Mother's Day is around the corner, which means it's time to show your mom some appreciation. Nothing shows your love and gratitude like a gift from the heart!
Flowers are a bit cliché, jewelry can get costly, and chocolate melts. Do you want to give your mom an non-traditional but memorable gift this Mother's Day?
Here, we'll uncover nine creative gifts for moms that she'll love and cherish for years to come.
1. Heart-Shaped Picture Collage
A picture is worth a thousand words. Family pictures in the shape of a heart make great gifts for moms.
Mothers are notorious for collecting hundreds of baby pictures in albums, shoe boxes, and plastic containers. Some sit in picture frames on a table beside the bed or hang on the wall in her office.
Create a heart-shaped picture collage using all of your mom's favorite pictures of you and your siblings (if you have any). Use family photos and even grandkids. Go for a classic, vintage look by using black and white photographs.
Once you've created the heart shape, place the collage in a frame and wrap it up for a creative gift.
2. Handwriting Bracelet
There's nothing more personal than someone's signature. Why not turn your handwritten name into a keepsake for your mother?
As much as your mom probably loved that noodle necklace you made for her in preschool, a signature bracelet is meaningful and fashionable.
Not only are these creative gifts, but they're personal. Choose the font, size of the bracelet, and finish (gold or silver).
Now, your mom can carry a piece of you with her everywhere she goes.
3. Mom-Themed Book or Journal
Some of the best gifts for moms are those that capture memories and special moments. Mothers love telling stories of when you were small or boasting about your success in adulthood.
A mom journal or book is the best gift for moms who enjoy reading, journaling, or even scrapbooking. Purchase a "You and Me" journal that you and your mom can pass back and forth, writing messages to each other and creating beautiful new memories.
The What I Love About Mom by Me book is a good mom gift for anyone who struggles to express exactly how they feel. With writing prompts and blank spaces for you to add your personal touch, you can let your mom know just how much she means to you.
If your mom prefers to curl up in her warm and cozy bed with a good book, she'll love the book, What Are Moms Made Of? which honors the beauty of all mothers.
4. Wool Comforter
Bringing your mom breakfast in bed? Does your mom enjoy relaxing on the couch watching television?
A wool comforter is the perfect mom gift that will envelop her in warmth and comfort all year long!
Light, soft, and washable, these wool blankets aren't your traditional wool throw. Available in a variety of sizes and colors, your mother will love the clean, natural wool minus the heavy wool scent.
5. Weekly Planner or Desk Calendar
Most moms are naturally organized and efficient. With so many things to coordinate and manage, moms are expert multi-taskers.
Make things easier on her this Mother's Day with a gorgeous weekly planner or desk calendar. While many people use their smartphone calendars, there's nothing quite like a desktop planner to stay organized.
You can choose a weekly or monthly option. There are plenty of designs to choose from, including florals, nature, or geometric shapes. Find the right style to compliment your mother's personality.
Pair this creative gift with a set of colorful pens.
6. Personalized Apron
Is your mom happiest when she's in the kitchen, baking up sweet treats or cooking a delicious, five-course meal? What better way to honor her (and protect her clothing) than gifting her a personalized apron?
When it comes to this mom gift, the options are endless! Choose fabric, color, and design based on your mom's personality. You can also find an apron that matches her kitchen decor.
You can also add a fun phrase or your mother's name to the apron to make it all the more special. Be sure to include plenty of pockets for holding things like cooking utensils and recipe cards.
Pair an apron with a cookbook for a great Mother's Day bundle.
7. Bathtub Caddy
Nothing is quite as relaxing as a bubble bath, except maybe a bubble bath with candles, a good book, and a glass of wine.
The only issue you face is where to keep all of your items without getting them wet. Struggle no more!
A bamboo bathtub caddy is both beautiful and functional. The bamboo material is sturdy and durable, allowing it to get wet without the worry of damage.
Similar to a lap tray that allows you to have breakfast in bed, the extendable handles on the bathtub caddy fit most bathtubs.
Now, mom can place her book, wine, and any other supplies safely on the caddy and enjoy a relaxing bubble bath, stress-free!
8. Garden Basket with Tools
A garden basket and tools are one of the best gifts for moms who love spending time outdoors tending to their fruits, vegetables, and flowers.
Choose a basket that's made of durable material and easy to carry. Avoid oversized baskets that are heavy or cumbersome. Wicker is a great outdoor material that withstands the elements.
Some baskets even allow you to add a personalized touch. Display your mom's name, initials, or a personalized message on a small bracket on the front of the basket.
Add gardening gloves and a few packets of seeds and you have a useful and creative gift your mom will love.
9. Fashionable Activity Tracker
For the active mom in your life, a fitness tracker is a practical gift. With so many designs, brands, and capabilities, it might be hard to choose the right one.
If your mom exercises regularly invest in a quality, durable tracker that measures her heart rate and lets her sync-up with her other active friends!
Are you encouraging your mom to adopt a more active lifestyle? A traditional tracker with basic functions like step counts and reminders to get up and get moving will work just fine.
Fitness trackers have come a long way and are now available in countless colors and designs, with most doubling as watches or a piece of beautiful jewelry.
After a long day of exercise, your mom will happily fall into bed feeling accomplished and healthy.
