Mother's Day Gift Ideas For Your Wife: Based on Her Personality Type
Time is running out and you NEED Mother's Day gift for your wife.
But not any gift, one that is PERFECT for her personality. Don't worry by the end of this short read you will know exactly what to get her and where to get it.
According to psychologists, here are the top mom personality types:
- The Perfectionist Mom: Your girl is a planner, can't sit down and relax, and wants everything to be just right.
- The Overwhelmed Mom: This mama needs a break. Keeping up with all things motherhood is a struggle. She's constantly on the verge of laughing or crying.
- The Fun Mom: She takes your kids on spontaneous adventures, never afraid to get dirty, and enjoys her wine with her girlfriends.
What to get your wife for Mother's Day if she is a Perfectionist Mom:
First of all, your girl needs you to take the wheel. The amount that she worries and frets is super draining.
Mother's Day Gift Idea No. 1:
A Day Off Coupon. You and the kids create a coupon (have them color it) that explains she has the day off.
Terms and Conditions: Mom will not clean, do dishes, laundry, or worry about hosting the perfect party. We got you covered!
The Day Off Coupon can be for Mother's Day or it can be for a day (preplanned by you) in the future. Put an expiration date on the coupon so she can't push it off, since giving up control is a struggle for her.
Mother's Day Gift Idea No. 2:
At Home Spa Day. A perfectionist is full of anxiety and worries constantly. They worry what people will think of them, they worry they are not doing a good enough job, and they worry that they are not doing enough.
If I was a perfectionist, I would want my husband to take the wheel for a bit to lighten my overthinking load.

Next, come into the bedroom where the kids and I will give you a massage with body oil and light another special candle. After the kids are in bed, we will enjoy a glass of wine with each other.
