Looking for a completely unique gift idea for moms for birthdays, Mother’s Day or just to say “hey, you rock”? What could be more unique than helping her realize her dream of inventing something new? They say necessity is the motherhood of invention, but who knows what’s necessary better than moms? MUMZY™, the first and only crowdfunding platform designed specifically for moms lets you give her the support she needs to realize her dream of being an inventor. Just in time, too, as next month happens to be National Women Inventors Month!
Why MUMZY™ and how can you use it to give a unique gift?
Let’s cover that first question, shall we: Why MUMZY™? As I said, it’s designed completely for moms. It’s the first crowdfunding platform of its kind! Where other crowdfunding platforms give you an avenue to raise funds, MUMZY™ gives you a community to bring an idea to fruition. The platform was founded by Catherine Merritt, a mom of two boys who knows exactly just how excellent moms are at coming up with brilliant new ideas.
When Catherine had her firstborn, she came up with an amazing idea. Sadly, she didn’t have the resources to bring it into the world. That experience did, however, give her the idea for MUMZY™! Catherine didn’t want MUMZY™ to be just another crowdfunding site, though. She wanted to make sure moms had more than just the tools to raise capital. After all, raising the funds to bring a project to life is only a small part of the process. She designed MUMZY™ to give moms additional small business support to keep the momentum going. That, coupled with a strong sense of community, helps moms fully realize their dreams of seeing their 2AM-feeding visions become reality.
How does this translate to a unique gift idea?
Now for the second part of the question: how can you use MUMZY™ to give mom (yours, mine, the mom down the street) the ultimate unique gift? First, get MUMZY™ on her radar! Introduce her to the platform and tell her about the benefits. Sign up together. You’ll have the cool status of being among the first to join this amazing new community!
Next, encourage her to share her brilliant idea! If she guffaws and says she has no good ideas, tell her she’s crazy! Every mom has an idea. It doesn’t have to be a new product. Maybe she’s great at coming up with bedtime stories. Tell her to write a children’s book. Perhaps she rocks at creating baby food recipes. Encourage her to start her own web video series! The goal is to get her to share her dream with the world. She can even choose to raise funds for her favorite charity.
Finally, get on board with supporting her project! Be the first to donate. Help her share her project with others to raise funds. Be her cheerleader, her loudest PR person. Once she raises funds, get inspired by the MUMZY™ mission and continue to support her as her dreams comes to life. Can you think of a better or more unique gift? Plus, if she’s one of the first 100 to create a project, she could win $1,000 towards her goal!
Signing up on MUMZY™ is easy. It took me less than a minute! So check it out, explore the other projects and inspire a mom in your life to realize her dreams. Then get started on your own dream too! We all have amazing ideas. MUMZY™ lets us share them with each other and get the help we need to bring them to life. Visit Mumzy.com to get started! If you have any feedback on how to make MUMZY™ even better, the founders are always excited to hear from you, so be sure to share it!
What idea would you love to see come to life with help from MUMZY™?
I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.
This sounds like such a great idea! I don’t have any kids of my own, but I can only imagine how many ideas Moms come up with. After all, they are the ones doing a ton of the more exhausting work. And its work that you can’t truly experience until you do it full-time yourself with your own kids. I bet this site is going to do just awesome!
This sounds like a great idea. I love that MUMZY allows mothers to achieve their goals from the support of others and those who care about them. Thanks for making me aware of this, as a mother myself it’s something I need to look in to.
What a fun idea! I love hearing about the inspiration behind new companies and websites. This site hopefully will give lots of moms an outlet to share their ideas. I’m looking forward to seeing what the site does!
I’m going to tell my daughters DIL about MUMZY™. They each have children and I think this site would be something that would be interesting to them. Having the support of others is a blessing with new or more experienced moms.
I think this is such a fantastic idea. I love how it provides more than just a platform to raise money because, as you mentioned, money is only one part of creating something. Mumzy seems like it’s going to be a fantastic creative outlet for mom’s everywhere.
Though Mother’s Day is not quite around the corner, I think this is a fantastic platform to raise money and create something wholly unique to each individual mother. Knowing my mother she would opt to raise money for charity, thus paying it forward. Great concept!
How beautiful that your mom would opt to raise money for charity! This definitely would be an amazing Mother’s Day gift. The way time flies, everything is around the corner, lol!
I love this! Seriously, I always come up with ideas when I am feeding our youngest or when something doesn’t go quite to plan in our house! I absolutely am going to check this out, it’s a fantastic option to just scribbling in your notebook – and I think that there is more impetus to get our ideas from fantasy to reality with a platform like this! Being able to raise money for charity is brilliant too, but I think the most wonderful thing about this is that we are supporting each other. Motherhood can be so isolating and exhausting that sometimes you just want someone to say well done, or offer some kind of affirmation that you’re doing okay.
I was recently introduced to Momzy. I actually did a post about them on my blog too. I absolutely love their website and the ideal behind it. It is a great site that I highly recommend to moms.
Isn’t such a cool idea? I’m really excited to see how it takes off. I think it’s definitely filling a unique need!
This sounds like a great company to help out moms who want to get help launching their projects.
It is an empowering thing to have people stand behind you and your vision! It can be overwhelming to start a company or it can be very frustrating. I am happy to help Mumzy get the message out about their service. What a great idea!
Oh wow. I never really heard of this before but this is something to applause about – very impressive. I am sure a lot of mommy bloggers and most moms out there will take a stand on this as well. I love how they offer their services – just beautiful!
this is great-i never heard of mumzy project , but it sounds wonderful-thanks for the post
