As Mother’s Day approaches (May 10th for anyone in my family reading this – nudge nudge!) Mother’s Day gift guides and Mother’s Day Gift Ideas are pretty timely. Now, I confess…I appreciate the kid-made-at-school Mother’s Day artwork (I really do!). However, I have a few ideas of buy-able gifts for Mom which might help you with some Mother’s Day Gift Ideas inspiration…
Aside: every Spring I get an itch to treat myself to something new. I don’t indulge my inner “me-shopper” very often (Moms never do right?!) but around Mother’s Day – I feel pretty justified in a little treat to celebrate my Mom-ness.
Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
- Jewelry represents a memory. I started a tradition every time we go on vacation I treat myself to a necklace. Could be from a street market. Or a tourist shop. Or even an artisan. But I figure – I will wear the piece and will remember a life event. I like the hand stamped pendants at Citrus Silver Jewelry (Canadian! Shop local) for something unique.
- Beauty better. All Moms are rushed for time so something which will make the beauty routine easier is a gift. My hairdryer recently blew out it’s engine (the pun is not lost on me). I have been using the Infiniti PRO by Conair 3Q Styling Tool and it’s faster and better than my old hairdryer. Bonus, it’s super light weight.
- For the Foodie Mom – kitchen gear. A brie baker (I had one and I gave it away – have regretted it ever since), fancy cake pan or Cuisinart Multi-Prep Bowl are not just gear but tools in which a foodie Mom can find her bliss in the kitchen.
- I don’t work out but if I did…sport gear for Mom is a way to show you support her getting active. The Adidas running belt pictured above is super functional (and I would totally even wear it to the playground to keep my keys and phone on me instead of having to haul my bag).
- Mother’s Day gifts don’t have to cost a lot. Flowers, chocolates, wine, or the Flare Beauty Box (Just $9!)
- Pamper Mom. Moms take care of everyone else so a nice Mother’s Day gift is something which pampers Mom. Think: body lotion, massage gift certificate, or as simple as the Be Delectable Decadent Hair & Body Mist Kit (Canadian! Shop local)
And amongst all of these Mother’s Day Gift Ideas – this is my fave…just say…I LOVE YOU MOM. It’s free and is a gift which keeps on giving. 😉
These are great ideas! In the past, I have given my mom a spa GC and yoga mats. This year, I am going to cook her dinner and give her makeup!
