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.
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?
