Gift guides are in full swing and I’m here for it! I see Etsy, Small Business, Target, Walmart, Amazon, DIY, Eco-friendly gift guides and the range continues and is amazing!

We all know that the holidays are looking very different and those who would usually travel won’t be doing that this year so everyone is purchasing gifts earlier to send off!

Buying gifts for Mom has always been tough for me because my mom is that mom who never wants anything so then I have to think of something outside the box and she ends up loving it!

HERE ARE 15+ BEST THOUGHTFUL GIFTS FOR MOM:

The COMFY

This may be a gift for mom but it is definitely an all-around gift to anyone too! How amazing would it be to have this on with a glass of wine and watching tv at night?!

World’s Greatest Mom Mug

This is always my go-to gift. I love mugs and honestly, I know my mom and I break a few every year so why not replenish?

Cheese Board

This past summer was all about the charcuterie boards and this is just so perfect for a night in or a picnic out!

Continue reading 15+ Best Thoughtful Gifts for Mom…

Apron

I actually need this one for myself! I am guilty of not wearing an apron and I get sauce (especially spaghetti sauce) all over myself. These cute retro aprons are so cute so you can enjoy more of mom’s cooking instead of her clothes getting all the sauce!

Rope Storage Basket

Who can go wrong with cute additions to your home decor?! This cotton rope basket is super cute to throw your slippers in or throw blankets.

Couch Cushions

Homes always need a little sprucing up! Cushions may seem minimal but definitely make a statement.

Diffuser

If you’ve got a mom that loves essential oils, a pretty diffuser may be just what she’s been eyeing!

Continue reading 15+ Best Thoughtful Gifts for Mom…

Kitchen Appliances

You can never really go wrong with kitchen items. I got my mom a food processor last year and she loved it!

Foot Heater

Especially for those who work remotely and have a cold home. Perfect portable heater!

Yoga Mat

Who else gained the 15 lbs since March?! Home workouts are my thing right now and having a pretty yoga mat definitely lifts the spirits!

Spa gift cards

With the past few years being very restrictive, a spa gift card is always nice. This year has been overwhelming to say the least and everyone is allowed to process their emotions differently so a spa gift card is the perfect way to relax!

Restaurant Gift Cards

Does your mom have a favourite coffee shop or lunch place? The next few coffees or lunches are on you! This is especially nice if it’s a small local shop as we want to support smaller businesses as much as we can!

Something Homemade

If you’ve learned or mastered a craft or two, you can make something for your mom! Whether something practical or decorative, it goes a long way when you took your time to create it! Check out post 20+ DIY Mother’s Day Gift Guide for some inspo!

Frozen meals

Frozen meals are so nice to have especially if you’re like me and you just get a little tired of your cooking once in a while! Soups are really nice to have as well as pasta dishes and casseroles and if you’ve got a real busy mama, check out this post on 30+ Healthy and Easy Meal Prep Ideas.

Lessons/Classes

As cheesy as this sounds, time is something that we can never give back so spend as much time as you can with your mama! So, why not do a class together? Spend time together and make new memories! There are tons of lessons and classes that you can try together.

Some class ideas:

-cooking

-pottery

-sewing

-painting

Continue reading 15+ Best Thoughtful Gifts for Mom…

Memberships/Subscriptions

There are some subscriptions out there that cost a few bucks and will go a long way. You can add an extra channel to their cable, magazine subscriptions, gym memberships, streaming subscription, gift box subscriptions or anything local!

Grocery Giftcards

If cooking meals aren’t your thing, picking up your mom’s next grocery bill will be really helpful as well! As much as I love gifts, I do adore grocery gift cards as I know its a super practical gift!

Gift basket

I love making gift baskets! They let you get your creative side out and handpick items you think the receiver would absolutely love. I actually made a Youtube video on how I did my mother’s day ones!

Happy Shopping!

Xo,

Lynn

    These are such lovely ideas! The diffuser is a good idea, as are handmade gifts. I’ve made each family member something handmade this year, including some for my mum, and plan to pair them with some other things to create a gift basket. Thank you for sharing. ?

    • lynnmumbingmejia says
