May can be a crazy month with the chaos of end of school activities, home projects, and travel plans. But we need to hit pause for one day to celebrate the special mom in our life. With hearts of gold and putting others before themselves, we have gathered a list of ideas to help you honor the special lady in your life.
For your mom or mother-in-law:
1. Upgrade her tired, old loungewear! Chances are, this probably is not on Mom’s priority list. Make her feel luxurious with a fluffy new robe and slippers or silky soft pajamas. Monogramming these items is a nice touch!
2. Make a gift basket with a new study Bible, planner, or journal. Add a cute coffee mug, some pretty pens, and a bookmark. She will think of you every morning during her quiet time!
For your daughter or daughter-in-law:
1. A trendy, personalized necklace that says “Mom” or her children’s initials.
2. A coupon for a day off or a night out! Whether she works inside or outside the home, your daughter will deeply appreciate time to refresh and recharge. Offer to babysit and go the extra mile by booking her a nail appointment, foot massage, or a dinner reservation!
3. A relaxing candle.
For your sister or sister-in-law:
1. Gift a basket of bath bombs, soap, and lotion.
2. Inspire her with a new cookbook, oven mitt and matching apron.
3. A new set of wine glasses and a wine subscription! She will enjoy a glass after the kids are tucked in bed and she is unwinding after a long day of mom life!
For Grandma:
1. Brighten her day with fresh flowers or a houseplant. Go a step further and leave her with a lasting keepsake when you present the flowers in a beautiful container.
2. Satisfy her sweet tooth with cookies from a local bakery displayed on a beautiful platter. Then brew a pot of coffee, poured into a set of beautiful new mugs, and give her the gift of time as you spend the afternoon together.
3. When it comes to Grandma, you can never go wrong with photos. She will love displaying a framed picture of her children or grandchildren!
For the mom who has it all:
1. Give her a spa day! Every woman loves to be pampered! Book a massage or a facial at an upscale location. She will not forget it!
2. Take mom out to brunch! Enjoy some avocado toast, mimosas, and celebrate motherhood!
3. Personalized gifts never miss the mark. Give her a monogrammed makeup bag, hand towels, or jewelry case.
