It's hard to believe, but Mother's Day is just around the corner! If you're like most people, you still haven't decided on a gift. Don't worry; we've got you covered. This blog post will discuss the top 5 best Mother's Day gifts that will melt her heart in 2022! These gifts are sure to show your mom how much you appreciate her!

When Is Mother's Day In 2022?

Mother's Day is always celebrated on the second Sunday of May. This year, it will be celebrated on May 14th, 2022.

How To Give A Unique Mother's Day Gift

When gifting, always be unique. Nothing is more boring than buying or receiving a gift card or some cookie-cutter gift like a random candle from Target. Gifting is about finding the main centerpiece and pairing that focal point with complementary accessories.

Don't worry; once I explain our focus for mom, the accessories will be easy. In the end, I'll show you how to apply this gifting formula to any gifting need.

What Is The Best Gift On Mother's Day?

It's time. This is our centerpiece and the best gift you can give your mom on mother's day is time. And if you struggle to see that, continue reading, and I'll explain the lifecycle from a mother's point of view.

The moment we give birth to you, we begin to share you with the world. First, it seems harmless that other family members want to hold our new baby, but before we know it, we blink, and you're off for long periods at school. Then sports. And if we are lucky, you fly the nest successfully and launch into the world.

But all the years watching you burst in and out of the house with the neighborhood crew, kissing your booboos, watching you sleep, we always wanted to slow down time so that we could capture more moments.

And in true mom fashion, we silently yearned for more time while we cheered you on from the sidelines as you continued to grow and blossom. But deep down, all we want to do is have our children stop and give us time.

Want to test this theory? Pause this read and call your mom. You can contact your mom anytime, day or night, and she will answer the phone like you are a celebrity. Because to her, you are.

Now that we know the centerpiece of our gift let's accessorize!

What Are Mom's Interests?

Here's where the fun begins because we start to personalize our gifts based on how your mom spends her time.

Here are some ideas to get your wheels spinning:

• Does she have a green thumb and love to garden?
• Is your mom really into her self-care routine?
• What about outdoor adventures?
• Is this for a first-time mom?
• Does she love fresh flowers?
• Is she obsessed with health, maybe green tea?
• Does she love candles? A hand-poured candle with her signature scent?
• Does she enjoy her morning coffee? Perhaps a specialized coffee mug?
• Does she need more self-care? Maybe a spa day?
• Is she always cold? A cozy blanket would be lovely?
• Is your mom a movie buff? How about a movie night?
• Does your mom bake? New bakeware or accessories, or try a new recipe?
• If she is a lover of the kitchen, a special pan?
• Is she super sentimental and constantly taking photos?

Now that we have the centerpiece time and have an idea of what the accessories will be, I will take five suggestions from above and break them down below so you can see how to give your mom the best mother's day gift ever!

Best Mother's Day Gift Idea #1: For Moms That Love To Garden

Right off the bat, my eyes are drawn to gardening. It's our family tradition that on Mother's day, we go to the greenhouse, and I pick out my Spring flowers. So let's start there.

If You Live Near Your Mom On Mother's Day

If you are lucky enough to physically spend the day with your mom on mother's day, here's what you'll do:

• Go out and grab a garden-related greeting card
• A little flower pot that you know she will love
• A new pair of gardening gloves
• A set of hand tools
• And a couple of seed packets to round out the look in the pot
• I would add some crinkle paper to make it pretty

Next, in her greeting card, you will write your appreciation for everything she has done for you, how much she means to you, and surprise what she is holding is not the gift, but the gift is time. You two will go either that day or within the next two weeks; you need to schedule the time before you leave her house to go to the garden shop and spend the afternoon together.

And then get ready to see your mom melt. She is going to feel seen, appreciated, and all those times of you growing up and her watching you from the sidelines, it's like you just stopped in the middle of your soccer game and said, mom, let's get out of here. You nailed it!

If You Don't Live Near Your Mom On Mom's Day

Let's say you don't live near your mom; you have three options:

• Get her the gift stated above.
• Write in the card three times that work to video call while you both go to your local garden shop and share the experience.
• Gift her a gift certificate to her local garden shop and do a video call.

Here's the deal: you have to get creative and create a shared experience no matter if you live near or far. You can do that so quickly now with technology. Yes, it's awkward sometimes doing this with my mom, but I tell myself I won't have her forever, and she loves it, so who cares! If your mom is more private, go to the garden center and then set up the video call when you are planting privately at your back patio together. Don't forget the centerpiece of this gift is time, not money, not the cheesy garden gift set.

Best Mother's Day Gift Idea #2: For Moms That Love Candles

This right here is my mom. Growing up, I would wake up every morning to see soft flickering flames dancing on the ceiling. That's how I knew it was morning, and my mom was up enjoying her coffee and candles.

If You Live Near Your Mom On Mother's Day

If you are lucky enough to physically spend the day with your mom on mother's day, here's what you'll do:

• Go out and buy your mom a greeting card; try to make it a candle or light-inspired.
• Find a small soy candle company like ours and pick out a few hand-poured soy candles for her to enjoy.

Next, write on the card how much you appreciate her and everything she has done for you. Tell her how much you know she enjoys her candles and that you found this fun-loving candle company that hand-poured soy candles and gives back to those in need.

In the card, share with her three times that you can hang out with her one on one. She will think the give is the scented candles, but when she reads the card, she realizes it's what she truly wants, which is time with her child.

If You Don't Live Near Your Mom On Mom's Day

Let's say you don't live near your mom, here's what you do:

• Find a small soy candle company like ours and pick out two of the same scented candles.
• Have one candle shipped directly to your mom with a note that says: I know when can't be together on your special day, but we can still enjoy a shared experience. Light this candle at such and such time, pour yourself a glass of wine, and meet me for a video call.
• The other candle (the same scent) shipped to you.

Again, the point of the gift is time and creating a shared experience the best way you can. By both lighting the same scented soy candle, pouring a glass of wine, and enjoying a chat, you are changing your atmosphere to mirror each others. It's very special and it takes a tiny bit more effort than a simple video call.

Best Mother's Day Gift Idea #3: For Moms That Love To Bake

Did you grow up with a mom that always had cookies in the cookie jar? Or can you typically find your mom testing a new recipe in the kitchen? Let's treat her to some new bakeware and quality time with her kiddo.

If You Live Near Your Mom On Mother's Day

If you are lucky enough to physically spend the day with your mom on mother's day, here's what you'll do:

• Go out and buy your mom a greeting card, try and make it baking inspired
• Buy the best baking pan
• Pick up some new heat resistant gloves
• Find a pretty set of measuring spoons

Next, write how you appreciate her and her sweet treats in the greeting card. Then give her three-time options to choose from to have a baking date with you.

If You Don't Live Near Your Mom On Mom's Day

Let's say you don't live near your mom, you will do the same thing, only ship her the gift set, and you will do a video date with her while you both bake.

Best Mother's Day Gift Idea #4: For The Movie Buff Mom

Does your mom love to watch movies? If so, I have the perfect gift idea for you.

If You Live Near Your Mom On Mother's Day

If you are lucky enough to physically spend the day with your mom on mother's day, here's what you'll do:

• Go out and buy a greeting card; try making it movie theme-related.
• Pick up one of those particular movie popcorn buckets
• Grab a couple of popcorn seasonings
• Her favorite soda
• Maybe a few candies to fill the bucket

In the greeting card, write how much you appreciate your mom, how special she is, and then give her three date options where you want to watch a movie with her. Once she realizes that the gift is not the bucket of corn, watch how big her smile gets on that beautiful face!

If You Don't Live Near Your Mom On Mom's Day

Let's say you don't live near your mom, go out and purchase the same thing and write in the card that you want to create a shared experience with her even though you are miles apart. Have her pick a time and do a video call while watching the movie together. It's not as good as the real thing, but it's the next best thing, and she will appreciate the gesture so much. Trust me.

Best Mother's Day Gift Idea #5: For The Sentimental Mom

Is your mom always behind the camera snapping photos? Or does she send you photos now of your kids when memories pop up on her phone? I know mine does; keep reading if this sounds like your mom.

If You Live Near Your Mom On Mother's Day

If you are lucky enough to physically spend the day with your mom on mother's day, here's what you'll do:

• Make a greeting card with family photos. You can do this at Shutterfly.com
• Go through a bunch of old family photos and make a photo book

In the greeting card, write how much you appreciate your mom and how she captured so many moments for the family. Tell her that you want to sit and enjoy the story behind the pictures with her.

If You Don't Live Near Your Mom On Mom's Day

Let's say you don't live near your mom, do the same thing, only you will ship the photobook and card. Then you will sit with her on a video call and listen to her share story after story and soak up that quality time.

Always Give The Most Thoughtful Gifts

Let's go over the gifting formula one more time so you can always give the best gifts, whether it's for mother's day or any occasion.

First, the centerpiece gift will always be your time, and that is the greatest gift you can give someone.

Second, you accessorize the core gift based on the recipient's interests. All you have to do is think about what they love to do, or if they tend to put everyone else ahead of themselves, think of what they need in terms of self-care ideas.

You will be the ultimate gifter every time. And when a holiday comes up, you don't have to worry; simply apply this formula.

Remember What Mom Loves The Most

It's time with her child. That is all we ever want is to have uninterrupted time. I could sit and get lost in my son's eyes as he shares a story. It doesn't matter what he says; I am mesmerized by him as a mother.

That's how your mom feels about you. Enjoy your mom and be grateful you have her to celebrate on Mother's Day 2022!
