The Gift of Organization This Mother’s Day and Father’s Day

Mother’s Day is coming soon, and Father’s Day won’t be too far behind. Instead of flowers or a tie this year, why not give Mom or Dad (or your significant other) the gift of organization? It’s basically a gift that keeps giving throughout the year.

Hear us out: We at TRINITY like flowers and golf shirts just as much as anyone. But flowers don’t last long, and golf shirts aren’t too memorable.

But that burst of joy we get when we open our closet door and can finally see (and reach) all our favorite clothes? The calm and satisfaction we feel when we no longer have to dig through unwieldly piles or crowded cabinets to try to find what we need? Those are gifts that keep giving all year long.

To get your wheels turning, here are four ideas for getting Mom or Dad a gift they’ll really enjoy – and benefit from – this Mother’s or Father’s Day:

Give Mom the Day Off – and a Pleasant Surprise When She Returns

Moms with young kids – or messy teenagers – are pretty much guaranteed to appreciate 1) free time and 2) a clean house. This Mother’s Day, give Mom a twofer by giving her some time off to sleep in or read a book while you clean out and organize a messy area of the house. Overflowing pantry, cluttered entryway, garage you can’t park in? Take your pick.

If you also want to give her a tangible gift, consider something to help in the organizing process. This could be as small as some stackable bins or as large as a five-tier shelving rack. We offer a number of attractive long-term solutions that are built to last.

Get Organized Together

Think Mom or Dad would appreciate the above, but might want to have a say in where things go? Make them a clever IOU or certificate good for your time and “services,” and then agree on a later time and date you all can tackle it together.

This works well if you want to let Mom or Dad choose in advance which area to organize and/or order a product that might help in the process.

Spend Time with Older Moms and Dads

Moms and dads of adult children will probably tell you the thing they want most is to spend time with you. You can also give them the gift of your time by helping them get organized around their home.

Older moms or dads may especially appreciate help in the kitchen, where mobility issues make it harder to reach into high or low cabinets. Or maybe they’d like some help organizing their financial records, photos or memorabilia. (Bonus opportunity = to share stories and memories)

Gift Them with a Quality Organizing Solution

Don’t live near Mom or Dad, or think they would prefer to do the organizing themselves? Help get them started with a quality, long-term solution.

TRINITY offers a wide range of durable and environmentally-friendly products including cabinet organizers, kitchen and rolling carts, closet organizers, shoe benches, laundry organizers, wall shelving, workbenches and garage cabinets.
