Ok ya’ll Mother’s Day is right around the corner and we need to step up our game because Mom deserves as much thought and care as we give to everyone else. And if you are purchasing your own Mother’s Day gifts… well so be it and I hope you get yourself something you love.
So I tried to really think about something lovely to surprise the special Mom in your life because she deserves it. I have several price points for gifts and ideas to bundle things together as well as alternate suggestions that are more budget friendly.
Here goes:
PJ Set. Yes please. New PJs for Spring and Summer are always a great gift. This set isn’t too expensive from J Crew but if Mom prefers pants to shorts, these sets are very affordable and great colors for Spring. I love lightweight cotton so this set from Victoria’s Secret would be my choice or if Mom is a hot sleeper these Soma Cool Nights sets are supposed to help keep her cool.
Slippers. Obviously slippers to go with the pjs- these are lightweight and soft for warmer weather.
Silk Pillowcase. Ok we all know silk pillowcases are better for skincare but they are also better for haircare- less wrinkles and keeps your hair neater while you sleep. Tons of price ranges but I do recommend finding a set that is machine washable.
Dressed in White Candle. To go along with the bedtime/lounge ideas, this candle is very affordable and part of the new Bridal line at Bath and Body Works. I personally love this specific one because it smells like Gucci Flora at a fraction of the price.
Adjustable Tablet Stand. If you have a Mom that loves her Kindle or her iPad or even a phone, this stand is awesome. Use it at bedtime for reading or use it to prop up a device while working out or taking a bath or outside this Spring and Summer. I can see so many uses for something like this.
Page Turner for Kindle. To go along with the tablet stand, this page turner might seem silly but it can be a really great gift idea. You just click the little remote and it turns the Kindle pages for you. Why would you need this? Late night readers, those that need to be hands free- like a nursing mom etc.. Think about it if Mom reads a lot. She might actually love this.
Floral Coasters. Anthro has the most gorgeous coasters and I thought something unique and pretty would be perfect to go along with the tablet accessory recommendations above. Lovely coasters for Moms nightstand or reading nook along with her favorite drink (teas, coffee, wine etc..) would be so thoughtful to bundle it all together.
Stanley Cooler. These new Stanley items are fairly pricey but they are so darn cute and I know the Stanley brand has a chokehold on a lot of people. The new coolers are really fun- I love this vibrant yellow. This is a great gift for a sports mom or a mom that is always outdoors, at the beach, traveling etc.. I drive 3 hours round trip four times a week for sports so I love a fun new cooler to pack snacks and dinner. If you want a more affordable option this checkered soft side cooler is also really fun or this soft pink Igloo cooler is so pretty. Make sure to fill it up with Mom’s favorite snacks and drinks.
Stanley Water Bottle. Ok I am not a Stanley girl but this floral pattern special release for Mother’s Day is the first time I wanted a Stanley water bottle. Pick from the water bottle version or the classic tumbler.
Outdoor Portable Chair. This chair is great for a Mom that is on the go this summer with little ones in particular. I remember spending ages at the pool, parks etc.. and little lightweight chair goes right on the pool edge and I would have used it constantly when my girls were little. It folds up so you can use it anywhere you travel this summer.
Ninja Creami. Something that is practical for the Mom on a fitness journey or the Mom that loves spending time in the kitchen. The Ninja Creami is so popular and an easy way to make custom smoothies, sorbets, ice cream etc… This machine is so popular on Tik Tok to use for Fairlife based ice cream that is low calorie and high protein and a fantastic treat.
And now moving on to my favorite- beauty items.
Gucci Gift Set. I LOVE this fragrance and it is light enough for warmer weather. A beautiful gift for Mom.
Quilted Cosmetic Bag. Just a simple and pretty little cosmetic pouch is perfect to go along with the fragrance set or a few other beauty recs below.
Mineral Powder Sunscreen. Toss this into the little cosmetic pouch so Mom can finish her sunscreen application by dusting on some mineral sunscreen powder. I have this stuff in my car and it is a great second layer of protection against the sun.
Ole Henricksen Lip Treatment. One can never have enough lip products and this seems to be the pick of the moment. This comes in three choices for colors and is supposed to be super hydrating. These tubes are great for summer as they don’t melt like most lip products.
Caudalie Beauty Mist. Last is this lovely spray from Caudalie that I personally adore. It is just a gentle, refreshing mist to use in warmer months that smells heavenly. She can keep this in her car or in the fridge at home.
L’Occitane Body Oil. A lovely body oil is so rich for the summer months and hydrating and this one gets rave reviews. This would be so nice along with gift certificates for massages or pedicures and at this price point not something she probably buys for herself.
I hope you find some ideas to inspire you to treat your Mom this year.
