I know my mom loves having time to herself so I’m definitely going to try and replicate this gift basket idea.

6. BURT’S BEES AND FLOWERS

This is an incredibly cheap and easy Mother’s Day gift basket you can recreate. If your mom has a favorite brand where she buys day-to-day essentials such as lip balm or lotion, then include these items in the gift basket with a bouquet of flowers and a few other things from the same brand.

She will greatly appreciate this and she’ll have a few backups of her favorite products.

Who doesn’t love snacks? Include all of her favorites from gum, candies, and chips, to her favorite coffee, and place everything inside a wicker basket.

She can keep this in her bedroom and when she gets those late-night cravings, she’ll have this basket filled with her favorites already there.

Moms need to let their hair down once in a while too. Which is why a self-care gift basket is the perfect way to show you care.

You can include hair products, skincare, body scrubs, makeup pouches, coffee cups, and hair clips. These items are really cheap and you can get them all on Amazon.

If you really want to treat your mom and have the budget for it, you can opt to buy some more luxurious alternatives to these products.

Buy wooden letters to create the word “mom” on Amazon and glue them on the front of the basket. Include goodies like candles, towels, snacks, chocolates, and flowers that you know she’ll love.

10. LUXURY GIFT BASKET

Looking for luxury Mother’s Day gift basket ideas, this one’s perfect. The number one thing you should always include in a gift basket is cards. You can write a couple of heartfelt sentences or buy one that already has the writing.

Then you’ll want to include a few luxury goods. I highly recommend buying a bottle of long-lasting perfume. The one I love and is my signature scent is Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming. It’s sweet, florally, and lasts all day long.

You can also include a bottle of champagne or her favorite bottle of wine she can sip on while watching Netflix or reading a book.

11. MAKEUP BASKET

I know most moms including mine, still use makeup they bought years ago. I mean you should see the condition of my mom’s makeup brushes.

Fill up a wicker basket with the everyday makeup essentials she actually uses. Include foundation, concealer, blush, makeup brushes, lippies, and other products. I promise she’ll be super thankful and happy.

12. COZY GIFT BASKET

Let your mom unwind and include a few wine/alcohol-related items in there. Buy a wine purifier (helps make the wine more “clean”), a whiskey kit, and a bottle of her favorite alcoholic beverage.

You can also include a wine glass and a few other simple items like hand lotion and candles.

13. MOM-OSA

Since it is Mother’s Day, give your mom the day off and do all of her chores for her. Make her breakfast in bed and a glass of mimosa to go along with it cause why not?!

You can also hire cleaning professionals while you and Mom spend the day together.

By the way, you can also gift these baskets to someone other than your Mom. Maybe your mother-in-law or someone who you look up to.

15. ONE BRAND

Does your Mom have a favorite brand? If so, buy some items from that brand she likes to create a stunning gift basket. You can also include some scrunchies and a facial roller.
