Anyone else feel like they end up getting their ladies the same Mother’s Day gift year after year? It’s easy to reach for the staples - flowers, gift certificates, jewelry, sentimental nick nacks, etc. This is especially true if the special lady in your life seems to have everything she needs already! I believe that the secret to finding a perfect gift lies in remembering something they said off-hand once and/or thoughtful observations. Have you noticed that the handbag your stepmom has been using for 50 million years is starting to show signs of wear? Might be nice to get her a new one. When you were at the fair with your wife that one time, did she offhandedly mention that she’d always wanted to ride a horse? Get her a riding lesson somewhere local. Has your grandma complimented your new shoes over a hundred times? Ger her the same pair in a different color. But if you can’t recall anything particular, don’t worry. Here are some unique Mother’s Day gift ideas that will show you put a little extra thought into a personalized pick this year.
10 Meaningful Mother’s Day Gifts That Will Make Your #1 Lady Swoon
Q&A a Day for Moms
The Q&A ‘one line a day’ journals make it effortless to keep track of the little things you don’t want to forget about in motherhood. When full-fledged journaling or keeping up with baby books sounds like a joke, this is an ideal happy-medium. I’ve personally kept mine on my nightstand with a pen so that every night I remember to jot down something memorable about that day. After all, kids say the darnedest things.
Mommy, Mama & ME
Is there more than one mama celebrating Mother’s Day? This book beautifully illustrates and shares the love between same-sex parents and their children.
HelloFresh
Does the mom in your life do all the meal planning and prepping for the fam? That’s a lot on the ol’ mental load. Give her a break and make meals easy with a few weeks (or months) of fresh, healthy, DELICIOUS dinners delivered to the door! HelloFresh has lots of meal and dietary options to choose from. Plus, you can keep the recipes to make your favorite dishes again.
DIY Pamper Kit
Let’s face it, moms have had it rough during the COVID pandemic. They’ve been trying to manage full time working from home, kids needing help with online schooling, household management, entertainment, etc. All the while having little to no opportunities for things that bring levity like date nights, vacations, gym sessions, play groups, etc. If local restrictions don’t allow for a spa day out, bring the spa to her! Put together a kit with things like:
- Bath bombs
- Epsom salts
- Face mask
- Body scrub
- Crystal facial roller
- Scented candle
- Silky pajamas
- Luxurious robe
- Fuzzy slippers or socks
- A book or magazine
- Water bottle with an infuser

A Class or Workshop
You’re never too old to learn something new! If your mom or grandma is one of those ladies that has everything she needs, why not give her the gift of a memorable experience?
