Mother’s Day is such a special holiday. Whether we are celebrating our birth mom, foster/adopted mom, step-mom, or friends that are moms – motherhood is a beautiful journey and it definitely deserves its own special day.

Sometimes it can be a challenge to find the perfect Mother’s Day gift for that special mom in our life. You’re in good hands because I have a great gift guide for every kind of mom.

1. Best Mom Ever Candle

Isn’t this candle chic and beautiful? I would keep it just for display, honestly! This is a great Mother’s Day gift. It has both design AND function (a gift they will actually use and proudly display on their kitchen island.)

2. Fuzzy Slippers

All moms can appreciate soft and fluffy slippers. Now that we are home more than ever, these are perfect and practical! Personalize it with her name or her initials to give it a nice touch.

3. Factor Meal Subscription

I personally have tried several food delivery companies and my biggest gripe was the amount of time it took to cook the meal (2-3 hours easily). As a new mom, I don’t have the patience to stand in the kitchen for 3 hours. But with Factor, the food is already cooked! All you have to do is pop in the oven or microwave. This is perfect for new moms!

4. Mom Mug

Every mom needs a mug, especially a pretty one! I love this gift idea because it’s simple and useful. This momma will definitely use it whether it’s for her morning coffee, tea, water – whatever she wants!

5. Silk Robe

I am obsessed with pretty robes. Whether this is for your mom or a mom friend, this is a wonderful gift! We can look pretty and be comfortable at the same time.

6. Empathy Wine

Do you know a mom who enjoys a glass of wine? 🍷 Empathy Wine, a startup wine subscription founded by Gary Vaynerchuk (aka “Gary Vee”) and two other co-founders Jon Troutman and Nate Scherotter. The wine comes straight from the farms of California. There are three options to choose from Rose, Red, White. You can give a momma 3 bottles for a total of $60. The subscription is optional so you can just do a one-time purchase, however, if you do select a subscription you’ll save 5%. While mama is at home a lot more now, a nice bottle of wine paired with some Soma Slipper Socks sounds like a nice Mother’s Day to me!

7. Personalized Gift Set

I absolutely adore this gift! I have purchased this now for three different women I know. This gift is so versatile it can also be purchased for birthdays, bridesmaid gifts, and so much more. It’s super chic, it’s personalized, and it’s something that she will definitely remember!

8. Mama Bear Necklace

How cute is this Mama Bear necklace? As you can see there is an empty heart, which is actually a separate necklace for the daughter. Carry a piece of each other everywhere you go. Simple, yet meaningful!

9. Custom Portrait

I am sure you can see a trend here, I just love personalized gifts. It’s something they won’t throw away and it really shows that you put extra thought into the gift. This one is really cool – you can customize everything including skin tone, hair texture, outfits, etc.

10. Shower Steamers

Let me tell you, shower steamers are in right now. My husband gave me these as a stocking stuffer and I absolutely loved them! These little shower bombs are adorable. I actually wanted to stay in the shower just a little longer to soak up all the fragrance. This is a great one that many moms would love!

11. Food Container Lid Organizer

Raise your hand if your Tupperware cabinet looks like an avalanche. We could all use this nifty lid organizer. Seriously, where do all the lids go anyway? It’s a struggle to constantly find the matching lid and container amid all the chaos. Give your mom a nice tool that she will most definitely use! (And get one for yourself too!)

12. Devotional Planner

I love a pretty planner! This is perfect for the mom who wants to grow closer in her relationship with God while also staying organized and achieving her goals!

13. Luxury Bath Bombs

Bath bombs are a household favorite for that mom that loves to wind down in the bathtub. They are super high quality and their fragrance is so refreshing. This is definitely my favorite go-to Mother’s Day gift that sells itself.

14. Target Digital Gift Card

Let’s face it, where else can you get groceries, a Starbucks latte, diapers, and a TV under the same roof? Target is THE place to be for all moms. Did we mention Starbucks? Target offers digital gift cards that you can send directly via email, which is convenient and you don’t have to leave the couch!
