I’ve said this before, but I really, really love Mother’s Day. Maybe it’s because it’s the only holiday that doesn’t involve a huge amount of work for me…wait, that’s definitely a huge part of it. I also love celebrating my motherhood, and I always get to take a nap. Any holiday that involves me taking a nap is a good holiday.
I know Mother’s Day shopping can be kind of daunting though, because how do you say, “hey mom, thanks for making a huge sacrifice so I could be born, and then raising me and loving me all those years while I whined and cried at you.” Or for a husband, how do you say “thank you for bearing my children, here’s a sweater…” I mean, it’s tricky, right? Nothing feels like “enough.” So for me, I like to give/get gifts that are thoughtful. Things that revolve around helping mom pamper herself, or something special or meaningful. Here’s a round-up with 9 awesome gift ideas for Mother’s Day.
Mama Ring: I really love this sweet little ring, isn’t it a fun? I love it for an everyday right hand ring.
Cozy throw: I love a good cozy throw, (seriously they’re in every room of my house) and the fleece ones are my favorite, because they are the softest. I love this soft pink one, it’s so pretty.
Kate Spade Initial Necklace: I have this necklace and it’s my favorite. I wear it every day.
Robe: I know I’m not alone when I say that every mom/woman needs a beautiful cozy robe. I love this white one because it’s soft and pretty and it has pockets.
Self Care Book: are you sensing a theme yet? I love emphasizing self-care with my Mother’s Day gifts because my own mom is so self-sacrificing, always thinks of herself last and self-care is so, so important especially for moms. I love this little book because it has so many lovely little ideas for taking care of yourself. I just think it’s the perfect sweet little book for any mom.
Pajama Set: This pretty pajama set is the softest thing you will ever wear. I started buying myself soft/pretty pajamas sets a couple years ago, and I am amazed how nice it felt. Before that it was all old t-shirts and ripped sweats, but pretty pj’s feel like such a little luxury and I don’t know why, but I feel like I sleep better in them.
Volcano candle: This is one of my all-time favorite candles. (you know, besides the pumpkin ones from Walmart, lol). This one smells amazing (like the inside of Anthropologie) and I think the glass is so pretty. I love burning candles year-round and this is a good year-round scent. Not too seasonal at all.
Tula Kefir recovery mask: I just started using this mask a few weeks ago and I am obsessed! It is the best probiotic mask, and I love that when you’re done, you just rub the excess into your skin for extra moisture. Love.
Quote sign: a beautiful quote sign just feels so special and thoughtful. I love this brand because they’re handmade and just lovely. This is one of my all-time favorite quotes and so perfect for mother’s day.
