50+ good Mother’s Day gift ideas for moms, grandmothers, and mothers-in-law for all budgets in sentimental, beauty, home, and creative gifts.
I pulled together over 50 gift ideas in this Mother’s Day gift guide with some of my favorite things I already own and love (or have gifted before) + gift ideas I’d love to receive myself.
True story: I was born on Mother’s Day, so each year, I like to wink at my mom and say, “You’re welcome.” Totally tongue in cheek, I swear. 😉 After a collective 34 hours of labor between my own two girlies, I have an entirely new appreciation for my mother.

What Moms Really Want for Mother’s Day
I asked thousands of moms in my Instagram stories, “What was the best Mother’s Day gift you ever received?” and “What is the number one thing you would love to receive for Mother’s Day?”
These were some of the answers:
“I just want time with my mom doing things we love for a day without interruptions.”
“A hotel stay away from my kids!”
“Now that I’m older and my kids are busy, I just really want time with them to hang out with me.”
“A house cleaning service!”
“I want no chores, no cooking, just watching TV with lots of snacks and takeout.”
“A spa day fully paid and planned!”
“New patio furniture!”
“An uninterrupted day by the pool.”
“A necklace with my kids’ birthstones.”
“Homemade breakfast and a trip to the nursery to plan my spring/summer annuals with the family.”
“I’d just love professional family photos without any complaints.”
“My college aged son gave me a painting class that we did together.”
“My young adult kids made me a spread of scones, tea sandwiches, tea, and silly hats!”
Almost all of the moms in the poll echoed a similar trend: Moms want time. They want quality time with their loved ones, time to rest, time to create, and time to prioritize their mental and physical health.
So I pulled together these ideas to help you find the perfect gifts for mom or mother figure in your life to provide lots of opportunity for the time moms crave.

Rattan Cooler Bag | Backpack Beach Chair | Walli Case | Folding Ray-ban Sunglasses | 3-Piece Carry-On Luggage Set | Makeup Organizer Travel Bag
For the Travel Mom

Woven Cooler Bag
The cutest insulated cooler bag perfect for the beach! Because mama needs a beach trip.



Cloud 9 Walli Case
I love this phone case I just got last month! It’s been great for travel to keep a little cash handy in the pocket for tipping.

MakeUp Organizer Travel Bag
I’ve searched everywhere for a makeup bag that actually organizes (for under $30), and this is the clear winner. Great for travel or everyday.

Folding Ray-ban Sunglasses
I got these folding sunglasses last year and have been hooked ever since! They are a bit of a splurge but save valuable space in my small purse.

European Linen Pajama Set | Emily Lex Online Watercolor Class | Loop Engage 2 Plus Earplugs | Primally Pure Everything Spray | Ninja SLUSHi Frozen Drink Maker | HT Chocolate Mint Tea
For the Self-Care Mom


Loop Engage 2 Plus Earplugs
Ask any mom, overstimulation is a common problem (raises hand). These take the edge off everyday noise to help you feel calm and focused while clarifying speech for social gatherings, work, and parenting.


Quince European Linen Pajama Set
I’ve become a big fan of this brand – luxe but affordable, eco-friendly, sustainable, breathable, durable, lightweight, and great pjs for summer months ahead.

Primally Pure Everything Spray
This transformed my skin! Soothes and calms, tones, reduces inflammation, infuses hydration, and stimulates healing. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever used on my face.

Ninja SLUSHi Frozen Drink Maker
Now that the weather is warming up, this is the perfect season for it. Great for the mama whose love language is a pina colada.

CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask | Ultra Soft Waffle Robe | Primally Pure Coffee Mask | Cuccio Cuticle Oil | Jolie Skin Filtered Shower Head | Ouai Body Creme
For the Spa Loving Mom

CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask: Series 2
I started light therapy a couple of years ago and was so impressed by my skin’s improvement that I gave a mask to my mom last year. She’s used it ever since and loves it! I’ve witnessed her age spots completely disappear. It’s my favorite 10 minutes of my nightly wind-down routine and it’s greatly improved my fine lines, wrinkles, skin tone, redness, and acne scars. The chin strap on this one provides the best coverage of any others I’ve tried. The series 2 mask also uses 3 clinically proven wavelengths to boost collagen, including new deep-near infrared which penetrates up to 10mm into the skin (deeper than retinol). Use discount code: BLESSERHOUSE for 10% off.

Soft Lightweight Robe
This robe is so soft, lightweight, and absorbent + it’s perfect for spring and summer!

Primally Pure Coffee Mask
Another favorite of mine when mom needs some me-time, especially if she’s a coffee lover. This mask stimulates collagen, repairs sun damage, deeply moisturizes, improves firmness, brightens, tightens, and tones. Plus it smells so good!

Cuccio Cuticle Oil
One little dab on my cuticles before bed each night and my nails are so much stronger and healthier.

Jolie Skin Filtered Showerhead
It’s clinically proven to fight hair-shedding, especially helpful if mom is dealing with postpartum or menopausal hair loss.

Ouai Body Creme
A nice little post-shower ritual that leaves a glowy finish.

Meyer Lemon Tree | Garden Tool Stool | Spoon Handle Herb Garden Markers | Hobnail Planter Pot | The Complete Gardener’s Guide Book | AeroGarden Hydroponic System
For the Gardening Mom

Spoon Handle Herb Garden Markers
If mom’s idea of a good time is a stroll through an antique store, she’ll definitely love these. (I don’t even have an herb garden, and I want them.)

Meyer Lemon Tree
A beautiful tree that can also reward me with homemade limoncello? Sign me up. It’s resilient, easy to care for, disease-resistant, and thrives year-round in all types of growing zones. So even if mom is a beginner gardener, it’s a great gift.


Gardener’s Tool Seat
Especially helpful for Grandma who loves to garden but the garden doesn’t love her joints. This will make her dirt digging tasks easier.


AeroGarden Harvest 2.0
This hydroponic system is great for a gardening-enthusiast grandmother who doesn’t have a yard or can’t get outside much anymore.

Our Place 6-in-1 Wonder Oven | 12-Piece Melamine Dinnerware Set | Rapid Beverage Chiller | Half Baked Harvest Quick & Cozy Cookbook | Beehive Honey Pot | Les Terroirs De Marrakech Olive Oil
For the Hosting Mom


Rapid Beverage Chiller
Whether mom likes wine, beer, or soda, this will chill them to be ready for her to enjoy in 6 minutes or less.

Beehive Honey Jar & Dipper
A sweet way to brighten up mom’s kitchen. (If you attach a card that says, “I’ll always bee your bay-bee” you get extra points.)

Half Baked Harvest Quick & Cozy Cookbook
If you’ve ever tried a Half Baked Harvest recipe, you already know it’s like experiencing a mom’s hug. They always hit the spot when you want comfort food.

Les Terroirs de Marrakech Olive Oil
If mom loves to cook, this is a winner… like a fine wine of olive oils, it’s used by Michelin Star chefs (and claims to have health benefits).

Grandma’s Life Story Journal | Petite Keep Trunk | Four-Leaf Locket | The Two Generation Frame | Our Family Recipes Journal
For the Sentimental Mom

Our Family Recipes Cookbook
Not just a recipe log, this is a journal and memories keepsake that can be passed around the family for generations in honor of its matriarch.

Four-Leaf Locket
A lovely way for mom or grandma to keep her littles close to her heart, especially if she needs extra room for more than one photo.

The Two Generation Collage Frame
Upload your treasured family photos and Framebridge will print, custom frame, personalize, optionally add a mat caption / customizable story pocket, and deliver it for you. So it’s the perfect sentimental idea if your mom or grandma live far away.

Grandma’s Life Story
This 85-page story journal feels expensive (but it’s not) like it came from a luxe stationery boutique, and has a thoughtful design inside to preserve cherished memories. I gifted the travel journal version to my parents last year, and it’s equally beautiful!

Petite Keep Trunk
An upgrade from a typical keepsake box – the design is customizable, heirloom quality, and intentionally designed to curate keepsakes. I love this idea for a new mom who wants to preserve her little ones’ baby items.

Black Wood Cake Stand | SAYSO Cocktail Brew Bags | Initial Knot Bracelet | 2-Piece Oura Ring Stack | Picnic Basket | Marble Book Stand | Bow Baseball Cap
Mom Gifts Under $20

Rattan Picnic Basket
For $19, this basket is boujee! If you give it to mom, you just have to promise you’ll plan a picnic outing to actually use it with her.

Bow Baseball Cap
For the bow-obsessed mom who also loves her yoga pants and Samba sneaks. We know who you are (*raises hand).


Marble Cookbook Stand
This $10 marble stand looks like it came straight out of Crate & Barrel. Great for holding a picture frame as a tabletop easel too.

SAYSO Craft Cocktail Tea Bag Mixer
If mom appreciates a little cocktail or mocktail, she can steep this in vodka and cold water for instant happy hour at home (or skip the booze for an alcohol-free version). There are 7 flavor options. At under $15 for the whole bag, that makes it $1.88 per glass.

2-Pack Oura Ring Stack
If mom already has an Oura ring, this is a pretty accessory to go with it for under $18.

Black Wood Cake Stand
I never would have guessed this was less than $15 at Walmart! Gift it with a big ol’ chocolate cake on top, of course. 😉

Matcha Amazon Kindle Reader | Oura Ring | Jewelry Organizer Box | Blue and White Ceramic Vase | Electric Kettle | Anne Klein Apple Watch Bracelet | Scalloped Marble Tray | Weighted Vest
Last Minute Mom Gifts

Oura Ring
Robert got this last year and absolutely loves how it’s improved his health! So it’s definitely on my wish list to track my stress, health, sleep quality, activity, resting heart rate, etc. It ships overnight from Amazon if you’re in a rush or you can choose same-day pickup if you have a BestBuy location near you.

Jewelry Organizer Box
If mom’s jewelry storage needs an upgrade, this is a good one that’s functional and pretty (and super budget-friendly).

Weighted Vest
Weighted vests are all the rage in women’s health right now, especially recommended for walking. It’s touted to improve posture, balance, strength, endurance, calorie burn, and bone health.

Electric Kettle
If mom enjoys tea or hot cocoa, she will love having one of these in her kitchen.



Scalloped Marble Tray
These come in handy everywhere! For holding perfume on the bathroom counter, jewelry on a nightstand, keys on an entryway table, or a drop-zone on the coffee table. Gift it with a bottle of perfume or jewelry if you want to add a little something extra.

Amazon Kindle
Okay okay, I’m mostly a sucker for the matcha green color. But if mom loves reading, she just might love this too. Lightweight, compact, holds thousands of books, and made for easy reading in any kind of light. And has same-day delivery if you’re in a time crunch.
