Heartfelt Gift Ideas for Mother’s Day

Last Updated on May 26, 2023 by Lori

Mother’s Day is just around the corner. Do you give (or receive, or both) gifts on Mother’s Day? We don’t tend to make a big fuss on this holiday, but I do love to give little, thoughtful items to my mom. If you are looking for some fresh ideas, have a look at this gift guide for Mother’s Day.

Many of us, myself included, will not be able to be with our mothers – or children – this year, of course, due to the Corona Virus and accompanying social distancing measures. So, I have made sure everything on this list can all be sent through the mail – some directly from the retailer.

It’s absolutely not the same as spending a leisurely day with mom or gifting her in person! But, it is our reality this year.

Whether you are a gifter or giftee this year,- make sure you take some time to talk to your loved ones via phone, FaceTime, Zoom, or whatever means works best for you. Words and actions are so important, this year more than ever!

Gift Guide for Mother’s Day

These are some of my personal gifting favorites that are easily sent by mail. Distance won’t keep you apart for too much longer.

What I Love About Mom Fill-in-the-Blanks Gift Journal

I gave this exact book to my mother a few years ago, thinking it was just a cute little gift – little did I know, my mother would read it over and over, and laugh and cry each time she found something new! Why?

Because this book provides questions and fill-in-the-blank sentences all about Mom – and you provide the answers!

Be thoughtful in your responses, and this may become one of Mom’s most treasured gifts ever.

CauseBox Subscription Gift Box

Causebox has two goals: to build a community of women who support women, and to help you discover products that are ethical and sustainable. They do this by sending their subscribers a curated box of socially-conscious products each month.

And let me tell you – each item is absolutely wonderful, from soft blankets to handcrafted jewelry to small-batch lotions, and more.

Each box is generally valued at 4-5 times the price, and subscriptions are customizable, so it’s not just a sustainable choice, it’s a smart one, too!

Home Smile Decorative Trinket Dish

My mother wears the same jewelry pieces every day and drops them on her dresser each night. No more lost earrings – I’ll be sending her this darling – and practical – dish this year.

This is absolutely the sweetest little dish your mother will ever use. If not for jewelry – then bath products, glasses, soaps – so many possibilities!

And if you don’t want this particular sentiment, there are several dozen others to choose from – for moms, wives, sisters, friends, and more.

Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Lite Circle Cardi

This gorgeous cardigan is a cult favorite for a reason!

It is quite possibly the softest item of clothing you will ever wear. And that means it’s a perfect gift for moms who will still be sheltering in place for a while.

There is nothing better to take the chill out of the air – outdoors if it’s still cool where you are, or indoors with the air conditioning running this summer.

The California Wine Club Membership

This is the gift for the wine-loving Momma.

Five different membership levels are available and all offer the best wines from small, artisan wineries all over California. Often, batches are too small to be distributed outside of the local area, so you will never see them in your local retailer.

Hand-selected and top quality.
