No matter how many great ideas you have for Mother's Day—breakfast in bed, a scenic stroll, a quiet staycation, or even a virtual celebration—it's always nice to treat mom to a thoughtful gift.
We know: Mothers can be notoriously hard to buy for, especially when they claim they already have everything. So we've compiled a variety of unique gifts ideas for Mother's Day so you don't have to fall back on the classics (looking at you, flowers and fancy tea).
While there's nothing wrong with giving your mom something practical, consider something a little more meaningful this year: a personalized piece of jewelry (or art!), a book that celebrates the special bond between mothers and daughters, a one-of-a-kind hand towel for your favorite foodie, or even a mailable Meyer lemon tree if she's got a green thumb. And if she tends to be more matter-of-fact than mushy, you might do better with a useful item (think cozy slippers, a DIY paint-by-numbers kit, a dreamy eye mask) or something funny (hello, custom cookie cutters!).
Ahead, 77 totally unique Mother's Day gifts for all the mother figures in your life. Whether it's your mom, sister, grandma, or best friend turned new mom, these gifts will ensure they feel the love.
Flowers are always a tried and tested Mother's Day classic. Why not switch it up a little this year with something much longer-lasting, but just as meaningful? Here's where Venus et Fleur comes in. It provides real roses that last up to a year, giving Mom much longer than a week to admire and appreciate the floral beauty.
This thoughtful gift box for Mother's Day is designed to pamper Mom with a luxurious spa experience at home. Let her enjoy some well-deserved "me time" and indulge in some self-pampering. The ideal gift to send if Mom lives far away.
