Mother’s Day is just a few weeks away so I’m getting a head start on brainstorming gift ideas. This will be my second Mother’s Day as a mom myself and, while gifts are always fun, Mother’s Day is about so much more. Being a mom is a wonderful job, but can be a challenging and often overlooked job as well. Mother’s Day is the perfect time to pause and appreciate all the mamas in your life. And it’s also a time to pause and appreciate yourself. I’ve pulled together some of my favorite thoughtful gifts and gestures to shower the mother figures in your life (and yourself) with a little love and luxury this Mother’s Day.
Mother’s Day Gift Guide
- Matching Aprons – A fun new apron is a great gift for the mom that loves to cook. This classic stripe apron and matching kid’s aprons are at the top of my wish list this year.
- Sustainably-Produced Olive Oil – For the chef mama who has too much stuff, olive oil is always good choice. Brightland Olive Oil comes in a beautiful bottle and is consciously crafted and sourced from small family farms in California. I also love supporting small olive oil producers. Long Meadow Ranch and McEvoy Ranch are two of my favorites.
- Monogrammed Tote Bag – You can monogram this classic L.L.Bean Boat and Tote bag with initials, or something like “Nana”, “Grandma”, or “Mom Bag”. I recommend the medium zip-top style.
- Vuori Jogger Pants – I live in the Vuori Performance Jogger . They are so soft and comfortable. Perfect for any busy mom.
- Spa Day – The best Mother’s Day gift I’ve ever given my mom was a spa day for the two of us. We’ve decided to make it a tradition! Choose a spa where you can use all the amenities, even if you just get a pedicure.
- Ethically-Produced Chocolate – I’m pretty sure every mom has a secret chocolate stash. I love Maine’s female-owned Bixby Chocolates (ships nationwide) and Boulder, Colorado-based Chocolove (found in most grocery stores). Both use ethically-sourced cocoa beans and ingredients.
- Flowers in a Monogrammed Vase – Flowers are always an excellent gift. I love to create my own arrangements from the flowers at Trader Joe’s. Make the gift extra special with a monogrammed vase from Mark and Graham. You can also set up a weekly flower delivery subscription with a local florist or CSA.
- Organic Cotton Robe – A new cozy robe is a bit pricier, but the perfect gesture to encourage self-care. For a new mom, my favorite is the organic cotton women’s robe from Goumi with a matching footed onesie. I’ve also heard great things about the Broll and Branch Waffle Robe, the Lake Pajamas Pima Robe, and the Avocado Organic French Terry Robe.
- Mom Mug and Tea – Pair a fun mom mug with a box of tea. This Emma Bridgewater mug is adorable. I also love this mug and this floral mug from Anthropology. Include a box of mint tea or morning herbal tea with the mug.
- Candle – You can’t get more luxurious than a Diptyque candle. These candles are wildly popular for a reason – elegant packaging and smell amazing. But Diptyque is definitely a higher price point. For a slightly more affordable option, my all-time favorite candle is the Floraco Magnolia Mint.
- Blanket – Everyone loves a cozy blanket. My favorite blanket is the Minky Couture Plush Blanket. I’ve also heard great things about Chappywrap.
- Homemade Cookies on a Pretty Platter – Keep it simple with homemade cookies on a cute serving platter.
