22 Gift Ideas for Moms:
Hemp and Epson Salt Bath Bar Soak
This fizzy Epsom Salt bath with magnesium eases tension, melts away stress and relaxes the body in a warm and soothing soak. An added bonus – it’s made of 100% clean ingredients.
Burt’s Bees Travel Size Essentials Kit
If they travel often, make sure their skin stays nourished and moisturized at all times with these 5 mini Burt’s Bees favorites.
Customized Puzzle
These puzzles can be customized with your own photo or art. I love them and think they’re perfect for bringing back great memories with your loved ones. I also really like the design of this Gray Malin one and the message behind this one.
Instant Pot
I’ve been using and loving my Instant Pot for 10 years now. Currently, I only use it as a rice cooker, but there are so many other ways you can use it to prepare meals, especially in the newer versions, including pressure cooking, slow cooking, steaming, sautéing, and warming. If they don’t already own an Instant Pot, I’d highly recommend getting them one.
Fossil Smartwatch
If your mom is always on the go, get them this smartwatch from Fossil. It automatically tracks your fitness goals, heart rate, sleep, cardio level, and other essential health measurements. It also has hundreds of apps from Google Assistant, payments, music, news, social, etc. Plus, with this watch it’s super easy to stay connected, as it gives you notifications for calls, texts, calendar, etc.
Ceramic Essential Oil Diffuser
This hand-crafted, sleekly designed piece of furniture doubles as décor and is perfect for all their diffusing needs. Plus, it’s super easy to clean. Try this lovely essential oil kit to go along with it.
Embroidery Kit
For the crafty mom – give the gift of embroidery, with this fun set. It features 3 beautiful designs as well as instructions and tools to help you create.
Bath Bombs
I adore these vibrantly colored bath bombs, and so do over 2,000 other people, according to Amazon reviews. They smell wonderful and have the best fizz effect in your bath. As a bonus, they are all completely organic products and environment-friendly.
Back and Neck Massager
Another Amazon favorite, this versatile massage pillow has powerful 3-dimensional deep-kneading shiatsu massage nodes that help relax overused and tight muscles. It’s great for practicing some self-care after a long day. For more information, you can read this influencer (and mother’s) unsponsored review of the product here.
Gardening Tools
If they love plants and the great outdoors, then what better gift is there than to let them bring all that into the comfort of their own space? If they’re just starting out, give them this starter kit. If they’ve been into it for a while, gift them this beautifully designed tool kit.
A Candle
As a consumable gift, you’ll be able to enjoy this beautifully scented (and fan favorite!) candle for a long time and have no regrets about throwing the item out when you’re finished. It doesn’t add to your clutter at all.
Insulated Lunch Tote
If the mom in your life is a working one, this one’s for them. This tote is perfect for carrying snacks, drinks, or full meals on the go. Along with its super cute design, it makes the perfect gift.
Trinket Dish
Help the mom in your life keep track of her favorite jewelry items with this ceramic ring dish. Each time she’s getting ready in the morning, she’ll remember just how much she’s loved.
Hair Accessories
Most moms often have their hair tied up in a ponytail or in a bun. Me included. So whenever I can, I love dressing it up a bit with claw clips or these pretty barrettes.
Books
You really can’t mess this one up. Gift them the next book to their favorite series, or the newest book by their favorite author. Or try this classic book collection written by some of the most renowned female authors.
Corelle Dishes
I absolutely love my Corelle dishes. They truly are the best we’ve ever owned. We’ve had them for 15-16 years with almost no broken dishes, and that is with 2 little ones, as well. They come in a variety of elegant designs and they are definitely well worth their price.
Flowers
You can’t go wrong with flowers. Many studies have proven that having flowers in your home can reduce stress and brighten your mood.
Handmade Gifts
It’s not the price of the gift, it’s the thought that goes behind it. A simple, heartfelt card or DIY bath salts can usually make their day better than a $100 present can.
An Experience
Has the mom in your life been talking about trying a new activity, dining at this one restaurant, or checking out a new local attraction? Make her dreams come true by taking her there, or giving her a gift card she can use.
A Planner
One of the best feelings is writing down a task and being able to cross it off as ‘completed.’ A planner makes a wonderful gift because it’s something that can be used everyday, and doesn’t add to your clutter. I think this planner is a really cute one. So is this one. Throw in some pens and highlighters, and mom is all set for a productive year!
Amazon Prime Membership
Amazon Prime is a great minimalist Mother’s Day gift. It doesn’t take up any space and has lots of benefits. These memberships come with a large selection of free music, books and movies. Also, you get two-day free shipping on almost any item you purchase.
Donating to a Charity in their Name
Sometimes the best things aren’t things. You can donate in their honor to a charity that they choose or one you know they love. This is a great gift, especially if the person has some causes they’d love to support that are really dear to their heart. Here are some great charities if you’re interested:
