And of course I had to include a photo of my beautiful mom
I just realized Mother’s Day is in a little over a month and started freaking out! I always whether plan months in advance or completely forget important dates, there is no in between. Anyways, with this special day being kinda close I decided to go ahead and get started with the gift guides! Now, we all know there is a difference between getting your mom a gift and a good gift. So, if you’re stuck for inspiration, and have no idea where to start, I got you. Here are a couple Mother’s Day gift ideas. And if your mom is like mine and literally can never be pleased, good luck!

Flowers & Chocolates
This is a huge NO or a somewhat no, depends on the type of mom (I guess?). But, I feel like flowers and chocolates are more add-ons and not gifts themselves. Yes, they’re cute but they are not enough. Especially, not enough for someone as special as your mom. (this also applies to coffee mugs!).
These are obviously classics and look so cute and taste yummy, but before you decide to place an order online for a flower or edible arrangement, think twice. Sure, flowers and chocolates are cute details, but that’s all they are, just details. So, you could get flowers or chocolates but with something else and it will for sure make up for the perfect gift!
When it comes to selecting flowers, try to make it as personal as possible. Think about what your mother’s favourite kind of flower is. Or think about her favorite color and start there. Because, as said before, flowers are kinda basic, so try to spice it up by adding some personal details.
Spa Day
Buying your mother a treatment or day at the spa is a fantastic way of showing her how much you appreciate her. It’s also a great way for her to just relax for an entire day!
Spa days come in all sorts of shapes and sizes so before you book your mom in for some pampering, think about what would suit her best. Would she enjoy going away for a weekend? Would she prefer a long massage or get more out of some beauty treatments? Would she enjoy taking you along so you can spend some quality time together, or would she rather enjoy the experience alone? All of these are important things to consider in order to make the experience truly special for her.
A New Experience
Some mothers like traditional gifts whereas others enjoy something a little more left-field. If your mother is the adventurous type or you want to encourage her to get out a bit more, why not buy her an experience as a gift? Whether it’s bungee jumping, pole dancing, a helicopter ride, race-car driving, painting and wine tasting or ceramic bowl painting, there’s an experience out there to suit every personality.
And if you’re not sure what she’d like to do, why not buy her a voucher for a website which offers many different experiences? You can pay for the experience and let her choose what she’d like for herself. I’d leave some options I thought were cool below, but this obviously varies on the area were you live.
Something personalized
We’ve talked a lot above about making a gift personal, but go one step further and have your own custom design printed on a gift. Maybe a big framed photo? Or a mug with your face on it? Or maybe even a shirt with you in it? Lots of places, such as Davson Sales and Shutterfly, offer a range of gifts for you to customize.
Jewelry
Diamonds are a women’s best friends, right? Maybe you don’t have the budget for a diamond, but any jewelry will just do! I mean, try to name a woman who doesn’t like jewelry…
There are so many cute pieces that are long lasting and affordable. Also, if you’re looking for something affordable and that will last for a long long time, then you’re better off getting something silver than gold, because silver is more affordable. Also, 14k gold platted over brass, will eventually tarnish. So, shop smart if you are going for a gold piece!
Talking about customization, there are also some places that allow you to do this online, like JEWRL. You could get your mom a mane necklace, or a bracelet with something engraved on it, the ideas are endless!
