5 Meaningful Mother’s Day Gifts

The women in your life play an important part in supporting you and your family, bringing joy to your day, and always being a source of love. That said, there’s a lot of pressure when it comes to selecting the perfect gift to show them how much you love and appreciate them, especially on Mother’s Day. 

Whether you’re shopping for your mom, wife, your mother-in-law, grandma, or another special woman in your life, finding the perfect Mother’s Day gift can be stressful. But not this year— our 2020 Mother’s Day gift guide will make shopping for every lady on your list a breeze. Start with these 5 ideas for inspiration: 

Hand-Painted Wine Glasses

If your wife is an aspiring sommelier, get a gift that suits her hobbies like a pair of beautifully hand-painted wine glasses. Need some design ideas, start with these: 

*Artsy: A floral pattern, watercolor design, or abstract shapes.  

*Sentimental: “Best Wife Ever”, a romantic quote, or an engraving of her initials. 

*Humorous: “Mom Juice”, “It’s Mom’s Turn to Wine”, or “Mommy’s Sippy Cup”. 

Pair them with a nice bottle of her favorite wine or other accessories to really make a big impression. 

Photo Mug

Custom coffee mugs are a classic gift that never goes out of style, especially with how far they’ve come in recent years due to new technology. With crystal-clear photo technology, full-color designs, and tons of ways to customize coffee cups, you can create something truly unique.

Giving a photo mug to mom or grandma with a photo of you and your siblings or a cute group picture of their grandkids is sure to get their day off to a great start as they sip their morning coffee from their favorite mug.

Book Club Membership 

Need to tighten the bond between you and your mother-in-law? We have just what you need to open up dialogue and create a fun weekly or monthly tradition for you two to do together—book club! The best part is that you don’t even have to go to meetings if you don’t want to, in the digital age there are plenty of online book clubs that allow you to get recommendations and build an online community from the comfort of your own home.

With a book club membership, they’ll even do the groundwork for you and give you options for books to choose from. Buy her (and yourself) a subscription and you two can alternate who chooses the book each month.

Mother-Daughter Matching Rings 

Give your mom something she can always carry on her to remind her of your love. Find a design that you think you’ll both like so that you can wear them every day. To make your matching rings unique, you could: 

*Add gemstones for your birth months

*An engraving with a sweet message like “Love you mom”, “You are my sunshine”, or something with meaning to the two of you

*Matching bands but custom stones in your favorite colors, so they’re your own but still go together 

If you have several siblings, you could also incorporate all of your birthstones into a ring or other piece of jewelry to create a one-of-a-kind gift from all of you. If rings aren’t your mom’s thing, try lab-grown diamond stud earrings.

A Self-Care Basket

Whether they’re your own mom or wife, or just a special lady in your life who does so much for everyone around her, you surely can feel good about giving her a self-care basket that includes everything she needs for some much deserved R&R. If you’re going to DIY your pampering care package, here are a few ideas for what to include: 

*Luxury bath salts 

*Rejuvenating face masks 

*Lavender bed sheet mist 

*High-quality moisturizing cream

*Cooling eye mask 

*Silk pillowcase

*A box or two of tea to help her relax

*Aloe-infused moisturizing socks 

*Essential oil diffuser 

*Candle in her favorite scent

She can use these items to create her own at-home spa and will surely appreciate the time and thoughtfulness put into such a personalized gift. 

The most important thing to remember when shopping for the women you love on Mother’s Day is to find a gift that shows them that you’re thinking of them and that you appreciate everything they do for you. Any present that radiates that message loud and clear is a win in our book (and will be in hers too)!
