus on the things that matter.
The benefits of having a maid for a day will not only help with stress and free up time, but it will also improve her mental health and overall well-being.
You might think it’s a small gesture, but having a clutter-free home where she can relax and feel safe, will always make a big difference in her life.

3. Cute Pajama Set
What better to get a single mom on Mother’s Day than the gift of a cute, comfortable, luxurious pajama set?
As a single mom, we are never really able to spoil ourselves with the luxury of a nice pair of pajamas because our focus is always taking care of everything and everyone.
Gifting her a cute pair of pajamas will show the single mom in your life that you care about her mental well-being and it will show her how much you appreciate her.
4. Gift Her a Spa Day
If you’re looking for the ultimate self-care experience for a single mom on Mother’s Day, a spa day is the perfect gift.
A spa day can offer a range of benefits for single moms, from reducing stress and anxiety to allowing her a few seconds to just breathe.
From massages to facials to body treatments, there are a variety of treatments that can be tailored to suit her needs.
Beyond the physical benefits, a spa day can also provide a much-needed break from the demands of daily life. It’s a chance to unplug, unwind, and focus solely on yourself for a few hours.
As a thoughtful gift for a single mom on Mother’s Day, consider giving her the convenience and luxury of a cooked meal. She’ll love taking a break from cooking and cleaning, allowing her to fully relax and enjoy her meal.
By having a meal prepared for her, she’ll have more time and energy to focus on other important things in her life, like spending quality time with her children.
As a single mom, she is always cooking and cleaning for someone else. She will appreciate being able to sit and relax while her loved ones pick up the cooking and cleaning for one day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do you say to a single mom on Mother’s Day?
It’s ok to say Happy Mother’s Day to a single mom on Mother’s Day, especially if it is a young single mom. We sometimes forget that everyone’s family does not look like the “typical” family. That does not mean she (or they) doesn’t deserve to be celebrated on this day.

I do believe that we should ask people what they really want. It makes our lives easier and happier.
I do hope that those mothers will get what they want 🤍
Great post idea! So much gifting just adds to a house’s clutter. Nothing better than asking Mom’s what they could really use! I notice that most Moms really want things that give them more time not trinkets.
Yes~ MOM or not a mom LOL I love this post!
My sis in law is a single mom. I am sure she will love these going to surprise her
This post is spot on. These are actually the stuff moms crave for rather than any material gift item.
#1 is so underrated and it made me lol. Sometimes celebrating mom means giving her some free time to focus on herself. This was a great post. Happy Mother’s day to all the mothers out there!
such a great list, especially love the pampering the option.
As a single mom…. I 100% approve each and every one of these gifts!!!
I love your gift ideas. I particularly like the idea of cooking a meal for her on mothers day. It’d definitely help her relax and spend quality time with her children. Thanks for sharing!
Aww I love this post! Particularly No1 seems like it would have some lovely benefits haha! It feels very honest and real, thanks for sharing! x
What a fantastic list! I have a (married) daughter-in-law, and I can attest that she’d love any one of these – especially the first one! As much as we all love our kids, it can sometimes feel like the umbilical cord is still attached. Sometimes the best thing for Mothers Day is to help her feel not like a mom – just for a day.
