Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for 2023!

Mother’s Day is fast approaching, my friends! If you’re also a talented procrastinator, then I’m guessing you need some ideas for gifts that you can get on the way, like TODAY. So I put together this list of Mother’s Day gift ideas for 2023 for all kinds of mamas: active mamas, gardener mamas, new mamas, goal-oriented mamas, mamas who love to be cozy, etc…it’s all here. And be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom for experience-based gifts…because sometimes the best gifts aren’t necessarily tangible! Plus, those won’t even require a trip to the store! 🙌

Black sweatshirt that reads "Mother" for a Mother's Day gift idea for 2023 from Ford + Wyatt.

ford + wyatt, “Mother” Everyday sweatshirt

Not going to lie – I just purchased one of these for myself as I was making this list! (Happy Mother’s Day to me!) I have LOVED Ford + Wyatt’s designs and quality for years now. They also have options that say “Boy Mom” and “Girl Mom” for those that applies to! You can’t go wrong. And they’re having a Mother’s Day sale right now…run, don’t walk.

A cozy, gray chenille robe for Mother's Day gift ideas for 2023!

Women’s Cozy Chenille Robe – Stars Above™

My absolute favorite pajamas are from Stars Above at Target, and this chenille robe looks to be the next perfect addition to my collection! Would be an excellent choice for a nursing mom, too!

A Made by Mary bar necklace that reads "mama" and would make an excellent Mother's Day gift

Made By Mary Mama Bar Necklace—1.25″

My favorite jewelry has been from Made by Mary over the last few years. And this “mama” bar necklace is beautiful and simple, the perfect choice. (Chose expedited shipping though if you want it to arrive on time!) And by the way, the boxes they come in are so dang cute and will be a cherry on top for that mama you love. (PS – if you need quicker delivery, you can also try THIS necklace from Amazon – it’s my second favorite “mama” design!)

A Stanley tumbler that every mother will love!

THE QUENCHER H2.0 FLOWSTATE™ TUMBLER (SOFT MATTE) | 40 OZ

I have to be honest: I was not planning on having one of these beautiful tumblers because I thought the price point was a bit high, and I was fine with my Simple Modern options. But, my friends, I was gifted one of these, and LET. ME. TELL. YOU, it is made of magic. I kid, but it’s love, not like, on these. The straw is the perfect size for a quick guzzle, it fits in my cupholders, keeps my beverages cold for a full day, and is so sturdy that even my kids can’t break it. Get this for her if she doesn’t have one already.

A black and wood watering can for watering indoor plants for Mother's Day gift ideas for 2023!

Indoor Watering Can with Long Spout – 35oz

As a new-ish indoor plant mama, I quickly learned that it can be tricky to get that water exactly where you want it to go (you know, IN the plant pot and not on my window sill or floor)! It is so helpful to have the extended spout, and I even use my watering can as a decoration on my shelf! It’s a win-win! Highly recommend a design like this one that is both functional and stylish!

A Cultivate What Matters Powersheets Goal Planner for a Mother's Day gift in 2023

2023 One-Year PowerSheets® Goal Planner

Cultivate What Matters powersheets have transformed my life in the past two years, I kid you not. I would expect that to be the case for any other goal-planning mama. Right now the 2023 versions are on mega-sale because of the time of year. I think this would be the perfect time to try the beautiful gift of this planner which will help her to cultivate what matters in her own life! Use code HONESTLYANNMARIE to get 10% off! (This one would not make it on time but definitely still one to put on your list for the next holiday!)

A red, Fitt garden hose for a mom who loves to garden as a Mother's Day gift that comes with a bag that holds the hose

FITT FLOW Expandable Patio Garden Hose

The crew who helped build our dream garden recommended this hose, and I have not only had no regrets, but went on to buy two MORE of these hoses. The nozzle is so nice because you can chose the pressure. Any garden mama who is having issues with her current hose will love this upgrade! Just don’t leave the nozzle out in freezing temps and you’ll be good. 😅

A small pouch that reads "He finds no flaw in you" in block letters for a Mother's Day gift idea

No Flaw – Zipper Pouch

Cleerely Stated makes some of my FAVORITE faith-based products. I thought this pouch was a sweet, affirming reminder and could be useful in a variety of ways. I wanted to include it as a less-expensive option that still makes an impact and shows your love.

A tea set gift idea for Mother's Day 2023 with infuser and cup

Mora Ceramics Tea Cup with Loose Leaf Infuser, Spoon and Lid

Is she in to delicious tea?! This beautiful, neutral mug also comes with a loose-leaf infuser and is dishwasher and microwave safe! I love the idea of using this style of an infuser, and I bet she will, too!

A ZZ plant in medium size from Bloomscape, sitting on a cute wooden stool

ZZ Plant – medium

This company, Bloomscape, and their plants were recommended to me by a family member. I bought my first ZZ plant right here at this link and have been stunned by the beauty of the plant (and its pot) ever since. I’ve purchased quite a few plants on Amazon, and the quality just doesn’t compare to what you receive from Bloomscape. Not sponsored. Not an affiliate. Just highly recommend.

A Bogg Bag for a Mother's Day gift idea for 2023

BOGG BAG Original

I have heard incredible things about the durability and functionality of this bag, which is perfect for mamas hauling all the mama things around, especially to places that might be wet or dirty, like the beach, pool, boats, camping, etc. Such a fun idea!

Mama tee shirt from Ford + Wyatt in light brown and block letters, a Mother's Day gift idea for 2023

“Experience” GIFT Ideas

  • the gift of free time: Every mama is different! If she is in the phase of wrangling young kids most of the time, then she could probably (almost CERTAINLY) use a break and some time to herself! So do some diligent research to figure out what recharges her and give her time to do that! Offer to entertain the kids while she does her thing: a long hike with friends, a massage, a solo meal, visit a friend, a weekend away…the sky’s the limit. Be creative.
  • SOLO NIGHT TO A HOTel: This is a recent favorite choice of mine, but I imagine other mamas would love it, too. Sleep in (uninterrupted), eat when and what you want, journal, pray, take baths, run, read, puzzle…there are so many incredible possibilities for a mama given this time alone.
  • tickets to an event she will love: Is there an event coming to town that she would enjoy tickets to? Tickets make a lovely gift and – bonus points – it’s also often a kid-free break! So check out what’s happening in your area. Is there a concert, a comedy show, a musical theater performance, etc that she would love?! In our area, we also have some railroad that do Mother’s Day train rides with yummy food and drinks which might be a great choice, as well!
  • offer to wake up with the kids on Saturdays for a few weeks. A mama friend of mine made this suggestion and I think it’s genius and definitely something I would love myself. Let mama sleep in as long as she wants while everyone else gets moving for the day. In my personal experience, with Tim gone almost every morning, it is so nice on the days when I’m not responsible for all the hair and teeth brushing and dressing of the littles! What a gift!
  • Make her a “coupon book” and let her cash in anytime she wants! Here are some ideas for the coupon book: mom’s night off, help in the garden, bubble bath, 1 hour of cleaning, family game night, help with grocery shopping, clean out the car, get my hair done, movie night, breakfast in bed, spa afternoon, etc. She will feel pampered and will be able to use the coupons when she feels like she needs them which is an added bonus.
  • encourage her to SIGN HER UP FOR THAT CLASS SHE’S BEEN WANTING TO TAKE.Is there something she’s been wanting to learn but hasn’t been able to find the time or is worried about it being too inconvenient for the family? Maybe it’s photography, cooking, martial arts, writing, piano, gardening, yoga, or poetry that she’s into. I’m sure she’d love dedicated time to hone her craft! If she’s been clear about what’s she’s been wanting to do, you could even sign up for her as a surprise. Then she’ll get the message about just how supportive you truly are of her endeavor.
Does she enjoy running?

This isn’t for everyone, but if she enjoys running, maybe there’s a race the whole family might enjoy being a part of! That’s actually what my Mother’s Day plans are this year: to run a Mother’s Day half marathon and then do the kids race afterwards with my gals. Just putting it out there as an idea the whole fam may enjoy together. And then catch a meal or a late church service afterwards! 🖤

And there you have it for my best Mother’s Day gift ideas for 2023!

Hopefully this gives you a place to start as you look to shower a mama in your life with love and kindness this Mother’s Day. She sure deserves it.

Celebrating all you mamas out there, this week + always. You’re crushing it.

bigGEST hugs + Greatest blessings,

ann marie 🖤
