I know this is a little out of my realm on this blog here, but in real life, this gift guide fits perfectly into what I search for for my own mom. I’ve been so lucky to grow up with a mom who has always been being extremely loving, an amazing chef, and incredibly selfless. But beyond that, something trivial but that I’ve always admired is that my mom has style.
I’m not even kidding, I think I wear my moms clothes more than I wear my own. And I’m not mad about it.
But this sometimes poses as a problem: what the heck do you get a mom who seems to have everything? It’s so easy to give a gift card, but I find that gift cards lack the thought that I want to put into a Mother’s Day gift. So, when trying to figure out what the hell I’m going to get this woman, I came up with a gift guide for you, too, so you can get your stylin’ momma a cute, useful, thoughtful gift!
The Mother’s Day Gift Guide for Stylish Moms
Get to Shopping
- 3-Wick Candle Sleeve
Bath & Body Works is huge with the ladies in my family. There’s just nothing better than a clean house with a relaxing B&BW candle lit, making the room smell like Summer. This palm candle sleeve is SO cute and perfect to make any candle blend in with your room decor. - Alex & Ani Bumblebee Charm Bangle
I am a huge Alex & Ani fan. Not only are their bracelets cute and affordable, but they have meaning. I love this bumble bee bangle, but there are so many options to choose from. Get your mom a cute bracelet with a sweet meaning behind it! - Fossil Q Activity Tracker
Whether your mom is active or trying to get in shape, this Fossil activity tracker is super sleek and useful. I’m loving this trend for activity trackers that look less like fitness watches and more like wear-everyday watches. This looks more like a bracelet, actually. Rose gold FTW. - Quay Australia Muse Aviators
If you haven’t gotten into Quay sunglasses yet, girl what are you doing? These sunglasses are super cute and affordable for your Mother’s Day gift. Quay offers ridiculously stylish sunnies for a fraction of the cost of your usual designer prices. Who doesn’t love a good pair of aviators? - Kate Spade Cedar Street Hayden Bag
If you can’t tell by the bridal shower we threw for my sister, or the event I hosted at Kate Spade last year, or every purse my mom, sister, and I own … we love Kate Spade. So of course it landed on my list. Get your siblings together to pitch in for the best Mother’s Day gift she’ll get this year – she deserves it! - Bare Minerals Mini Marvels Brush Collection
Have you ever tried to stuff your makeup brushes into an overflowing bag, only to fail at closing the zipper and having makeup spill everywhere in the bag? Sometimes bulky makeup brushes can get in the way. This little brush set is perfect for mom this year. The best part is that they are great for travel! - ‘I Love You Mom and Here’s Why’ Book
It’s time to get sentimental… Guarantee happy tears with this super cute Paper Source book where you can fill out different reasons you love your mom with the various prompts provided in the book. This is a great little gift supplement, or fill out the whole book and really go for the waterworks. - Williams-Sonoma Copper Coffee Mug
What do moms need? Coffee. They need coffee. And how GORGEOUS is this mug from Williams-Sonoma? Your mom deserves to be the fancy queen in the house with a ~*copper*~ mug. She just does.

My Mom is such fashionista and she is wayyyyyyy more stylish than could ever be! It’s awesome that you just put this up because I was wondering what to get her for Mother’s day and I don’t want to get her more clothes haha. That copper mug would be perfect for her, thanks for sharing!
The Blissful Balance says
lol that was exactly my thought!! don’t want to get her more clothes, esp since I got her some clothes for Christmas. and totally – she’s more stylish than me!!
Marina @ A Dancer's Live-It says
I usually get my mom perfume because I know she always needs more. Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue is her favorite! Haha but I absolutely LOVE the “I love you Mom” book. I’m definitely going to get that for her
The Blissful Balance says
Perfume is always a great gift. I love getting perfume because I never buy it for myself haha. My fav is Amarige by Givenchy. Isn’t that book so sweet? <3
Erin @ The Almond Eater says
My mom would die over the “I love you” book–so many happy tears. Also, have your mom guest post and share her beauty secerts!! Seriously–hot mama.
The Blissful Balance says
Haha! I totally should – I hope I look like her when I’m her age!!
Alexa [fooduzzi.com] says
That copper coffee mug!! Totally agreed with Erin about the “I love you” book…so many tears. This was great, Christina. Thanks for the ideas!
The Blissful Balance says
I want that mug for myself LOL I saw it in person and was like GOD I JUST WANT ITTTT
Alyssa @ renaissancerunnergirl says
I generally buy my mom a box of dark chocolates I personally select at our hometown chocolatier/ice cream shop. That or a running top. Her favorites! Neither of us is that into makeup or hair, and I’m not really into bags and shoes, and even though she is I cannot for the life of me pick something for her
The Blissful Balance says
Funny you say that, usually my go-to with my mom is something running related. But she just has so much I’m like ok what else can I get her now!? My mom is a better stylist than me haha I’m not the best at styling myself for that matter
Ellen @ My Uncommon Everyday says
My mom often wants a really expensive camera lens (like mother, like daughter) or something, so a bunch of my family members usually go in to buy her that “big” thing. We’re not great with surprises a lot of the time 😛 I also always write a lengthy, sappy note, and usually spend a day just shopping/hanging out with her. It’s not abnormal for us to do that on *not* Mother’s Day, but it’s still a little treat for us both. This year, I was at Paper Source and saw this little time capsule letters book, so I picked that up, too! It prompts you to write about memories with your mom and then has “Open when…” on the envelopes. I have no idea when I’m going to make the time to write the letters, but I’m really excited about it. The “I Love You” book reminds me of it!
The Blissful Balance says
Papersource has the CUTEST stuff for occasions like this! That sounds so wonderful and meaningful I’m sure she will love it!
Britney says
That Alex and Ani bracelet is SO cute! These are all such great ideas, thanks for making Mother’s Day shopping a little easier for me 😉 Having a stylish mom means I really have to up my shopping game haha!
The Blissful Balance says
lol right?!? It can be so hard!! I want to give her the best gifts! And yeah I’m obsessed with that cute bumblebee!
Beverley @ Born to Sweat says
your mother is a hottie! seriously, she looks like she could be your sister.
buying presents for my mother is so easy haha. she loves EVERYTHING. my father on the other hand…
The Blissful Balance says
hahah yeah I basically hope I look like her when I grow up.
Diana @ Live Lean Eat Green says
I love all these ideas. I’m lucky enough that my mom lives close by so I always get her a bottle of wine and flowers then we go out and do something like a hike or beach day!
The Blissful Balance says
Aw that’s so awesome! We usually take my mom to the beach too, that’s her favorite place.
