When I think about my mom, a lot of things come to mind. She was a gardener and loved to work in her flowerbeds. She was a reader and could often be found sitting on the back porch swing with a book. But when my boys think of me, although I love all the things my mom did, I have a different lifestyle – a farming lifestyle. And because of this, my wish list for Mother’s Day isn’t as conventional as flowers or wind chimes.
Don’t get me wrong. When you are looking for the perfect gift for Mother’s Day, almost any mom would love to be surprised with a beautifully planted patio pot. Maybe she’d even like to pick out the flowers for herself. And wind chimes are certainly relaxing, especially when you sit in the backyard with a gentle breeze. But a country mom appreciates a few other things as well.
One of my favorite gifts of all time is a 20v chainsaw. When the loppers I have in the garage are too weak to handle those larger limbs I want to cut, this chainsaw is small and light enough for me to easily position in the tree or shrub. Even the beginner can use this size chainsaw. There’s no need to mess with mixing gas and oil. Just charge the battery and pull the trigger.
Another great gift for the unusual mom is a fire pit. With everyone staying home more than ever, a backyard campfire is a great way to enjoy some time outside. Add in a couple of new patio chairs and your mom will be set up for a comfortable Saturday evening under the stars.
Boots are always a welcome gift for the hard-working mom. Whether you buy muck boots or hiking boots, quality is important. Check out the selection of hiking boots at Wilco. I’m sure you’ll find a pair that will fit her just right and encourage her to get out on the trails. If tromping through muddy stalls is more your mom’s style, look into the dozens of muck boots we have.

Finally, another power tool – a handheld blower. Great for blowing off the driveway or blowing out the barn, a small blower makes it easy for mom to keep things looking great outside. With an 18v power supply, this little blower packs a powerful punch without the weight of a gas-powered one.
