Mother’s Day is coming up, and today I’m sharing my favorite shops and gift ideas to get the mom in your life something special that she will love. As a mom myself, I can totally vouch for the personalized or curated gift- something from the heart made just for her will certainly mean so much!
Mother’s Day is a hard one for me, since my own mum passed away 4 years ago (how is it already 4 years?!), but now that I have my own babies, the day is a little sweeter again. So here are some ideas to make it even more sweet, for any mom in your life. :)
The Expecting Mama. She pretty much has one thing on the mind: HER BABY! So, get her a fun and unique (not to mention beautifully curated!) basket full of fun things for her baby! It’s sure to be a hit. :) I am a big fan of Bonjour Baby Baskets– she has the most beautiful brands in her shop, and you can pick from an already curated basket or create your own, depending on your budget! LOVE that! My favorites are the Little Unicorn swaddles, Rylee & Cru clothes and Maileg stuffed animals.
The Skincare Lover. I recently discoverd Erbaviva and LOVE them! They offer only organic products, and have a variety of gift baskets for different occasions. Getting a new mom (or older mom!) some nice skincare is a lovely reminder to take care of herself as well as her babies, something that is easily put to the wayside. This particular brand is so luxurious, and has something for everyone. Plus the pre-made bundles make it so easy to give as a gift!
The Jewelry Lover. This is a no-brainer and definitely a classic Mother’s Day gift. Put a personal touch on the classic piece of jewelry by engraving it with something special to her- maybe her anniversary date or her children’s initials, like this beautiful necklace from Vintage Stamp Jewels. Something that is meaningful and heartfelt is sure to make her smile, and I guarantee she’ll cherish this piece of jewelry forever.
Pretty little things. In this case, a cute girly nightie and lingerie (husbands, listen up!) are the perfect gift. I love everything I have from Belabumbum– they have anything from pregnancy to nursing to after! Loving this nightie, this robe and this bra. Also have this romper and love it!
The Babywearing Mama. It’s no secret around here that I love wearing my babies! For any mom of a baby/toddler, a baby wrap would make such a good gift! I love my Solly Baby Wraps– they are great quality, easy to wrap (once you get the hang of it!) and the most lightweight carrier out there (and I’ve tried quite a few!). Plus, the variety of prints and colors is amazing. I own the striped, polka dots and grey. See? I told you I’m addicted. ;)
The Sentimental Mom. A photo book is such a fun gift to put together and something that is sure to mean the most to her!
Something Fresh. A beautiful bouquet of flowers to brighten up the house is always welcome. Loving blush roses lately- and Costco is a great place to find them! Chocolate or a bottle of nice wine are always good, too.
Gift card! When all else fails, a gift card to her favorite clothing store is always good! Give her a day to go shopping and really spoil herself silly. She deserves it!
I’ve teamed up with a few of the brands mentioned above to give away a few of my favorite things! One winner per item- meaning more chances to win! :)

I’m taking my mom out to dinner and buying her flowers and giving her a card
We are military and live 12 hours away. So we are surprising them with a trip home before our first little one is due this summer ????????????
Flowers are always a winner
My mom always appreciates a new piece of jewelry, so I think I’ll be looking for a new bracelet for her. Also, a nice brunch on Sunday for just the two of us!! So nice to be able to spend the day with her!!
i got them subscriptions to ‘love with food’ and audible
I’m taking my mother to her favorite restaurant. I also plan on getting her chocolate and coffee.
I just had a baby in January. It’s the first grandchild. We are sending cards to the grandmas from our baby that celebrate them as being a new grandma.
This mothers day I am giving the moms in my life a video of my grandfathers last words to his wife, my aunt, and my mother ( A.K.A. the moms in my life) before he passed away December 24, 2015 to pneumonia!!
follow – paying to tkae my mom to get her hair done :)
For my mom, I’m having a picture of my baby girl taken in a dress that was mine as a baby, duplicating the shot my mom did of me in it 40 years ago.
I am getting my mother in law a necklace with my husbands police badge number on it!
My mom loves fresh roses! And my mother in law loves irises! So I will be getting them both their favorite flowers. :)
I ordered my mom a parent album from my wedding a few months ago. I’m hoping to completely surprise her with it :)
Yayyyy great giveaway! I’m giving my mama a gift card to her favorite gardening store… So simple but it’s all she wants!
My mom (adopted me) is getting this amazing eye cream she wanted, a necklace from my son that says “I love you to the moon and back grandma”, earrings, and her favorite perfume and matching lotion.
My biological mom is getting a necklace and a card.
My nana is getting a card, a gift card, and lunch

I’m taking my mom to Disneyland so we can celebrate Mother’s Day and my son’s birthday!
I am getting my mom a pandora charm!
I follow on Instagram and tagged a friend!
A plant and jewelry!
I’m from Australia but live in Canada, so I’ve sent a card and will have flowers delivered to my mum and I’ll Skype her so she can see her grandkids ☺️
My Mom is coming up to see our new house (we just closed last Friday!!!) and we are taking her to breakfast at our favorite little diner. We live 2 hours apart so we try to make it to see each other as much as possible. We are sending my Mother In Law a “Edible Arrangement”. She told me months ago they were so awesome so I hope she likes it :). This will be my first Mothers Day as a Mommy… so I took off of work and am looking forward to spending it with my little Princess and her Daddy.
This year, I’m getting all of my moms versions of the same thing: personalized, homemade cards with a heartfelt letter thanking them for everything. I got married last summer, so this is my first mother’s day with an official mother in law (or mother-in-love, as she prefers)- I’ll be thanking her for raising the man of my dreams and for sharing him with me. Then my moms (biological and step) will be getting thanks for their tireless efforts at raising me and my siblings.

I’m getting moms a fitbit
I have a modge podge of gifts to giveaway this Mother’s Day, but I’m most proud of the cards my daughter picked out and the handmade soap she made for each of them!
We are doing dinner (which we cook for her) and flowers. She is the most amazing woman! I amrticularly looking forward to this Mother’s Day, as it is my first :)
My mom just moved across the country to be closer to us. So, we will be spending time together! As for the MIL….that’s TBD – oooops! Late to the game this year!
I will be making a shadow box family frame using scrabble tiles!! Sentimental to get the special moms in my life!
My sister and I are both expecting my mom’s first “round” of grandkids in the fall. I’m surprising my sister with a little Mother’s Day for the Mommy to be gift and we’re spoiling our hard-working Mom, soon to be harder-working Grandmommy with a day at the spa.
I’m making the moms in my life essential oil rollers with my favorite blend for sleep/stress relief. I use vetiver, serenity & balance from DoTerra & I sleep like a baby every time I use it. And what mom doesn’t need a good night’s sleep. ;)
I’m taking my mom and SIL out for pedicures! SIL is pregnant with their first and don’t you know when your feet and ankles start getting preggo puffy that a nice foot and ankle massage just makes the world a better place??
My mom is no longer here like your, so it makes Mother’s Day a little harder. My mil lives many states away so I believe I will send some flowers to her. I really don’t have a mother figure but I have gladly excepted my husbands mother to love.
I will give my mom a perfume

Since I recently had a baby and haven’t gotten out much, I decided to make my mom a bunch of little hand lettered cards with poems, quotes, and sweet little phrases I thought of. She always cries when she reads my writing and it never ceases to melt my heart. Since she rarely wants anything but a relaxing day, she ALWAYS enjoys heartfelt cards.
Your mom sounds just like mine. She will cherish those little notes SO MUCH. Love that idea!
I’m getting my Mom a gift card to a salon so she can pamper herself! I also follow on Instagram as Caraelbert.
I just ordered my mom a bracelet with a mom charm from Tiffanys! A little out of my price range but she has done so much for us since our son was born last year. And now we are blessed to be expecting baby #2 and I know she will continue to be there for us.
I bought my mom her gift already, a purse she found and loved. I like to buy her something she really wants. My mother-in-law loves a Barnes and Noble gift card. But, if I win this , they may both get a bonus gift!
