Mother’s Day Gift Guide


For the first time in five years I will be spending mother’s day with my mom since she’ll be in Boston! I always send a card and gift, but it’s going to be so much more fun now that I’ll get to see her open the gift…the problem, she’s rather tough to buy for!! I’ve rounded up a few things that I think she’d really like – you know since she doesn’t give me any hints!! 




1//A perfectly simple, but beautiful bangle with a “xoxo” message that will always be worn


2// My mom loves the Josie Maran line from Sephora and it’s honestly the only thing she ever “asks” for! 


3// I learned a long time ago never to get my mom a gift card for a manicure or pedicure, she loves to do it herself!! Gifting her a CND Vinylux nail polishwould be right up her alley! 


4// It’s always easy when you know a woman’s favorites – this Lancome mascara is just that – a holy grail product for my mom and sister! 


5// While she’s doing her nails, she could be waiting for this hair maskto work it’s magic!! Seriously the Living Proof line is fantastic! 


6// I think I get my love of lounging from my mama and she needs this throw to curl up with! 


7// Funny thing about my mom (and most Russian mother’s) when you come home, you need to get your slippers on and these UGG ones could not be more perfect! 


8// Sunnies – she lives in Florida and Summer is coming – this is NEEDED! 


9// When all else fails – a nice card and her favorite chocolates will do the trick! πŸ™‚




To be perfectly honest, my mom just wants to spend time with us and a gift is not needed by certainly appreciated! Since she reads my blog – I actually didn’t put the real gift on here! 




What do you like to buy for your mom’s or special woman in your life?

    Good morning beautiful!! I think you nailed it! Those are wonderful ideas that any lady would love. My mom is a huge fan of the Josie
    Maran line too and the apricot vanilla whipped body butter is her favorite. Those throws look super cozy and she'd be wrapped up in your love πŸ™‚

    We always get my mom manicure gift cards. She loves to go. I am more of a DIY girl like your mom! So nice that you will be able to spend the day with her. My birthday actually falls on mothers day this year and I have to work…yuck I am off this weekend though to celebrate Cole's birthday so its a good trade off! XO

    So glad you get to spend Mother's Day with your mom this year! I'm hoping my mom can come visit me soon and we can go out and celebrate Mother's Day together for the first time in years as well. Love all of these gift ideas! That hair mask sounds amazing!

    Slippers are always a safe bet for my mom. I agree, though, the best gift is time with her!! So excited that I'll also get to spend mother's day with my mom this year – hope you have the best time!

    Yayyyy for spending Mother's Day with your mom! Enjoy every second of it! My mom was actually here in Florida for Mother's Day last year, but we were on vacation in Europe and she was doggy-sitting Roxy. Hoping she moves down here sooner than later so sending gifts in the mail will be a thing of the past πŸ™‚

    I think all of these are some great options! I usually send my mom flowers since she's 1500 miles away and I send links to my husband on what I want so that it's easy for him. This year, it's a new fancy heart rate monitor so I can see all the good I'm doing while busting my rear in barre and yoga! Not the traditional Mother's Day gift, but fitting for me πŸ™‚

    How exciting that you get to spend Mother's Day weekend with your mom!! I have to admit, Mother's Day gifts got a whole lot easier after Mia was born, ha ha! It's so hard to pick something for the women who basically have everything… but anything related to their grandkid?! It's a done deal that they will LOVE the gift πŸ™‚

    I love all your ideas and I think I need to try that hair mask myself!!! My hair needs some serious help right now. I always get my mom things I know she wont by for herself but would love to have. My mom is so easy to shop for that it is hard to narrow down my ideas. She usually goes to the beach on mother's day so we don't get to see her but this year she will be in town so my sister and I want to take her to lunch πŸ™‚ I hope you have a great time with your mom!
