12 Fun and Thoughtful Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Looking for a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift for mom or a special woman in your life? Here are 12 fun and unique feel-good Mother’s Day gift ideas to celebrate the holiday.

The NOW Gift Card and Self-Care Gifts (44+)

We always think a gift card for a relaxing massage makes for a great gift, and The NOW is currently open at 26 locations across the country. In addition, The NOW offers retail perfect for self-care. A few gift ideas for pampering someone special in your life include Nourish by The NOW Refresh Eye Mask ($44), Gara Danielle Quartz Point 14K Gold-Filled Necklace ($55), and Scent by The NOW Jasmine Coconut Candle ($48). Through May 8, guests can enjoy a complimentary $20 added to every $100 gift card purchase for Mom.

Lovebook ($47)

In 2007, four friends and colleagues set out to create a meaningful gift to express one’s love for another. Instead of just saying “I love you,” they wanted to get to the deeper meaning of love by helping people express the reasons why they love each other – thus, creating LoveBook.

Each LoveBook is a custom made list of all those little reasons why you love or appreciate someone. Customize your book as much or as little as you’d like. Add up to 100 full color, illustrated pages for one flat price.

This fully customized Mother’s Day gift can be made in 3 easy steps: create your characters that look like you and mom, answer a few quick questions, and edit the pages to fit your relationship.

Hey Dewy Wireless Facial Humidifier ($60)

The Hey Dewy Wireless Facial Humidifier is wireless and rechargeable, so mom can take it with her anywhere! It’s a great beauty tool to nourish skin before, after, or even during one’s beauty routine. 

Faceé Ice Globes ($65)

This cooling face tool is both pretty and relaxing. Just pop these in the fridge and take it out when you need a little calming “me time.” Faceé shares that benefits include reducing puffiness, pain relief, and more.  

Bath & Body Works Butterfly Collection ($8+)

Beautiful, strong, and one of a kind, the new Butterfly collection is inspired by softness, strength, radiance, and resilience. Fragrance notes include raspberry nectar, iris petals, and airy vanilla. The collection is available in a range of products including fragrances, moisturizers, candles, cleansers, hand care, and more. 

Cósmica Book by Natalie Garcia ($20)

Cósmica is a Spanglish collection of poems, mantras and magical rituals focused on self-love, healing, and spiritual manifestation. This is the perfect gift for moms that are all about self-care and spirituality.

Printfresh Luxury Pajamas ($108+)

Printfresh offers a luxury line of pajamas that are size inclusive, sustainable, and beloved by celebrities such as Kate Hudson and Padma Lakshmi. Since its inception in 2017, head designer and founder Amy Voloshin made being an ethical fashion company a core value. I’m a huge fan of the gorgeous Bagheera print, but there are so many beautiful prints to choose from to find one that’s just right.
