11 Great Gift Ideas for Mom

Mom is the original beauty icon, first teacher, and the most inspiring role model of all, so why not shower the woman who gave you life with gifts that will keep her smiling this Mother’s Day?

From delectable cupcakes to delightfully smelling candles to personalized wall canvases, treat this incredibly special woman to a wonderful day filled with love and adoration.

Although I’d be grateful to receive material items, I’d also be just as happy to get a couple of thoughtful homemade coupons (a day to sleep-in, breakfast in bed, dish-free day, etc.) to cash in at any time.

    I haven’t decided what I’m going to get my mom. Not sure what I would like either.

  2. Well your ideas are all wonderful as usual but what I need is something to wear to work…but what I want is something from the Harley store! It’s a sickness..I know!

  3. that guy says:

    great post! thanks for the help:)

  4. I’m treating my mom & mom (in law) to a spa day. Manicures, pedicures, facials & maybe massages.

  5. Love the recommendations! I’m not a mother just yet, but I do plan on getting my mom something techie this year, since she’s found a new love for all things gadget. She’s always been a big TV buff, but goes away on business travel a lot, so I figured getting her a Sling Adapter for her Dish services would be ideal. With it hooked up at her house, she’ll be able to view all of her favorite shows on her iPad anywhere she goes in the world, live or recorded, from the Dish Remote Access app. One of my coworkers at Dish told me the price dropped down to only $30 as well, so on top of that I can get her some extra goodies, like one of those robes or iPad cases. I’m pretty excited for this year and I know she’ll just love it all! 🙂

  6. @Sherita – Hopefully some of my recommendations can be a starting point for you!

    @Bailey -I personally would love to have a spa day too! I have a gift card for one, but just haven’t found the time to use it.

    @Steel Heels, I’m sure Harley Davidson has some Mother’s Day ideas! LOL

    @Alyssa – That’s a great idea since your mom is a techie. My mom who’s 66 seems to love all things tech too these days. Still not sure what to give her, guess I better hurry up. At least I know what I’m getting my MIL.

  7. Also, the winner of the Faux Canvas print is Bailey! Congrats! Please email me your mailing address: info@browngirlgumbo.com

    Thanks to everyone who participated!
