Unique Mother's Day Gift Ideas
As moms, we know that the most endearing Mother's Day gifts are those with a
personal, sentimental touch. This Mother's Day, we've compiled some suggestions
for those gifts we'd most like to actually receive ourselves.
(Feel free to or to your spouse, as well.)
1. Photo Books
You don't have to be a scrapbooking enthusiast to create a memory book your mom
will treasure for years to come.
Lots of photo processing websites offer an amazing variety of items that you can
add simple photos to: everything from aprons to keychains to mousepads to
coasters and jewelry boxes.
My favorite gift idea this year is called the
Celebrate Her Photo Book by Shutterfly. All it takes is about 30 photos (and
your feelings, of course.). You can create a stunning photo book with a
personalized matching card in no time, and you can even order multiple copies
for grandparents, sisters, and friends. If you are stuck for words to accompany
your photos, check out Momscape's collection of poignant
Mother Quotes.

Celebrate Her Photo Book >
(Note, we also compile
Shutterfly.com Coupon Codes here, so you'll want to check for a coupon code
before you make a Shutterfly purchase.)
2. A Weekend Getaway
Moms always love to get away from it all for a few days with her loved ones. And
it doesn't have to be super expensive. Find a weekend that works for her and
then check for good deals on
Site59.com. Site59 allows you to snag fantastic travel bargains on very
short notice. First, the site locates unsold airline seats, hotel rooms, and
rental cars, and then it reassembles them into discount travel packages that you
can book up to 3 hours before departure. We've collected a number of
Site59 special offers and coupon codes are here. And here are some
great last minute travel
deals under $250.
3. Sentimental Jewelry
When looking for jewelry for mom, she'll love it most if there's a personal
connection to the piece. Consider a charm bracelet (either traditional or
Italian) that celebrates a recent achievement or event. You might also choose a
locket with a family photo or a mother's ring or pendant featuring the
children's birthstones.
We love
Blue Nile's selection of lockets and charm bracelets. [We have also compile
all the latest
BlueNile.com Coupon codes here, so check for special offers before you buy.]
Here is Blue Nile's collection of
Top Ten Gift Ideas for Mother's Day.
Red Envelope.com also
offers a beautiful selection of Mother's Day jewelry.Here are two necklaces we
love, both by RedEnvelope.com:
Charm necklace, features a cluster of brushed 18K gold plated charms each of
which holds one of two tiny photos of her loved ones.
Family Tree Birthstone Necklace
SmartBargains.com and
Overstock.com
both have terrific jewelry markdowns throughout the year, as well.
4. Flowers
Flowers are so indulgent, so beautiful, so luxurious. They say, "You are so very
important to me."
I love the bouquet pictured at the right, from 1800flowers.com. It's so
stunning and 'springy', and it's appropriately titled "Mother's
Love Bouquet."
The pitcher is food-safe, so she'll enjoy it for a long time to come.
Here are the latest
1800flowers.com coupon codes and promotions.
5. A Day at the Spa - Spa Gift Certificates
Choose the spa treatment for her, or allow her to decide whether she'd like a
body wrap, pedicure, massage or all three. Better yet, go with her and enjoy
some pampering yourself.
SpaFinder.com offers luxury spa gift baskets as well as gift certificates
for spa services at leading spas around the country. I've yet to meet a mom who
wouldn't love a gift from
SpaFinder
[Momscape.com has compiled
SpaFinder coupons
and special offers here.]
6. Make a Donation
Make a charitable donation in your mother's name to the cause she cares
most deeply about. Moms love to know that their compassion and deep sense of
caring has grown past the bounds of even their own families.
