With Mother’s Day (Sunday, May 8) a couple of weeks away, it’s time to make sure to buy a gift! Show your appreciation for the special women in your life — your mother, the mother of your children, and more — with a thoughtful gift. Need some ideas? Browse through these Mother’s Day gift ideas for her, spanning clothing, home goods, and more, to find something that is sure to melt her heart.

Here, I’ve rounded up ideas for all kinds of moms, whether she enjoys a quiet day at home or a planned day out somewhere special. For moms who live far away, pick out one of the ready-to-gift items that ship in a nice box. As you look through this list, keep in mind if she’s been eyeing anything special — a specific purse or experience, for example — and show her you listen by buying it. If nothing specific comes to mind, go the more personal route by giving something sentimental.

Since this roundup shares items that I tried and enjoyed, you will find that this list is meant to be read by significant others who are helping their children to make the day special for mom. If you want to see some of the behind-the-scene moments of the review process, make sure to check out my Instagram highlights.

Along with each gift idea, I’ve given an idea for how to present the item in a meaningful way or how to make the gift feel like more of an experience. Many moms are amazing at planning gifts that have a theme and adding in small items that bring happiness. Share the joy by putting forth the same effort. Although these additions are optional, remember to make the day a special occasion with a simple phone call, handmade Mother’s Day cards from the children, a homemade treat, or a takeout meal of her choosing.

Breakfast in Bed with Sugar Bee Clothing Pajamas

Let mom sleep in, and wake up to a homemade breakfast served by her little ones wearing Sugar Bee Clothing Matching Pajamas. These have comfortable fabric, and they come in cute styles. They are also made in larger styles up to 12Y. Then, treat her to a photo shoot of her and her children. Trust me, these moments pass quickly, and it’s nice to capture them!

Mother’s Day Brunch in Hickory Hills Clothing Co. Matching Dresses

Make plans for a nice outing to get brunch wearing Hickory Hills Clothing Co. Matching Dresses. These dresses have frills that work for special occasions. The floral patterns could inspire a visit to a garden.

Sweeping your wife off her feet with a Lady Black Tie Dress & date night

If your wife is a stellar mom, there’s a chance that she’s been waiting to be swept out of the house and reminded of the amazing woman she is to you. Make sure your children give their sweet, thoughtful handmade cards and sentimental items, and then gift her a special date night for an event she’s been wanting to attend on a future weekend.

Buy a dress from Lady Black Tie for the occasion. The Michaela Dress is white with a rose floral pattern that is elegant for a mother, yet romantic for a date night.

When I tried this dress out, I felt amazing. My family said it was pretty too.

Chic City Getaway with Kelly Wynne and Allegorie Design

Along with a new bag, give the experience of a chic city getaway. The Kelly Wynne Bon Voyage Backpack in Sand is perfect for traveling with children because of its many pockets to fit your children’s items along with mom’s personal traveling essentials. Plan a day visiting children’s museums, a play, or playgrounds.

In addition to the backpack, give a matching card holder, like the Gala Puzzle Cardholder from Allegorie Design. The light, neutral colors are perfect for springtime.

Another bag I like from the company is the Rose Gala Crossbody Camera Bag. Not only does it look fashionable, but as an added fun-fact, the bags are made with fruit! Crafted from natural fruit peel and plant-based materials, the bags upcycle up to 550 apples with bio content constituting up to 80% of it. Perfect for an environmentalist, these items would also go well with a family outing to a local farm to shop for local goods, pick fruit, or visit the animals.

Beach Getaway with an Urban Originals Tote Bag

Gift an Urban Originals Tote Bag, which has the space that moms always need when they’re taking the children around on different adventures when school is out. Remind mom that this is a gift truly for her by filling it with a new beach towel, Ray Bans, fun summer shades of nail polish, nourishing hair masques, magazines, flip flops, and books. Add an invitation to a nearby beach town for the chance to use the items and relax.

Mom’s Succulent Gift Box from Groovy Girl Gifts

Mom’s Succulent Gift Box is perfect for moms who live far away. It comes in ready-to-gift packaging with succulent designs on the box. Personalize the card with your own short message for a thoughtful touch.

My succulent arrived in great condition, and it’s a lovely reminder to see on my dresser every day.

Sending Gourmet Treats with Citarella

Ship gourmet treats that come in a very nice, special dark wood crate in Citarella’s That’s So Sweet Gift Box. Some items included are French butter cookies, Italian cookies, chocolate chip cookies, granola, and more. Graze on decadence with something to fit every craving.

Simplifying Meal Planning with a Wildgrain Box

For the mom who loves her bread maker but needs a break from time to time, Wildgrain is the perfect solution. Each box comes with a variety of frozen breads, rolls, and pastas. These are great to have on hand as a finishing touch to a meal. Being a great hostess means always having a baked item nearby in case a guest drops in. This takes the pressure off and keeps meal planning simple.

My family loved the fresh, specialty pastas, which had a softer texture than the store-bought variety. The pastas and other breads turned an average meal into something memorable!

Take a Trip Down Memory Lane with Zeno’s Trio Sampler

Think of special destinations you went to together, and have an item shipped from that destination. Since Florida is a special location to me, I tried out the Zeno’s Trio Sampler from the Daytona Beach boardwalk. The fudge was undeniably memorable! Luckily for my family, there was plenty to share with the delicious peanut brittle and brightly-colored Taffy.

Learning New Recipes Together with Bake Eat Love

Plan a memorable time together baking in the kitchen with Bake Eat Love. Since these recipe kits come in a brightly-colored ready-to-gift box, they are perfect for sending from a far distance. With simple-to-follow directions and pre-measured ingredients, it’s a great way to boost confidence in the kitchen with a new dish.

For months, my daughter has been asking me to help plan a day of baking macarons together. However, picking out all the necessary ingredients was a task that kept getting away from us. Now that we own the Macaron box, we have everything ready for a day of baking delicious treats.

With these gifts, you’re sure to find something that promises to make mom’s heart smile this May. For more gift ideas, make sure to follow Enjoying Family Life on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, and Twitter.

Disclosure: I received a free item, but it in no way influenced my opinion.
