Gifts Ideas for the Mom in Your Life

Mother’s Day is quickly approaching! As a busy mom, Mother’s Day can sneak up on you with the chaos of end of the year school activities, home projects, and travel plans. Moms have a heart of gold and do not have expectations of presents, but we still love the gesture of gifting to make the day special and show our appreciation for everything she does for the family. Here are some thoughtful ideas for the loving and selfless moms in your life!

For your mom or mother-in-law:

1. Upgrade her tired, old loungewear! Chances are, this probably is not on Mom’s priority list. Make her feel luxurious with a fluffy new robe and slippers or some silky soft pajamas. Monogramming these items is a nice touch!

2. Make a gift basket with a new study Bible, planner, or journal. Add a cute coffee mug, some pretty pens, and a bookmark. She will think of you every morning during her quiet time!

For your daughter or daughter-in-law:

1. A trendy, personalized necklace that says “Mama” or her children’s initials. I love Lola James Jewelry!

2. A coupon for a day off or a night out! Whether she works inside or outside the home, your daughter will deeply appreciate some time to refresh and recharge. Offer to babysit the kids and go the extra mile by booking her a nail appointment, foot massage, or a dinner reservation!

For your sister or sister-in-law:

1. Gift her some self-care products she might not normally treat herself to such as cooling eye gels, a body scrub, bath salts, or a facial roller. DIY spa day!

2. Inspire her with a new cookbook from her favorite cooking personality! I love Joanna Gaines. Add an oven mitt and matching apron set from Williams Sonoma and tie it all together with a pretty ribbon.

3. Sis will love a wine subscription! She will enjoy a glass after the kids are tucked in bed and she is unwinding after a long day of mom life!

For Grandma:

1. Brighten her day with fresh flowers or a houseplant.

2. Satisfy her sweet tooth with some cookies or cupcakes from a local bakery. Then sit and enjoy them with her! Brew a pot of coffee and spend quality time together.

3. When it comes to Grandma, you can never go wrong with photos. She will love displaying a framed picture of her children or grandchildren!

For the mom who has it all:

1. Give her a spa day! Every woman loves to be pampered! Book a massage or a facial at an upscale location. She will not forget it!

2. Take mom out to brunch! Enjoy some avocado toast, mimosas, and celebrate motherhood!

3. Personalized gifts never miss the mark. Give her a monogrammed makeup bag, hand towels, or jewelry case.
