Mother’s Day is going to be a little different than they have been in the past. And if you’ve had a birthday or anniversary through this quarantine, you know what I mean. But just because we are social distancing and might not be able to be with our Mother’s, Grandmother’s, or other motherly figures, it doesn’t mean we have to skimp on gifts. I did a round up of Mother’s Day gift ideas in a few different categories to fit all different types of moms.
Pampering Gift Ideas
These gifts are for the mom who loves self care or maybe the mom who needs to take some time for herself.
1. Facial Steamer – This is like a mini facial at home! Open up your pores to help clean out the gunk that’s been trapped in there to get radiant skin. It’s also just very therapeutic.
2. ”Where the Crawdads Live” – I haven’t read this one yet but it literally had 45,000 five star reviews, soooo if your mom loves to read fiction, this will be a good pick.
3. Lash Boost – Help your mom get longer, darker looking lashes with this lash and brow serum. If you want a discount, send me a DM on Instagram.
4. Eye Cream – Our moms are getting old so let’s help them get rid of those crows feet to help them look as young as they feel. If you want a discount, let me know!
5. Hair Mask – Don’t forget about their hair, it needs love too. Most moms (maybe just mine) don’t really invest in their hair care so help them by getting them this mask to do while they are using their facial steamer.
6. Pajamas – Everyone needs at least one set of luxurious pajamas to slip into after they have pampered themselves. These ones are raved about on Nordstrom so spoil your mom a little bit.
7. Slippers – No one likes cold feet and if you mom is anything like mine, her feet are like icicles. These ones are trendy but also super warm.
8. Silk Eye Mask – Help prevent wrinkles with this silk eye mask to help the eye cream sink in and hydrate instead of rub off onto the pillow. I love mine and it really helps if you are sensitive to light when you sleep.
9. Microfiber Sheets – Everyone who gets these sheets are obsessed. If you don’t believe me, check out the reviews on Amazon. For only $26 for a Queen Set of sheets, you can’t beat it people!
Home Gifts
If your mom either needs a little help with decorating or loves to make her home super homey, check out these gifts.
1. Homesick Candle – Whether it’s to remind her of a place or a time, these candle are a great specialized gift for a mother who loves candles.
2. Catch Tray – This is a great piece to add to a shelf or a table to catch those little things like remotes, jewelry, candles, and other decor.
3. Plants – This artificial plant is a great realistic one to add some color, but real plants are a great option whether they are potted for the house or ones she can plant in a garden.
4. Humidifier/Essential Oil Diffuser – Now you don’t need to choose between a humidifier or an essential oil diffuser, you can have both. If you mom likes to create her own blends, this is a great gift idea.
5. Coffee Table Book – Coffee table books are great for decoration but just make sure that it either goes with her color scheme or on a topic she enjoys.
6. Wicker Basket – These are great to store blankets in but if you have a big enough one, it can hide a planter as well. It helps to add some earth tones and texture in a room.
Beauty Gifts
For the mom that loves all things beauty, this section is for you.
1. Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk – This formulation is super creamy and the color is like a perfect nude, great for all skin types.
2. Revlon Blow Dry Brush – I don’t think I need to say too much about this product, but if your mom likes the blow out look or has hair that takes a long time to dry, this would be a prefect gift.
3. R+F Radiant Defense – Get your mom this perfecting liquid that looks like make up but acts like skincare. Coverage that helps improve skin over time is what everyone wants!
4. Fragrance Sampler – Don’t just settle on one fragrance, get your mom a plethora to try. If there is one she likes she can turn it into Sephora and they will give her a full size of the one she wants!
5. Jergan’s Tanning Mousse – Okay this is my current favorite tanning product. It’s only $10 and works really well if you are a novice to self tanner. GIve the gift of a tan!
6. Makeup Eraser – This will replace all the makeup wipes that end up in the trash. If you mom is conscious about waste production, this reusable ‘makeup wipe’ is great. You just use water and wash it after a few uses.
7. R+F Redefine Regimen – This regimen helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and with the micro-needling system, it will help speed up the process. Give her the gift of skincare that will help her look as young as she feels.
8. The Ordinary Peeling Solution – The Ordinary Peeling Solution is an amazing chemical exfoliant that you can see and feel the results as soon as you take it off. A great budget-friendly chemical treatment at home.
It’s not about the gifts but it is nice to get your mom a little something that reminds you of her or something you think she might like. If gifts are her thing, find out her love language and tailor your ‘gift’ to that. Maybe she likes acts of services and you can ask her what she needs, and when she says nothing, you can make her a dinner or pull the weeds.
I hope you have a great mother’s day virtually or if you live with your mom, make her day extra special!
XO, Annie
