Top 10 Mother’s Day Gifts for Every Personality

1. New Mom (or let’s face it, any Mom). A lot of new moms feel this way, happy once second, on the verge of tears another. These quirky earrings sum it up perfectly, so she’ll know you understand her. The 14kt gold is the finest quality, which of course, she deserves - the happy face even has little diamonds. And it will show off her style and personality, even if she doesn’t have time to shower or get out of her sweats. Alison Lou is known for her craftsmanship and imaginative design, and these earrings will surely bring out the happy face feelings when the mom in your life sees them. If you really want to show her you know what she's going through, this 5-charm necklace sums it all up.

2. Proud & Sentimental Mom. There are lots of items out there that can be personalized with your kids or grandkids names, but we haven’t found any as chicly modern looking as this necklace from Jennifer Zeuner. And it’s subtle too, so at a glance, it looks like a cool necklace that she will be able to wear with her casual clothes and any night out. But she’ll know it actually packs a message close to her heart once you take a closer look. This 18” 18kt gold vermeil necklace starts with an abstract “I” charm that has a pave diamond in it, as well as a heart charm and hangs to a length that works with any neckline, so don’t worry about her getting a lot of wear out of it – she will. And the rest is up to you. You can add any letter charm(s) you like, from 1-5 charms. Add one letter to represent each child/grandchild or spell out “MOM” or “MOMMY”. Through the ‘shop it’ button, we are directing you to the page where you can choose any version, from 1 to 5 letters.

3. Mom in Need of a Little “Me” Time. Every mom needs “me” time, and we don’t know any mom that gets enough of it. Make sure she feels pampered with a little package of comfort. There is simply nothing softer than a cozy robe from Barefoot Dreams. Truly. You’ll want one for yourself. They use their iconic CozyChic® material to even make baby blankets because it is just that soft – and machine washable, which she’ll appreciate. (This is always a popular item, so if the size you need is sold out, try Amazon, too.) It is plush and cozy, but most of us find we wear it all year round. Barefoot Dreams also makes a lightweight version, perfect for the warmer months and women who get hot easily. Complete your gift by adding an eye mask that really works (and can also be used for travel), as well as a soothing and decadent-smelling champagne candle. And give her a night off to appreciate it all.

4. Style Maven Mom. There’s always an “it” bag of the season, and this season we’re completely on board with Ralph Lauren’s Ricky bag being one of them. You’ll appeal to both her fashion-girl sensibilities and her practical-side of investing in timeless pieces with this one. The Italian nappa leather (it doesn’t get better than that) and iconic Ralph Lauren hardware and quality never go out of style, especially in this RL gold color. It goes with everything for day or night, making it our top pick, but it comes in black, and a couple of pop colors through the ‘shop it’ button, too. She’ll love the drawstring style, which has made a huge comeback; and, that it can be worn both crossbody when she’s running errands and at the kids games, and dressier for a night out by using the tophandle. You’ll cement your place in her heart with this one, for sure. If you’re looking for a lower price point, Ralph Lauren’s Polo version evokes a similar fashionable look.

5. Hostess-with the Mostest Mom. If she’s the one that seems to always host the family for the holidays, rounds everyone up for a birthday celebration, or just enjoys a good get-together, she will fall as hard as we did for this TOM DIXON cake stand. It’s truly a work of art, with its sturdy white marble base and gold plated tray. She’ll be so obsessed with it, that when she’s not serving a cake (or cupcakes, or hors d'oeuvres) on it, she can use it as a centerpiece on the table any time – or all the time. It looks beautiful stacked with seasonal decorations or just on its own in its simple and beautiful design. And don’t forget the coordinating cake slicer. With free shipping and returns from The Dreslyn (the site we’re directing you to), you can buy it with confidence.

6. Constantly Cooking Mom. If she’s like many moms, she may feel like she’s in the kitchen more than anywhere else in the house. So, isn’t this a good place to have some words of love and inspiration to get her through the day? Kate Spade’s whimsical placements look great and will keep a smile on her face…especially, if she’s not the one setting the table. These cotton (machine washable) placements come in 6 colors, each with their own fun message, like “Seize the Day”, “Eat Cake for Breakfast”, and our favorite, “Kiss the Cook”. Rules to live by… They are sold individually, so you can mix-and-match.

7. Green Thumb Mom. If her idea of a great day is tooling around in the garden, this little gift can bring her love of planting into any room of the house. The complete message on this pot trio is “From little things, big things grow”. (Click through the ‘shop it’ button to see the 2nd picture illustrating the back of the pots, with the rest of the message.) Jen Monroe’s pottery is handmade in Iowa, yet finished so they can withstand indoor or outdoor use, and even the dishwasher, so they’re easy care for her. They’re great for growing herbs or little flowers and plants to keep around the house. And the message on the pots will constantly remind her of her favorite little ones – children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or the beloved family pets – and what they will or have already become.

8. Book Loving Mom. A book is a great escape from the hectic multi-tasking lives of every mother. But as a gift, we know it can be tricky – what books hasn’t she read? Does she use a kindle or still like the feel of actual pages? So, instead of indulging her hobby with an actual book, get her a candle from Paddywax’s Library Collection. Through the ‘shop it’ button, we’re sending you to a page of options, from a Jane Austen candle to Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, and more. Each candle has its own scent, reminiscent of the author’s work (like, the Mark Twain candle is tobacco, flower, and vanilla scented). They all have an old-school aesthetic with a quote from the author on the candle’s label, and arrive in a gift box that has the author’s bio on it. She’ll be excited to curl up on the couch, light this candle, and dig in to her most recent read. They’re great for hosting book club, too.

9. Animal Loving Mom. Some moms complain about the family pet, others dote on them like the favorite member of the family, but almost every mom loves her fur baby – sometimes it may seem like she loves him/her more than the rest of the family. This set of 8 stylish greeting cards are made from premium paper stock, with adorable graphics that are sure to bring a smile to her face…she can use one to thank you for this thoughtful gift. If she's more of an emailer, this sturdy canvas pouch is a fun alternative. We’re not forgetting about the cat lover, either.

10. Health Conscious Mom. She’ll always health conscious and sometimes she wants you to shower her in chocolates (and wine) and sometimes she’s not so happy that you did. Do you know a mom like that? Well, these soaps allow you to give her chocolates without the feelings of guilt when she indulges. Throw in some wine (soap), too. They are hand-made in Georgia with natural products that are nourishing to the skin, so the health benefits keep coming. Each set of 4 soaps comes in a pretty box, ready for gifting. They smell so delicious, she’ll – almost - want to eat them.
