Mother’s Day is almost here! This is my first year as a mom of 4, so I’m really excited to celebrate. If you are busy like me though, Mother’s Day may have just crept up on you. I was at brunch on Sunday with my mom and the kids, when it hit me that Mother’s Day is really just days away. Luckily, we were able to snag a brunch reservation for this Sunday. I’ve yet to get Mother’s Day gifts (I know I’m late), but I have ideas. As I started thinking through gifts to give, it got me thinking about gifts I’m sure moms would love to receive. So I figured I would help us all out - moms and gift givers - by compiling this Mother’s Day Gift Guide. Best of all, my curated list is concise and I considered various budgets. So get into the goods below…

top 10 gift ideas

GUCCI OPHIDIA MEDIUM GG TOTE

What woman doesn’t love a designer bag?! And a tote is perfect for moms with minis.

SPA GIFT CARD

Rest, relaxation and pampering is what every mom deserves! Help a mom prioritize self care by treating her to a service or day at the spa. For those in the DMV area, check out Spa on the Hill. For those who aren’t local, check out Woodhouse Day Spa.

FAVORITE THINGS GIFT BASKET

Get creative and show a mom that you listen, care and really know her by creating a gift basket that includes some of her favorites. You can include some of her favorite snacks, that candle that she loves to light, a new bottle of her facial cleanser, a gift card to her favorite lunch spot, and more. With this gift, you’ll get major thoughtfulness points.

MAMA’S DAY OFF

As much as moms love our children, we also love and need our breaks. Gift her with a day off. Pick a date (or let her choose), book her a hotel and tell her she gets to enjoy a staycation on you, and you’ll watch the kids. I guarantee she will cry with tears of gratitude.

A NEW FRAGRANCE

You can never go wrong with a new bottle of perfume, and I mean never! My all-time favorite fragrance is 34% off, and I haven’t worn it in a long while (I think it’s nice to switch up fragrances). So mama might just need to treat myself to this.

PHOTO GIFT

So many of our memories are only on our phones. Help a mom hold onto memories by gifting her with a framed photo, photo album or photo shoot. The framed photo could be from her maternity shoot if she is a new or expecting mom, or it could be a photo of her with her child(ren). The photo album could include special memories over the years of her motherhood journey. The photo shoot could be a special surprise either just for her to get in front of the lens or a session with her and the kids. Lots of photographers offer mini sessions, too which are perfect for capturing photos in a short time frame.

FLOWERS + SWEET TREATS

This is another gift you can’t go wrong with! Us mamas love us some beautiful blooms and some delicious desserts…double win!

WINE SUBSCRIPTION

After a long day of working and mothering, I’m sure most moms want to wind down with a glass of wine. So a wine subscription is perfect for the mom who loves her some wine. I used to have a subscription with Winc, which I found really helpful to try out new wines.

SUPERMOM CULTURE

If you tuned into Buy Black Black Friday, then you may remember the first company I had on last year was Supermom Culture. I love everything this brand stands for and all the hoodies, tees and more that show love to all the supermoms out there. They also currently have a free shipping promotion.

GIFT HER A CLASS

Becoming a mom doesn’t mean you stop dreaming or wanting to explore new things. So gift a mom an opportunity to try something she always said she wanted to. There are so many classes out there from cooking classes at Sur La Table to group candle making classes, fitness classes and so much more. Help a mom avoid the excuses, and give her the push to go after something she’s been putting off. Me personally, I would LOVE to take skating lessons, so I can learn how to do tricks, and to get back into piano classes. Share in the comments below, a class you would love to take.

I hope you find this gift round up helpful, and I hope all the moms reading this have a wonderful Mother’s Day!

Keep glowing!
