What is a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift?
Although you can bet all mothers would love chocolate and flowers, consider tailoring your gift to your mother’s interests.
You can never go wrong with homewares. Consider wall art of a destination she loves, or a new set of pillowcases so she can revive her bedroom interior. If she treasures (or deserves) a moment of self-care and time to herself, a candle or skincare may do just the trick.
Who can I buy Mother’s Day gifts for?
Mother’s Day gifts don’t have to just be for our mothers and the mothers of our children. There are plenty of other special people in our lives who deserve to be celebrated on this day, including grandmothers, stepmothers and maternal mentors, all of whom would be delighted to receive a thoughtful gift on Mother’s Day.
