If you haven’t checked the date yet, and if your mother hasn’t reminded you yet, and if you’re not sure why you’re here yet…Mother’s Day might be fast approaching without you knowing it.
I know. Cue horror music.
Moms are one in a million. They all have sporadic taste in what they want on this wonderful self-indulgent day for them and hectic day for all the sons and daughters as they scramble to think of what the hell to buy their mom.
Some moms just want their kids to leave the house, (here’s looking at you, 32 year old gamer living in the attic instead of the basement). Other moms might enjoy going out and having “me” time, where nothing is allowed to cause them stress, because they’ve donned their stress-free bubble. Unfortunately, there’s a pandemic going on, so good luck to them. I think they’re crying in the background.
But then there’s the moms who want the simpler things–jewelry.
Whatever type of taste your mother has, I hope the sites below will help you choose the best Mother’s Day gift for her personality.
This way I can’t mess up her gift, only you can. Hehe.
Mother’s Day Clothes & Accessories
Let’s just say this is where clothing stores come into play, as well as the larger online superstores that cater to a whole lot of category of items. And yes, I was starting to run out of names for headers, therefore I’m clumping them together.
Anthropologie
There’s nothing too frilly going on with the items in this site and there’s definitely more than just clothing and accessories to choose from in the Mother’s Day section. There’s also jewelry, blankets, candles, things to do with makeup stations. It’s certainly an all-in-one online store, without having too much to look at.
Kohl’s
No joke, whenever it came to buying something for my mom, I would always go to Kohl’s first. And if they didn’t have anything I was looking for…I’d have to think of where else I should go for something my mom would like.
Well, something I would like for my mom to like.
Flower Shopping for Mother’s Day
I don’t mean those fake flowers either. Get her something real.
You don’t say you love her with false emotion, so why would you get her flowers that aren’t actually flowers? I feel like that’s more of a “I’m sorry you’re in the hospital, here have some flowers” type of gift.
Stop that. Search these sites instead.
(Unless she’s allergic, of course. Don’t make me eat my own words.)
1-800-Flowers
I think the most notable thing about this site is not just the really pretty floral pieces they sell, but the vases and containers that the flowers actually sit in. Some of them have dedication writing on them, others are simplistic with a bow tie, and then there’s the watering can look-alikes. Plus, you can choose the amount of stems as well as an additional item to come with your product.
This place isn’t just about flowers. They have birdhouses and tea sets, and sweets to choose from as well.
The Sill
The Sill doesn’t necessarily have a sale going on for Mother’s Day, but instead, has brought in some fresh flowers for the holiday. These include Pink Anthuriums, Sunset Orchids, and Petite White Orchids.
They might not be as noticeably scented as candles, but they give the home a nice look.
If your mom doesn’t have a green thumb and the plants have a potentially high death rate…you might want to stick with fake flowers.
Urban Stems
If you don’t want to stick with a singular plant in a holder, then Urban Stems offers up a plethora of flower bouquets that look gorgeous. A perfect centerpiece to the dining room table. But not only that, you can also get an extra side item with some of these flower purchases. Not to mention the adorable Phoebe.
Jewelry for Mom on Mother’s Day
A lot of people think of jewelry when someone brings up Mother’s Day.
Yes, I’m one of those people.
I think for five years straight, I’d given my mom a necklace or a bracelet or earrings. Never a ring though. Like I’d even know her fit, come on. (Props to you if you know your mother’s ring size.)
Kay Jewelers
I mean, if you haven’t heard of this place, you’re probably young, goth, or just don’t keep up to date with jewelry places, or don’t listen to the commercials on TV, or a whole lot of other stuff. And if you didn’t think I’d put in on a Mother’s Day post, then…well, it is sort of a cliche to point here. I mean, like I said, it’s so well known with its jewelry it’s kind of always hogging the spotlight.
Kendra Scott
I was looking through the Mother’s Day jewelry that Kendra Scott offers, and I have to say, their stuff may be pretty simplistic in nature, but it’s also pretty unique. More specifically, the iridescent glass they use.
Not only that, but Kendra Scott also gives back a portion of their proceeds to certain causes.
Sweets, Food, & Wine for Mother’s Day
This is my kind of category right here. Well, without the wine. I’m more of a drink large gulps, not itty bitty sips kind of gal. But hey, some moms prefer wine without the whine, so here’s to them.
And cheers to those who love indulging their sweet tooth.
Godiva
Just like Kay Jewelers is a hotspot for those wanting jewelry for whatever reason, Godiva is a hotspot location for those with a sugartooth. Seriously, it’s like your tongue enters the gates of heaven when you try a piece of Godiva, only to be thrown back after you’ve eaten it. At that point you want more than what you’re supposed to have.
Gourmet Gift Baskets
If you can’t find what your mom wants on the Gourmet Gift Baskets site, then I can’t do much for you as far as food and drinks go. If none of the other sites tickle your fancy with their products, well, this place has champagne and breakfast gift baskets (yes, all in one).
That’s gotta tell you there’s more to these baskets than just cookies and wine.
Hickory Farms
This site is a bit of an oddball for ordering something along the lines for Mother’s Day, but it still features a lot of good stuff. I mean, if your mom likes some meaty goodness, then there’s sausage and gourmet meats in these gift packages.
But then there’s also the wine and the cinnamon buns and the mini pies.
So really, it’s a wine and dine kind of site.
Mrs. Fields
There’s a lot of spring stuff going on in the link, but there’s also plenty of cookies, and baskets, and tins, and cakes (sometimes even a mix going on) for the moms. While some merely have the “Happy Mother’s Day” slogan on top of the packaging, others have it as an edible portion. Even better is you can personalize at least one of the cookie cakes so it says whatever you want on it.
It’s like the bakery section in Kroger, but…a little more finesse, and maybe a bit more love.
Winc
Winc is all about the wine, baby, so if your mom’s not a lush (or even if she is), she might like a bottle (or several, depending on how much you stress her out) on this special day devoted to her. Well, not just her, but you get my meaning. You can get 20$ off your first box if you’ve never used the service before!
Best Mother’s Day Subscriptions
There are so many good subscription websites out there that offer so many unique things month after month, and because of that…I’m glad I’m not pointing out singular crates to you. Keep in mind subscriptions can be canceled anytime, but hey, if mom likes them, then keep her happy.
Atlas Coffee Club
If you’ve got a mom that can’t exist without coffee, or a mom that makes you fear for your life when she hasn’t had said coffee, then Atlas Coffee Club has your back. They’ve got three different gift subscriptions, ranging from 3 months to 12 months.
Plus, it’s not always the same coffee with the same taste. They give you stuff from all over–“A new adventure in every cup.”
Cratejoy
So. Many. Crates.
You’ll get lost in them, trust me. They are for everyone and everything that loves whatever they want, and whatever they want, they can subscribe to. So give your mom the perfect crate. Or two. Or five.
GlobeIn
This is a super interesting subscription site. Basically, there are 5 or more boxes you can choose from that have a certain theme about them. In the boxes are around 4-5 hand-crafted items from all around the world. It’s pretty cool for moms who like other countries and enjoy collecting things.
Gamers might recognize this as something along the lines of what LootCrate does.
Mother’s Day Tech & Kitchenware
You know what? I didn’t really know what to put here, as the site below isn’t exactly classified for anything in the above sections. Thus, for your techy moms that love baking and cooking, I point at the below.
Bed, Bath, and Beyond
So, there’s a variety of things in this store that don’t simply cater to kitchenware, including socks and bathrobes and…other bathroom stuff, I guess.
The categories are weird, I know, just work with me here. Bed, Bath, and Beyond is a haven for the ladies, and I don’t know why. Maybe because it offers a lot for the kitchen and we spend a lot of time in the kitchen…
Baking.
Yes. Baking sweets. For ourselves.
Courant
All right, so the products offered here are pretty debatable in regards to moms. Basically, Courant offers rechargable stations for your phone or other devices compatible with it. You’ve got your trays to set a variety of things in and your portable wireless power bank.
If your mom is someone that uses her phone a lot or goes out to business trips often, then this is something you might think of getting her.
Products are 30% off and they offer free monogramming on CATCH:3.
Legacybox
This is an interesting website, and personally, I think it caters more to the mothers who are older rather than younger. Basically, you can send them old home movies and photos and they’ll do all the digitizing for you.
It’s worth checking out if you don’t want to trouble yourself with migrating olden day stuff onto new generation stuff.
My Gift Stop
Rushing to get a good sale on Mama Bear’s last-minute gift? This might be your last stop shopping spree. It’s a site looking into if your mom needs a new watch.
Weird thing to say, I know.
They certainly have more than watches, but they do seem to be the attention-hog on the site. Still worth looking at their other “women” categories. Sorry, no kitchenware in this location.
