Mothers are special creatures. I am lucky enough to have grown up with a mother who also doubled as my best friend. She has always been my biggest fan, my biggest cheerleader, and my biggest support system.
I love Mother’s Day because it is a day I get to show my mom my appreciation for her dealing with years of sass, picky dietary preferences, and multiple occasions of changing my mind about a prom/homecoming dress the day before an event. I can’t tell you how many times my mom and I ended up at the mall at 8:30 pm the night before an event trying to find a dress after I had changed my mind.
Since getting married last June, I now have two mothers to shop for. T’s mom has always treated me like a daughter and I’m so thankful to have gained another wonderful mom. Since I’ll be shopping for two moms this year, I started brainstorming some gift ideas early so I’d have time to purchase something and have it shipped to our respective mothers. Below is the list I brainstormed (Mary and Barb, if you are reading – stop!). Hopefully this helps you find something special for your momma (and if you do, I’ve included some discount codes so you can get her something amazing without breaking the bank)!
1. Jewelry
Every mother loves jewelry, ESPECIALLY if it’s personalized. I love this Harper Circle Swarovski Crystal Necklace because you can put you and your siblings names on it. Use the code “JORDAN” for 20% off this necklace!
If you’re not sure what kind of jewelry your mom likes, you can get her a Rocksbox subscription so she can try out different styles and figure out what she likes/doesn’t like. You can use the code “JORDANBERECZXOXO” to get her first month free.
2. Pamper
Every mother deserves some pampering. I love to get my mom a gift certificate to get a facial, mani/pedi or a massage. Right now Massage Envy is offering a free 60 minute facial session or 30 minute massage upgrade with $125 in gift card purchases.
If you’d like to pamper your mom with an at home teeth whitening treatment (here’s more information about my at home teeth whitening experience with Smile Brilliant), you can use the code “JORDANBERECZ25” to receive $25 off your Smile Brilliant order.
Sentimental
You can’t go wrong with getting your mother something sentimental. I love using Shutterfly to create personalized and sentimental gifts for my loved ones. Right now Shutterfly is having a Mother’s Day sale that includes 50% off hardcover books, 40% off cards and stationery, and 30% off everything else!
Bouquets
Send your mom a bouquet of flowers to let her know you are thinking of her, or if flowers aren’t her thing, send her a fruit bouquet or chocolate covered strawberries from Edible Arrangements.
Last but not least… a bag!
What woman doesn’t love a new bag? I think my mom would love this one, this one, or this one!
