Mother's Day 2025 Gift Guide: 15 Gift Ideas Every Mom Will Love

I have shared my desire to be a better donor over the years and let me tell you, it is an ongoing process. Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 11, and I discovered that 90% of being a better donor is planning well in advance. So today I remind you to spruce up those gifts and offer you my favorite Mother’s Day gift ideas (including some that cost nothing).

If you want to get more personal, ask mom for her own wish list or ask her best friend to tell you the details about the products she’s been talking about lately. You can never go wrong with a personalized gift chosen just for her.

These are my favorite Mother’s Day gift ideas for 2025…

15 gift ideas for Mother’s Day

I have a note from Bennett’s preschool teacher that I’ve wanted to frame for five years! Framing can seem like a daunting task because of all the decisions you have to make, from selecting what to frame to figuring out the best way to display it.

Framebridge is my favorite place to get creative inspiration and they can frame almost anything. One way to hit it out of the park with any mom is to frame a memory that she has kept and cherished but hasn’t done anything with yet.

I don’t know any mother who isn’t thinking about environmental health these days. Give safe cookware, especially if Mom has a particular pot or pan she wants to replace. It’s an improvement she’ll appreciate.

Putting on a Lunya silk sleeping mask indicates “off-duty” mode. I have one of these masks and I immediately exhale once it hits my eyes. It’s also a hit for Joe; We often have to decide who can use it at night.

4. A day for herself

Hire a babysitter (or be the babysitter yourself) and reserve a day on their calendar to do whatever you want, wherever you want. Feel like a hero.

As my children grow, I associate their uniqueness with what lights them up. A bracelet with icons and symbols that represent the entire family would be a really special way to celebrate the family you have created together. Etsy has tons of options for creating your own options.

These are great, high-quality t-shirts – the perfect basic piece. They’re structured enough to hold their shape over time but still feel perfectly relaxed. If the mom you’re buying for is practical and demanding, Kule will be a hit.

When I was at Esalen last month, I tried an amazing body oil that I can’t stop thinking about. I would rarely give it to myself, but it would be a very luxurious gift.

8. Art project

I love the idea of a creative gift that the kids and dad can make together. Here’s an idea: Have each child make a portrait of Mom to display when they wake up. Another: write little messages for mom on colored paper, roll them into small scrolls and place them in a hand painted wooden chest.

indoor plants They make a great gift for anyone who likes to exercise their green thumb. If you love gardening, get it a perennial plant. Even better, make it a ritual that grows over time, adding something new to the garden each year. Don’t hesitate to ask him which plants he likes best.

Removing some of your mental load is an amazing gift for mom. I have Hearth Display – it’s an amazing way to keep track of everything going on in our family, all in one place. If you get a gift like this, make sure you own the initial setup process too, so it’s not just one more thing that has to be on Mom’s plate!

Any luxurious update to an everyday staple will be a hit. Cashmere socks are the ultimate luxury. You can find a wide range of prices, from As if (with incredible colors) J.Crewwhich has pretty good sale prices on their cashmere blend socks.

If he loves tennis like I do, get him a new tennis racket that’s on his list (I have my eye on Wilson Roland-Garros 2025 Clash). Or if you don’t know their product preference, buy them a gift card to the brand of their choice. If tennis isn’t his thing, get him something that supports his unique hobbies.

I love the idea of putting together an album of family photos you took on your phone that she’s never seen before. I would love for Joe to do something like this for me.

For the mom who loves writing down lists and notes, get her a great notepad. I designed some for Target that are available for a limited time.

15. Spa service

Almost any mom would love to receive a gift of a spa service, whether it’s a deep tissue massage, a day in a modern bathhouse, or a hydrating facial. For Twin Cities locals, I love it Cuenca Spaand I recommend it Paige Haber for Shiatsu and other bodywork modalities.
