While this year might not be the Mother’s Day where you can take your mama out to brunch…you can still shower her with goodies and let her know just how much she is loved.
To make things a breeze for you, I’ve done the hard work for you and crawled the internet for all the delights…someone had to do it, right? 😉
I know I would personally love to receive any one of these things (and so would my mom!).
My suggestion for those wanting to put a creative spin on their gift this year? Create your mama a bespoke Mother’s Day crate or bag with all the things she loves!
Picture this: A lovely woven market bag like the one above overflowing with all of her favorites: beautiful blooms, candles (does she prefer sweet and floral or fresh and crisp?), a dazzling pair of earrings, a snuggly blanket, a new mug, and the fixings for a spa day at home.
You can completely personalize the “gift bag” with her favorite hues, too!
Are you ready to shower your mama with all sorts of love? Let’s dive into the ultimate Mother’s Day Gift Guide!
Gems & Jewels
I adore gems and jewels and have been known to stack bracelets and earrings galore. Here are some of my personal faves that your mama might just fancy!
How cute are these necklaces from Made by Mary? You can order customized pieces, too!
The Gift of Glamping
Mama deserves some “me” time — treat her to the gift of glamping and quality time for a fun getaway!
Whether she loves luxury cabins, rustic treehouses, or creative tiny homes, let her relax, stretch out, and enjoy a night (or three) doing the things she loves most.
Breath in the fresh mountain air and connect with nature in the heart of a forest, while still sleeping in a cozy bed and taking a warm shower.
You get all the wonderful things about camping, with the benefit of modern amenities — that’s what glamping is all about.
Glamping Hub has over 26,000 unique glamping accommodations across the globe — so you can find the coolest places to stay in your area! Or, if you can’t decide, gift your mom a travel gift card to choose her own dream getaway!
Mugs + At-Home Coffee Delights
Does your mom love cappuccinos or lattés? Gift her all the goodies to create her own at home!

Almond Cow “Milk” Maker
I purchased my Almond Cow last year to cut down on waste in my house (all that waste and plastic used in milk packaging)—and it’s been a huge saving grace during this time—but it’s a fantastic product for those that are into alternative milks.
You can use any nut, seed, or grain to make homemade plant-based milk — it makes 5-6 cups of fresh milk at the touch of a button and with no icky preservatives, chemicals or waste!
Use discount code ‘KIERSTEN’ for $20 off any $200+ order from Almond Cow.

Comfy Sneakers
Allbirds Runners
These have become my new favorite sneakers! The Wool Runners are made from superfine merino wool, so they are soft, itch-free, durable and water-resistant on the outside, and comfortable all over (you don’t even need to wear socks). They also have Tree Runners that are more lightweight and “breezier” compared to the warmer wool.

This is the first time I cannot buy a gift for my mother because of lockdown but I make her favorite cake or pizza at home to celebrate Mother’s Day. Thanks for sharing your mother’s day ideas. When the lockdown is over I will definitely buy some gift for my lovely mother.
What a sweet sentiment Preeti!
