Mother's Day Gift Ideas
“When you look into your mother’s eyes, you know that is the purest love you can find on this earth.”
Mother’s Day, May 12th, is the holiday where you have the opportunity to embrace, admire, and celebrate the person that gave you life, who happily sacrifices herself daily and loves you unconditionally.
Knowing what to get our mothers can be hard, so I’ve rounded up a list of ideas that your mom, or a mother figure in your life, might love. Try to spend a little time thinking about what she may appreciate and love receiving from you… maybe it will be a card with a handwritten message inside of it, a message or spa treatment, a gift card for her to go get her hair done (or better yet, go with her and make it a mother-daughter date), a fun outing where you spend a little quality time together (try a new restaurant, rent some bikes and explore the city, take a class together, etc), get her a picture frame or even booking a photographer to do a fun shoot, or get her a thoughtful gift. If there is a higher priced item that you know she will love, see if some other family members will all chip in.

These beautiful vases from BHLDN are a timeless piece. Comes in two sizes. Give to your mother as is, or with an arrangement of beautiful flowers.
For the plant loving mama
This bath tray is perfect for the mom who enjoys a relaxing bubble bath - this will help take her relaxation to the next level and make her feel pampered.
These bath salts could be an additional gift to what you are already getting her or you could do a little personal care package for you mom.
Robes are so fun and practical to me. My husband makes fun of me and says that I wear robes more than anyone else he knows!
The gift of new pajamas AND a nap, sounds like a dream.
If you have never used a gel-cooling eye mask, it is a game changer. I’m not the greatest sleeper and I’m very particular about things (noise, light, temperature, etc) so I never thought I’d be one to be able to sleep with an eye mask but when I use my cooling gel one I find that I get better sleep as it soothes and relaxes my sleep deprived self.
This one makes me giggle, because I know we have all had those days where we warm up our cup of coffee/tea ALL day long. Simply set the temperature that you want your coffee to stay at, and this will keep your coffee that temperature consistently for you!
If you have a little one, how cute would these Mommy and Me mugs be?!
One more cute mommy and me mug set option
I own multiple pieces by Made By Mary. Handmade, great quality, and customizable so it can tell a story and is more personal. There are SO many options and I know you’ll find the perfect piece for your mother. Seriously, my list of “wants” and “needs” are ever growing. ;)
If your mom loves art, or loves flowers but hates how they die, what more beautiful and personalized could you get than giving her a watercolor painting of a bouquet of everyone’s birth flowers (go ahead and include your pet(s) too!).
Colorful jars. Practical and fun! You could make it a little more personal by using the jar as a “gift basket” and stick a few fun things inside along with a card for your mom.
There is something so therapeutic about coffee and tea.
An assortment of salts, a fun idea if your mom enjoys cooking and being in the kitchen
The first year or two of motherhood is hard, a little encouragement and a few minutes of “me” time is always fulfilling.
Mother’s are constantly giving. To everyone and everything around them. Subscription boxes are a fun way to make sure that she is taken care of as well. You can do it month by month or pay for an entire year. I actually got the FabFitFun subscription last year for Mother’s Day. I loved looking forward to getting a new box every season and most of the products I received I really enjoyed.
Another subscription, only this is for perfume. You fill out a questionnaire so they can cater to your preferences and they send you a little container of perfume every month. If you find one that you love you are able to purchase a full size bottle for a discounted price.
LOVE this sweater. It also comes in a green color and the seller has amazing reviews! It has been on my wishlist for awhile now.
I am a huge fan of essential oils. My oldest sister was the first to introduce me to this brand and out of all the ones I have tried it is by far my favorite. Their website has the essential oils broken down into categories (singles, blends, orangic, kid safe, pet safe, organic, etc.) which makes it so easy to use and navigate. Plus they have an array of options! I linked a bunch of blends because I find those to be the most fun for gifts. :)

I never quite understood the depths of motherhood until I became one.
Not only is it the best, hardest and most important “job” that I will ever have, it is my purpose. It is who I am.
