Wow, I can't believe how April went by so quick and here we are, already on the first day of May!
Speaking of the month of May, it's one of my favorite months of the year. We have a good size yard and we grow flowers so it's beautiful here around this time of year.
And of course, the biggest thing about the month of May: celebrating Mother's Day! I'm all about celebrating moms. Moms deserve to be pampered all year-round. But on Mother's Day, there's no excuse not to make a special 'extra' effort to show and tell mom (or the mother figure in your life) just how much you love, honor and appreciate her.
If you're still looking for gift ideas for mom, I got a nice list for you today! At the end of the post, there's an awesome giveaway with super fun, yummy goodies for your mom (or for yourself)! Read on...
For any mom at any age
1. Flowers
You can't go wrong with giving mom flowers on Mother's Day. If you do end up giving her flowers, choose beautifully-arranged, handmade bouquets.
2. Bake something sweet
If you can bake, why not indulge mom's sweet tooth on Mother's Day? Bake something that you know she'll enjoy. I love this list of Mother's Day dessert gifts for ideas on this.
3. Personalized gifts
Get mom something she can keep and cherish for many years like a personalized easel art, canvas prints, mugs or even a personalized pillow. I love the lovely variety of personalized mom gifts from Tiny Prints and now through 05/02 only, you can get 50% off their photo gifts & home décor items!
Or, if you're feeling crafty, make her a set of painted wooden kitchen utensils in bright colors, or personalized cork coasters ...
or even make natural skincare straight from your kitchen like my DIY Mandarin Sugar Scrub.
4. I Love You Mom Terry Bathrobe
Pamper mom with a luxuriously soft, stylish bathrobe. I love this embroidered terry bathrobe from Wayfair.com! It's made from thick, soft, 100% genuine Turkish cotton and has got a cute "I Love You, Mom" embroidered on it.
For the mom who loves to pamper herself:
5. Body and skincare products
Most women, especially moms, love a new skincare product. Whether it be an anti-aging serum or just a new moisturizer, mom is sure to put you at the top of her favorites list (Shhh! that doesn't exist). Mom will certainly love the award-winning body skin care line from Kayo Better Body Care. Designed with face grade active ingredients to protect, enhance and rejuvenate 100% of the skin, not just the 5% on the face, Kayo delivers exactly what the skin on the rest of the body needs and provides the resources needed to fortify your body the way you do your face. Simply put, Kayo is designed to make your whole body look amazing!
The line includes:
The Beautiful Body Creme - Renew and restore radiance and youth to mom's skin with this hydrating body crème, infused with high performance ingredients like Kayo's Omega Oil Blend, Hyaluronic Acid. CoQ10, and extracts of Acai, Noni, Mangosteen and Pomegranate.
The Beautiful Body Oil - Luxurious, lightweight and hydrating oil that also has the power of a serum to energize the skin with powerful anti-oxidants, including CoQ10, Vitamin E, and extracts of Rosemary, Rice Bran, and Barley.
Firming Serum - This special serum is designed to help provide firmer, tighter looking skin for an overall slimmer look and contains botanical Firming Complex, plus Hyaluronic Acid and Kayo's Omega Oil Blend help to deliver extreme hydration to improve skin elasticity.
Remodeling Serum - This multifunctional hydrating serum has Copper Peptides, Hyaluronic Acid and Kayo's Omega Oil Blend to improve skin appearance, plus it's also got Kayo's antioxidant rich extracts of Acai, Noni, Green Tea, Pomegranate, Gogi, and Mangosteen to help energize the skin and make it radiant after each use.
Vitamin Boost - As the name says it, this lightweight formula will help brighten, hydrate and rejuvenate the skin, and contains essential vitamins: Vitamin B3, B5, C, D3, E and K to help replenish stressed, dull skin.
6. Hair care products
You could give mom something she can really use everyday. If you don't know what to get her, try the gentle, eco-friendly and affordable hair care products and skin care sets by Live Clean. Each collection set has the shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hand soap. Live Clean products contain plant derived and biodegradable ingredients, are sulfate and paraben-free, and the packaging is recyclable. They have three distinct collections: The Fresh Water Collection, The Argan Oil Collection, and the Coconut Milk Collection and are all available at Target, Walmart, and Whole Foods.
7. Skincare supplements
Beauty-conscious moms will love the supplements from NeoCell. This brand offers a variety of natural supplement products that support the collagen systems in our bodies to help maintain vibrant youth, radiant beauty, and total body wellness. New Beauty magazine called Biotin Bursts the beauty supplement of 2016, and Better Nutrition gave Keratin Matrix the 2017 Hair Supplement of the Year prize. Marie Claire magazine also published an article on NeoCell's chewable Beauty Bursts candies. Personally, I love the Biotin Bursts, the Super Collagen Powder, Derma Matrix and Glow Matrix from NeoCell!
For the spa-loving or mindful mom:
8. Spa or massage
Motherhood is a beautiful thing but it can also get overwhelming, depleting, and exhausting. Gift her a gift certificate to a local massage or spa salon she loves. Or, if she loves getting her nails done, get her a gift certificate to her favorite nail salon.
9. Aromatherapy Oil Diffuser
Does your mom use aromatherapy and essential oils to make her home or office smelling great? Then, get her an aromatherapy oil diffuser! I like this one I found on JossandMain.com. It uses modern ultrasonic technology and soothing aromatherapy and it's a got a lot of other features including an ionizer that disperses negative ions to lift one's mood and relieve stress! Really, this is my top favorite
10. A Beautiful Journal
Another great gift idea for mom is a journal that will help her de-stress and encourage her to spend time each day contemplating things that she's grateful for. I like this gratitude journal 
or this Simplified Journal (which I personally use) designed for 100 days of journaling, prayers, letters to little ones, brain dumps, big thoughts and great ideas. An accompanying book to inspire her would go great with the journal too. My personal picks on mindfulness and self-care books found on Amazon are listed below this post for more inspiration. 🙂

i would enjoy the Argan Oil Collection: Body Wash, Shampoo & Conditioner because i have heard really good things and i'm a sucker for good haircare. i also really like the Gratitude Journal . i love to write and like it even more when its something nice i can keep and look back on.
The gratitude journal is something I'd love - I'm very into journaling lately. Last year was the hardest of my life, literally almost killed me {health stuff, crazy stuff!} - so this would be a fave. I'm also a HUGE argan oil junkie, so I'd love to try these ones. And the skincare supplements sound helpful - health problems take a major toll on your looks, and my skin aged eleventy hundred years last year, lol. So I'd love to give those a try! Amazing prize package - and such wonderful mother's day gift ideas too!
I would be one happy mama with the skin care products, especially the firming cream, because...42. ? And I have been dying for an oil diffuser and I'd love those hair and skin supplements because I have heard great things. This is a super fantastic giveaway!
for me the perfect mother's day gifts are flowers from Teleflora’s flowers, Oil Diffuser and a Beautiful Journal . Happy Mother's Day to all the moms.
I would love the flowers to brighten my home. The bathrobe and skin products would be a great way to relax. Thanks for the giveaway.
first i would love the Aromatherapy Oil Diffuser because i love using essential oils and they make the house smell so good!! Second a massage would be heavenly for a stressful working mom!! and third, Body and skincare products because they are expensive and most moms wouldn't splurge on themselves!
My mother has lupus with kidney disease, so unfortunately I can't give her any skin or hair supplement, but I would love to give her a spa treatment as a thank you and relaxation from my sister, flowers, and the aroma diffuser with some oils to help her relax.
I love the massage and beauty products..and the flowers..love the pampering prizes
So many wonderful ideas to spoil any mom this Mothers Day!
I feel like you never can go wrong with a fresh bouquet of flowers either! There's something special how a bouquet of flowers can stop time for a moment, and bring a smile to your face.
Skin care products are such thoughtful gifts to give. Most mothers are living each chaotic day without thinking about themselves. They deserve to be pampered.
Lastly I admire the thought of giving a mother a journal. Motherhood is such amazing journey, why not write down these moments to cherish for years to come.
My top 3 favorite items are the flowers because I love to surprise my mom at work and make her feel special. I love the Neocell supplements because she needs to be a bit healthier (sorry mom) and I want to ensure she is taking care of herself, she's always helping everybody else so much she neglects self care. Which leads me to my third item, the skin care products. As I said, she needs some TLC and these would be great to have at home to pamper herself.
My top 3 are flowers, because she loves them, robe, because we all need one and the Body and skincare products.
The top three that i like is the massage, personal journal and personalized gifts. I chose these as i think every mom should be pampered and loved on mother's day. I think the journal would be something any mother would love and appreciate and i chose the personalized gifts as this usually means something special from the heart and something that would be cherished. A mother would love any massage and just time to herself.
Very good suggestions, I was actually seeking some good gift ideas for my mom. Thanks for sharing.
I love the idea of giving a personalized gift for Mother's Day. This is something we all did as little kids and mom always loved the thought and creativity that we put into it. Like the saying goes, "it's not the gift that matters, it's the thoughts put into it!" I know my mom tends to hold on to her personilized gifts as a memory of the love we have for her?
I would like to be able to give her every single gift. But, picking just a few, the first is the I Love You Mom terry bathrobe. My mom loves taking her bath and relaxing in a robe. I also like the personalized gift from Tiny Prints. I think this type of gift shows how much you think of them. Finally, the Skincare Supplements. Who doesn't like keeping their skin fresh and young looking?
I think they're all really great but my top 3 are the flowers, I love you Mom bathrobe, and the Kayo Better Body Care! Although, my Mom would love all of these beautiful options.
My top 3 are: personalized gifts, spa or massage and a beautiful journal! I think that personalized gifts are kind of a "gift that keeps giving" because your Mom can be reminded of you and the gift each time she sees it. Hey--which Mom can't use a spa day or a massage?! I can't think of one! My Mom would love a beautiful journal as she enjoys reading and writing in her spare and relaxation time!
I like the massage, journal, and bathrobe ideas! My mom would really enjoy all of them. Have a great weekend 🙂
Wow! This is a fantastic giveaway for MothersDay!
Your list is perfect for me..every single thing.
I love the lavender cake..so pretty and a sweet gourmet treat is alway welcomed.
Good skincare too.
Ditto for hair masks.
Spa day is always fun..and a warm cozy robe.
Thanks so much!

The diffuser is great! My mom has a lot of medical problems - takes so many prescriptions - that I'd like her to try something natural too. And the bathrobe - she has an old, torn one and could really use another. And the Kayo Better Body Care would be great for her too. She has some skin irritations, and needs gentle products to use. Thanks for the chance! (And Happy Mother's Day!)
So many wonderful gifts. I would really love the spa day, the journal and the beautiful flowers. The spa day would be amazing because I never get time to pamper myself. I would love the journal because I've kept one since I was a little girl. The flowers would be so lovely I have the perfect spot for them in my family room where everyone could see their beauty
She would love the Journal to write down her thoughts, the shampoo and conditioner is something she could definitely use and of couse the spa day would be her favorite!
So many great mothers day gift ideas. I think the one I am going with is a spa!
I Love the Aromatherapy Oil Diffuser- Kayo Better Body Care-Journal .
These would be perfect gifts for me or my mom.
These are all lovely ideas. My favorite picks are the aromatherapy oil diffuser, Kayo Better Body Care and Teleflora’s Splendid Garden Bouquet because I would love all these myself!
I just want a spa day! that would make me happy
I like the DIY scrub because it's a scrub which will help exfoliate my skin, the kayo body butter to keep my skin hydrated and the neocell to help keep my skin feeling and looking young
I know Mom would love the A Beautiful Journal this one would come from the heart! Another great one she would love is the Kayo Better Body Care a perfect pampering gift! All of the products are perfect for every Mom. The Argan Oil Collection: Body Wash, Shampoo & Conditioner is always a treat!
AS cliche as it sounds, flowers have always been my favorite. They are just so sentimental.
Thanks for the gift suggestions. I think I found the perfect gift for my sisters. However, for my mom, I think she would like the diffuser and oils. She is having a difficult time falling asleep at night and maybe this would help her relax.
Those are beautiful ideas. There are so many things that we can give our mothers, things that they will find special and useful at the same time. You definitely nailed this gift guide.
These are great suggestions! I actually love all these!!
These all look like good suggestions.
I am always a fan of the spa gift.
I love the journal idea. There is something about handwriting your thoughts that is more meaningful than typing them in a document. I hope when I'm old and gray, I'll have multiple journals full of thoughts and experiences.
I'd love to receive any of these on Mother's Day! Flowers, eats, beauty products... it's all good!
I'd be super excited to receive any gifts like this. I think my mom would be too. Great ideas!
They are all fantastic gift ideas...
Flowers,Terry cloth bath robe, and the spa treatment.. are my favorites.
I love to give personalized gifts if I can. And my mom always love to get spa gift certificates for a mani/pedi/facial. This year she's really into essential oils, so room diffusers are high on her wishlist too...
What an excellent list and great ideas! I'm so using this for my mom!
Wow, so many awesome products. I would absolutely love the Aromatherapy Oil Diffuser. I have been wanting to try one for ages now but I keep putting it off as I wasn't sure which one to try because there are tons! I really want to dip into essential oils! Also, the Kayo Remodeling Serum sounds amazing. I am all about skincare lately and I really want to find a great regiment to keep my skin youthful and firm! Lastly, a spa day sounds perfect. I can imagine just relaxing and leaving my worries at the door for the time being, lol. xo
I would love a trip to the spa for Mother's Day. I would also accept baked goods!
This is an awesome round up of gift ideas! This is my first Mother's Day so I may need to show my husband this post haha!
These are all great gift ideas. I usually send my mom some flowers along with updated photos of all the grand kids. Thanks for the great giveaway!
These are such wonderful ideas! The giveaway is FANTASTIC! Thank you so much!
Of course the beautiful flowers are first from Teleflora. Then a relaxing Turkish Bath Robe. Then on to the Diffuser and oils for relaxation for mom.
These are all great gift ideas for mom. I would love a spa day!
I need to get that terry bathrobe for my mom. She will absolutely love it! Thanks for the great ideas.
I think baking a sweet treat for mom is a great idea! Who doesn't love delicious nom noms?!
