While mom will never turn her nose up at a box of chocolates or a bouquet of flowers for Mother’s Day, perhaps this year is the year to go beyond the traditional, generic staples and find a gift tailored just for her. Show how much you appreciate her by giving a gift she’ll love for years to come. Keep reading to find the gift just right for her (and just right for your budget) with ideas ranging from fresh scented candles, luxurious new bedding, new home decor, and more to remind her of your love for years to come!

We recognize that your mom (or sister, daughter, grandmother, friend, etc.) comes with her own unique desires and preferences which is why we’ve created several categories to peruse to show how well you know her and what she would like. Afterall, Mother’s Day is all about her so make sure your gift reflects her personality!

There’s No Place Like Home

Does the mom in your life prefer to stay home and cozy up with a book or a few close friends? Then bring the gift of Mother’s Day where she prefers to be–home!. Think spring with floral scented candles! Switch out the winter scents of pine and pumpkin pie for auras of orange blossom, roses, jasmine or lemon. Or, bring the gift of nature inside, without the mess and upkeep of the real thing, with a beautiful faux planted pot to brighten up any space.

Still too outdoor themed for Mom? Try a weighted blanket for supreme relaxation and comfort. Pair it with breakfast in bed, and a delivery of hot coffee or tea (with assurance she gets to enjoy it while it’s hot!) and you’ll have Mom smiling in no time.

Outdoor Oasis

Mother’s Day weekend can be busy for everyone with the unofficial start of gardening and landscaping season so don’t forget to provide Mom with an outlet to relax in the sun’s warm glow. If that patio or deck is still bare (or in dire need of an upgrade), consider filling it with a new patio set, loveseat or outdoor fire table. Mother’s Day can last all summer as she gathers with friends and family in a new and improved outdoor seating area!

Not ready for such a splurge? Update your existing set with bright new cushions or outdoor throw pillows. Get creative with colors and themes to fit Mom’s personal style by choosing from solids, patterns, or summer themed prints. If choosing semi-permanent furniture sounds daunting (it can be hard shopping for Mom on such a grand scale), consider a finishing touch for the patio or deck. Add the relaxing sounds of a new wind chime or a trendy candle lantern for an outdoor table. For an added bonus, select a lantern with mosquito repelling powers to keep those pesky bugs away!

Fantastically Functional

If Mom isn’t the type to really enjoy a splurge, give her a gift she can use. Freshen up the kitchen with new hand or dish towels. Or, bring function and comfort together with new sheets for her bed to create a whole new ambience to the bedroom. Afterall, who doesn’t love the feeling of sliding into a fresh, new set of sheets at the end of the day?

Take it a step further and help Mom with the gift of tidiness. Gather kid toys (or the dog’s), books, stuffed animals, blankets and more in new storage baskets. Bamboo, wicker, seagrass, metal or cloth baskets make tidying and organizing easy for kids, and, ahem, spouses, so Mom doesn’t have to. The gift of a cleaner home shouldn’t be just a one day occasion! Find the style that suits the mom in your life, then buy two or three in various sizes to fit the desired space.

Bring Mother’s Day to the Office

Whether Mom works in a traditional office or from home, give her the gift of a more comfortable work space. Even if Mom only uses her desk to pay bills and sort through the mail, let her do it in a new supportive office chair. Keep it simple with traditional comforts like lumbar support and armrests, or provide a whole new experience with heating and cooling systems, in chair massagers, and USB ports to keep her connected. Add a footrest to help Mom maintain good posture and work just became a whole lot more enjoyable!

Heartfelt Handcrafts

If the above ideas just aren’t Mom’s thing or you want to add a little extra something, give the ultimate personalized gift by making something with the kids! Frame a piece of artwork from school, or get started crafting at home to make a truly one of a kind gift. Provide a flower pot or watering can for the kids to decorate, perhaps with their own hand or footprints for particularly young kids, or with paintings of flowers, butterflies, bees or ladybugs for slightly older children. More advanced crafters might enjoy creating a string art wall hanging or a homemade summer themed wreath for the front door. Head online or to a craft store for even more inspiration!

Make Mother’s Day memorable with a gift Mom will treasure for years to come. Think beyond traditional gifts to show how much you care and appreciate all the mom’s in your life!
