May is one of my favorite months because both Mother\u2019s Day and my birthday take place in it. I try to celebrate my mom throughout the year and our special<\/a> outings<\/a> don\u2019t always take place in May. However, I appreciate that there is a day that almost everyone is focused on honoring moms and the mom-like figures in their lives. I just mailed off my mom\u2019s gift today so that it would get to her on time. If you\u00a0want to know the gifts that are on many moms\u2019 wish lists (in addition to their kids\u2019 handmade gifts), below are\u00a07 of the best last-minute Mother\u2019s Day Gift ideas.<\/p>\n

1. Mother\u2019s Day Beauty Gifts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so I would only get beauty products or services that I know my mom likes. (For instance, I love massages and pedicures. My mom hates them.) Personally, I just had my stylist<\/strong> come over to cut and color my hair on Monday as an early Mother\u2019s Day gift. She recommended that I condition my hair before washing it with a mixture of Jamaican black castor oil<\/a>, coconut oil<\/a>\u00a0and inexpensive conditioner like Pantene\u2019s Smooth and Sleek conditioner<\/a>. She also recommended a satin lined cap (like the Slap Cap). A bundle of those four things would be a sweet gift from one of my kids.<\/p>\n

On the topic of beauty, I am looking for a berry lipstick that looks good against brown skin. I made the mistake of buying two drugstore brands this week\u2026and they both look awful on me. I have to go to Sephora, MAC or a department store where I can actually test products before buying them. I also ordered a new perfume that I was so excited about based on reviews\u2026until I smelled it. \u201cMy guys\u201d said that it smells like a combination of hand sanitizer and public bathroom hand soap. \ud83d\ude41 \u00a0 I\u2019m back to the drawing board for both a lipstick and a perfume. If I don\u2019t find a new fragrance, I\u2019ll stick to my current La vie est belle<\/a> scent, which is lovely.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Mother\u2019s Day Educational Gifts<\/strong><\/p>\n

If there is something that a mom has been mentioning that she would like to learn or grow in, then a book or class in that area would make a great option. \u00a0Books are one of my favorite ways to learn. Two books that have been especially helpful to me in the last year are Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less<\/em><\/a> and The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Mother\u2019s Day Fashion Gifts<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are so many lovely items out there for stylish moms. Jeans, a purse, a pink dress and some tees are on my \u201cwish list\u201d. (Shhh. I admit that I already bought the \u201cWoke Mom<\/a>\u201d tee from my family\u2019s upcoming \u201cOur Family Tees\u201d line for myself.)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Mother\u2019s Day Food Gifts<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m a big fan of brunch<\/a> BUT I recommend that you either prepare\u00a0brunch at home\u00a0or<\/strong><\/span> take your\u00a0mom out the week before or after holidays. It\u2019s less crowded and rushed then. Another great food option is to give a mom her favorite type of food or beverage in a special way. For instance, I\u2019m a tea person. After dropping the kids off at school, I have a cup of herbal tea to ease into the rest of the day. As such, tea would be a perfect gift for a mom like me. I have mentioned Adagio Teas \u201ctea of the month club\u201d as a gift option in the past. Their PR person actually reached out to me recently, so I\u2019m excited to be adding their Rooibos tea<\/a> to my herbal tea collection this year.<\/p>\n

5. Mother\u2019s Day Home Gifts<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would not get a mom a home appliance gift unless she specifically asked for it. Several of my mom friends are fans of the Instant Pot<\/a> right now, so that might<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0be one well-loved exception. Personally, I asked for a housekeeper to come in and deep clean the kitchen as a gift. It\u2019s the one area of my home that I really<\/strong><\/span> don\u2019t like to deep clean myself!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

6. Mother\u2019s Day Paper Gifts<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the mom that you are shopping for is a paper lover (like me!) you can\u2019t go wrong with a variety of gifts. Journals, thank you cards<\/a> and notepads are all great options.<\/p>\n

\"Tiny<\/a><\/p>\n

7. Mother\u2019s Day Tech Gifts<\/strong><\/p>\n

I received my tech gift (a rose gold Apple iPhone 7 Plus<\/a>) from my husband earlier this year because my old phone died after falling in the toilet. I love how big it is. Before I chose my new phone, Verizon had sent me a Google Pixel<\/a> phone to review. It was great and takes (slightly) better photos than the iPhone but I just didn\u2019t want to switch over to an Android phone. That is why I decided to have Reggie buy the iPhone instead. My next big technology request will be a Macbook Pro<\/a>. (I go through laptops every few years and my current one is on its last legs.)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

In any event, I hope that these prompts help you with last-minute Mother\u2019s Day gift ideas. Each mom is unique so be sure to give each one what they<\/strong><\/span> would like\u2026not just what you want to get them. You can\u2019t go wrong with that strategy!<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
