For the Mom with a Green Thumb:
Spoil the plant-loving mom with tools, accessories, and beautiful additions that will help her garden flourish and bring her joy.
- Beautiful solar lanterns that can be used outside and are waterproof. The designs are so breathtaking. They have many nature themes like the hummingbirds or sunflowers.
- After taking care of her garden, mum deserves a nice hand massager to help her destress and relax her hands.
- If she’s spending long hours in her garden, she needs to protect her knees, get mom a versatile kneeling pad that can also double as a chair. It’s thick and soft, and comes with two pockets to put tools in.
- Upgrade mama’s gardening tools with this decked out green tote organizer that comes with all the necessary tools she needs for her garden, or get her this purple floral gardening tool box which also has all the tools she needs.
- For beginner gardeners or those who want to start out, get her a this simple herb kit, or bonsai tree kit. Perfect for indoor and smaller spaces.
- Help mum expand her garden with a variety of seeds, we love this chic grow your own kit, with 72 seeds for flowers, herbs and vegetable. If mom prefers specific seeds go for these non-gmo and usa made 15 herb seeds, or 35 variety survival vegetable seeds. Get what mom likes to plant more of, and its a fun gift for more variety.
- Is mom a big fan of cooking with herbs, and fresh ingredients? Consider spoiling her with an indoor garden hydroponic system. It has room for 6 plants, and it can be for herbs, veggies or even flowers. Best part is it doesn’t take up much space, and can sit right on her kitchen counter.
For the Mom Who Loves to Get Lost in a Good Book (or Wants To!):
Treat the mom who cherishes her reading time (or wants to discover the magic of books!) with gifts that make every page-turn even more enjoyable.
- Gift mom some of the most popular fantasy/romantasy book series: A court of throne and roses, Throne of Glass or Fourth Wing. Whichever set you gift just know she will love them and fall in love with the characters and world they create. ( I love all of these!)
- The ambience and vibes is everything for a reader, gift her a beautiful candle, or a candle warmer lamp. She can enjoy while reading.
- Get cozy with these kindle or tablet pillow holders, for a more cutesy vibe get her this pink one, or get this bean bag one. No more holding up your ipad or kindle while reading. Get even more hands off with this kindle/tablet remote control, yep it can flip the pages for you.
- A spoil and splurge gift for mom and get her the latest kindle paperwhite! It’s the fastest kindle, and a battery that lasts for weeks! If she’s already got one then consider giving her a kindle unlimited subscription. You can gift her for 6 mos, 12 mos, or 24 mos.
- If she’s been an avid reader, gift her a beautiful reading journal. It’s fun to track the books you’ve read and your first impressions, and reviews. Its easy to lose count when you love to read.
- Some little accessories or gift ideas could be a clip on light for her books, or some of these beautiful van gogh bookmarks.
- Maybe she’s not the biggest fan of reading but she still wants to give audiobooks a chance, gift her an audible subscription. She can listen to an unlimited library of audiobooks, podcasts, and originals.
For the Mom Who Deserves Pampering:
Indulge Mom with luxurious skincare treats that will make her feel radiant and cherished.
- Mini luxury skincare sets are such a fun gift for mom. I selected one from Tatcha hydrates, Caudalie which brightens the skin, One skin helps with skin longevity, and Dr. Jart for redness. Depending on mom’s skin type and needs pick accordingly. They are also travel friendly. If you’re not sure, opt for Tatcha since it helps hydrate lips and face.
- Treat mom to soothing skincare made from undaria algea from OSEA. The duo with the body oil, and anti-aging body balm, will calm her skin, and feel like she’s at the spa. If you’re not sure she’ll like it, you can always gift her the 4 piece bodycare set with the vegan pouch (which is great if mom travels often).
- Who doesn’t love a good guasha, the skin gym guasha set with the face oil. Is a fun way for mom to incorporate and reap the rewards of guasha for circulation and skin rejuvenation.
- You cannot go wrong with gifting mom Tatcha Dewy to plump up skin, or the Tatcha water cream for hydration. It’s luxurious and feels amazing!
For the Mom Who Appreciates a Personal Touch:
Show your love and creativity with heartfelt DIY gifts that come straight from the heart.
- Create hand print art with the kiddos, this makes a fun activity to make for mom or with mom. This flower bouquet kit comes with the flower design, frames, and ink pads. Another simple keepsake would be this handprint art kit this also comes with all the paint, and supplies.
- Another kid friendly activity get together with the kids and fill in this easy What I love about mom book. This would be so cute to actually make this a yearly tradition with the kids, making sure to date the age of the kids, and the year in the book.
- If you want a bit more time consuming gifts that she would love. Take your time to create a photo scrapbook, get the kids to help draw, sticker, or decorate pages. Print out photos with a portable printer that can turn photos into stickers, so its easier to stick. Leave some blank pages for her to add more memories.
- For the mom who loves to cook, or loves to preserve family recipes, gift her a personalized wooden recipe book. You can customize it, and chose the design. If you have the time, you can actually collect different family recipes and put them in there.
- These flower legos are so beautiful, it would be fun to actually throw a mothers day where the kids, mom and everyone can build these together. I chose the white orchid or peach orchid designs, but they have a variety to choose from. The ones I picked are chic, and will last forever.
- Another wonderful keepsake idea is the moms life story book. It has 250+ question prompts. It would be fun to do together, or let her fill it up on her own and pass it down to the family.
- If you like to get more artsy crafty you can make a hand mold for mum or with her. And another one for kids, have them decorate these handmade mandala window clings.
For the Tech-Loving Mom:
Delight the mom who embraces the latest gadgets and innovations with gifts that blend technology and convenience.
- This is such a practical gift but if mom doesn’t have one. Gift her a ring doorbell camera. These days everyone should have one at home for safety reasons, and just in case.Some more practical home items would be the newest amazon echo show that has a screen. And a wireless 3-in-1 charger for her phone, airpods, etc.
- If mom is always listening to music, gift her beats headphones or a portable JBL speaker she can take anywhere with her. If she’s also a singing super star this Karaoke machine will be something she loves and uses too
- Spend quality time with mom, have movie nights, or tv show marathons together. And gift her the portable projector. It comes with the screen!
- Stay connected with mom through digital picture frames. Even if you’re far away you can update mom’s frame from an app. You can also get one that she can share photos with you too. They’re easy to set up, and great quality. The frameo and aura are the most popular frame options. Not sure which to get? Read our comparison guide on the two frames.
- Does mom misplace stuff all the time? Or she just wants to play it safe. Gift her some tile trackers, or air tags. The airtags also have leather keychains for them, the sunflower and orange are so cute. She can put them in her bag, her wallet, anything she may misplace this is great.
For the Mom Who Deserves to Unwind:
Help Mom create her own sanctuary of calm with gifts that encourage relaxation and well-being.
- Sometimes moms just need peaceful hobbies, and coloring is one of them. Get her the relaxing design one, (very yen) or if she’s a mama with a sense of humor, get her the swearing coloring book. They both come with markers so she doesn’t need to go out and buy some.
- For a more cozy gift these ugg slippers are so soft, and chic.
- Give mom gifts that help improve sleep, like a weighted blanket, or a drowsy silk sleep mask. Trust me she will love them, and you can choose her favorite color for them. An essential oil diffuser is also perfect for sleep, or anywhere in the house that needs some good smells.
- This is probably the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while, and its the eye massager that is voice activated, okay and it can do heat and cooling. If she’s got knots and tension this shiatsu back and neck messager is going to be a god send.
- For the mom who loves to do some at home skincare would love a face steamer, it opens up pores, or this stainless steel face roller and guasha set.
- Create a relaxing bath experience and give her this useful bamboo bathtub tray. She can put her books, tablets, snacks on it and really enjoy her time alone.
