5 Best Generic Mother’s Day Gifts

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Oregon chapter.

With Mother’s Day coming up, many of us are struggling to find that perfect gift that our moms will actually like. Well it turns out there are several different options that we overlook after declaring them “too generic.” However, these gift ideas are so common for good reason! Mother’s Day is about the thought of treating your mom like a queen. It’s about showing our appreciation in any way we know how. Here are the best basic gift ideas your mom is sure to love.

1. A Card from cardstore.com

I swear this will always be my go to site for all holiday cards. It allows you to customize a Mother’s Day card with your own photos and text to ensure you mom gets the best possible treatment! Best of all, you can get a customized card for under $5.00!

2. A Bottle of Wine

Moms forget to relax every once in a while. A bottle of wine is the perfect reminder to take a step outside of the hectic mom world and breathe.

3. A Monthly Box Subscription

Monthly boxes are the newest and most personalized gifts. Whether is BirchBox, Blush Mystery Beauty Box, or Wittlebee, you’ll be able to show your mom appreciation every month! Check out subscriptionboxes.com for more options!

4. A Gift Card to her Favorite Store

It’s no secret that moms can often be hard to shop for. A gift card to her favorite store indicated that you took some effort in deciding where she likes to shop while still allowing her to buy what she wants.

5. A Day Together

All moms love spending time with their daughters. Designate Mother’s Day to a day full of mother-daughter treatments. Cook her breakfast in bed, get matching mani-pedis, and treat her to a nice dinner. It’s a win/win for both of you!

Whatever you decided to gift you mother this Sunday, just remember that Mother’s Day is about showing her how much you love and appreciate her.

Happy Mother’s Day!
