If You Want To Buy Something For Mom
Finding the perfect Mother’s Day gift can be just as meaningful as crafting something by hand, especially if you lack the time or expertise for DIY projects like cards or crafts. The key is to choose something that resonates with your mom’s interests or necessities.
Here are some thoughtful gift ideas for Mother’s Day:
Plants
Whether your mom adores succulents or orchids, you can never go wrong with plants. They effortlessly liven up any space and serve as a beautiful reminder of your appreciation.
Her Signature Lipstick Shade
This might be a bit tricky, but sneaking into her makeup bag to find her favorite lipstick shade would definitely make for a gift she’ll appreciate. If you’re unsure of her favorite shade, choosing any color you think will complement her would work just as well.
Neck Massager
Moms go through a lot of stress. Giving her a neck massager can make up for any stress you might have caused during your upbringing, offering her relaxation whenever she needs it.
Personalized Jewelry
Personalized jewelry is incredibly popular these days, featuring custom etching, letters, birth flowers, or birthstones. When choosing a personalized piece for her, simply consider her preferred style of jewelry.
Matching Pajamas
A delightful surprise gift idea is getting matching pajamas or a matching shirt for both you and your mom. If you have siblings, they can join in too.
Wear your matching outfits on Mother’s Day and enjoy watching your favorite movies together or go shopping as a family.
Custom Family Portrait
If you're looking to add a personal touch to your gift, consider commissioning an artist to create a custom family portrait that is beautifully framed. It'll be a one-of-a-kind addition to your mom's home decor.
Self-Care Set
Another fantastic gift idea is a personalized self-care set. You can curate it with her favorite moisturizers, lotions, and bath salts.
If your mom adores baths, consider including our Antistress Bundle (3-Pack) or Bath Salts For Her (3-Pack) at Better Bath Better Body. If she hasn't experienced the bliss of bath soaks yet, now might be the perfect opportunity to introduce her to them.
If You Want To Make Something For Mom
If you're feeling crafty or just want to create something special for your mom this Mother's Day, consider making a heartfelt gift that will always remind her of your family and the love you share.
Framed Collage Or Scrapbook
Reminisce your sweetest memories with a collage or a scrapbook. Gather your favorite pictures and arrange them in a fun way that will either make your mom tear up or laugh.
Handwritten Letters
If you have a way with words, consider writing her heartfelt letters that express your love or reminisce about cherished memories. Browse through Mother’s Day prompts for inspiration.
Enhance the experience by using delightful stationery or storing the letters in a mason jar.
Create A Perfume
Instead of simply buying your mom a perfume, consider crafting a custom scent just for her. You could enroll in a perfume-making class or visit a shop where you can blend your own fragrances.
Create something that truly embodies your mom’s unique personality and that she’ll cherish.
Bake Or Cook Her Favorite Meal
Dig into your mom’s recipe book and whip up a cake, cupcakes, or her favorite meal for her special day. Few things are as heartwarming as a homemade dish.
Alternatively, you could make this gift even more special by turning it into a bonding activity—bake or cook together with your mom (but remember, don’t let her do all the hard work!).
If You Want To Make More Memories
What's better than things? Experience. This Mother’s Day, create new memories with your mom. Whether it’s a fun activity or pampering her with relaxing bath soaks at home, the choice is yours to make her day special.
Take Her Shopping
If your budget allows, treat your mom to a shopping spree where she can indulge in things she wouldn't normally buy for herself. It's a guaranteed way to give her something she truly desires, and it's always a blast to go shopping with her!
Wine Tasting
Pick out a few bottles from the store and create a charcuterie board featuring your mom’s favorite cheese. Whether you're pretending to be (or actually are!) wine connoisseurs, take delight in discussing each wine together.
Wine tasting can be a delightful way to connect with your mom this Mother’s Day.
Have A Paint Party
Painting is already a blast, but throw in some wine and music? Now that’s the perfect recipe for a laid-back Mother’s Day evening.
Paint parties are all the rage these days for good reason—they’re a chill way to connect and unwind. Whether you join a class or grab a painting party kit, you’re in for a relaxing time.
Home Spa Experience
Moms deserve a day of pure relaxation this Mother’s Day. Start by drawing her a bath infused with our Deep Relaxation Bath Soak. If she's a new mom, our Postpartum Sitz Bath Soak is perfect for achieving complete relaxation, soothing her body, and calming her mind (as long as it’s doctor-approved!).
Afterward, consider treating her to a massage or a soothing mani-pedi. Alternatively, simply let her soak and unwind on her special day.
There are countless ways to demonstrate your love and appreciation for your mom. Whether you gift her lipstick, prepare dinner, write heartfelt letters, or draw her a bath, no gesture is too modest when it comes from the heart.
Shop here for bath salts that your mom will surely love and be grateful for not just on Mother’s Day but every day.
