Mother’s Day deals abound right now, but let’s be real: Sometimes,the best Mother’s Day gifts are the ones you buy yourself.
I love handmade cards and kids’ crafts as much as the next mother, and I will treasure them forever, but I’m not above using Mother’s Day as the perfect excuse to pick up a little something for myself, too. (Also, side note, if you’re pregnant, you totally count in the I-deserve-a-gift-for-Mother’s-Day category too!)
We turned to our Facebook pages to ask other real moms what they’re buying for themselves this Mother’s Day, and the answers were as varied as moms themselves. We found Mother’s Day deals on everything from a miracle makeup balm to garden stepping stones to a hanging basket that never needs water.
A Pretty Breastfeeding Shirt
“Socks, shorts, and a fancier breastfeeding top,” shares Genevieve Kaye.
Feeling pretty and put-together while nursing can be a challenge. Nothing can ruin your outfit faster than soaking through your shirt of squirting milk accidentally across the table, am I right? But one mom has a plan to treat herself to at least one nice, nursing-friendly shirt this year.
And this cute and “fancy” option from Amazon just might do the trick with a hidden nursing panel, pretty ruffled sleeves, and three colors to choose from. As a former nursing mom, I can also attest that the fabric is stretchy, which makes it ideal for finding the perfect spot to help your baby latch on, especially in public.
Hanging Basket
Linda Anderson is a girl after my own heart and is planning to pick up a hanging flower basket for herself. Adding a few hanging baskets and flowers to my yard and porch is my Mother’s Day tradition every year (although here in Michigan, that can be risky since it can still be too cold!).
I love flowers and you can usually find plenty of Mother’s Day deals on florals, but last year, I also cheated a bit and added a few artificial pots of flowers I keep outside year-round. Even my mother-in-law was fooled by them, and I love having a little pop of color all year round! This hanging basket on Amazon is a best-seller, arrives in time for Mother’s Day, and requires no watering. Score! Plus, you can choose from five colors, including yellow, pink, blue, and purple.
Creative Roots Create Your Own Handprint Stone by Horizon Group USA
This garden stepping stone is only $10, and it’s so meaningful. I picked up this DIY garden stepping stone kit for my own Mother’s Day gift because I love the idea of having my kids’ handprints in my garden forever.
My kids actually did this gift for me a few years ago, and I’m devastated because I forgot to add a protective coating to the stones, so the paint all washed away. So let this be a warning: Don’t forget to coat the stones with a protective layer after your kids paint the stones so they can be used outside safely.
A Beach Chair
Janet L. has her eye on beach days ahead and is shopping for a comfortable (and easy to transport) beach chair for herself. Janet, thank you for this idea, because I definitely need this in my life as well.
In my opinion, a perfect beach chair needs to hit a few key categories:
- Reclines
- Allows me to put my feet up
- Has a comfy headrest
- Includes a shade option
- Has a cupholder
This option from Amazon – which also happens to be on sale for $10 off! –hits all those boxes, and it’s super cute to boot. There are tons of colors to choose from on Amazon, and it has an average of 4.5 stars by shopper ratings, so it’s a safe bet.
West Path Mint & Peach Falsa Blanket
The friend of a mom who was defined as “the cool mom” in her group shared that she’s picking up a new Mexican blanket for herself for Mother’s Day. She recommended West Path as the go-to shop for handmade Mexican blankets, which make ideal picnic blankets, yoga mats, car blankets, beach blankets, or just a pretty throw to display at home.
She didn’t specify which blanket she was shopping for, but I fell in love with this pretty black, pastel pink, and teal option that also happens to be on sale for $10 off!
A New Purse
Many moms on the Cafemom.com Facebook page reported buying themselves new purses or wallets for Mother’s Day. “Nothing fancy, not a designer one, just a practical one that can hold what I need,” explained one mom.
I’m in the same boat this year. The buckle on my beloved crossbody bag broke, so I’m shopping for a new one, and this pretty cream-and-brown option caught my eye. I like that it keeps everything upright and is wipe-clean faux leather for the countless times I will toss (and lose it) in the back of my mom ride. Plus, it’s an Amazon bestseller with a 4.6-star rating.
iRobot Roomba Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo
I am of the belief that every mother/parent/person deserves a robot mop in their lives. Our house is in the middle of some renovations and without floors (it’s a long story), but I asked my own mother for a robot mop for Christmas, and it’s patiently waiting in its box for the day I can actually use it.
I am so excited to try out my robot mop because with five kids in the house, our floors truly need to be mopped nearly daily. And I don’t want to do it, so it’s about time a robot did something useful in my life other than just threaten my livelihood.
This popular iRobot Roomba and Mop combo is 46% off on Amazon right now as part of the many Roomba Mother’s Day deals online, so it brings the price down to only $150. Worth it.
Nestl Wicker Patio Furniture Set, 3 Piece Bistro Table and Chairs Set of 2
Amanda P. is hoping for a special place to unwind at the end of the day. She’s shopping for a new patio set for herself, which sounds completely deserved and lovely.
“[It] doesn’t have to be new, just a small table with chairs so I can relax in the evenings when I get home from work,” she shares.
This option is just $100 and arrives in time for Mother’s Day, so prepare the coffee, tea, mimosas, or juice, please!
LevelUpWay - 2025 Glass Hydrogen Water Bottle Generator With SPE PEM Technology
I admit that I have never heard of a hydrogen water bottle, but Cassandra C. is adding one to her cart as part of Mother’s Day deals on health and wellness products. Proponents of hydrogen water say it delivers fresh, purified water that tastes great and provides health benefits such as maximizing free radical neutralization.
This option is less than $90 and comes from a USA brand with many positive reviews. “This LevelUpWay Hydrogen Water Bottle is amazing! It’s easy to use, sleek, and keeps my water fresh,” raved one shopper. “I’ve noticed better hydration and more energy. The build is sturdy, and the battery lasts a while. Highly recommend!”
Jones Road Miracle Balm
$40
from
Jones Road
One mom shares that the secret to her picture-perfect glow that covers up a multitude of sleepless nights is this Jones Road Miracle Balm. I admit that I haven’t heard of it before, but I immediately want this product because it sounds like the product I’ve been searching for — you can use it with or without makeup to add a subtle touch of glow all over. There are probably a lot of Mother’s Day deals you can find on makeup, but if you’re looking for a simple, go-to product that will be effective with or without other products, pick up this one.
My teen daughters always seem to have that subtle glow, and although I will concede that for them, it’s the miracle of youth, it brings me great joy to know I can buy mine in my middle age for the low price of $40. It also comes in several different shades, including bronze, if you want to add a sun-kissed glow.
