Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

April showers bring May flowers, and May brings Mother’s Day! This year, go beyond the normal bouquet of flowers for mom, and give her the gift of comfort and style for her home. Whether you choose a piece of furniture that your mom is sure to love for years to come, or a fresh spring accessory, these gift ideas are sure to put a smile on mom’s face.

1. Jewelry Storage: Instead of the usual piece of jewelry, consider giving mom a beautiful—yet more practical gift: a place to store all of her favorite necklaces, bracelets and more. A jewelry armoire makes a useful addition to her bedroom and features convenient storage to help organize and protect her collection. Choose a traditional armoire or a jewelry mirror for convenient storage that will fit mom’s home décor style.

2. Wood Rocker or Glider: A beautiful wood or upholstered glider rocker is a perfect gift for any new momma. Choose a stylish and, most importantly, comfortable rocker, where she is sure to log countless hours rocking her sweet little baby to sleep. Whether it’s for the nursery or living room, there are many stylish options available, from traditional, wooden rocking chairs with comfortable pads to upholstered, swivel gliders. Of course, these rockers are good for more than just new moms. The experienced mom, grandma, and other family members are sure to enjoy gentle rocking while reading a book or otherwise relaxing.

3. Patio Chair or Lounger: Mother’s Day is another sign that summer days are soon approaching. Help mom get the most out of this season with a new patio chair or lounger. Whether you choose a stylish swivel lounge in outdoor wicker or a chaise lounge crafted from cast aluminum, an outdoor chair will take your porch, patio or poolside to the next level and is sure to be a favorite for years to come.

4. Candles: A can’t-go-wrong gift for mother’s and grandmothers alike, candles are a time-tested gift for mother’s day. Choose a light, spring scent to show your appreciation to all the mothers in your life, from your own mom to your spouse to mom friends who give valuable advice (and babysitting services!) throughout the year. Does the special mom in your life like farmhouse style? Tin candles or bagged jar candles may strike just the right note.

5. Wall Art: Switch up your gift of accessories this year! Instead of choosing a necklace, hat or scarf for mom, opt for room accessories that she’ll enjoy day-after-day. And you don’t have to worry about them matching her outfits. Switching out some accessories is an easy and inexpensive way to update your home for spring. Choose wall art featuring mom’s favorite flowers, framed art with an inspirational quote, or just paintings and other home décor accessories in her favorite shades.
