Mother’s Day is on Sunday, May 14th and you definitely want to make sure to grab the best mother’s day gifts for all the important mothers in your life. In this blog post I listed out some of my best ideas for you!
This is actually going to be my very first Mother’s Day and I cannot wait to celebrate! I’ve listed out a ton of ideas in this post and I’ve even put an * next to the ones on my personal wishlist. Some of the things on this list I already have, use and love and know other mamas will love them just as much.
1 Our Place Always Pan / Perfect Pot
Bob actually got me the Always Pan last year for my birthday and I literally use it every single day. I love how easy it is to clean and food doesn’t stick as easily to it like other pans.
Shop the always pan here. Shop the perfect pot here.
2 Slippers
Who doesn’t love a cute pair of slippers? I have the white criss cross ones but love how comfy the other ones look. Especially the cloud slippers now that summer is right around the corner.
Shop the smiley slippers here. Shop the white criss cross slippers here. Shop the Ugg Tasman slippers here. Shop the Ugg Scuffette slippers here. Shop the cloud slippers here.
3 Cute Mugs | best mother’s day gifts
I recently found the cutest mint mug at my local Home Goods that has ridges around the cup and a gold rim.
We actually did not need anymore mugs especially since Bob decluttered our cup and mug closet a few months ago and got rid of so much. But sometimes you just can’t help yourself when you find a super cute mug. There’s just something about sipping your freshly brewed, hot cup of coffee in a cute mug. It just hits different. IFYYK lol
This first glass mug below is from my cousin Kasey’s print shop and I think it’s super cute for the mommas who love drinking their iced coffees.
The second mug I found on Amazon and just think it’s super chic.
Shop momma glass cup from Common Grace Print Shop here. Shop the crème coffee mug and saucer here.
4 Mama Necklace | best mother’s day gifts
I think this is such a cute and thoughtful idea. I personally would love a rose gold one that is super mini to match the necklace I have now that I never take off.
Shop the mama necklace here.
5 Spa Gift Card | best mother’s day gifts
My husband, Bob gave me a spa gift card a few months ago and I still need to book the appointment. I am breastfeeding exclusively so I think that’s the reason I’ve been hesitant to book it right now. But who DOESN’T love a good massage? This is the perfect gift idea for any mama who needs a stress free hour of relaxation.
A spa gift card is a great gift idea. You can head to a spa in your area, local grocery store, Target or convenience store to pick one up. OR you can go to spa finder online, groupon, or even order one on amazon here.
6 Mother’s Day Gift Basket
This is actually one of my all time favorite gifts to put together. From bridal shower gift baskets and Easter baskets to birthday gift baskets, I LOVE running to Target and compiling a basket full of fun goodies! Some ideas for what to put in the basket: candles, small home decor, small kitchen gadgets, hand towels, cute hair scrunchies, anything mini or small that would enhance the basket, books, candy, snacks, etc.
7 Kindle
This is such a good idea for the mamas who love a good book to read before bed, on the beach, during their lunch break, etc. I love mine! I just wish I could finish one book before starting the next! Haha
Shop the kindle here.
8 Ember Mug
I have the 10 ounce ember mug in white. I would definitely recommend getting the bigger size. I love that it comes with an app so I can set it to my perfect temperature and it let’s me know when it’s there!
Shop the ember mug here. Shop the ember mug in the following additional colors: white, copper, rose gold, gold, stainless steel, gray and red. Shop the travel ember mug here.
9 Remarkable Tablet*
I was gifted the original Remarkable Tablet several years ago for Christmas from Bob and it is definitely something I use all the time and LOVE. I no longer use a ton of of notepads, journals or notebooks. It literally feels like pen and paper. They have a newer version out, the Remarkable Tablet 2 and you can purchase that along with the many accessories available for it.
Shop the Remarkable tablet here.
10 Bouquet of Flowers | best mother’s day gifts
Besides googling local flower shops near you, you can also order flowers online from the company Bouqs.
They’re having 30% off site wide using the code BOUQSDAY.
11 Candles
My best advice? Head to Target, Home Goods or Home Sense for some of the best smelling candle options.
12 Pajama Sets
This is a really good gift idea as well! Target has some super comfy options (this would also be a great idea if you’re putting together a gift basket). Some other places that have great options are Eberjay, amazon, Little Sleepies, Cozy Earth.
Shop the silk Amazon set here and shop the Cozy Earth set here.
13 Stanley Tumbler
Would this even BE a gift guide without this one on the list? I mean, amirite? Hahah
Shop the Stanley tumbler here.
14 Ayla & Co Diaper Bags
If you know me, you know how much I LOVE my Ayla & Co diaper bags. Obsessed. I use the full sized on most occasions, the mini for days when I wont be out long and the fanny for errands and very on the go type of days. I love that the fanny fits diapers and wipes too!
The Ayla Bag
Shop the Ayla Bag here.
The Ayla Mini
Shop the Ayla Mini here.
The Ayla Fanny
Shop the Ayla Fanny here.
Shop all Ayla & Co diaper bags here.
15 Hatch
We love our Hatch! We got it before Liv was born and use it every single night.
It comes with an app and I have it set to automatically turn on at 7pm and turn off at 8am.
I don’t even have to think about it, it does it automatically. I have it set to the rain sound at 30% and the light on a warm color but the brightest setting until I have her down and then I shut off the light.
Shop the hatch here.
16 Hair Masques
There is no better way to treat yourself than with a good ole hair masque! These are weekly treatments that are so crucial for the strength, hydration and overall health of your hair. This also makes for a really great addition to that Mother’s Day basket if you’re doing one! Depending on your hair needs or goals (or the hair of the mama you’re gifting them to), one masque may be better suited for you than others.
If you have any questions about hair masques, you can send me an email at hello@kristenbrennan.com or you can reach out to me via Instagram DM.

17 Aesthetic Electric Kettle
The Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Gooseneck Kettle and the Fellow Corvo EKG Electric Tea Kettle
There is nothing better than having an electric kettle for those days you need to steep tea bags for iced tea or for an evening cup of tea. These are super chic looking and would make such a great home decor item for the kitchen as well.
Shop the stagg electric kettle here and the corvo electric kettle here.
18 Lululemon belt bag
These are all the rage right now and I personally love my Ayla fanny but had to include this on the list for those mamas you’re shopping for. These are the top 4 colors I saw on their website.
Shop the lululemon belt bag here and in the following colors: black, summer glow, white opal, and grey sage.
19 Béis Weekender Bag
This is SUCH a great gift idea. I love mine for those weekends away to the mountains or the shore or any other getaway. A few Christmases ago my brother bought one for his girlfriend and my sister-in-law also got one for Christmas. It’s definitely a hit for those mamas who like to travel or get away on the weekends with or without the kiddos.
Shop the Béis weekender bag here.
20 Dyson Cordless Vacuum
Hands down favorite thing in the home. No joke hahhaha. We also have a lab that sheds 24 freaking 7 so I HAVE to vacuum on the daily and this just makes it ten times easier. I don’t know what woman doesn’t love vacuuming, especially when they have a really nice cordless one to use like this one. It’s basically therapy.
Shop the cordless dyson vacuum here.
21 Nespresso Lattissima*
This is definitely on my wishlist because I would love to make lattes from home! Not only that, but can we take a moment for how CUTE this machine is? It would look good in any kitchen!
Shop the nespresso lattissima here.
22 Weighted Blanket
If the mamas in your life aren’t using a weighted blanket yet, they’re MISSING OUT. Ever since my now husband, then boyfriend Bob bought me this for my birthday years ago, my anxiety has gone WAY DOWN. No joke. It feels like you’re wrapped up in a hug and it hits all the right pressure points helping your release feel good hormones that help you relax and destress.
If that doesn’t sound like the PERFECT gift for Mother’s Day, I don’t know what is haha.
Shop the luna weighted blanket here.
23 Bath Caddy Tray | best mother’s day gifts
What mom doesn’t love soaking up in a hot bubble bath, candle lit, wine chilled in a glass while watching their favorite show? What a perfect way to wind down after the kids are in bed!
Shop the bath caddy tray here.
24 Viral Hair Growth Serum
This has been a game changer for problem areas where hair has never grown on my head! If you know someone who is struggling with hair thinning or going through postpartum hair loss, this viral hair growth serum will be super helpful!
Shop the Monat IR Clinical Hair Thinning Defense Scalp Serum. You can save 15% by signing up as a VIP customer and also get an additional 15-25% off with purchase plus. Sign up as a VIP customer here.
I saw a post recently of some other ideas for Mother’s Day gifts that were suggested by mothers and one of the ideas I saw was hiring a cleaning company to deep clean the house. I don’t think any mama would be mad about that! What a great idea!
I think my ideal Mother’s Day looks like: breakfast served in bed (wink wink to my husband if he’s reading this LOL) and honestly just a day spent with family where I don’t have to think about a SINGLE thing on my to do list haha!
What’s on your wishlist for Mother’s Day?
