Mother’s Day Flowers and Gift Ideas for Different Types of Moms

It can be really hard to find the perfect gift for the superwoman in your life. If you’re not sure where to start, consider these Mother’s Day gift ideas that celebrate a very special woman who plays a very special role in your life.

For Moms Who Love to Cook

So, your mom wears the chef’s hat in your home? It seems cooking is her love language. Share the love right back by upgrading her kitchen tools or treating her to a fancy kitchen machine this Mother’s Day. 

Get her a new set of plates or cooking utensils, a stunning Dutch oven maybe, or even just a gorgeous embroidered dishtowel to replace her scratchy old ones. Pair your chosen gift with an ensemble of pink and cream roses on a teacup vase – the perfect Mother's Day flowers that celebrate the Queen of the Kitchen.

For Health-Conscious Moms

Smoothies, superfoods, organic goodies, all-natural and chemical-free cleansers, essential oils, yoga and meditation – anything related to any of these will please an eco-conscious Zen mom. Celebrate her this Mother’s Day by treating her to wellness gifts. Get her a new aromatherapy diffuser, a set of cruelty-free skin care products, or a meditation ritual kit. Spruce up her at-home yoga wardrobe by getting her new pairs of chic and ultra-stretchy leggings. Keep her wellness and fitness meter charged up by surprising her with a new juicer mixer, a smartwatch, or a year-long subscription to yoga or mindfulness classes. Don’t forget to give her a Mother’s Day bouquet that reflects her health-oriented character. Pick a floral ensemble with immaculate white flowers interspersed with greens and touches of blue.

For Career Moms

What to give to working moms on Mother’s Day? Give them something that they actually want, and use. Think of the things that can make her busy working-mom’s life so much easier. A robotic vacuum, a voice-controlled smart speaker, a slow cooker, a coffee maker, a new timepiece, and a planner or journal all make thoughtful and practical gifts for busy moms. You may also opt to give something that will remind them of work-life balance. Consider giving pampering items like a neck or foot massager, bath bombs, a one-step hair dryer, an aromatic eye pillow that relieves tension and stress, and cosmetic and beauty gift items that can make her look and feel ready to conquer any day. Sweeten your gift further by adding a gorgeous ensemble of red and orange roses set in a classy vase and ready for display.

For Crafty Moms

For the ultimate Maker in your life, the best gift is something you’ve also made. But in the unfortunate case that you didn’t get Mom’s crafty gene, you can always resort to getting something from a store - one that will celebrate mom’s artistry and creativity, one that will spark her imagination. Your favorite creator will surely appreciate a needle felting kit, a weaving loom kit, or a jewelry-making kit. A DIY miniature dollhouse kit, a cutting and writing machine, a project bag and a project journal all make fantastic gifts, too. Of course, you have the option to help her take her creativity to the next level by getting her a brand-new professional sewing machine, upgrading her craft room, or getting her a lifetime craft subscription box. On Mother’s Day, remember to send her flowers still for handcrafted flower arrangements remain to be a crafter mom’s first love.

For Nature-Loving Moms

A holiday travel gift isn’t the safest choice to give this Mother’s Day but don’t worry; there are still plenty of gifts you can give to show your love and appreciation to an outdoorsy mom. Help her stay cozy by sending her a lightweight blanket that works as a throw, a warming cape, and a sleeping bag. Pick a stylish pair of sunglasses to go with a beautiful outdoor-inspired wall art and a camping gift basket with her favorite snacks and sweets. A smartwatch or activity tracker is something an on-the-go mom would appreciate. You can also simply bring the outdoors in by gifting her with a terrarium, a selection of potted plants, or a gardening kit. Completely fill her home with beauty from nature by adding some amazing geodes, crystals, and gemstones. Milky white opal beads will remind her of snowy mountains while jasper cabochons and brown agate tumbled stones will make her feel the vibrations of the earth. Obviously, an arrangement of fresh-cut flowers will make her Mother’s Day complete.
