Looking for a Unique Mother’s Day Gift? Try Solar Screens or Patio Shades!

As kids, making homemade cards for our moms, stepmoms and grandmas was more than enough for Mother’s Day. In college, we took them to dinner and sent flowers to their houses. Since then, we have racked our brains each May to find the perfect gifts. As we grow older, however, our list of loved ones to celebrate each Mother’s Day grows, to include our wives, their mothers, their grandmothers and even our sisters. It seems to become increasingly more difficult to find a unique and useful gift that is worthy of the wonderful women in our lives.

While solar screens or patio shades might not be the first thing to come to mind when thinking about Mother’s Day, read through this list for some reasons why they may be the perfect idea for your wife, mother, or grandma.

Moms are notorious for their always well-intentioned, sometimes aggravating need to keep her family safe. She was the one that made sure we were wearing our knee and elbow pads, helmets, and sunscreen. She taught us to begin slowing down way before the yellow light as teens learning to drive. Even as adults with our own families, she does her best to make sure we are as safe as possible.

Luckily for Mom, one of the most important benefits of window sunscreens or patio shades is that they protect her family from the sun’s harmful UV rays and their damaging effects. Your mom can choose screens that block either 80 or 90% of the rays. Solar screens and patio shades will make your mom or wife feel at ease that her children and/or grandchildren are safe from harmful rays as they play in the natural afternoon light or on the patio.

Asking your mom to hang out is music to her ears, whether you’re four or forty. We all know our moms want to spend more time with us. By purchasing her custom solar shades for the patio, you will be creating an outdoor oasis for her to enjoy with friends and family. Patio shades create a cool and refreshing reprieve from the scorching heat, protect patio furniture and keep critters from exploring the BBQ food, thus increasing the livable space of your mom’s home and making her house the “happenin’” spot.

For the romantic side of your wife or mom, patio shades are also a perfect place to enjoy a sunset (or monsoon) and a glass of wine with her special someone.

In some families, Moms are the money handlers and checkbook balancers. Many mothers prefer to oversee the budget and make sure that the family has enough to cover the basics (and then some), plus savings, before investing in extravagances.

For these money-minded mommas, sunscreens are the perfect investment. Especially in Arizona where electricity bills easily reach a couple hundred dollars per month in the summer, your mom or wife will appreciate the huge savings that solar screens bring. SRP estimates that solar screens will save about 25% on electricity bills each and every month. Not only will the screens bring added monthly savings, there are also many government tax benefits for making one’s home more “green”.

While most women love flowers, candy and jewelry, sometimes we just want something we can actually use. For all intents and purposes, solar screens and patio shades are extremely practical. They are used every day, serve an incredibly important purpose, save money, and increase livable space to enjoy with loved ones. What could be more practical than that?
