Mother’s Day Gift Guide
Mother’s Day is right around the corner and we need to start shopping and making for our favorite ladies! Before exploring some of my absolute favorite items, here’s what I want you to know: Moms like thought. We are constantly thinking of everything and everyone (usually before ourselves). So this time of year is perfect to show that you, too, also think about her.
This takes a spin on your traditional gifts. You can stick with the basics - a gift card, candle, and flowers - but make it personal. What is her favorite shop or salon? What is her favorite brand or scent? What is her favorite color or kind?
I’ve rounded up ideas for all price points and budgets. There are DIY ideas, kid crafts, and all kinds of products. This is for all the moms in your life - your wife, child’s mama, own mother, mother-in-law, dog mama, and so on.
For the cozy at-home Mom
Adorable mini waffle maker (or from Amazon here) / Nespresso machine / Milk frother (Amazon)/ Ember coffee mug / Purple Target mug / Anthropologie “Mom” mug / Smeg Kettle for the hottest and quickest water / Smeg Milk Frother / Tea organizer / Cozy throw-queen size blanket / Target Stars Above PJ Set / Fun fuzzy slippers / Our Place Wonder Oven / Free People dupe sweatshirt
Want to save some money? Here is a cute DIY idea — If your kids are younger, have them go to a pottery place and make a mug for Mom or Grandma. You can buy a cheap mug and paint it at home, too! These are heirloom pieces that will be cherished forever.
WANT A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA: Add a gift card to Mom or Grandma’s favorite coffee shop, eatery, restaurant. Remember, it’s the thought that counts.
For the outdoorsy Mom
Garden stepping stone kit / Watering can / Zinnia seeds / Gardening gloves / Flip down straw water bottle / Teva sandals / Aesthetic indoor/outdoor planter / Plantbar Co Leaf Wellness (MARTIN10 for 10% off) / Mama hat / Bubs hat / Rubber Arizona Birkenstocks
Want to save some money? Here is a cute DIY idea: Go to Michales, Walmart, or your local arts and crafts store and grab a ceramic pot and some craft paint. Have your kids paint the pot with their handprints or whatever they’d like to do! Just be sure to spray it with a polyacrylic top coat so their creation doesn’t wash or scrape away.
Want to do a little something extra? Pick up a potted plant and add it into the gift. I LOVE getting potted plants for our front porch and back patio.
For the on-the-go Mom
My favorite leather backpack / MAMA hat / Oversized sunglasses / Bogs Bag / Simple Modern Water Bottle / Goop glow screen / Converse platforms / Anthropologie wristlet / BOSE Portable Speaker / Fluffy oversized beach towel / The famous Lululemon belt bag / Big buckle Birkenstocks
TIP for an extra add-on: Pair one of these gifts with a gift card to her favorite hair or nail salon to really make sure mom is feeling and looking her best before that next outing.
