Mother's Day Gift Guide
A curated roundup of gifts for the mom who loves to host, celebrate, and always has something worth toasting.
Moms do it all, and that’s not an exaggeration. Mother’s Day is one of the best holidays of the year, because it’s our chance to celebrate the women in our lives who make doing it all look easy. She’s hosting on a whim, mixing the perfect martini, setting a table that looks straight out of Good Housekeeping… whatever it is, we’re eternally grateful. This is my curated gift guide for the moms who love to entertain and who take pride in every detail.
Inside, you’ll find chic barware, glassware, hosting essentials, and thoughtful gift sets. I did my best to choose picks that feel special, giftable, and just the right amount indulgent so you can give her something she’ll reach for long after Mother’s Day has passed.
And of course, a special thank you to my mom… the woman responsible for my love of entertaining, good glassware, and believing every gathering deserves a proper drink.
Now, let’s spoil these lovely ladies!!
The Martini Mom
For the mom who has a signature drink and a signature glass to match. She’s chic, a little extra, and always ready to say “cheers.”
Build Your Own Martini Set - If she doesn’t already have a good setup for making a martini at home, start here!
CARAWAY Bar Tools Set - Includes everything she could need (shaker, muddler, wine key, strainer, spoon, jigger, and a cute storage caddy). This, plus a bottle of her favorite gin or vodka, vermouth, and olives wrapped aesthetically in a gift basket - a major Mother’s Day win.
Cocktail Shaker
Boule Stainless Steel Cocktail Shaker - Personally, I’m not allowed to buy more cocktail shakers. But if I could? I’d buy this immediately.
Crafthouse by Fortessa Shaker Set - Tried and true!
Mackenzie-Childs Cocktail Shaker - Mom’s love Mackenzie-Childs. A no-brainer.
Fun Glasses
Piano Cocktail Glass Set - Obsessed with the colored stems.
Garnish Ice Bucket - With the olive on the top?! Adorable.
“Extra Olives” Earrings - Picture her drinking a martini with olives hanging from her ears. These are fit for an icon!
Italicus - A new necessity to my bar setup! Think citrus with hints of herbs like lavender. Plus, it looks so cute on a bar cart next to a Mackenzie-Childs cocktail shaker!
Mirabeau Rose Gin - Endless martini options with this one.
Four Pillars Olive Leaf Gin - Delicious and a forever favorite.
The Champagne and Wine Mom
She is effortlessly elegant and believes every moment is worth celebrating (especially if there’s something chilled and sparkling involved).
Wine Chiller
Blue Pheasant Voru Wine Bottle Holder - So cute for taking wine on the go!
Champagne Bucket + Stand - I would go as far as to bet that she probably doesn’t have one of these, but she definitely needs one.
Stella White Wine Glass - The thinner the stem, the better the wine tastes.
Billecart Salmon Champagne - She’s the perfect excuse to pop bottles!
The Hostess with the Mostess Mom
Her table is always set, her fridge is always full, and somehow she makes it all look effortless!! Behind the scenes, though, she’s always finding ways to elevate and make hosting feel just a little more special. These pieces will make her entertaining easier, more beautiful, and a lot more fun.
3-Tier Party Drink Dispenser - If your family likes to do large gatherings for Mother’s Day, you will absolutely win the day if you show up with this dispenser. It’s Instagrammable, functional, and soooo cool.
Heritage Silver Party Bucket - A must for any hostess.
Serving Plates & Utensils
Stoneware Serving Plate - I actually just got this one for myself, and I will be buying one for every mom I know, because it’s that good.
Sardine Salt Pinches - Who wouldn’t love these?!
Screened Food Dome - A necessity for any outdoor hosting.
Self-Watering Rolling Citrus Tree Planter - Anyone who loves hosting outdoors knows the struggle of redecorating the patio to fit more people. Save her from heavy lifting with some rolling planters! Even better if you gift a citrus tree, as well. Watch it grow year over year! $10 off code: JOINJULES10OFF
The Morning-After Savior Mom
Maybe she hosted the party, or maybe she’s just the one responsible for bringing everyone back to life the next day. She always has hot coffee on deck, a magical hangover fix, and just the right cure for whatever the night before brought.
Pigeon Pitcher - I mean… you might as well buy two. One for you and one for her.
Czacanes Tequila - For hangover Bloody Marys, obviously.
Ready to Go Gift Sets
Sometimes we need thoughtful gifting without the wrapping. These ready-made gift sets make it easy.
Flamingo Estate Heirloom Tomato Classic Set - The best scent.
Bonus: Last-Minute Heroes
Even the best planners need a backup plan. If time has gotten away from you this year, don’t worry! Here are a few thoughtful gifts you can pull together without it feeling rushed.
Pretty Simple Cocktails Book - Available on Amazon Prime! 😉 65 delicious recipes included.
Viral Drink Fountain, because mom deserves a Lemon Drop Martini fountain too!
Flowers! An obvious choice, but what woman do you know who doesn’t love receiving flowers? If you’re in a pinch, I always recommend Trader Joe’s as their selection is beautiful and affordable. My recommendation: go to a local nursery and pick mom out flowers she can PLANT herself, so it’s the gift that keeps on giving.
An “Experience” Gift - Create memories instead! Hop online and grab some concert tickets, a gift card to her favorite spa, a cooking class, a wine tasting, or maybe even an evening at the local comedy club. Even better? Pair it with a bouquet or their favorite bottle of wine, or tequila!
Digital Photo Frame - Download a few of your favorite family photos to a digital photo frame. Also available on Amazon Prime!
Tea Kettle & Tea Set - Throw in a cool mug from your favorite local ceramicist so that she can cozy up with a warm cup of tea.
A Membership - So many options here!
ClassPass - Maybe she’s a fitness fanatic or looking to find a new regular workout class.
Massage Envy - I love this one, because it feels like something she probably wouldn’t go out of her way to buy herself, but she’ll be so stoked to have it.
Cometeer Coffee - Okay, if you haven’t checked this out yet… it’s a must. It’s flash-frozen coffee that comes in a pod. All you have to do is add hot or cold water (depending on how you like your coffee), so they’re amazing when you’re on the go. Perfect for the coffee-loving mom in your life!
MasterClass or Skillshare - Has she recently picked up a new hobby? Maybe some new career aspirations? Both MasterClass and Skillshare offer a variety of online courses so that she can broaden her skills!
Brush up on your DIY skills! Heartfelt & handmade go a long way.
Create a handwritten recipe book filled with family favorites and meals she loves
Fill a jar with “Reasons I Love You” notes she can pull from anytime
Put together a custom coupon book (movie nights, chores, a day out together, and more)
Build her a mini herb garden! Paint a few terracotta pots and plant her favorite herbs for something personal that will last!
A thoughtful gift doesn’t need to be complicated. Choose something she’ll naturally reach for when she’s setting the table, pouring a drink, or bringing people together. Hopefully, this guide makes it easier to find that something. Cheers to the moms who host, nurture, and make every day a little better just by being in it!!
