Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to show the mother in your life how much you appreciate all that she does. But finding the right Mother’s Day gifts for mom can be a challenge. Here are some ideas to help you choose the perfect gift to let her know that you love her.
One Line a Day Journal
Help your mother keep track of her thoughts and memories with a one-line-a-day journal. This is an easy way for her to keep a daily diary without feeling overwhelmed. My husband purchased this journal for me and I’ve loved this low-pressure way to journal!

Sees Chocolates
A classic gift, Sees Chocolates never disappoint. They are a sweet way to show your appreciation and can be enjoyed by the whole family. We’ve given these to mom/grandma for many years! They are always a hit!
Card
A simple card with a heartfelt message can mean a lot to your mother. Take the time to write a thoughtful message and show her how much she means to you. This card is beautiful!
Kids Silhouettes
Do you want to know what I’ve asked my family for this Mother’s Day? Silhouettes of my children’s faces. They sell them in Disneyland, but we were too busy to stop for them when we went last fall. I’d love to memorialize those sweet cheeks while my kids are still young. This is the exact link I sent my husband when I told him what to get me. Ha!
Plants as a Mother’s Day gift
A plant is a beautiful and long-lasting gift that can brighten up any space. Choose a plant that is easy to care for and will thrive in her home. I know right where I’d put this gorgeous plant!
Or, if mom has a green thumb, grab this cute set of fake plants!
Electric Candle Lighter
For the mother who enjoys candles, an electric candle lighter is a useful and safe gift. It eliminates the need for matches or lighters and is easy to use. I got one for Christmas and love it!
Sun Hat
A sun hat is a stylish and practical gift for the summer months. Choose one that suits her taste and provides ample shade. This one is foldable and easy to pack away for a quick trip to the beach.
Bird Feeder
For the nature-loving mother, a bird feeder is a great gift. It will attract a variety of birds to her yard and provide hours of entertainment. The birds on our yard would love this!
Letter Initial Necklace
This initial necklace is a great place to include all of your kids initials for mom. This was my favorite gift from last Mother’s Day. I wear it all the time!
Ice Maker
An ice maker is a practical gift that will be appreciated during the summer months. It will ensure that your mother always has ice on hand for drinks and entertaining. This nugget ice maker is a little more expensive than some others out there, but it makes the smaller ice perfect for drinks!
Handheld Steamer
For the mother who enjoys a neat and tidy home, a handheld steamer is a great gift. It is perfect for removing wrinkles from clothing and freshening up upholstery and curtains. I’ve practically given up using an iron because our handheld steamer is so fantastic!
Coupons as Mother’s Day Gifts for Mom
Create personalized coupons for your mother, offering to do tasks like washing her car, cooking her dinner, or running errands. This is a thoughtful and practical gift that will be appreciated. Not sure you want to design coupons on your own? Grab ours here.
Car Detail
Treat your mother to a professional car detail to make her feel special. It is a practical gift that will leave her car looking like new. Even if you can’t afford a professional car detailing, giving mom some of your own time to clean her car would make all the diference!
Time Alone
Sometimes the best gift is time alone. Give your mother the gift of a relaxing day to herself, free from any responsibilities or distractions.
Candid Pictures of Her with the Kids
Mom’s rarely ever get candid pictures of themselves. Sure, we might snap a few selfies here and there. We might also pay for professional family pictures. But, when candid pictures are taken, they are usually taken by mom. Start taking more candid pictures of mom and surprise her by printing them, or emailing them to her!
Lego Flowers Mother’s Day Gifts for Mom
For the creative mother, a set of Lego flowers to build with her children is a fun and interactive gift. It is a great way to spend quality time together. Our family got this set of Lego Orchid’s and built it for Easter. It was such a fun project to do with our Lego loving kids, but make a beautiful decoration on our shelf!
Gardening Stool
Do you love gardening? We have a set of raised garden beds in our backyard. It’s difficult to kneel all the time, and so my husband picked up a gardening stool to make things easier. I’ve loved it. Get your mom or wife one too!
Paint by Number
A paint-by-number kit is a fun and creative gift that can be enjoyed by mothers of all ages. These are so relaxing, and they have so many different prints! I did a tulip one about a year ago and I loved the process!
Organize Something
Whether it’s her closet, pantry, or garage, organizing something for your mother can be a thoughtful gift. It will save her time and stress and show her that you care.
Handprint Craft Gift
For younger children, a handprint craft gift is a sweet and sentimental way to show their love. From handprint art to painted flowerpots, there are many options to choose from. Read: Easy Mother’s Day Handprint Crafts

What a great article. I love the ice maker idea. I think that’s something that she’d love. I’m also wanting to get my Mom a brand new carpet cleaning for her home. I just know she’d fall in love with her new carpets. Thanks for sharing!
