What do you give the mom who does everything? This is the question I was asking myself as I prepped gifts for the annual kids' gift exchange that I do with my two best friends. We had met when our children were babies, and almost 10 years later they were more family than friends.
These ladies are the best friends and moms I know, and I wanted to give them something special, to show them that I am always there for them just like they are for me. That's when I decided to make a gift that would keep on giving: a sanity savers coupon book! And I have it here as a free printable so that you can create your own handmade coupon book for the moms in your life.
Give Experiences, Not Things
Most moms I know don't need more stuff. In fact, a lot of us are trying to simplify and declutter our homes. So when I'm searching for a gift, I'd rather not give another "thing" to take up space. Instead, I've found a simple alternative: coupons for special experiences tailored to the recipient!
I decided to make some printable coupons for my mom friends for Christmas, and as I was creating them I knew they would make a thoughtful gift for any occasion! I call them "Sanity Savers" because that's what they are: ideas that will help your mom friend when she feels like she's drowning.
There are so many occasions when you can reach out to a mom with this thoughtful gift. While I created mine for Christmas, they are also a perfect Mother's Day gift for the moms in your life.
You can also give this homemade coupon book for times when the moms in your life need a helping hand: new moms, moms dealing with sick kids, or simply when you just want to say "I'm here for you." These are the times that we moms need each other most, and giving your friends the gift of your time is something they will truly appreciate.
Sanity Saver Coupons for Moms
This free, one page printable includes four coupons to create your own mom coupon book. Inside, you'll find fun coupons good for:
- One babysitting session.
- One dinner delivery.
- One mom's night out (works for a coffee date too).
- One favor of her choice - anything from a grocery run to doing loads of laundry.
All with a cute cover to make a little coupon book perfect for gifting!
Creating your homemade coupon book is simple. Once you've downloaded the pdf file, you can send it to your printer to create your coupons in seconds.
Print the file and use scissors to cut along the dashed lines to create 4 coupons and the cover.
Stack the four coupons, line up the left edges, then wrap the cover around the stack.
Secure the book with a staple or two along the left side. Then add your recipient's name and a note on the back and you have a homemade coupon book any mom would love!
