Kitchen floors take a lot of wear and tear over the years as they tend to get the most foot traffic of any place in a home. Surprise your mom this year with a new kitchen floor! To ensure she'll like the flooring you choose, take her out for the afternoon to look at samples of different flooring options. There's tons to choose from whether she prefers laminate, hardwood, tile, etc. Flooring is a great gift option because it's a DIY project that can be done in a weekend so installation won't need to be an added cost.
