Mother's Day is coming up and we all have different feelings about this day. For many, it's a day to reflect on all that the mother does for the family. To spoil her, or at least to take a moment to say "Thank you and I love you!" But we have to remember for some, it's not all rainbows and butterflies. Some women are struggling to become mothers, some are grieving the loss of our own mothers, some have a tense relationship with their mother / mother-in law / baby mama or even their own children! No matter the case, we can all agree that without mothers, none of us would be here. It becomes our responsibility to keep her happy and small gestures like Personalized gifts for mom are really helpful to bring a smile on her face. So, to commemorate the day just how you want to, if that means gifting yourself or a mother with something lovely, unique, and treasurable - anything from a personalized necklace to a full day of treatments at Spa MD to a gorgeous set of huggie earrings (adding a bit of beauty and bling without being unpractical for a busy mom - from round to square with or without diamonds, these Aurate earrings are so pretty and exactly what this mama needs!!), then this is the post for you! I bring you my unique Mother's Day Gift Guide!

Personalized Jewelry
I have been wanting this myself for ages, and just hadn't made the splurge or hinted at it to my partner in crime, oops! But I got a beautiful personalized piece of mothers' jewelry thanks to oNecklace who provided me with this gorgeous Three Tone Ring Engraved Mother Necklace, currently 40% off, selling for just $47.95!! Beyond having your children's names engraved (smallest ring is 24K gold plated, next is rose gold, and largest ring is 925 sterling silver), you can also customize the clasp (lobster or spring-ring clasps) and chain length (with 14 - 22" available). oNecklace has TONS of other designs available - mother jewelry, and non-mother necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, for kids and adults. oNecklace has been around since 2012 and has been featured in British Vogue and on Pretty Little Liars and The Talk, they offer free shipping and have a 90-day return policy, so what do you have to lose!? Check 'em out!

Mugs, Tumblers, & Glasses
Whether she's a wine lover, coffee addict, tea enthusiast, fitness freak, or just your average Jane struggling to stay hydrated, you can't go wrong with a fun or stylish beverage container. Pick out one with a silly catch phrase, an inspirational quote, or even some photos of your kids - the sky's the limit! I'm loving the motherhood line of glasses by Pearhead, featuring wine glasses (affiliate link) and ceramic coffee mugs (affiliate link).

Subscription Box
Nothing says love like a box of goodies delivered right to their doorstep! Thankfully there are a bazillion subscription boxes out there to choose from!! Got a fitness or yoga lover? Check out my review (and $10 off coupon) for Yoga Club!! For regular clothing (men, women, and kids) try Stitch Fix (affiliate link).

Intangible Services
Sometimes the most thoughtful gifts don't come in packages with pretty bows on top. What about booking her a day at the spa, or that cut and color she's had on the back burner for months (or years) because she just hasn't had the child-free time to "pamper" herself on such a "luxury"!? Heck, you can even book a sitter for her to have some free time - check out Sitter City!

Professional Photography
When's the last time your family had a professional photoshoot? Book one to commemorate Mother's Day this year, or every year! Or, just for the mama, how about a Boudoir Shoot? It's certainly not for everyone, but would be an experience she'll never forget (and probably some photos she and her partner will appreciate having decades down the road!). If you don't know of a great local photographer, hey, there's an app for that, with plenty of "on-demand" photography booking options these days. With Shoott in NYC, for example, you book on demand (or ahead) and get a free on location 30 minute photo shoot and only pay for the photos you keep (each is $15 or less)!! Some others include PhotoSesh, Snappr, and Snapped.

Other Ideas:
Support your mama friends by shopping through them!! Here are a few great Mother's Day gift ideas from my mom friends:
  • Pampered Chef - Now, don't be a rookie and get her a blender or a "necessity" that shouldn't count as a "gift"... how about a Wine Tumblers & Bag, Premium Cocktail Set, or Cold Brew Pitcher!
  • Rodan + Fields - Help mom age backwards. Give the gift of youth this Mother's Day with R+F's Redefine or Reverse regimens and show mom the love she deserves! 
  • Burst Toothbrush - again, maybe not a great gift for others but who says you can't treat yourself to healthier (and prettier) teeth and gums? This sonic toothbrush has been rocking the dental world and is recommended by thousands of dentists and hygienists!
  • Kigurumi Oneise Costumes - have an anime / kawaii / Japan loving mom friend? Or want to buy a cute cuddly costume / pajamas to match your kids!? Go get you some Kigurumi hooded onesies!!
  • YoRo Naturals - struggle with your eczema prone skin, or know another mother who does? Check out this amazing Organic Manuka Honey Soothing Skin Cream (affiliate link) or their skin healing zinc & tencl infused fabric RemedyWear (affiliate link)!
  • Apparel by Brooklyn BoyMom - With logos like "comin' in hot" and "it's all grace" - these are fun, cute, and inspiring!
  • Get style help online, over the phone, or in person (at the shop in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn) at mama run Ogo New York - only a $30 commitment which will go toward purchases made!
  • Kannaway - Give mom the gift of all natural hemp-infused skin care products, in addition to a full line of natural hemp products including CBD supplements.

As a mom of two, I most appreciate Mother's Day Gifts of time or experience. So I don't ask for gifts per se, but plan an outing to do with my family instead. Also, gifting things like a class, a date, a night out at the symphony/etc, or a massage are always so welcome!

I think your best gift to your mother will be the CBD products which can really help her to improve her health. They can release the tension and stress out of them and will live happily and peacefully,
