10 Mother’s Day Gifts That Your Mom Will Love

With Mother’s Day fast approaching, we have the same question this year we have every year. What do you get someone so special to you? How do you show Mom how much she means to you? We’re all looking for some more creature comforts in these ever-changing times, and moms are no exception. So here are a few ideas for Mother’s Day gifts to make Mom feel as special as she is.

10 Mother’s Day Gifts That Your Mom Will Love

1.   Weighted blanket

What mom wouldn’t love getting a cozy blanket for a present? Weighted blankets are even better because they provide the added benefit of soothing anxiety, improving sleep, and even easing the symptoms of restless leg syndrome. These comfy helpers are great for a hard-working mom who needs a little me time.

2.   Amish rocking chair

Rocking chairs are more than just lovely pieces of furniture your mom will adore. They’re also highly therapeutic. They promote endorphins and help manage chronic pain. So why go for an Amish rocking chair instead of other kinds?

Amish rocking chairs are built from durable hardwood, allowing them to be used either inside or outside, without Mom having to worry about the weather wearing them down. Plus, that stately wood is ever-stylish, making Amish rocking chairs a perfect, long-lasting addition to the home.

3.   Moka pot

Speaking of stylish, a Moka pot is an unbeatably sleek addition to your mom’s kitchen. Sure, you could get your mom a simple coffee maker, but she’ll love all that she can make with a Moka pot, from lattes to cappuccinos, all without the hassle of a giant espresso machine.

In addition, high-quality Moka pots can last for decades, so this is a gift that keeps on giving year after year.

4.   Cloud pillow

Your mom needs a good night’s sleep, and a cloud pillow can help her get it. These memory foam pillows can provide extra comfort at night, cradling your mom’s head with cloud-like care. You may want to double-check with your mom about how she sleeps. Back sleepers, side sleepers, and stomach sleepers can benefit from cloud pillows.

5.   A “Me Fund” just for her

Moms do so much for us, but they also spend so much for their kids. It’s expensive to raise a child, and unfortunately, it gets more and more expensive year after year. Moms are used to sacrificing to ensure that their kids are comfortable and happy. Couple that with the fact that women are still making less than men today, and it becomes easy to see why moms don’t often have a lot of money they can spend on themselves. A “Me Fund” gives your mom free rein to spend on herself, whether going on that vacation she’s been wanting to go on for years or indulging in her first-ever spa day. The only rule for a Me Fund is that she has to spend it on something just for her.

6.   A natural bathtub caddy (complete with all her natural bath needs)

A bath is the perfect unwind time, so give Mom everything she needs to have the ultimate bath for relaxation. A bathtub caddy filled with natural bath and body products gives your mom the space for a good book (or her iPad for a little Netflix binging), a glass of wine or a cup of tea, and a soothing candle. Don’t forget to complete this gift by providing her drink of choice and either a big container of bath bombs or a whole lot of bubble baths.

7.   A subscription to a meal delivery service

Some of our moms could give Bobby Flay a run for his money, but other moms would rather stay out of the kitchen. If your mom falls into the second category, try giving her a subscription to a meal delivery service. There are plenty to choose from, which can help you pick out the best one for her.

Would she rather never cook at all?

Go for one with pre-prepared meals so that all she has to do is warm it up when she’s ready to eat. Or maybe she still likes to cook a bit. You could get her a subscription to a service with meal kits, where everything is already properly portioned for her, and the directions are right there. A meal delivery service can take the stress out of mealtime.

8.   A subscription to a self-care app

Moms need me time, but sometimes they need a little encouragement to take it. Plenty of apps designed for self-care are available today, from ones filled with guided meditations to others that come with wellness coaches. A subscription to a self-care app is a gift that allows a mom to focus on herself, something that moms don’t often get to do.

9.   A subscription to a craft kit delivery service

As we get older, we must learn new skills. Crafting keeps our brains sharp, helps us deal with stress, and allows us to do something both fun and productive. If your mom enjoys taking on new projects and has a creative mind, get her a subscription to a service that delivers monthly crafts. Some of these services have many different creative hobbies that she could learn. Or, if she loves a particular hobby, like crocheting or embroidering, you could buy her a subscription service dedicated to her favorite craft.

10.        Tickets or a gift card to something that you can do together

Especially if you no longer live at home, an excellent gift for Mom would be something that allows you to have quality time together. Think back to your childhood. What’s something that you used to do together that maybe you haven’t done in a long time?

For example, was your mom a huge basketball fan, and she used to take you to games with her? Buy two tickets so that you can make memories at the arena again.

Or maybe you used to go to a specific shop to make ceramics together. Buy her a gift card for the two of you to get crafty again. The most important thing, though, is you make time to fulfill these gifts. That’s the biggest and best part of the present.

Moms do so much for us, so their Mother’s Day gift should be all about them and show them just how much they mean to us. From cozy comforts to services that make their lives easier, these presents make moms feel loved, cared for, and supported. So no matter what you give your mom, make sure it comes from the heart.

And remember that sometimes the best gift is simply reminding her how much you love her and love being with her!
