My 10 Favorite Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
This cute, monogrammable zippered jewelry case makes a lovely gift for moms who travel, are often on the go, or need a safe place to store jewelry while working. Made from vegan leather, they are available in several colors and can be customized to include mom’s initials.
These Mystery Date Cards from an Amazon small business, Da Vinci’s Room, do double duty as a gift for mom and her partner. Choose from the “Staying In” or “Going Out” editions, which each offer 52 date ideas and conversation starters for couples to enjoy quality time together and break away from routine while deepening their bond and creating lasting memories.
The faux fur throw blanket from Saranoni is an ideal Mother’s Day gift, offering unparalleled luxury with its soft, lush fabric. I have them practically everywhere around my house! Its extra-large size ensures maximum snuggle potential for cozying up during movie nights or adding a soft touch to any bed or sectional. Even better: By shopping at Saranoni, you’re supporting a family-owned business begun by a mom to help cover her daughter’s medical expenses.
The Staub 3-Piece Ceramic Baking Dish Set makes an excellent gift for moms who love to cook (which, if you’re looking for a gift on my site, I have to assume is true of your mom). With three nesting rectangular dishes in different sizes, it provides options for various culinary needs (I use mine all the time). The glass porcelain-enamel finish in red or navy not only adds a beautiful touch but also ensures high scratch resistance, but what I especially like are the easy-to-grip handles. It’s simply one of the best ceramic bakeware sets you can find!
This slim wooden caddy elevates Mom’s precious bath time with compartments for holding her essentials like a book, tablet, wine, snack, or her phone. Its waterproof and non-slip design is crafted from natural bamboo with elegant wood grain details, providing durability and safety in any bathroom sanctuary.
Begun as a passion project by a new mom, Made by Mary jewelry is a gift you’ll feel good about giving. The Love Disc Necklace offers elegance and personalization. With the options to customize with two initials and a symbol and to choose from two disc sizes, two necklace lengths, and three finishes—sterling silver, gold-filled, or rose gold-filled—it’s a meaningful keepsake that allows moms to carry cherished memories close to their hearts.
Some moms are old-school when it comes to cooking, preferring books to blogs (shocking, I know!). If this describes your mother, this cookbook holder’s slanted design and metal ledge allow easy reading and keep cookbooks securely in place. The natural wooden finish and metallic accents add farmhouse-inspired charm to any kitchen. And if she needs a cookbook to go with it, I might be a little partial to this one!
The portable design of the Resteck Neck and Back Massager makes it a great gift for on-the-go use, whether during road trips, traveling, or at the office, providing Mom with much-needed relaxation wherever she goes. She can choose from several kneading sensations as well as whether to put the heat on or off to make the most of any downtime she has.
9. For the Mom Who Loves Iced Drinks: Scoozee Glass Cups
Whether filled with nourishing smoothies, refreshing iced teas, or decadent coffees, this set of four classy bamboo-lidded glasses with glass sipping straws makes drinks look as good as they taste. And with no plastic in sight, your mom can feel good about serving her latest concoction to friends and family.
You can’t give Mom a fountain of youth, but you can make her feel like a million bucks with these under-eye patches infused with actual gold! They tout anti-aging benefits by preventing wrinkles and sagging skin, while also targeting puffiness and dark circles with hydrating hyaluronic acid. But perhaps the most precious gift is the 20 uninterrupted minutes she gets to spend with her eyes closed while they do their thing.
