Mother’s Day Gift Guide
With Mother’s Day approaching, I thought I would compile some different gift ideas for the special mom in your life! Whether it’s your own mother, grandmother, aunt, wife, or friend, Mother’s Day is an excellent holiday to celebrate and thank the Mother figure in your life! I know I certainly used to put my mom through the ringer growing up, so I definitely owe it to her to find the most thoughtful ways possible to show her how thankful I am for her unconditional love.
I’ve rounded up several wonderful options to gift to the Mother figure in your life! Gifts to make her feel comfortable, cherished, and loved in case you find yourself short on ideas to gift to the woman who usually has everything!
Let’s start off with something every woman can enjoy, comfy pajamas! For sleeping or lounging, pajamas are always something fun to gift and can be a great expression of her personality! I own at least half of the pj’s pictured above so I can vouch to their softness, comfiness, and overall quality of pj’s!
The new line of pajamas at Target are so cute, come in so many sizes (including plus sizing), and are in beautiful prints and shirt/pant combinations!
The same can be said for any set from Soma Intimates. I proudly own three pairs of the cool nights pajamas and they are EASILY my favorite pajamas ever. So soft, stretchy and comfy…Soma definitely doesn’t mess around in the pajama game, and what’s not to love about the bright pink/paisley combo or the adorable black and white stripe with the screened tee??
The housedress option is also owned by the Product Junkie, and I am a proud supporter of the mumu/housedress/nightgown life. I bought this nightgown to lounge around in and boy is it comfortable!!! It comes in many colors, has two functional pockets, and is also breastfeeding friendly or a great option for pregnant or new mothers! If you know a Mother that would love a housedress to lounge around or sleep in…THIS is the one.

There are always fun trinket gifts that are great to give to the mother in your life! Most of these that I’ve included are for the home, and who doesn’t love a richly scented candle or a fun serving bowl for the woman who usually has it all!
The Capri Blue Volcano candles are the best candles on the market for a couple reasons.
1. The candle itself smells amazing and the scent has a lot of “throw” while burning. 2. The packaging is always great. Anthropologie by far offers the most when it comes to Capri Blue candle jars, but I personally love this mercury glass one!
This collection of Lily Pulizer candles was just too cute to resist! For the mother you know who may live colorfully or whimsically, these candles would blend perfectly with her scheme of things!
The last two items are perfect for any woman’s kitchen, with a beautiful marble serving board and a fun set of mixing bowls! The serving board is great for any woman who likes to entertain for family or friends, and the Mud Pie bowls are so fun to cook with! I have lots of the Mud Pie collection and I love every single piece. There’s so many options to choose from, so check them out!

Self-care is an important topic that no woman should ever forget about. Luckily, for Mother’s Day you can help your mother or friend, etc. continue on the road of self-care and help her to feel fabulous! I’ve included some wonderful hand creams, skincare sets, and luxurious beauty products for that woman that you know that should spend a little more time on herself!
Firstly is the Mer-Sea & Co. hand creams. My mother loves the smell of her Mer-Sea & Co. body lotion, so these hand creams are sure to be enjoyed by women everywhere! They will smell amazing and soften tired hands.
Second is a Caudalie Glow Set. It includes three amazing Caudaulie products including my tried-and-true Beauty Elixir spray that I love to use everyday to freshen my skin, as well as two other products I would love to try! They are the Vinoperfect Radiance Serum, which is supposed to be even better at brightening your complexion than a normal Vitamin C serum and the Vinosource Moisturizing Cream, which targets free radicals that age the skin.
The third is a liquid lipstick sampling set from Stila. These are great liquid lipsticks, and really have great staying power! It is a set of three universally flattering rose shades, and is a really great deal!
Fourth is the Sephora favorites fragrance set. Perfume is a wonderful option for gifting, and what better than a sampling of Sephora’s best selling fragrances! It’s a great assortment of different scents, and many of them are some of my favorites! It also includes a certificate that she can bring back to the store to exchange for a full size rollerball fragrance! A great deal!
Fifth is a gift set of my favorite tinted lip balms from Fresh Beauty. With five different shades included, there is a shade that your mother is bound to love! I love wearing my Fresh Sugar Balm everyday, and its perfect for the mother that doesn’t like to commit to lipstick!

Lastly are the small, sentimental mom gifts! I found both of the options above from Francesca’s Collections, and what better way to remind your Mother that you love her, than with a cute sign or a picture frame for her to display in her home or office! Francesca’s has plenty of adorable options for personal Mom gifts, so give their website a look-see if that’s the route you like to go when gifting your mom!

Other options I love to give my mother for her special day is a pot or hanging basket of fresh flowers instead of cut stems, that way she can enjoy the blooms all summer long! You can also create photobooks for your mother of pictures including you, grandchildren, or other family and friends for an extremely cherished gift she will enjoy! I love to use Shutterfly for photobooks or you can create a Chatbook easily!
Hopefully this post will bring you some inspiration to get shopping for that cherished mother in your life!
