Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

“Motherhood is the greatest thing and the hardest thing.”
Ricki Lake

Our family loves to celebrate the little blessings in life. And on Mother’s Day, we love to celebrate the moms in our life! I’m so thankful for my mom and for my mother-in-law. And as a somewhat-new mom, I have such a deeper appreciation for everything then have done and continue to do for us! If you’re looking for inspiration on what to get the mom(s) in your life, here are 10 perfect Mother’s Day gift ideas:

1. A Custom Photo Album :: We make Shutterfly photo books all the time! We make them for trips, events, or just seasons. They make great coffee table books and are always fun to reminisce.
2. A Spa Day :: Who doesn’t love a luxurious spa day? Or if a spa service is out of your price range, create an at-home spa basket!
3. Flowers :: You can buy a bouquet of flowers or buy some plants for her home. We’ve spent a lot of time planting with my boys at our home and it has been so fun to spend the time together and literally watch the flowers grow!
4. Jewelry :: I have a few very sentimental pieces of jewelry that I adore. Last year I gave my mom a few pieces from one of my favorite sustainable brands {Aurate NY – I wear two of their necklaces every day}.
5. An Experience :: In New York we loved finding new Groupon experiences and we have continued giving experiences over the years!
6. A Custom Blanket :: We bought this with my boys faces a couple years ago and it still makes us chuckle every time someone curls up in it. We’ve also had mugs, pjs, robes and other silly things made with my boys faces on them. They always get a chuckle and get more use than we originally expected!
7. Candles :: Did you know your sense of smell is linked more closely with memory than any of your other senses? Give the gift of a candle that may either be linked to a fond memory or may be the background scent of new memories! This candle is currently one of our favorites!
8. Art :: My boys love making art projects and my parent’s home is filled with beautiful pieces of art. I’ve also commissioned artists to create paintings of some of our favorite family memories as gifts.
9. Fancy bedding :: I literally can’t sing enough praise of Cozy Earth bedding. To say they are luxurious and comfortable would be an understatement. Their pjs would also make an amazing gift! {try the code CHLOEBARNOLD40 for 40% off- if it doesn’t work, message Cozy Earth and they can re-activate it for you!}
10. A Meal :: You can either buy a gift card to her favorite restaurant, cook a delicious meal for her, or hire a private chef to come prepare a meal!

Whatever gift you choose, make sure it’s something that reflects her personality and love language! The most important thing is to spend quality time together and make her feel loved and appreciated! Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there!
