1. Mug: I don’t know about you, but all the moms I know love a warm cup of coffee or tea in the morning. Make it special with a cute mug!
2. A handbag: Shopping for the mom who has it all? Chances are she hasn’t gotten her hands on one of these new luxury bags yet. *Use code LUSHTOBLUSH for 20% off!
3. Spa day: What better way to treat Mom than to get her the gift of bonding time? Book a mani/pedi for two and treat yourself while you’re at it. Out of your price range? Put together a basket of pampering products!
4. Scented candle: Help Mom unwind at the end of the day with a soothing scented candle. I’m personally obsessed with these from L’Occitane.
5. Perfume: Tory Burch’s first fragrance is definitely one for mom – she’ll love the elegant, clean scent.
6. Potted plants or Flowers: Skip the traditional route and get your mother flowers that will last this year, or opt for a pretty plant that will freshen her home’s air!
With Mother’s Day right around the corner, it’s time to get shopping for that special gift. For me, Mother’s Day is always a great opportunity to give something from the heart. I usually make something, give a personalized gift, or pick something sentimental.
My mom and I have been drinking coffee together since I was about 9 or 10 (yeah, they didn’t know kids shouldn’t have it back then…?), so a super cute mug or anything coffee related is always something special for us. That’s why when Teavana (a Starbucks company) contacted me to spread the word about their new Mother’s Day promotion, I knew I had to jump at the opportunity. I can’t be the only one who has a special warm beverage connection with my mom, right?
And although I have always been a coffee drinker, I actually really liked the tea I tried at the Teavana store yesterday. It was the Oprah Chai Tea, which officially launched yesterday, Tuesday, April 29 in Teavana stores nationwide. Want to try it for yourself? There will be a Motherโs Day sampling event on May 11 from 2-3:30 p.m. It will only be taking place in select stores around the U.S., so check your area to see where you can attend. In Atlanta, it will be at the Lenox Mall.
And check yesterday’s post for another giveaway – just in time for Mother’s Day!Good Luck!
What are you getting Mom for Mother’s Day?

Thanks for these ideas! I still have no idea what to get for Mother’s Day yet!
May 1, 2014 @ 9:21 am
My mom is a new-ish widow. Before my dad died, he was her weatherman. So I am getting her a fancy weather station that tells her the inside and outside temp, forecast, wind, humidity, all that stuff. Hope she loves it!
May 1, 2014 @ 10:07 am
My mother loves flavored coffees. I always try to find different or Exotic flavors for her
May 1, 2014 @ 10:13 am
I haven’t figured out what I’m going to get my mother yet, need to start working on it ASAP!

Great picks! I got my mom a necklace from an Etsy store – Wells Marie! Their jewelry is beautiful and based on literature, so I know she’ll love it.
May 1, 2014 @ 10:33 am
So funny — I was in Starbucks today and saw the advertisement for this tea. I am excited to try it. Beautiful pictures of you and your mother! <3
May 1, 2014 @ 10:34 am
I always have the hardest time buying for my mom because usually if she needs something, she gets it herself. So I usually go for something sentimental like a cute picture frame of us together.
May 1, 2014 @ 10:35 am
Usually my sister and I try to go in on something together so we can get her one big nice present that neither of us could afford on our own. We still have some planning to do this year!
May 1, 2014 @ 10:50 am
Love this gift guide!! Haven’t figured out what I’m getting this year, but it will probably include something handmade and a day spent together!
May 1, 2014 @ 10:51 am
Usually we try to spend a girl’s day together to celebrate. This year I designed a necklace for her to wear to the Gala she was attending in April. So, I know it was a little early, but I wanted to make sure she felt extra special on her big night out!
May 1, 2014 @ 10:53 am
I haven’t decided yet…my mom is so hard to shop for I will probably get her a gift card to one of her favorite stores!
May 1, 2014 @ 11:08 am
Got my mom a monogrammed tote from LL bean for all of her knitting gear! Hope she loves it ๐
May 1, 2014 @ 11:11 am
My mom’s from Costa Rica, so she loves coffee, naturally ๐ I plan on getting her angel cards… she’s really into spiritual and new age stuff, so it’s definitely something that she’ll love. I always try to put thought into whatever gift I am giving, whether its family or friends!

My dad’s Costa Rican! Small world.
May 1, 2014 @ 11:14 am
I am past due with my daughter and there is a very good chance she will be born right around Mother’s day. Therefore I am giving my mom her first granddaughter. My mom doesn’t like getting things or items she can’t use so I thought I would try to capture photos of her and my daughter (whenever she comes out) and give her a book of ultrasound, belly bump, and actual baby photos in addition to lots of snuggle time!
May 1, 2014 @ 11:20 am
Flowers for her garden

This year, I got my mom a meaningful experience as a gift–we will be attending the NY Mets “Bark In the Park” with my pup (her fur-grandbaby!) on Mother’s Day, in honor of her mom, who LOVED baseball!
May 1, 2014 @ 12:28 pm
You have the best giveaways ever… You and your mom are too cute! Love those sweet pictures. Will definitely have to check out the handbag ๐ You know my addiction. It stems from my mother, so I know she would love that as a gift! Great picks!

May 2, 2014 @ 11:11 pm
Considering having flowers sent to her work? Or maybe treating her to a massage or facial? It’s the trickiest thing to navigate to avoid the cliche. But definitely going for the specialist of bonds, celebrating a moment that means something to you both, seems to be the best route!
