Flowers wilt, chocolates disappear, but a thoughtful home project? That’s a gift Mom will appreciate every single day.
This Mother’s Day, skip the store-bought stuff and give the gift of comfort, beauty, or convenience with a home improvement project she’ll truly love. Whether you’re handy yourself or need a little help from us at Mister Fix-It, these ideas are sure to make her smile.
Here are some of our favorite home projects that double as Mother’s Day gifts:
1. Create a Peaceful Patio or Porch Retreat
Surprise Mom by refreshing her favorite outdoor spot. Power wash the space, add potted flowers, hang string lights, or install a porch swing.
Bonus points: Add cozy cushions and some books in her favorite genre.
2. Paint Her Favorite Room
A fresh coat of paint can completely change the feel of a space. Whether it’s her bedroom, home office, or bathroom, give the walls a refresh in a color she loves.
Pro tip: Let Mister Fix-It handle the taping, priming, and cleanup for a flawless finish.
3. Upgrade Her Bathroom (Spa Day, Every Day)
Little upgrades can turn a standard bathroom into a relaxing spa escape. Consider replacing outdated fixtures, installing a better showerhead, or adding floating shelves for décor and storage.
Go the extra mile: Add a fluffy robe, candle, and bath bomb set to complete the spa vibe.
4. Give Her a Laundry Room She Doesn’t Dread
Organize and brighten the space with new shelves, a folding counter, or a hanging rod. You could even repaint it in a cheerful color or add peel-and-stick wallpaper for a quick transformation.
5. Build a Raised Garden Bed or Flower Box
If Mom has a green thumb, she’ll love having her own garden bed or planter box. Mister Fix-It can help with construction if needed.
Sweet idea: Have some of her favorite herbs or flower seeds ready before the big reveal.
6. Install a Custom Closet or Storage Solution
Make her mornings easier by organizing her closet space with built-in shelves, shoe storage, or drawers. She’ll love it! A clutter-free start to the day feels like a daily gift.
7. Create a Reading Nook or “Mom Zone”
Find an unused corner and turn it into a cozy hideaway just for her. Add a comfy chair, soft lighting, and a small table—then give it a fresh coat of paint or decorative touch.
8. Fix the Little Things That Have Been Bugging Her
That squeaky door, the broken cabinet handle, or the wobbly table leg? Knock them all off her mental list in one go. It’s the ultimate “acts of service” love language. Or call us and we’ll turn your honey-do list into honey-done.
