Mother’s Day Gift Guide for Our Moms

Mother’s Day is right around the corner! Growing up, my mom didn’t make too much of a big deal about this annual day for moms. She always told us, “Every day is Mother’s Day.” With eight kids in the house (yes, eight!) I can only imagine the stress my mom felt every day with all of us running around.

Now that I’m older, I see what a fantastic job she did with the eight of us and appreciate the things I saw her do for us and wonder about the things we didn’t see her doing for us kids. While Mother’s Day should be every day, this Mother’s Day give your mom all the love she deserves.

Lilies and Loafers has affiliate relationships, so we may get a small share of revenue from your purchases. Items are sold by the retailer, not by Lilies and Loafers.

We love gift baskets because rather than one big or expensive gift, you can put together a bunch of things you know your mom wants. Gift baskets are part DIY and they look like you put more effort into putting them together. Brian and I put together a Mother’s Day gift guide below based on what we know our moms love.
