Special Mother's Day Gift Ideas for Mom

Mother’s Day in the United States is on the second Sunday of May and is a special time to honor the moms in your life; it’s common to show your appreciation for mamas with Mother’s Day presents. Here are some of our favorite gift ideas for mom.

Photo Gifts

Mom with kids of any age will love presents that honor their children or grandchildren. Photographs are a sure hit and many companies offer photo gift options, including canvas prints, kitchenware and decor, photo books, tote bags, puzzles, or even custom smartphone covers.

Personalized Accessories & One of a Kind Gifts

Mamas will also appreciate personalized Mother’s Day gifts that have a more subtle nod to their children and grandchildren. Customized jewelry with kids’ names, Initials, astrological signs, or birthstones is a great Mother’s Day gift that Mom will enjoy every day of the year. Don’t forget that mamas also love receiving gifts made by the children. There are lots of fun DIY art projects with kids hands and footprints that add a creative touch and also memorialize her kiddo’s size at a certain age and time.

Experiences for Mom

A big part of mothering is taking care of little ones. Mom could benefit from taking a break from all of the many responsibilities on her plate. Take Mom out for brunch or make a special meal for her - breakfast in bed is a special treat that can start Mother’s Day off on the right foot. Mom will likely love some extra rest and relaxation - especially if her baby or toddler keeps her up at night by constantly climbing out of the crib! Consider giving mama a bit of pampering with a massage, facial, or other spa service. Or, take the kids out and give Mom time for herself at home.

Lighten Mom’s Load

Reducing Mom’s stress is another angle to consider for thoughtful Mother’s Day gifts. Little Grounders’ climb-resistant sleepwear gives mom peace of mind that her baby or toddler will remain safely in the crib during rest times. If her little one has a hard time sleeping, which in turn keeps Mom up at night, give the gift of a professional sleep guru consultation to help get everyone to a more restful state of being. All moms appreciate a helping hand and hiring someone to give her a  break from routine responsibilities is another stress-reducing gift option. Ideas include a professional organizer, personal chef, housecleaner, or dog walker.

Proven Favorites for Mom

You don’t need to overthink it too much. Mother’s Day, by its very nature, is a yearly tradition. If a prior year’s Mother’s Day gift was very well-received, maybe it bears repeating. For example, flowers never go out of style and Mom may look forward to getting an annual gift certificate for her favorite store or restaurant.

No matter which Mother’s Day gift you choose for mom, when you give it with sincere heartfelt appreciation for all of the amazing things she does, Mom is sure to love it!

A Little Love,

Little Grounders
