Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to show your appreciation for the women who raise us, support us, and make life a little sweeter. Whether you're celebrating your mom, a new mom, a grandmother, or a mother figure, we've curated a gift guide with ideas that go beyond the ordinary.
1. For the Mom Who Loves Local
Support small businesses and treat her to something made close to home! Handmade candles, local honey, artisanal chocolates, or a curated gift box from a local shop are great gifts that support small business. If you’re in the Burlington area this week and need something last minute, grab some items from the Burlington Farmers Market or explore local boutiques in Stowe or Shelburne.
2. For the Homebody Mom
Create her perfect cozy day in. A plush robe, luxurious slippers, and her favorite book or magazine make a thoughtful set. Bonus points if you add a high-quality tea or coffee blend and a breakfast-in-bed coupon from the family.
3. For the Green Thumb
If she loves her garden, gift her a beautiful new planter, a set of heirloom seeds, or a gardening journal. A visit to a local greenhouse or nursery, like Red Wagon Plants or Claussen’s, can double as both gift and quality time.
4. For the Sentimental Mom
Personalized gifts like custom family portraits, monogrammed keepsakes, or a heartfelt letter never go out of style. Even a simple framed photo of you and her can go a long way.
5. For the Adventure-Lover
Whether she loves hikes, road trips, or trying new things, an experience might be the best gift. A weekend getaway, cooking class, or spa day might be just what she needs. You can also keep it simple with a state park pass or a new water bottle for her walks!
6. For the Always-On-the-Go Mom
Help her slow down with a self-care bundle: a journal, essential oils, and maybe a massage gift certificate. Sometimes practical luxury can be the best gift. Something thoughtful that she wouldn't buy herself.
No matter what you choose, the best gift is one that shows you know her and appreciate all she does. Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms and mother figures out there!
