Mother’s Day will be here before you know it, which means it’s time to start thinking about gift ideas for all the moms in your life. While all I truly want is to just relax with my kids and husband — think a trip to the farmer’s market, a big breakfast spread or dinner on the patio — I would never turn down a special little gift of gratitude.
Whether you’re looking to treat Mom with something extravagant or something more budget-friendly and sentimental, we rounded up creative and thoughtful gifts for every type of mom this Mother’s Day. Keep scrolling to find the perfect present for your mom, mother-in-law, wife, mom friends or any other mother figure in your life.
For her home
Not to sound like a total sap, but there are few things I cherish more than printed (and framed!) photos of my family. For a sentimental mom, give her this stylish frame with a sweet photo of her kiddos. Simple gifts like this are the ones moms treasure most.
Bursting with the spring-like scents of climbing roses and lily of the valley, this candle will make Mom’s whole house smell like she has a freshly picked bouquet in each room.
If you want to avoid the hassle of picking out a wine Mom will like, gift her a subscription like this one from Woman-Owned Wineries. Whether she’d appreciate a monthly delivery or a less-frequent seasonal box, each shipment contains a curated selection of bottles from a featured female vintner.
Flowers are a classic for a reason. If you can’t be there to spend Mother’s Day with your mom in person, send her a lovely bunch of flowers in uplifting colors, like the ones in this selection from UrbanStems, one of our favorite flower delivery services.
I got one of these for my mom recently and she said it puts off a nice strong scent and adds the coziest ambiance. Not only would this be an unexpected gift for your own mom, but for any mom who wants to enjoy her candles without fear of little hands being around open flames.
A custom silhouette art print of each of my children is a unique gift idea that would absolutely send me into a fit of tears. Silhouettes are timeless, thoughtful presents that capture the sweet innocence of childhood and can be passed down through generations.
Such a beautiful stand to display her favorite confectionaries and latest home-baked creations! The textured, rose-colored glass looks will look lovely perched on her countertop. Present it to mom with a stack of hot doughnuts for a two-in-one Mother’s Day treat.

Most moms want nothing more than quality time with their nearest and dearest, but having a decadent breakfast spread with your kiddos takes a Mother’s Day gathering to the next level. Make sure to ship this one ahead of time since the pastries need to thaw for eight hours before serving.
Looking for a real tear-jerker gift? Preserve one of her most cherished family recipes on a quaint little dish towel for an everyday reminder of her loved one.

Because you know we moms love our robes. This one looks very inviting and like the perfect weight for year-round use.
