We’ve assembled some unique Mother’s Day gift basket ideas to give you inspiration for making a truly exceptional gift. Use these ideas as a starting point, then customize them to make your gift even more impressive. Assembling your own Mother’s Day gift basket will allow you to personalize every aspect, from the contents to the decoration, so you can present her with the perfect gift to show how much you appreciate her on her special day.
Fabulous florals
Every mom loves to receive fresh flowers on Mother’s Day! You can’t go wrong with traditional carnations, elegant roses, or springy tulips. For a personal touch, include her favorite blooms, or mix them up to create a custom arrangement. For something a bit different, fill a gift basket with other floral-themed items, such as a pretty art print, decorative stationery, a scented candle, or even a variety of wildflower seeds so she can grow her own spring flowers.
Queen bee
Treat your mom like the queen bee she is! This cheerful gift basket can be filled with specialty items such as jars or sticks of local honey, a honey dipper, honey-infused beauty products, and a beeswax candle. Add a novelty keychain, mug, or makeup bag for a bit of fun. Use natural materials and stick to a color palette of white, yellow and black to tie the theme together.
For the sweetest mom
If your mom has a sweet tooth, a gourmet gift basket full of sweet treats is sure to put a smile on her face this Mother’s Day. Include a mix of her favorite confections, a sampling of specialty chocolates, a hot cocoa bomb, or freshly baked cookies and brownies. Complete the look with some sweet decorations to match. She will love having her own personal supply of confections on hand to satisfy her next craving.

Tea for two
For the tea-loving mother, a tea gift basket is a perfect thing. Find a pretty vintage tea cup, saucer, and stirring spoon at a local flea market or garage sale. Add her favorite variety of tea bags or loose-leaf tea and a box of shortbread cookies. Now she will have everything she needs to make the perfect cup of tea. Even better, make a date for an afternoon tea party and join her for a cup!
Stop and smell the rosé
If your mom enjoys the occasional glass of wine, treat her to a lovely wine gift basket. Choose a bottle of her favorite variety, then add some fun accessories and snacks. We love a pretty pink rosé and matching stemless wine glass for Mother’s Day. Pair with a selection of meats and cheeses and chocolate-covered strawberries. Style with a coordinating filler material and ribbon for a pretty finish.
Luxe spa day
Another common gift idea is spa or self-care items. It’s a great opportunity to encourage your mom to take time for herself and enjoy some much-needed relaxation. To make this basket unique, elevate it by choosing a specific theme and selecting luxe, high-end products. Identify a relaxing scent she will love, such as lavender or vanilla, and include a variety of bath and body products so she can enjoy a pampering spa day at home.
Gift card assortment
You may not think gift cards are an especially creative idea for Mother’s Day, but if you arrange them in a beautiful gift basket, it will be a unique gift she will not soon forget! For the mom who has everything, is hard to shop for, or simply loves to shop for herself, gift cards are the perfect solution. To create an impressive display, package each gift card in a small gift box or tape each to a wooden skewer. Fill a pretty container with decorative filler and arrange your gift cards so they are all visible. Finish with a beautiful bow for a simple yet elegant gift.
