Gift Ideas For Moms
Maybe its just me, but sometimes I feel like moms can be so hard to shop for.
Whether it’s your mom or your children’s mom, it can be difficult.
They’re always so selfless, thinking of the needs of others before their own. How do you gift her something special that she’ll love? Something that says “thanks for birthing me, raising me and still taking care of me as an adult” or “thanks for growing our baby and taking care of our family so amazingly”.
Well the truth is, I don’t have the answer to that. But, I can help come up with a list of gifts I am sure most moms can appreciate. So whether you are looking for Mother’s Day gift ideas, birthday gifts for mom or Christmas gifts for mom, I got you.
I plan on adding and updating to this list every so often, so make sure to come check back for mom’s birthday, Mother’s Day or mom’s Christmas gift for the real take.
Lastly, just remember one of the most important and best gifts you can give your mom is quality time.
I Want To Hear Your Story Journal
For the mom who likes to write or maybe you just want to know more about how she grew up. Either way she’ll feel special that you would like to know more about her. This is a sweet way to hear more about your moms life and something you (and maybe your kids) can cherish for years. It will ask your mom questions about her childhood, teenage years, big life moments and other stories. This journal comes in both paperback and hardcover.
These cute bracelets are custom made and can be created from one of three different metals; brass, copper and aluminum. What mom wouldn’t love a reminder of her child’s name.
Mother’s Gift Box
This gift box comes in many different styles (variety of mugs and items in the box) and can be the perfect if your mom enjoys the sweet simple things. If you live away from mom and want something pretty to ship over to her, this is the one.
Because I think most of us at some point can relate to this 😂 and hopefully it makes mom laugh too!
Also a plant not included with this planter, so I’d pick a pretty succulent or something. (P.S. This is a small planter, about 2.1 inches tall and 3.25 inches wide).
This is a great gift for new moms and our moms!
It’s cute, comfortable and will one day be vintage or will look vintage depending on the birth year of her first born. (There is also a 90s style version of this shirt I really love the look of personally, just to give you more options for the mom you have in mind.)
Last Minute Gift Ideas For Mom
For some our last minute gift buyers, here are a few ideas that have the quick shipping you need, so get on it!
This particular frame is highly rated and a great way for her to see more photos outside of looking at old photo albums once every 7 or so years. Any mom would love a slideshow of all her favorite memories.
Bonus points, if you help her set it up and add a few of your own photos!
I know you’re probably thinking, “that’s a weird mom gift”. Well hear me out, I got a pair for mom and she loves them. She can listen to music (with high quality sound) at work when there is down time or while outside gardening. She can answer her phone, skip song, play/pause music without taking out her phone. If she decides to fly or go on a train, she is feeling hip with her AirPods watching downloaded Netflix movies.
Pictured is the AirPods but their is also the AirPods Pro, which I am personally love (the spatial audio sounds amazing).
This is a great gift for new moms that she will cherish and look back at happily for years after her baby has grown up!
This kit includes everything you need and more (acrylic paint, a paint brush and a name/date printing kit, if you choose to customize it more)! There are also 14 different frame colors to pick from and the clay is 100% baby safe!
BUT if the clay just kind of seems like a hassle to work with, here is a second adorable option to consider!
I don’t know how my mom was able to manage working all day, then come home and cook dinner for our family. This 9-in-1 Instant Pot will really help mom get time back in her day and give her less dishes to worry about too.
They are literally so easy to use! I like to use mine for fettuccine alfredo (so easy, you literally throw everything in the pot and let it cook itself), as a rice cooker, for hard boiled eggs and more. There are some handy cookbooks you can throw in with this gift too, so she gets the full use of this Instant Pot.
Bonus points if you help teach dad/sibling/kids how to make at least one recipe so mom can have a day off from cooking sometimes.
Pictured here is 6QT Instant Pot but there is also a 3QT Instant Pot which is perfect for up to 3 people.
Keurig K-Mini Single Serve Coffee Maker
Not only will moms love one of the six adorable colors this coffee machine comes in but it brews fresh coffee in minutes and doesn’t take up much counter space!
And I don’t know why I keep saying coffee because she can also get Keurig pods to make teas or hot chocolate too.
