Bath Products

There are so many mother’s day gift options in this category alone! They help encourage the mother’s in our lives to take care of themselves. Bath salts are definitely one of the top options because they are so nice for relaxation. My favorite are these. They aren’t strongly scented and are very mild and relaxing. Alternatively you could go with unscented Epsom salts and add in your own mix of essential oils.

Bath bombs can also be a really fun gift. You can get pretty creative making your own. Savvy Homemade has a good starting tutorial here. It might even be fun to have a bath bomb making session with mom!

Candles

Candles are a nice gift for mother’s day because every time she lights it, she will be reminded of you. And of how much you love her. Candles also help to promote relaxation and can be used in conjunction with the bath products as mentioned above. The kind of candle will depend greatly on what kinds of things your mom likes but there are so many options. If you aren’t sure what kind to get, sets like this come with several different scents which can be really nice.

House Plants

One of the classic mother’s day gifts is a bouquet of flowers. But they are gone so soon! So if you know mom has a green thumb then get her a house plant instead. It will (hopefully) last so much longer and can bring joy all over again when it blooms.

Photo Book

Nothing brings the happy tears of a mother’s love like looking through old photographs. Putting together a photo book for your mom so she can look at these old pictures can be really meaningful. You can buy a book like this and then print out the photos to go inside and it makes a beautiful mother’s day gift.

Meaningful Jewelry

Jewelry is something that can be worn basically any day as a reminder of love and connection. There are lots of options for mother’s day but I feel like the best are ones that are made to be meaningful instead of generic. Some of these include personalization where you can include the names of children but some of them like this beautiful bird one, are more themed instead of personalized.

Heartfelt Decorations

I know my mom absolutely loves decorations that remind her of family and the love that we have for one another. Willow Tree figures are one of the best for this. If you haven’t heard of them they are figures that are beautifully carved out of wood and symbolize important things in life. For mother’s day, Close to Me is perfect. Other options include music boxes like this one that plays you are my sunshine and family tree carvings like this one.

I hope this gives you some ideas for simple but meaningful gifts for mother’s day this year!
