Mother's Day is coming up on May 13—and you know she doesn’t want you to procrastinate any longer. Show her how appreciated she is with a sweet, heartfelt gift. Bonus points if you throw in something handmade! Here’s exactly what to get Mom for Mother’s Day…

 

For the mom who loves to be pampered…

Snag her a super luxe soap and gorge dish to stash it in. It’s practical and pretty.
 

Printed & Folded Soap in Japanese Peony, $8, anthropologie.com

 

Pressed Pizzo Soap Dish, $18, anthropologie.com 

 

For the mom who loves to laugh…

Subtly let on that you know that she knows that you’re her fave. Obvi!
 
 

Favorite Child Mug, $14, cafepress.com

 

For the mom who loves to bake…

Moms are always there when you need a last-minute ride, hug or delicious batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies. For the mom that spends most of her time baking, give her something fun to cook. Way cuter than a basic wooden spoon.

 

 

 

Bloom Flower Utensil Set, $30, alwaysfits.com 

 

For the sentimental mom….

Does your mom cry over every birthday card and sweet thing you do for her? If so, she will definitely shed a tear over this adorable gift. Round up the sibs and make a hand print collage that will be a  fab keepsake for when you get older.

 

 

 
Handprint Canvas Kit, $40, redenvelope.com

 

For the glamorous mom…

Whether she’s running out to the grocery store or to dinner out with your dad, your mom always looks super stylish and put together. Snag her some glitzy and chic bangles that she’ll wear with absolutely everything.


 

Sequin ‘Brights’ Small Enamel Bangle, $28, nordstrom.com


For the mom on the run…

Finding that you’re not spending as much quality time with Mom as you used to? Pick a day where just the two of you can head to your fave lunch spot to grab a bite to eat and catch up like old times.

 

 

 

 

A Lunch Date!, $30-40, panerabread.com 

 

Bonus: The last-minute gift

If you didn’t heed our earlier warning about not procrastinating, dash on over to Target to snag a pretty polish for Mom. Craft a cute coupon good for one at-home mani-pedi. So thoughtful, right?


 

 

Essie Nail Color - Splash for Grenadine, $8, target.com

im prob gonna go with the nail polish idea..problem is tho shes like a pro manicurist and shes prob gonna want to paint her own nails..any other suggestions?

Hey girl,

Your mom will love anything you give her, so if you make a card and something small to go with it, she'll love it! Even if she paints them herself, she'll still love that you thought of her and wanted to get her a gift, especially nail polish!

my mom would love the bracelets, she's always making herself look so pretty whenever we go out. whenever me friends see her they're like "is she your mom?!" it makes me laugh all of the time.
