Do you know a mom who loves it all? Maybe she enjoys spending some quiet time out in the garden, or tending a few backyard chickens. Perhaps, she revels in a candlelit bathtub full of scented bubbles. Or, just maybe she spends her nights yelling into her headset mic while her guild takes down an especially nasty boss in her favorite game.
Whether she loves gaming, pampering, homemaking, or everything in between — here are some of my top picks, for Mother’s Day gift ideas this year.

Relish Meal Planning //
If mom loves to spend time in the kitchen creating delicious meals for the family, she may enjoy a subscription to a meal planning service such as Relish!. This website simplifies the process of making a weekly menu by offering tried and true recipes for wonderful family meals on the table every night. Relish! utilizes fresh, healthy ingredients to offer different dishes each week. You can use the new drag and drop dashboard to create your menu, then print out a shopping list and the recipes for that week.
You’ll be able to favorite recipes, scale them to servings from 2 – 8 people, search by category or ingredient, look for freezer friendly meals, change the paired sides, edit the shopping list and even add up to 20 of your own recipes with the ‘custom menu’ feature, for easy integration into your meal planning.
Two of my favorite features of Relish! are the monthly and weekly features. The monthly section changes each month to give you tips and tricks on seasonal ingredients and recipes to go along with them. The weekly features instruct on new cooking techniques and general home skills that are very useful and quick to implement. I also love the special downloads, like the printable Mother’s Day menu they have features this week.
Available from www.relishrelish.com as a 3, 6 or 12-month subscription option, each gift purchase comes with a personalized card. You can also choose to send your gift subscription card as a pre-wrapped gift, bundled with a cute spatula. This is a great gift for moms who love to be (or need to be) organized in the kitchen!
Agraria’s Aromatherapy Bath Salts //
For the mom who loves to be pampered, Agraria has some gorgeous Mother’s Day gifts. From luxury bath bars, to woven crustal candles that smell amazing – each item would make a lovely gift on its own, or tucked into a basket created just for your special lady.
Bath Salts were received for review.
For a soothing soak, Agraria’s Aromatherapy Bath Salts will wash away Mom’s worries and stress. The large 32 ounce decorative bath salt box is filled with 2 pounds of Dead Sea bath salts that are fragranced with pure essential oils. Each container also comes with a pretty scallop shell, to use as a scoop. I can personally attest to the amazing and pleasant scent of the Lemon Verbena fragrance — just lovely!
Aromatherapy Bath Salts retail for $45.00 and are available at various boutique stores, such as Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and online at www.AgrariaHome.com.
Gift Cards for the Gamer or Music Lover //
If mom loves gaming, indulge her in a points card to her favorite gaming website or game. Many games have cash shops or perks that mom might love to buy, but feel guilty about spending the family’s cash on. Buy her a points card so she can get that coveted flying mount or awesome cosmetic wardrobe item.
Or, if music is more you Mom’s style, tuck an iTunes gift card into her greeting card or gift basket. These cards can be found in stores like Walmart, GameStop and Amazon.com — to name a few.
Just spend some time with Mom //
What do most moms want more than anything? They want some quality time with their kids — no matter how old they may be. This year, try a gift straight from the heart:
You could try stopping by mom’s on Mother’s Day morning and surprise her by making her homemade pancakes. I did this for my mom almost 12 years ago, and she still talks about it to this day ;-). Take her out to the movies and dinner — it doesn’t have to be ON Mother’s Day, if you want to avoid the holiday crowds. Visit a book or craft store, then stop and have lunch at a favorite coffee shop.
Any one of these little things will definitely make mom’s day and create wonderful memories for both of you. I wish you and your mom a very happy Mother’s Day this year!

wife loves flowers…the Teleflorist ctf would be ideal.
i would really like to take a look at the gardening book. i love gardening, i bet it has some helpful hints and great ideas.
The kitchen garden experts book sounds amazing! We are hoping to get our garden in this year and so this would be a wonderful thing to have to use all our goodies from the garden!
i really need a good set of headphones..how bout you let have a pair?..thANKS
LOL at the image of the gaming mama. :) My mom would probably love the headphones for her portable DVD player. She refuses to get a player that hooks up to the TV, she likes that little one. I just wish it had rechargeable batteries in it. ;)
I love your idea of SOL REPUBLIC Master Tracks as a mothers day gift. I really need a pair, all I use is earbuds and theyre horrible.
Besides the traditional gift of flowers, I like that they include the aromatherapy bath salts. That is something I’d rather get than flowers. Those of us with allergies often have trouble with the aroma of flowers. It reminds us of itching and sneezing.
Such awesome ideas, it’s nearly impossible to pick a favorite. The Meal Planning service seems the most useful and practical, which is what my family and I are all about. With such a variety of health problems in our family, it’s incredibly important to plan our meals carefully and think ahead. That sounds like such an amazing service!
I would like to try the Sol Republic headphones so I can listen to my music without disturbing anyone and for the sound quality. Also, I would like to win so I could send flowers to my mom with the teleflora code and the meal planning service sounds like something I could use for my family.

I would love to win this giveaway because it help make My mom’s Mothers Day extra wonderful! She is a truly amazing mother and deserves the best!
Flowers are a must

The Agraria’s Aromatherapy Bath Salts sound really relaxing. I would love to win because this sounds like a really awesome prize package and I would use everything included.
Those headphones look like they would be very useful to have. Nobody could hear my music and I could not hear my mother’s very loud television. We are planning a quiet Mother’s Day here. I am getting my mom plants for her garden. I celebrated early with my child so its all about Mom on Sunday.
So many awesome things! I think the meal planning would be fun to try. Meal planning gives me a weekly headache!
I am a Mom but I also have a Mom. Me, I would love the headphones but because my Mom loves flowers so much and is out of state, I would love to win the Teleflora Mother’s Day Bouquets so I could surprise her. Terrible of me but I just remembered it was Mother’s day this weekend.
Hmm, I hope my kids remembered better than I did!
I’m homeless living in a 78 sq ft camping trailer. Just recently did I get running water… but it is ice cold. I get to take hot showers once a week at a friends house, and I get to take a 2+ hour HOT bath once a month at another person’s house. You really don’t notice the little things in life until they are taken away from you. I also just lost my job last monday, and thankfully all of my MAY bills were paid before i was laid off, but being a single mom my budget was already tight to begin with now, I’m really scrambling to figure out June bills. Dont eve get my started on my tiny kitchen, my stove/oven doesnt work and no microwave. So i bought a small electric double burner from Wal-mart and it doesnt even get hot enough to boil a small amount of water. and I have 32+ food allergies. So i can’t have any pre-packaged foods. Even if i could but them I couldn’t cook them in the oven or nuke them in the microwave. The fridge in this trailer is broken so i took 2 mini fridges and stacked them on top of each other, and i have a deep freezer in my landlord’s garage – of while he helps himself to it all the time *one of the conditions of putting anything in his garage* so I buy large amounts of meat to basically feed his family. lastly I have cockroaches. I have fog bombed this place 6 times. I have bought lil homes for them, and used borax & sugar to lure them out so they will eat the sugar/borax mixture and then eat themselves. I also put D.E. all around the perimeter of the outside and in the nooks n crannies. Plus bait gel, and also every night I wipe down everything with a 50/50 vinegar water mixture. Making sure to put everything away and cleaned up, so they have no reason to come out and play.
These are my reasons for the giveaway items above.. I saw MNO movie last night, and it helped me feel like i was enough even though my situation wasn’t ideal.
I would love to hear the sounds from the Sol Republics headphones. The prizes look fun, I’d love to try my hand at winning :)
I need a new pair of headphones and I love the sound of Sol Republic. The Aromatherapy Bath Salts sound so relaxing.
Honestly, for myself I’d chose the Sol Repulblic headset. I LOVE to tune things out by the end of the day! LOL
What a great gift guide. Lots of old & new ideas to choose from. I, myself like the garden book, but I can see giving the meal planning service to one DIL, who is finally loving cooking and the stationary to a favorite aunt of mine who still does letters the old fashioned way! thanks for a chance at a thoughtful gift package!
A great gift guide. Lots of ideas old & New! I would like the garden book for myself, the meal planning for my DIL and stationary set for my fav aunt who only uses snail mail! And still lots left to share! thank you
Well, obviously my ma and I would both prefer to Just Spend Time With Mom, but if I had to pick a physical product the Sol Republic headphones are def my pick. I love that they are totally customizable and the interchangeable headbands are pretty cool. I would love to win this prize, it is full of very nice, high-quality items. Thanks for the opportunity!
my mom would love the flowers. and i like to win thanks for the chance.
I would like the Teleflora because I would love to see how a bouquet of flowers would change the enviromentof the house. Thank you
I love flowers , from the garden to the vase.
I would love the flowers the most because I just love fresh flowers on my table. They are so cheery.
My favorite gift on this list is to spend some time with mom. My mother lives several states away, and I hardly ever get to see her. Some time together would be an amazing gift for both of us.
I would love the Kitchen Garden Experts book. I love both cooking and gardening! :)
i sent my mom and my step mother flowers today for Mothers Day! I would be excited for any prize thanks you!
I would love the Sol Republic Master Tracks. I’m a music fan and these would be wonderful. Also, the Relish Meal Planning would be great. One of the things that is always asked is “What’s for Dinner?” This would definitely help. All the items are great though. I would love to win for both myself and my Mom. Thanks.
Nice mix of things- I wish the headphones were in the giveaway, those would be my fave of everything you have listed.
I love the stationary from Oubly! My Mom isn’t really into technology or anything, so that would be a great gift for her!
My passion is flower gardening.i would love to win the teleflora gift to have some flowers on my table before the flowers in my garden come into bloom.
I absolutely love cooking and gardening. I recently grew kohlrabi and tried it for the first time out of my garden. I love that the book Kitchen Garden Experts is filed with celebrated chefs and their head gardeners. The farm to table is definitely intriguing. I’m most excited about the book and would love to get my hands on it as I’m sure it’s a very interesting read.
I would love the headphones. I love to listen to music when I clean.
I would love to try the SOL Mastertracks. I love listening to music while I work.
I’d love to win the Oubly gift card so I could send my momma cute little notes to always let her know Im thinking about her.
I love flowers, so definitely the teleflora. Such an easy way to bring some pretty into the house. :)
These are wonderful gift ideas! I would like the Teleflora bouquet because I would like to surprise someone with flowers!
The Teleflora bouquet would be lovely, but if I got the gardening book, I could eat more healthily.
I would love to have the SOL REPUBLIC Master Tracks! I have never had a good quality pair of headphones before. I listen to a lot of music!
i would enjoy an itunes gift card, i dont often buy apps for myself (mostly for my kids) so it would be nice to feel free to purchase some with a gift card, would love to win a prize to pamper myself!
I would most love the flowers…my bf is a landscaper and works with flowers every day so never thinks to send me any
I would like to try the SOL REPUBLIC Master Tracks because I need a good pair of headphones!
