Mother’s Day 2022 is quickly approaching, are you ready? There are so many gift guides out there that we try to find things that are a little different or things that we would enjoy ourselves. Take a look and let us know your favorites in the comments.

Mother’s Day 2022: Meet Quince, our new find!

For Mother’s Day, you want the mom in your life to feel spoiled. And a great way to do that, without breaking the bank is by shopping from Quince!

According to their website, they produce high-quality basics, but at a much lower cost! Their supply chain is extremely simplified, so products come right from the factory to you! They also are fully transparent with how much each item costs. From the cost of the materials, production, packaging and shipping, you know what you’re paying for!

What made them famous was their $50 cashmere sweater. Like, what?! I (Jen) had to buy one for myself, and it really is as soft as they say it is!

They also have silk and linen pieces, and even leggings that rival even the most expensive brands! Plus, fine gold jewelry, leather and vegan leather bags! And DIAMONDS!

Perfume

If your mom loves perfume, we’re always a proponent of a fragrance sampler or gift set. Sephora usually has great sampler sets where you get to try several trial size scents, and also get a voucher to get a full-size version of your favorite! Depending on which fragrance you choose, you might end up getting even more for your money!

Or, if you have a scent or brand in mind that you think this person would enjoy, some brands have their own version of a sampler!

A couple of our absolute fragrances we’ve talked about before, have smaller bottles of a couple scents together.

Sentimental

Sentimental gifts are always a great option, especially when they “come” from kids. Etsy is a great place to shop for these gifts, and you get to support a creator in the process.

A special shoutout goes to a friend of Jen’s from years ago who started Mid Island Ivy, specializing in pressed flowers. These beautiful flowers are in bookmarks and frames!

We love this book/journal because it reminds us of what “The Harper Girls” is all about. We started this blog as a tribute to our mom/grandma and to write down the lessons she taught us so we don’t forget them.

A candle may be a simple gift, but it’s also one that has a long time span. She will see this great message every time she lights it and she can even keep the jar after the wax is gone.

Custom jewelry is also a wonderful, meaningful gift. Here are two options, both from Etsy. The first is a custom name bracelet and the second is a Mother’s ring that you can customize with the birthstones of her children and/or grandchildren.

How about a personalized Mother’s Day card? We have talked about how much we love Tiffany Ascensio Designs in the past and we love her new Mother’s Day cards. The best thing about these cards is that they can be customized by hair and skin tone for both mom and child. Such a sweet addition.

Mother’s Day 2022: Show That You Know Her Favorite Things

Sometimes the best gifts are not the biggest or the most expensive, they are the most thoughtful. The ones that say “I pay attention”. On one occasion I (Dianne) got a Donny Osmond mug. A small gift but extremely thoughtful. If you know me, you know that Donny has been my crush since I was 12 years old. I love that they knew that about me. So, if she had a teen crush (or still does), a book or a t-shirt is a fun idea. And if the band is coming to your town, concert tickets would be great too!

You can even add a Ticketmaster Gift Card for future events if they aren’t coming to your town soon! It doubles as a night out.

I (Dianne) added the NKOTB tee shirt is specifically for Jen, as that was/is her teen crush! The Rob Lowe book is one that I’ve read and loved. If you were a “Brat Pack” fan in the 1980’s, you will love it. I also recommend Andrew McCarthy’s book, Brat: An 80’s Story

Is she a Bridgerton fan? Amazon sells the complete book collection as a set:

And while we don’t gift DVD’s as much as we once did, there are still a place for them when it comes to the classics. Here’s on example of a great classic movie collection!

Time Alone for Mother’s Day 2022

I (Jen) said it last year, and I’ll say it again (and probably every year forward), give the mother figure in your life time ALONE. It can be a 100% free gift, and most likely their favorite. Take the kids out to the park for a couple hours, and let mom be home alone to watch some trash TV or take an uninterrupted shower. You can always add a few of her favorite things to enjoy while she’s enjoying her time alone.

Both of us are “food centric”, so if you get us our favorite snacks to enjoy during our time alone (especially if we don’t have to make them ourselves) we would be very, very happy?

Keeping on the Bridgeton theme.. how about some tea and scones?

Is she more into thrillers? Then how about an Air Popper popcorn machine?

Or, if you want to spend a little money, arrange for a spa day, and all she has to do is show up. Giving a gift with tasks associated with it (pick a date, pick the services, call and schedule) isn’t as relaxing as you likely intended.
