Mother’s Day Gift Guide 2021

Somehow it’s already April, which means Mother's Day is just around the corner. If you always find yourself buying a last ditch effort bouquet of flowers for your mom or grandmother, look no further. We’ve compiled a list of gift ideas for even the pickiest gift receivers.

For the loungewear-loving mom

Silk has some great anti-aging benefits because it doesn’t pull at your skin while you sleep. We’ve found the cutest 100% silk PJ set that doesn’t break the bank, and as a bonus, comes in different colors and prints.

For the mom that loves jewelry

A personalized piece of jewelry is a stylish and sentimental gift that can be customized with the names, initials, birthstones, etc. We love this personalized necklace from MAS Designs. Each word is slightly oxidized to bring out the letters and depth in the charm. You can customize the charm words, beads, and chain length. Possible charm words: love, peace, kiss, heart, lover, warrior, fuck, hope, smile, energy, power, yes, xo, badass mama, mom. Go nuts, choose a word that means something special to you!

For the Yogi mom

A new yoga mat is every yoga enthusiast’s dream, especially when it’s as nice as this one. For $78, this versatile, natural rubber mat has a grippy top layer that helps you find balance and is reversible so you can style your next yoga session. The New York Times even chose it as their top pick yoga mat for 2021.

For the gardener mom

This birth month flower kit is actually a great gift for anyone who likes flowers (not just pro gardeners). It comes with everything you need for only $34: seeds, a glass bottle to grow them in, a soil-less growing medium, instructions, and info explaining what your flower symbolizes. You can even use the glass bottle as a vase after your flower has grown. It’s easy to use and will bring a smile to your mom’s face whenever she sees it.

For slipper wearing mom

These microwavable slippers, for $19.75, are the perfect cozy gift, and they even made it onto Oprah’s Favorite Things list in 2019. All you do is microwave them for one minute, and your feet will be warm for up to an hour. They also smell like lavender, which can have a calming effect.

For the wine mom

If your mom considers herself a “wine mom”, this wine subscription is such a fun option. You take a survey and they mail you a personalized box of wine to try, and you rate each bottle so each month they can adapt to what you like. They have a lot of variety, including red, white, rosé, sparkling and they even have vegan options.
