Whether you call her “mama,” “mommy,” “mom,” “ma,” or another mom-related moniker, one thing is sure – she is synonymous with all that is selflessness. With that said, it’s befitting that we offer our best Mother’s Day gift ideas for you to explore. Moreover, while there’s no gift more significant than a mother’s love, the simple act of giving back to her is sure to make her heart smile.

“Thinking about my mother and the many other mothers I know, along with numerous observations and experiences gleaned from other people about their mothers, I think it’s time to pay tribute to these most influential of educators – our mamas.”

– T.D. Jakes, Mama Made The Difference

In no particular order, here’s our list of the 5 Best Mother’s Day Gift Ideas:


1. When Brunch and Art Collide…

From delectable bites at the hottest Spanish eatery to delicious cuisines at the newest Indian bistro, it’s time to take your mom on a brunch date! Whatever flavor she fancies, you can book your brunch reservation using the OpenTable app, or any app of your choice. Weather permitting, this is an excellent opportunity to relax on a rooftop terrace, as you catch up with mom over a delicious brunch spread and her favorite coffee or tea. Then, off to the theater you go. Whether your mom adores ballet or symphonies, this is the time to explore your local arts and entertainment district. So, how’s brunch and a live theater performance for one of the best Mother’s Day gift ideas?

2. Treat Yo’ Self…(Mom, of course)

Imagine the sweet aromatherapy of lavender and magnolia filling the air, as your mom is swept away by a spa experience unparalleled. Our mothers often sacrifice so much for us (and rarely request anything in return). Also, for single moms and/or stay-at-home moms, the duality of their roles often exacerbates the stressors of providing financial, emotional, and mental support to their children. Regardless of the spa day package that you choose, your mom will sincerely appreciate indulging in a rejuvenating experience. As one of the best Mother’s Day gift ideas, every mom deserves to experience a day of pampering at least once!

3. There’s No Place Like Home…

For those of you who prefer a more tangible, insert-gift-inside-giftbag idea, the Serita Jakes Home collection of thoughtfully curated candles is sure to warm your mom’s home and heart this Mother’s Day. The matriarch behind the collection, Lady Serita Jakes is a successful CEO and humanitarian, empowering speaker, devoted wife, and proud mom, among other selfless roles. To this end, it should come as no surprise that she has designed her candle and home décor offerings with timeless accents and exquisite fragrances. When you purchase a candle from the Serita Jakes Home collection, you’re gifting your mom an aroma experience that’s so inviting – you’ll want to reserve a candle for yourself! From water lily and geranium to vetiver and peony, we’re confident that your mom will agree that this is one of the best Mother’s Day gift ideas you could give her.

4. Your New City Awaits…

If you’re feeling adventurous and seeking new sights to explore, taking your mom on a fun-filled day trip could prove beneficial for her spirit (and yours). One of the great perks about this trip is that you get to spend quality time with your mom. Moreover, depending on where the road leads you, you could end up amidst the backdrop of lush greenery and serene waterfalls. To help your mom maximize this trip, be sure to do most of the heavy lifting, including packing nutritious food and beverages, toiletries, picnic blankets, and more, for her. The last thing you want your mom to worry about is whether she has essential road trip items in tow. With the proper planning, this is sure to be one of the best Mother’s Day gift ideas. Once you arrive at your destination of choice, enjoy a bed and breakfast venue, nature trails, local boutiques, and most of all – the company of your mom!

Mothers tend to us as young children and help us develop into exceptional women. Mothers are executives, doctors, educators, entrepreneurs, and so much more. Most of all, they are always there for us, cheering from the proverbial sidelines as our greatest supporter and confidante. Whether you grew up under the guidance of your mother, grandmother, or another motherly figure, the wisdom that you gleaned from her is worth its weight in gold!

As a society, we designate one day to recognize our mothers each year. However, we shouldn’t relegate honoring these remarkable women on Mother’s Day; know that every day is a perfect day to celebrate her.

“My mother’s gifts of courage to me were both large and small. The latter are woven so subtly into the fabric of my psyche that I can hardly distinguish where she stops and I begin.”
