14 Beautiful Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Mother’s Day is this weekend and I have to say, I always have a hard time deciding on THE perfect Mother’s Day gift for my mom.

When we were kids- treating mom to breakfast in bed was the best. Gathering up all her favorite foods, a cup of coffee and handmade card- the hardest part was getting her to stay in bed until it was ready haha.

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

And some moms are easy- a gift card to their favorite is a perfect gift. And then others- are hard to shop for. If you are trying to figure out what to get for those special moms and mom figures this year- here are a few ideas for some last minute gifts- whether you give the gift of you doing something, you order something or put together a little gift basket that she will love- you can’t go wrong with anything that comes from your heart.

14 Gift Ideas

Pamper Day

What mom or grandma wouldn’t love a day of pampering? Check your local salons for specials or give her a gift certificate and surprise her.

Fresh Flowers

One of my favorite gifts – and pretty much every woman I know loves fresh flowers too. Surprise her with a pretty bouquet of her favorites- one that I always love is garden roses. My husband brought home 3 dozen roses from our local Safeway last week and they literally look just like the expensive garden roses. So check your local stores for all the pretty blooms.

Lasting Faux Flowers

A faux arrangement or wreath is perfect for adding that floral touch that will last and last. I am a little partial to one of my favorites – Marseille Meadow wreath-

or the French Market wreath because they are ones that I designed.

French Country Cottage In Bloom

What kind of an author would I be if I didn’t share my books as a perfect gift for mother’s day? Of course, a flower filled book would be a lovely thought for a gift for mom. In Bloom is up for Pre-Order right now.

And if you want something with fast shipping – I have 3 other books that are currently in stock. Click the photos below to shop.

French Press Coffee Set

Always a favorite way to enjoy a cup of coffee- a French press is as pretty as it is useful. Add a couple of charming mugs and box of breakfast biscuits or fresh croissants and fruit for a treat.

For tea lovers- maybe a tea lovers basket full of all kinds of proper tea & biscuit needs.

Think favorite tea, hot water pot, honey and tea stirrers, biscuits and jam.

A New CookBook

Another favorite of mine- a cookbook full of delicious ideas. I love the Half Baked Harvest recipes (with vegetarian modifications) and her cookbooks are beautiful as well.

Bath & Body

Another favorite for me- bath and body products. My daughter got me a body scrub for Christmas one year and I have pretty much requested the same again and again. If you are looking for a ready to go gift set- this one looks like it might be a good one.

Herb Garden

Such a cute idea- I love this little instant herb garden in a wood crate. We actually just made up some herb pots for the kids and even the kids loved getting those instant little gardens- moms and grandma’s would love having one too.

A Pasta Lovers Bowl

I love this gift basket ideas- for this one- gather up some favorite pasta making supplies and place them in a big pasta bowl. This can even coordinate with the veggie pasta maker above. For this one I included pasta sauce, olive oil, pesto and peppers for bread and various pastas for trying different dishes.

Pet Parent Gift Basket

On that same note- a pet parent gift basket full of pet supplies tucked into a pet bed. Note- include a coffee mug & candle for refueling after those sleepless new puppy nights.

Dinner & Chores

I have to say, when the kids come over and offer to help with something that needs to be done- I am pretty darn happy. I love having things get done and even more when I don’t have to worry about doing it. Moms are always busy doing this, that, everything and everything else- so why not give her a gift of having that done for her? If you aren’t close by to cook dinner and tidy up the kitchen- maybe a git of a housekeeper for a couple of months or a handyman or gardener is there perfect fit.

A day with family

Of course mom just really loves to spend some time with the family – and after this past year being so cooped up and not being able to see everyone- just spending a day in the backyard catching up or organizing an all family meet up on zoom might be the best gift of all.

A Blooming Bouquet

I mean… you know I have to include our blooming bouquets. Why not gift mom with a bouquet that will last all year long? There are a few left currently but they are almost sold out- you can shop the pretty in pink collection HERE

Happy Thursday all.
