A cute cutting board that doubles as decor…
While there are tons of durable, aesthetically pleasing cutting boards out there, we guarantee you haven’t seen one with your family’s favorite recipe engraved into it. This one’s made with premium olive wood and cleans like a dream. PS: If you’re looking for something on the cheaper side, we found a great $20 alternative on Amazon.
A planner that promotes daily focus…
The retro-inspired floral cover already makes this planner look more like decor, but personalizing it with the recipient’s name at the top makes it that much more gift-worthy. Inside, there are structured pages designed to help track habits, plan meetings and appointments, set goals, and practice mindfulness.
A phone case that’s more “her”...
This MagSafe phone case works for most devices. It’s built to last; it has a raised bezel that helps protect your screen and camera from scratches. Add your giftee’s name or initials for a personal touch.
A super soft sherpa bathrobe she’ll keep forever…
This cozy robe from Mark and Graham will become her new uniform. She can snuggle up in it during a well-deserved lazy morning or a couch-rotting session with her favorite book. It’s machine-washable and you can get it embroidered for under $20.
An(other) iconic mug from Anthropologie…
Whether she’s a coffee or a tea lover, she’ll obsess over this insanely cute hand-painted letter mug by The Mud Fairy (aka artist Deba Khan). It showcases her signature vibrant colors and floral patterns with 24-karat gold detailing that makes every sip a statement. Just make sure to hand-wash it.
A gold letter necklace she can make her own…
We’d be remiss not to mention BaubleBar’s custom nameplate necklace. This one lets you choose between nine different typefaces and four types of metal (including a few gemstone options) to create the perfect name chain à la Carrie Bradshaw.
A unique accessory for book lovers…
For the moms and maternal figures in your life who give the best book recommendations, say thank you with this personalized embosser stamp. You’ll be able to add their initial, as well as a longer family name (or a cheeky message) at the bottom. The stamp comes in pink and black, square or round shapes, and has the option to include a desk mount for easier storage.
A canvas makeup bag that’s great for travel…
We love Tuckernuck for their high-quality pieces, and this makeup bag is no different. It’s made with a cotton material that’s designed to be splashed on, thrown around, and packed tight. We love that the bottom is flat and secure (which means it’ll prevent the entire bag from spilling)). Plus, when you’re customizing, you’ll be able to see a preview of the final product before completing your order.
A floral spoon rest that will zhuzh up any kitchen…
If the kitchen is her happy place, this spoon rest might just become her new hyperfixation. It comes in 12 different floral designs, each one representing a month of the year. The handcrafted rest includes a detailed illustration of a birth month flower and its symbolic meaning. It’s a unique alternative to traditional zodiac or birthstone gifts.
A set of personalized stationery…
Analog hobbies are back, which means we’re well into our letter-writing era (thanks, in no small part, to the wonderful Rachel Syme). The first step in kicking off the writing process? A set of really, really good stationery. We love this style from Minted for its simple, elevated design.
A customizable candle from one of our favorite brands…
Flamingo Estate’s Tomato Candle has had us in a chokehold for months, so naturally, we’re planning to gift it. Their team of calligraphers will print your personalized message directly onto the candle’s label before it's shipped in a gift-ready box. The scent is reminiscent of balmy summer nights in a garden. You’ll be gifting a sense of calm, alongside a unique, custom decor item.
A leather notebook she’ll always want to have on hand…
There’s just something about monogrammed leather. This notebook from Papier comes in both a standard and pocket size depending on your giftee’s preference. There’s over 180 lined pages that are smooth to write on. This is a good option if you’re looking for a personalized gift that ships on the faster side.
Personalized coasters for the aspiring Martha Stewart…
These coasters are half wood, half marble, and 100% a must for any hostess on your Mother’s Day gift list. The customized name or message sits on the wooden half for better visibility, while the marble gives the coasters a nice weight.
A clipboard frame that lets you add more than just a name…
While some gifts only allow you to add initials or a single name, the sky really is the limit with this custom wooden frame. You can add up to 500 characters, upload a photo, or include note to be laser-cut directly onto the frame in your handwriting. Consider your Mother’s Day shopping complete.
A square catchall tray that screams luxury…
This square valet tray from Leatherology will give her a simple, yet elegant way to store her keys, glasses, jewelry, or anything else she may have living at the bottom of her bag. She’ll reach for it for years to come.
The tote she’ll use all summer long (and beyond)...
Upload a handwritten note and The Printed Gift’s team will take care of the rest. The totes are hemmed by hand and made with a machine-washable cotton material (that also happens to be iron-friendly). Plus, if you purchase over 10 products, you can get 25% off your entire order.
A mug that takes personalization to the next level…
Artist Shelly Klein is known for her charming yet sophisticated line drawings and this gorgeous ceramic mug will show you why. She has dozens of pre-drawn illustrations of family members to choose from and multiple color options for the character’s hair, skin tone, and clothing. You’ll also be able to add her name and a year. Pro tip: grab a few for the whole family and watch as the award for “Best Gifter” falls to you.
An easy-to-care-for plant for astrology fans…
For any moms obsessing over their horoscopes, may we present the zodiac plant from Lula’s Garden? Each sign is thoughtfully paired with a corresponding succulent that won’t require much upkeep. Our advice? Save money on flowers with minimal life span and pick up one of these instead.
