Moms are our biggest supporters – they’re there for you when you need them most and never waver in their love and care for you. Not only that, but our moms are the entire reason we’re here and able to do what we love. Give back all that they have done for us with the perfect gift this Mother’s Day. Whether she’s an avid gardener, loves to travel or enjoys cooking up delicious meals, you can find everything and more at Tractor Supply. Here are some of our best Mother’s Day gift ideas to wow whoever you celebrate with.
Start with the Basics: Flowers and Plants
Every mom deserves beautiful blooms and greenery on Mother’s Day if that’s what they enjoy. While you can opt for a bouquet, try for something more long-lasting, such as a flower or plant she can put in her garden. This also gives you the opportunity to turn your gift into a memorable activity by doing the planting and gardening together.
When picking out the right flower, consider your mom’s favorite kinds. Does she love the statement-making colors that hydrangeas deliver? Or maybe she enjoys something more classic, such as roses. You should also think about your area’s climate and the types of flowers that will grow best in springtime. This ensures your mom’s special gift provides colorful blooms and flowers for the whole spring and summer season, giving her a gentle reminder of your love as she admires their beauty when lounging in the backyard.
Other flowers that work well for spring planting include:
- Gladiolus: Also called sword lilies, these flowers come with sharp-shaped leaves and long stems with frilly, colorful petals, and grow best in well-draining soil with full sun to part shade.
- Dahlias: These offer stunning, colorful blooms and make for great cut flowers, requiring well-draining soil and full sun to part shade.
- Pansies: These look best when planted in garden beds or containers, and need well-draining soil and full sun to part shade to grow.
- Peonies: Available in many varieties for either garden growing or as cut flowers, these produce large, colorful blooms and need full sun, as well as well-draining soil.
- Marigolds: These come in beautiful yellow coloring to add a bright touch to any garden, and they grow well in well-draining soil with full sun to part shade.
Gardening Supplies to Support Her Green Thumb
Some moms may want to grow their own blooms from scratch, finding immense joy in caring for plants throughout the spring and summer. If this sounds like your mom, think about skipping a flower bouquet or plant and opt for a more exciting gift, such as a gardening gift basket.
Start by finding a decorative basket and adding her favorite seeds, anything from flowers to vegetables. Then, gather all the gardening tools she may need for planting, such as potting soil, pruning shears or a watering can, as well as mulch or fertilizer. Top off your gift basket with stylish gardening gloves so she can keep hands protected from dirt and grime.
Don’t be afraid to think out of the box this Mother’s Day – you can customize your gifts even further by putting supplies and accessories in a garden cart instead of a decorative basket. Finish your presentation with her favorite color bow, adding a personalized touch she’s guaranteed to love.
Display Your Love with Women’s Apparel
Maybe you’re stuck on what exactly to get your mom this Mother’s Day. Luckily, you can never go wrong with women’s clothing, especially when it comes to T-shirts and accessories. Women’s shirts come in many styles and designs, and you can even find options with fun sayings and phrases that really speak to her personality and flair.
If your mom needs something keep her cozy and warm, consider a women’s hoodie in a pullover or zippered style, featuring a large front pocket to keep hands when they get cold, or a hat with a fun pom and cuff detail so she can stay warm and stylish. From flannels to baseball caps to socks, we have exactly what you need to bring joy and happiness to your mom on this special day.
Home Decor and Furniture
Some moms love decorating their homes and adding decor that make the space truly feel like their own. If this is the case, you also can’t go wrong with a personalized gift she can display in her living room, such as a picture frame. Print out your favorite family photo, or find one with just the two of you, to give frames a personalized touch and highlight the beautiful memories you’ve made together. Or, if the mother in your life loves comforting scents and cozy vibes, get her a new candle and blanket so she’s ready for movie night.
For moms who love spending their time on the back porch or patio, don’t forget about outdoor decor and furniture, such as a new rocking chair or patio lounger, along with throw pillows to complete the space. You can also purchase a fountain or windchimes to help create a tranquil, calming area for mom to retreat to at the end of a long day, as well as bird feeders and seed for those wanting to connect with nature.
Cooking Accessories for the Foodie Mom
Maybe your mother loves to follow recipes to make something new for the family. Or does she enjoy experimenting with flavors to create a truly unique dish? Whatever she prefers, kitchen appliances and accessories are an ideal gift idea for those who enjoy making incredible meals. Baking moms will love a stand mixer, with many of today’s models including features that make cooking easier, not matter what dish you’re serving up. Pasta attachments and other stand mixer accessories allow her to get even more creative.
Moms who want easier ways to cook their meals may want an air fryer, which has become popular in recent years for its ability to cook basically anything with ease, giving it the same crunchy texture as traditional fryer setups. Finish off your gift with a new set of baking sheets or pots and pans. If your mom’s a coffee lover, get her a new coffee maker or espresso machine, one with special programmable features that make her mornings more convenient. Or, if your mom prefers tea, a tea kettle can be a great idea, especially if it matches her existing kitchen decor and colors.
Additionally, grills aren’t reserved exclusively for the dads – many moms love to grill up the flavor with a charcoal or gas grill setup. If this is your mom, grilling accessories, such as charcoal, grilling utensils and covers, make for the perfect gift, with all the tools necessary to make fresh-grilled dishes.
DIY Tools and Supplies for Crafty Moms
Some moms like to DIY their own projects, using their creative abilities and instincts to create something truly beautiful. To help her bring her visions to life, she needs the right set of tools.
Moms who love making over furniture will want certain power tools, such as cordless drills, finish nailers, sanders and other professional equipment. She’ll also need painting accessories, such as paintbrushes and rollers, allowing her to give projects that special final touch. Consider presenting all her new tools inside a brand new toolbox in her favorite color, and throw in a pair of coveralls or overalls to help her protect her clothes while she creates.
Gift Ideas for Moms Who Love Exploring and Traveling
Whether your mom has a daily commute to work or loves to go on road trips to find new adventures, there are plenty of gift ideas that make traveling more comfortable and convenient.
For example, GPS systems for the car make it easy to get directions, allowing you to know exactly where to go at all times. They forgo the need to look at your phone for directions, which can be dangerous and, not to mention, illegal in some states. Ensure moms stay safe on the road by getting her a GPS navigation system. You can also buy her a new suitcase or backpack in her favorite color or design so she can travel in style.
Fitness Tools for Active Moms
Exercise can be a great form of stress relief, and being active allows us to stay healthy. From moms who enjoy simple yoga sessions with friends to those who do more heavy-duty workouts, you can find a variety of accessories that your mom will love for Mother’s Day.
Does she enjoy getting around to explore? Consider getting her a bike, along with a helmet for added safety. Or purchase a new yoga mat, one that features colors and designs that truly show off her personality and style. If you want to go a little bigger this Mother’s Day, opt for a pair of Bluetooth or wireless earbuds, allowing her to listen to music and catch up on podcasts while she works out. Don’t forget to complete your gift with an insulated water bottle with special features, such as built-in sippers and filters, so she can stay hydrated throughout her entire workout.
