The Fashionably Late Blonde: Mother's Day

I'm not going to lie... it kind of snuck up on me. If you are in need of a last minute gift you should definitely check out the gift guide below. All these items are from Amazon and will arrive in time for Mother's Day this Sunday.

Kindle

Perfect if your mom likes to read. I got one last year and I love it!

Gold Mama Necklace

This is so cute, especially for a new mom.

Espresso Machine

I feel like this is always a good gift. If your mom is still rocking an old school coffee pot this will definitely be a welcomed upgrade.

Waffle Robe

This seems super lightweight which is perfect heading into the warmer months.

Chanel Coffee Table Book

Coffee table books are always a great gift. They can be easily tailored to different likes and hobbies. This is a fashion one, but if your mom likes travel get her one about that.

Wine Chiller & Aerator

This is something most people could definitely use. I like that it's a 2 in 1 gift.

Slippers

I always think slippers are a good gift for mom. Maybe because mine always asks for them. haha

Robot Vacuum

Make her life easier with a robot vacuum.

Edge Wine Glasses

I love these glasses. I have the Crate & Barrel version, but everyone raves about these as well.

Volcano Candle

I love giving candles as gifts. Especially more expensive ones. I feel like people usually won't buy them for themselves, which is why they make great gifts.

What's everyone's plans for Mother's Day? Hopefully you are able to spend it with your mom.

And just remember that Mother's Day may not be an easy day for all.

Reach out to your friends that may have lost their mom or don't have them in this season of their life.

If you know a friend is struggling to become a mom send her a sweet text to let her know you are thinking of her. I think this graphic says it best:

Mother's Day Gift Guide

Can y'all believe Mother's Day is 2 weeks from Sunday?

In some ways this year is flying by and in other ways it is dragging on.

Today I have rounded up some great gift ideas for your Mom.

Hopefully things will be a little more back to normal by then and you will be able to celebrate with your Mom in person. (Not via ZOOM)

I decided to do this gift guide a little differently. I picked a few different "categories" and rounded up a couple ideas for each one. I did try to keep it budget friendly as I know some people are still out of work. I'm sure all any Mom wants this year is to be able to hug their child in person, but it's always great to spoil her on Mother's Day!

This one is right up my Mom's ally. Haha She would love all these pieces.

Volcano Candle

Such a great scent.

Slippers

I have these and they are so fluffy and cozy.

Bath Robe

I keep debating buying this for myself.

PJ Set

These are amazing PJ's at an even better price. They come in a ton of color and prints and different variations. (Pants and short sleeve top, long pants and long top, etc.)

Tea Kettle

I think this is the one I got my mom for Christmas. She loves it.

Coffee & Espresso Maker with Milk Frother

This is a little pricey. Great to go in on with siblings or your dad.

Honey Bear

So cute!

Cafe Coffee Mug

Coffee & Chocolate Pairing Box

I love this idea. I'm not a mom, but does someone want to get this for me? hah

Jade Roller

This is a great thing your mom might not know about. Even if she is a beauty guru.

Gua Sha

I don't fully know what these do, but they are the hottest thing in beauty right now. Help your mom get ahead of the curve with this one.

Glo Pro

This is an at home micro-needling kit. Great way to try this out or keep up if she already goes to the spa for this.

Hydration Trio

This is a good pamper yourself gift. I love this brand.

MAC Cosmetics Lipstick

I always like picking out new colors for my mom. This is Blankety and it's one of her faves.

At Home Gel Kit

(Bonus points if you offer to give her a manicure with her new kit.)

Garden Gloves

Garden Tools

I think these are so fun!

Sun Hat

Always need protection when you are out in the sun. I love the big bow on this.

Sephora Sun Safety Kit

I'm clearly very big on sun protection. This is a great way for your mom to try a bunch of different sunscreens and pick the one she likes best.

Corkcicle Water Bottle

Being outside it's important to stay hydrated. I love this brand and they are currently on MAJOR sale.

Plant Pot

I thought this pot was so cute!

These are random items I thought were great and didn't fit into a category.

Mama Necklace

This is a great piece for a new mom.

Rapid Beverage Chiller

I saw this while browsing today and thought it was amazing. I know my mom and my mother-in-law would both LOVE this!

Recipe Cutting Board

I absolutely LOVE this as a gift. My friend did it a few years ago and I thought it was so cool.

Sunshine Necklace

This brand is so cool. They have a bunch of different necklaces, bracelets, and rings that all come on cards with these AMAZING stories. I actually got this one for my mom on my wedding day. It's two pieces so I have one and she has one!

Floral Arranging Class

I stole this one from my friend. You basically sign up for a floral arranging class (via zoom or whatever) and they will send the flowers to you the day before. This is a fun thing to do with your mom.

I also thought a cooking class, whether virtual or in person (when things are back up and running) would be a great gift. This way you get to spend time with your mom and do something fun!

I hope this helps you with some ideas for Mom.

Like I said above, I think this greatest gift this year will be for things to be somewhat back to normal and for everyone to spend the day together in person.

Fingers crossed!

Mother's Day Gift Guide

Happy Thursday!

Since Mother's Day is just over a week away I thought I would put together a gift guide for y'all. Mother's Day is the time to spoil our moms and let them know how much we appreciate them and all they do for us! No matter your budget or your mom's style I've rounded up a bunch of different options to surprise your mom with next Sunday!

Origins Mask Set

(Origins has the best masks. This is such a nice gift. You could even throw in cooking mom dinner and get a nice bottle of wine and have a girls night while trying out her new masks.)

Mom Wine Glass

(What mom doesn't love wine? This is such a cute little glass! Bonus points if you pair it with a bottle of her favorite wine.)

Volcano Candle

(I feel like this is always a great gift because everyone loves them, but they are a little pricey, so no one wants to spend the money.)

Mama Ring

(I love this ring. It is so cute & trendy. Great piece for anyone you know that might be a new mom.)

Lipstick

(I love buying my mom new lipstick on holidays. I usually get her something she has either tried of mine and liked or just complimented on the shade.)

Fluffy Robe

(I feel like mom's always need a new fluffy robe. This one looks super soft and cozy.)

Fragrance Set

(My mom loves sampling new perfume. If she has a favorite brand you can buy a sample set from them or I believe Sephora makes one with a bunch of different brands.)

Wine Chiller

(This looks so cool and seems really practical for most of the moms I know.)

Mama Necklace

(I love this necklace. I feel like this style is really trendy right now. This again would be great for a new mom.)

Nail Polish

(If your mom still gets regular manicures buying her a favorite shade is always a nice gift. You could also pair it with a gift card to get her nails done.)

Slippers

(I feel like these are usually a winter gift but I feel like this style would be good for the upcoming summer months.)

L'Occitane Hand Cream

(I love this stuff! I feel like everyone can always use a lotion to throw in their bag. This one is my favorite!)

Kate Spade Vase

(Throw in a bouquet of flowers and you have the perfect gift! Don't forget to refill it with a new bouquet from time to time.)

Picture Frame

(If your mom is anything like mine she LOVES pictures. Get a couple cute photo frames and put in photos of you and her, your siblings, you and your significant other, grand kids, whoever and she will cherish it forever!

Pajamas

(This is one of my moms favorite gifts to receive. She is always really happy when I get her new PJs. The new line at Target has lots of options that are really soft!)

Sun Hat

(I feel like all moms could use a good sun hat for the beach, working in the yard, or long walks. This one is really cute and will provide enough coverage without looking over the top.)

Mom Coffee Mug

(All moms need coffee. Why not let them drink it out of a cute mug? Get them a Starbucks gift-card or a nice pack of K-cups to go with it.)

Jade Roller

(My mom has always taught me about skincare growing up. Now I feel like it's my turn to share the latest and greatest with her. A jade roller is definitely a great way to do that.)

What are your plans for Mother's Day? I'm a bad daughter and will be traveling that day. Hoping I can make it back for dinner with my mom. What are some gifts you have gotten your mom in the past that she absolutely adored? I'd love to hear about it in the comments.

I hope y'all have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by to check out today's post. It truly means so much to me!
