Mother’s Day is this weekend! While I’m a planner at heart and typically have gift lists shared and presents purchased long before a holiday, gathering ideas for Mother’s Day gifts can feel tricky. In the midst of spring sports and end-of-year school activities, finding time to prepare meaningful gifts for the moms in our lives can be challenging (especially when you’re also the mom being celebrated!).
Seeking some inspiration? I’ve listed my Top 10 Ideas for Mother’s Day gifts that blend thoughtfulness with practicality, perfect for the busy mom in your life (including yourself!):
Handwritten Letter or Poem
Sometimes, the simplest gifts are the most meaningful. Write mom a heartfelt letter or poem expressing your love and gratitude for all that she does. It’s a thoughtful gesture that she’ll treasure forever.
Relaxation and Self-Care Package
Moms deserve a little pampering! Put together a self-care package featuring luxurious bath products, scented candles, a cozy robe, and a heartfelt note reminding her to take some well-deserved time for herself.
