Mother’s Day is right around the corner on Sunday, May 12th! No more last minute shopping because we have got you covered. We’re rounding up a big list of Mother’s Day gift ideas from the daughter that are all unique. Approved by both the mother and daughter!
Mothers Day Gifts From Daughter
Before we start talking, this is just a reminder that you don’t have to go all out to show how much you appreciate the mothers in your life. All that matters is that they know they are so loved and thanked for all that they do.

Essential Oils
Essential oils are amazing because they are non-toxic but still, produce those yummy smells that candles do.
If you don’t know where to start when it comes to essential oils, start with getting a diffuser and a few oil blends. Here are a few great essential oil brands:
Breakfast In Bed
Mom’s do so much for us, so treat them to breakfast in bed. Make your mom her favorite breakfast or pick her up something from a local restaurant.
To go a step further, add a card, flowers, box of chocolates, and/or a little gift on top of the tray.
Delicate Jewelry
Delicate jewelry is one of our personal favorite gifts to give. It’s a gift that when worn, will always remind you of that person who gifted it to you. Some favorite jewelry brands of ours:
Designer Item’s
Want to go ALL out for Mother’s Day? Treat your mom with a designer item like a pair of shoes, a handbag, a piece of jewelry, etc. Almost all of us have that one item we just dream about having!
If you don’t have the budget to purchase a designer item, you could always give some money to contribute to the fund.
Themed Gift
Does the mom in your life love self-care, working out, reading, loungewear, etc.? Whatever it may be, a themed gift is such an easy and great idea.
Just come up with a theme, get a box, and start filling it. This can also be turned into a really affordable gift idea by adding several inexpensive/small items. Here are a few ideas for you:
- Self-care: silk pillowcase, face mask, candle, robe, bath bomb/salts, a gift certificate for a facial (my fave) or a massage, luxurious lotions, CBD oil (make sure to buy high-quality CBD oil), lavender pillow spray
- Reading: a few books, their favorite snack/treat, a cozy blanket, if they read their books on a Kindle or iPad; get them a gift certificate to buy some books, a pretty bookmark, a reading light (if they read at night)
- Healthy Living: cookbook, a Fitbit or apple watch to track their steps and exercise, water bottle, stainless steel straws, new leggings
- Coffee Lover: frother, a new mug, subscription to a coffee club, a gift card to their favorite coffee place, flavored creamers, collagen peptides to add into their coffee (zero taste and ahhmazing benefits)
Food Subscription
For many of us, life is busy and the last thing we want to think about is what to make for dinner. That’s where a food subscription box comes into play. Delivered right to your doorstep, you don’t have to go to the grocery store and everything is already prepared for you. Here are some food subscriptions:
Personalized Note
Lydia loves to write and every year whether it is my birthday or a special occasion she takes to the time to write out a thoughtful note or card. I treasure these more than anything.
One year Lydia filled a mason jar full of inspirational quotes and words. Such a simple, but thoughtful way to show someone you are thinking of them.
A Gift From Etsy
Etsy has SUCH a great selection when it comes to unique gifts for everyone. If you like giving more thought out and personalized gifts, this one is for you.
We love the idea of a custom portrait whether it’s of your family, pets, house, wedding, couples, children, etc.
Day Out With Your Mom
Mom’s love spending some one on one quality time with their kids. Plan a day to just be present and do something that your mom loves to do.
It could be a day out to lunch and to get a pedicure or going to the movies. Maybe your mom loves clothes but has a hard time knowing what to pair together. Take her shopping and help her pick out an outfit! Speaking from experience, nothing makes me happier than being with my kids.
Gift Card/Gift Certificate
Not the greatest at picking out gifts? Or don’t know if they’ll love it? Then a gift card/gift certificate is the way to go! Here are some ideas for you:
- A gift card to their favorite place to shop: Nordstrom, Sephora, Anthropologie, a local boutique, etc.
- A gift certificate to the spa, get nails done, get a facial, etc.
- Make your own gift certificate for when the mom just needs a break from their life, family, and/or kids
Splurge-Worthy Items
Is there something your mom has been looking at, but just won’t bite the bullet? Think of it as splurge-worthy items that are going to stand the test of time like:
- Designer Items
- Hair Dryer like Dyson’s Supersonic
- A nice robe like Barefoot Dreams
- High-end skincare products
- A blender like Vitamix

- Bottle of perfume
