Spoil Mom with These Amazing Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Mother’s Day is on May 14th this year and it’s a time to celebrate moms for everything that they do. Moms are amazing and are constantly caring for us and feeding us. We should all be showing love and appreciation towards our moms every day but especially on Mother’s Day. 

Take some time to think of a special gift to treat Mom and show her how much you appreciate her. Let her take some time off from “mom duties” and indulge her taste buds with chocolate or pamper her with a day of self-care. Show her how special and deserving she is with some amazing gifts. Below are some Mother’s Day Gift Ideas to show your appreciation and love for Mom.

Make Breakfast in Bed on Mother’s Day

A great way to start off Mother’s Day morning is breakfast in bed. Make some waffles, pancakes, eggs, and fresh fruit for Mom. Serve with hot coffee and iced water with lemon and mom will surely love it. 

Serve with some fresh flowers and a card to brighten up her morning. It’ll be a great way to surprise her early on Mother’s Day. 

Make a Handwritten Mother’s Day Card

In a time of technology and media, handwritten notes and cards make special moments. Make a handwritten card with cardstock, stickers, markers, and photos. She will love the heartfelt thought and care that was put into writing and making the card. 

Treat Mom to a Spa Day

What woman does not like to get pampered and look nice? Take mom out to get a manicure and pedicure. Moms are busy looking after everyone else, cooking, and cleaning. They probably take care of themselves last and a fresh manicure and pedicure will help make her feel nice and special. 

You can also do a spa day at home. Grab some essential/ massage oils and lather on Mom. Give her a nice massage and shoulder rub. Those shoulders and back must be so tired with knots from all the busy work that moms do. 

Treat Mom to a Full Body Massage 

Moms are so busy running around all day and carrying things. They’re carrying their kids, groceries, loads of laundry, and whatnot. This can put a lot of strain on the neck, back, and shoulders causing muscle tightness and knots. Treat mom to a full-body massage. It can be either a deep tissue massage, a relaxing massage with hot stones and scented oils, or a Thai massage. Whichever you choose, let it help get out all those muscle aches and knots. 

Treat Mom to a Nice Facial at the Spa 

Hopefully, mom has a nice skincare routine already going and a facial will help rejuvenate mom. Give her some self-care time and treat her to any kind of facial that is customized to her skin’s needs. An esthetician can tailor a skin regimen based on mom’s needs or she can get a general facial where they will steam, clean, and moisturize mom’s face. Some places may even do lymphatic drainage and unclog some pores. Moms need self-care and getting a facial is a great way to get mom glowing. 

Blow Dry Bar 

Blow dry bars have been an increasingly popular thing because every woman loves to be pampered and feel beautiful. Schedule mom an appointment for a blow dry treatment. They will wash, dry, blow out, and style Mom’s hair. Some blow dry bars will even offer a scalp massage or a deep conditioning hair mask to nourish mom’s hair. She will leave feeling fabulous with her new fresh hair. 

Give Mom a Fresh Bouquet of Flowers on Mother’s Day

Flowers are a wonderful way of saying, “You’re special. I love you.” There are so many different flower bouquets that you can make, buy, or order for mom. 

Mother’s Day lands perfectly in the spring when the flowers are blooming with color and vibrance. There are so many wonderful flowers such as peonies, tulips, lilies, sunflowers, and roses. The list of beautiful bouquets goes on. 

Succulents Arrangements for the Plant Loving Mom

Succulents are a great alternative to flowers if Mom doesn’t like flowers. There are so many different succulent arrangements that you can make, purchase, or order for Mom. They can be arranged in cute pots or glass containers for mom to keep displayed in her kitchen and home. 

You can also make your own succulent arrangement. 

• Find a bowl or planter that you want to use
• Fill the bottom of the planter with rocks for drainage 
• Fill the next layer with succulent soil/ potting mix or soil from your garden 
• Plant your succulents into your planter bowl
• Use a wide variety of different succulents with varying heights, colors, and shapes. This will add definition and character to your succulent bowl 
• Spritz your succulent bowl with water. Succulents don’t need a lot of water. You can use a water sprayer and just spritz some water on your succulents every few days. 
• Succulents prefer staying in warm and dry environments. 

Make a Framed Photo Collage

Develop some of Mom’s favorite moments into photos and put them in a framed collage. She can hang them up around the house or have them next to the nightstand. She will love looking at the memories she’s made as a family.

Bake Mom Some Cookies 

Nothing says love quite like some warm chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven. Or white chocolate macadamia nut cookies if mom prefers that. Find an easy-to-bake recipe online and bake Mom some fresh cookies. I’m sure it’ll be nostalgic for all the times she baked for you.

Clean the House for Mom

I’m sure Mom is tired of having to clean and pick up after everybody else in the home. Let mom rest for a day and do the cleaning for her. Or you can outsource the help and hire someone. Either way, I’m sure Mom will appreciate not having to wash the dishes, do the laundry, or clean for a day. 

Dazzle Mom with Some Sparkly Jewelry

If mom likes something shiny, get her something sparkly like a nice necklace, bracelet, or earrings. Find something that speaks to Mom’s heart and that she’ll appreciate. Your love and appreciation for Mom will sparkle and shine with a statement jewelry piece.

Treat Mom to a Movie or Concert

Is there a new movie out that Mom would love to go see? Treat her to a day date and take her to the movies. Order a bucket of butter popcorn and a Slurpee and enjoy some quality time together. 

Or perhaps Mom wants to see someone in concert? Order her tickets in advance. Music is great therapy for the soul and she can dance the night away. 

Take Mom Wine Tasting for the Day

Wine country in California is beautiful during the springtime. There’s Napa Valley in Northern California, the Central Coast in the middle, and Temecula in Southern California. If mom enjoys drinking wine, take her on a wine-tasting tour for the day. You can buy tickets and spend the day bonding, wine tasting, and eating charcuterie boards. Some wineries also sell food or have food trucks outside so you’re not just drinking all day.

Journaling is a great way for mom to get her thoughts on paper. There are many benefits to journaling such as:
