Unique Mother’s Day Gift Guide Idea’s that She’ll Love

Mother’s Day is such a special holiday.  It is a time where we can celebrate our mother’s, grandmother’s and/or mother-figures.  I put together a unique Mother’s Day gift guide with idea’s that she’ll love.  Hopefully this can spark some inspiration and help you pick out the perfect gift (other than kitchen gifts!). 

I split this list into categories to make it a little easier for you to identify what type of gift would be best. For any mother, fresh flowers are always a win! But it is nice to add a little something extra on that special day. 

For The New Mom 

The best thing to do for the new mom is to make sure mom feels very special.  The new mom has been waiting to celebrate this day for her entire life and the first Mother’s Day gift is important.  A few perfect suggestions for the new mom are heartfelt gift ideas such as:   

Custom photo book of baby’s first year

A piece of jewelry with “mama” engraved on it

Cute gift set of self-care items and coffee cards

Brunch out and a new dress for her first Mother’s Day celebrations

For The Seasoned Mom 

The seasoned mom has several children and has celebrated this holiday a few times.  But, that does not mean that it is any less special.  Now is the perfect time to give this mom the gift of self-care such as: 

Pedicure, manicure, massage, or facial

A date night with her husband 

Make her a cup of coffee in the morning and serve her breakfast in bed.  

The gift of a clean house while she’s away getting her hair done may just be the most meaningful gift you can give her. 

For The Grandma 

Grandma loves thoughtful gifts with meaning. She has spent her entire life thinking of others and now is the time to be thoughtful toward her. A few of the best Mother’s Day gifts for grandma are:

Family photos

​A gardening basket

A special message or Mother’s Day cards from her grandchildren

Gift basket filled with fresh flowers, a sweet book, her favorite chocolate, and a new tea cup

Spending time together, for example, brunch out and shopping

Experience gifts like going to a movie together, concert tickets, or going somewhere she enjoys

For The Special Mother Figure

The perfect present for a special mom figure would be a personalized note that conveys a message as to why she is so special to you.  Along with that, you could include a basket of some of her favorite things.  Whether it is handmade gifts, a photo album of memories you’ve had together, or simply just some beautiful fresh flowers and a thoughtful card.  

My Favorite Unique Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

I wanted to include a list and a few links to some of the best gifts to give on Mother’s Day. 

For a unique gift, take a look at the Starfish Project.  This handcrafted jewelry line is absolutely gorgeous and the profits support a great cause.  All the jewelry is made from women who have escaped from human trafficking and have made a new life.

​For a mom who is trying to buy clean beauty products, I would highly recommend DIME.  Dime is a clean beauty line and I recently tried the sample pack of their perfume.  I loved the scents so much that I told my husband I wanted the full size for Mother’s Day.  My personal favorite is Dans Les Bois® Perfume and Core Memory™ Perfume

Another unique and special gift could be the gift of a family photo session. The gift of a photo session is timeless, meaningful and (most likely) unexpected.

Here are some links that are some great gift ideas for mom (or for you!). I wanted to give you some options and make it easy for you shop. These are affiliate links so I will receive a small commission if purchased through the link.
