Mom is easily one of the most important people in your life, so it makes sense that you want to spoil her on Mother’s Day. Whether it’s your mother, your mother-in-law, or even your wife and mom to your kids – this is a day to celebrate and recognize all she does and means to you. The problem is that it can be hard to find the “perfect” gift that encapsulates all you want to convey.
To make Mother’s Day gift shopping a bit easier for you this year, we’ve got X easy ideas that will spoil her. They range in price to ensure that all budgets are covered, as we all know it’s not what you spend it’s the thought you put into the gift.
So let’s dive right in and check out some of the easiest ideas you can use this Mother’s Day.
Personalized Jewelry Is Thoughtful and Unique
The first gift that comes to mind for Moms is personalized jewelry. This gift is both thoughtful and unique, as it’s the personal touches that will make it stand out. You could look for a piece with her initials, something that says “Mom”, or even have the item engraved. Some of the best items to personalize are necklace pendants, rings, and bracelets.
Photo Memories Always Put a Smile on Mom’s Face
Moms are known for always carrying around a small collection of photos in their wallets, so you can play into that with a photo-related gift. You can create a photo book of special moments and memories, have prints made and frames, or even make a customized photo calendar or mug. These are the kinds of gifts she’ll want to keep forever.
Fresh Plants Will Make Her Garden Pop
What makes this such a great gift is that it has lasting power, especially if you choose a perennial. Perennials will come back yearly, so she’ll always remember you gifted that plant or shrub to her. If her garden is currently lacking in color and variety, you can opt for annuals instead as they famously come in bright colors like red, yellow, coral, pink, and orange.
Another option in this category is a hanging planter. Be sure to pick one that looks full, contains different plants and flowers, and will work well in her lighting conditions. If you’re unsure of where she will hang it, opt for something that likes partial sun as they tend to be the more forgiving.
Create a DIY Gift Basket
Gift baskets are a great idea for pretty much any occasion, but the problem with the pre-made ones is that the items included may not suit the mom in your life. Instead, why not make one so that you have full control not only of the items but also of the budget?
You can begin by picking a theme, as that makes shopping much simpler. Once you have a theme, find the basket you want to use (it can even be a tote, bin, oversized platter, or decorative bowl) and start filling it.
Meal Delivery Subscription Service
Whether your Mom is responsible for all the cooking in the house or not, it’s always nice to have a meal taken care of. Constantly thinking of meal ideas, shopping for the ingredients, and then finding time to prepare the dish can be exhausting on the best of days. This is why a meal delivery subscription makes perfect sense for Mother’s Day.
Many of these services allow for all kinds of diets and restrictions, simply pick and choose what makes sense for the mom in your life. You can also choose the frequency of delivery and how many meals will be delivered in total. Some come with pre-measured and chopped ingredients, as well as a recipe card so you just follow along at home, whereas other services offer pre-cooked meals that just need re-heating or cooking.
Gift Her the Gift of Being Cozy
Who doesn’t like feeling cozy once in a while? It may even be more than once in a while, it could be what you do daily when you get home from work. So why not treat Mom to gifts that will help her get cozy? Some great ideas can include a plush wrap or shawl, a beautiful luxe throw blanket, high-end slippers, and even a big comfy reading pillow.
Traveling Moms Could Always Use Travel Gear
For mothers who can’t get enough of traveling, it opens the door to all kinds of easy and great ideas. Most travelers are always on the hunt for gear and gadgets that will make traveling easier, more comfortable, more convenient, and more enjoyable. That can range from big-ticket items to smaller things, depending on your budget.
Some great ideas include:
- Inflatable travel pillow and eye mask
- Travel make-up/toiletries bag

Tech Gadgets Could Be Just What Mom Wants
Then there are the techie Moms who love having the latest and greatest gadgets. Because tech is always evolving and improving it seems like the new best thing is constantly being released. For this gift idea, it will help to know what she already has and what she’s been eyeing.
High-End Makeup and/or Skincare Products
High-end makeup and/or skincare products are the kind of thing that many Moms would love but don’t often splurge on for themselves. Far too often they pass it off as “unnecessary” and don’t want to spend that money on something just for them.
If you’re unsure of the products she would like, you could always pick up a gift card for her. Pick a store that sells an array of brands and products so she doesn’t feel limited in her choices. Stores such as Ulta and Sephora are good examples.
Feed Into Her Favorite Hobby
Finally, if the mom in your life has a hobby that she is fond of this is the perfect time to acknowledge that and feed into it. You can gift her supplies, tools, or books about her favorite hobby. If she doesn’t yet have a hobby she likes, maybe it’s time to change that. You can always enrol her in a local introductory or beginner’s class in something she may enjoy.
Some of the hobbies you could find a class for include:
- Beading
- Jewelry making
