Picture this: Mother’s Day is a week away. You’ve texted the group chat with your siblings incessantly and yet have brainstormed approximately zero ideas for a Mother’s Day gift. You get a text from your dad: “What does mom want for Mother’s Day?” Seems to be the million dollar question, eh?
I’ve sought to make the process sliiighttllyy easier and hopefully stimulate some ideas for Mother’s Day gifts that are unique, budget-friendly (for the most part), and perfect for mom!
Jo Malone Peony & Blush Suede cologne — I will forever and always be a Jo Malone stan. Peony & Blush Suede is such a classic scent; it’s sweet but not overly so that it gives you a headache. Wood Sage & Sea Salt, English Pear & Freesia, Poppy & Barley, Red Roses, and Scarlet Poppy are also 10/10.
Kendra Scott Crystal Letter Pendant — Diamonds are a girl’s best friend but when that’s out of the budget, Kendra Scott is a close second. Kendra Scott is known for her signature Elisa pendant, but I love the personalization of the initial on this one!
The Comfy Cactus blanket — This gift is unfortunately out of the question for my own mother because she already owns about five and has no shame about it. These jersey knit blankets are the absolute best! They are warm without being bulky and perfect for traveling. I love the pink and floral prints they have right now!
Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil — This is coming with me to the grave. All the color options are beautiful, the lipgloss isn’t annoyingly sticky, and you can add a personal engraving for $10! (PS - if you order directly from the Dior site, you’ll likely get free gifts and extra cute gift packaging) (PPS - if you splurge on this for your mom and want a dupe for yourself, here you go)
Haven Haus Co Wreath Ribbons — These are so cute and so unique! Some ribbons are available year-round while others are seasonal! I’m in love with all the options! Maybe my mom can just put a wreath on every door of the house?
Soma pajamas — Yet another gift out of the question for me because my mom already owns many of these (and rightfully so). They are the softest pajamas you will every find and I think soft pajamas are a basic human necessity and therefore everyone needs some of these.
La Mer moisturizing cream — This is the most splurge-worthy item on the list but is the softest moisturizer you’ll ever use.
Dr. Dennis Gross Universal Daily Peel - coming in a 5 pack, 30 pack, and 60 pack, these chemical peel cloths feel like getting a daily facial. It works great even on sensitive skin and leaves your skin feeling so smooth.
