Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

1. Spa Treatments

Who doesn’t love a relaxing spa treatment?! Depending on your budget, treat mom to either one special treatment or make it a whole day of pampering.

    • Mani-Pedi

Treat Mom to pretty nails in her favorite color. Upgraded services include longer sessions with extra massage or added designs for her nails. Some provide parrafin wax treatments for extra moisturization or salt and sugar scrubs. Your spa may even offer Mom a glass of Champagne.

    • Facial

Set Mom up with a facial for a little pampering this Mother’s Day. She can choose a treatment to best fit her skin needs and leave feeling rejuvenated and ready to take on the world.

    • Massage

How about a massage for the hardworking Mom in your life? Does she like a relaxing Swedish massage or is she in need of a tension reducing deep tissue massage to work out those knots? Hot stone massages are a soothing option and improve circulation. Whatever Mom’s cup of tea is, she’ll be delighted with this thoughtful gift.

3. Jewelry

Does Mom like jewelry? Consider jewelry made with her favorite stone or metal. Maybe a locket with a picture of the kids or family inside is the perfect sweet and classic gift for the mom in your life. A bracelet with charms that mean something special to her is another thoughtful gift and something you can add to for her birthday or Christmas.

4. Pottery Painting

Take Mom to paint pottery. Usually, you choose an already made piece and paint it as you desire. They’ll then throw it in the kiln for you and you pick it up a little later. This is a fun one for the whole family or something Mom can do with a friend when she needs a break.

5. Scented Candles

Get Mom some nice candles this Mother’s Day. A seasonal scent for spring or summer is a great option. Fresh floral scents are great for this time of year or tropical scents are always fun going into summer. Another idea is lemon, which is a classic scent that’ll freshen up any space.

6. Concert Tickets

Does Mom have a favorite band or musician, or does she like a certain style of music?  Does she love country or is rock and roll her thing? Maybe she prefers the symphony or jazz. Whatever her taste in music, treat her to concert tickets or a night at the jazz club.

7. Book by Her Favorite Author

If Mom is a reader? Does she have a favorite author whose books she can’t put down? If so, grab her a book and see if you can get it signed by the author.

8. Body Care Items

Consider treating Mom to some luxurious hand cream or silky foot lotion with spa socks. Perhaps she has a preferred scent and would like some nice body lotion. A pillow spray in an aroma therapy fragrance is also a nice option or even a favorite perfume or fragrant soap.

9. Wine & Paint Night

How about treating Mom to a wine and paint night? These are fun and relaxing whether she’s an artist or not. Canvas and paint are usually provided, and the instructors often do a great job of breaking down the steps to painting your masterpiece. Many ask you to bring your own bottle of wine and some have it for sale. If you’re of an age where you can join her, do so for some good ole fashioned quality time. If not, make sure to send her off with a buddy to enjoy the night with.

10. Adopt a Furry Family Member

Do you have the time, love, patience and financial means to care for a pet? Has Mom been dreaming of a sweet little doggie or kitty friend joining the family? If so, head to a local shelter and rescue a furry critter that’s looking for a family. They’re a big responsibility, so make sure you do your research and are ready for the commitment!

11. Wine Club Membership

If Mom appreciates a nice glass of wine, sign her up for a wine club membership. Even if she’s not a wine connoisseur, a wine club membership is a great way to learn about and try new wines. They’ll often send monthly bottles and even have special member-only events and give discounts on the purchase of additional bottles.

12. Take Over Mom’s Chores for a Week

Give Mom the week off from chores! Set her up in front of her favorite movie or that new book you got her with her feet up and get stared. Divide tasks up amongst the whole family. Take out the trash, fold the laundry, make the dinner, mow the lawn and whatever else she normally does to keep the household afloat and do it with a cheerful attitude the whole week!

13. Flowers

Spoil Mom with her favorite flowers for Mother’s Day this year. The classic gift of flowers can be fresh cut bouquets or potted plants. This is a great gift for any mom, but with all the delivery services out there, it’s an especially great gift when you don’t live close by.

14. Breakfast in Bed on Mother’s Day Morning

Let Mom sleep in and get the family together in the kitchen and put together a nice breakfast for Mom. Try this tasty Strawberry French Toast Bake or her favorite pancakes. Bring it to her on a tray with a handmade card from the family telling her why she’s loved and appreciated.

15. Framed Photo or Photo Book

If Mom has a photo of the family that she just loves, have it printed and put it in a nice frame as a Mother’s Day gift. Consider what size to print, the color of the frame and what space she might like to hang or display it.

Another option is a photo book of the family. Choose photos from a recent trip or a collection of favorite photos over the years. Create a photo book online or add printed photos to an album you think she’d like.
