Unique Mother's Day Gift Ideas

by Kiersten Hickman

When you have the best mom in the entire world, it’s extremely difficult to find something that can perfectly sum out how much she means to you. Picking flowers from her garden outside and placing them in a vase on the kitchen table obviously won’t cut it anymore, so I’m sure you’re on the hunt for a few unique Mother’s Day gift ideas this year.

If you don’t mind, I would like to dub the theme of this Mother’s Day the unofficial “treat yo' self” day 2.0. Instead of just wishing mom a happy birthday, sending an iconic Parks & Recreation “treat yo-self” GIF to follow — actually give her the chance to treat herself. Buy her some wine. Get her some jewelry. Treat her to a large bubble bath and spa day. Maybe even splurge on some new home decor and an individual tea set. After all she’s been through, she probably deserves it, right?

I will be one of the many who won’t be able to see my mom during Mother’s Day this year, but that doesn’t give me the right to slack off! It is still possible to order something for her, mail her a card, and express how much she means to you. I mean, Etsy was basically made for moments like this. Use it.

Here are a few unique Mother’s Day gift ideas if you’re looking for something a bit different for her this year:
