Mother’s Day Gifts That Aren’t Flowers
Last minute gift ideas for Mother’s day
Here you are, in the final stretch of shopping days until the all-important annual Mother’s Day. The search is always tough. There are at least three times a year that you are looking for the perfect gift for this special lady who is probably difficult to shop for - which is why you came across this blog. Mother’s Day shopping is different than Christmas as there is an overabundance of options. Mother’s Day gifts at the store can be more limited and harder to personalize. But I’ve got you covered. Here is a list of Mother’s Day gift ideas that are meant for various interests so you are likely to find something that will score you a win - while meeting your spending goals!
The Fashionista Mother’s Day Gifts.
Velvet, Non-Slip Suit Clothes Hangers
These hangers are great for organizing a wild closet. The neutral tone disappears in a closet of clothes—the velvet grip shirt straps and hug blazers—about $24.00
The necklace is a twist on the popular Kendra Scott design. A simple stone heart fixed to a silver chain. With little hands always reaching up, the fixed stone is more secure so in the event of an accidental tug, Mom won’t have to crawl through a situation to find parts of her necklace—about $60.00
This is the bag all over TikTok and Instagram Reels. Its a great roomy bag for work and for being on the go with kids over the weekend. The medium bag can hold water bottles, a planner and storage bags. This bag costs about $195.00, but there is a dupe bag that you can find for as little as $65.00
The Traveling Mother’s Day Gifts.
Samsonite Freeform Suitecase Collection
A strong and reliable suitcase gives mom one less thing to worry about when traveling. My favorite right now is this suitcase from Samsonite. I don’t have to worry about traveling in bad weather and finding wet clothes before a big meeting. It’s durable and can handle the airport chaos. For my moms who are still nursing, I can’t rave enough about the Sarah Wells Bags. She has the Madeleine Breast Pump Roller Bag that can hold a pump and cooler for an organized trip without needing an additional bag.
Using these tags while traveling are a little bit of reassurance that a bag hasn’t been left at home or on the tarmac. A traveler can see the bag moving from the check-in area out to the plane loading area. Its release from some mental weight that something critical will get lost along the way.
The Self-care-focused Mother’s Day Gifts.
The alternative to the bath bomb. For the mom who don’t take baths or best used when she needs a thinking shower to clear her head.
Skincare Fridge
A skincare fridge is a fantastic addition to a morning routine and extending the life of products. Many times it is suggested that products are kept in a cool place or best used cold. This addition costs about $100.00 and can even hold a small beverage.
The New Mom focused Mother’s Day Gifts.
This is a thoughtful keepsake of those small fingers and toes. Babies turn into toddlers too quickly - said by a mama shifting out of that stage. A kit is priced at about $25.00.
This necklace is a subtle marking of the massive milestone she has taken on. Whether its her first mother’s day or her 45th, this mama will love the opportunity to wear an item like them to remind her of how far she has come and the relationship growth she has had with her babies.
The Working Mom focused Mother’s Day Gifts.
Sarah Wells Lizzy Breast Pump Bag
The Sarah Wells brand has been around for about 10 years. I used my first product of hers when I went back to work after having my son 7 years ago. She stands by her products and really means lifetime warranty. The Lizzy bag is roomy and truly replace multiple bags, for commuting between home and office, or just out for a weekend adventure. This bag is about $100.00 but will be the only bag a mom needs for the use over multiple children.
These lunchboxes are fun and keep food cold well past the standard 12 PM lunchtime. I am a fan of the CalPak dupe found at Target. These bags are large enough to hold lunch, snacks, a water bottle, and an extra container for an early at office breakfast, or late night office dinner. They cost about $20.00. If you are looking to throw in a waterbottle, the Stanley Quencher will certainly be a hit!
I hope these were some great ideas for the last minute Dad, group present searching children, or for a Mom looking for some ideas to spurge on herself. As always, I’m here to help and be there when it seems like the world just doesn’t get it.
