Mothers somehow always know when we need the warmest hugs, how to create cosy corners we can call home, and when to give sage advice that helps us navigate life. Take this Mother’s Day to show her how well you know her too—with gifts she’ll appreciate every day. Whether your mom is the designated host for her friend’s group or someone who loves to experiment with new recipes, we found thoughtful gifts that every kind of mom would want and love.
For the hostess-with-the-mostest Mom
She is the life of the party, known for not only welcoming everyone but also making sure there is no end to the fun. Elevate her hosting experiences with elegant serveware that gets her all the compliments. You can pick a gorgeous grey and white marble board or an epoxy wooden tray for her to create a charcuterie board. A handmade round tray would be great for organising her dinner table items and pure brass serving spoons will surely steal the show when she brings out her delicious homemade salad.
For the fashionista Mom
If your mom’s fashion sense has played a major role in shaping yours, get her timeless pieces that will find a forever home in her closet. Choose a comfy handmade tie-dye robe and handloom cotton stole for her to lounge in over the weekend, or a classy cotton ikat dress with ravishing ruffle details for brunching with her friends. For all the designated family shoppers who are so hard to surprise, place a safe bet with a beautiful beaded silver necklace.
For the artistic Mom
Whether it was framing our crayon art or encouraging us to join her for pottery sessions, some mothers instill a love of art since childhood. It is now time for you to remind her to connect with her artistic side with unique gifts that inspire creativity. Make her day extra special with a notebook made from 100% lokta (Nepali) paper where she can note down her musings. Go for an off-beat find of a musical-notes inspired saree made from poly-crepe, if you want to wow her. If she loves all things art, you cannot go wrong with an art print. Choose an abstract painting with bold colours or a traditional namaste one, depending on her taste.
For the home decor enthusiast Mom
Home is all those little corners that have seen countless good memories and are lovingly curated by your mom. We found decor pieces that will help create a much-needed peaceful space to relax and unwind. Wall plates are a great way to add colour to blank walls, like this traditional lippan art form featuring pichwai motifs. You can also bring the outdoors in with a gorgeous geometrical indoor planter. A handmade quilt featuring summer colours can instantly brighten up her bedroom while a rainbow-themed fridge magnet will weave its magic in the kitchen.
For the top chef Mom
Coming home to the aroma of your mother’s cooking is one of the most heartwarming feelings in life. Show your gratitude to your mom for always coming up with exciting recipes that suit everyone’s palate with these unique kitchen finds. A breathable linen apron with cute cross-back detail can help shower her with love or think about adding some beautiful kitchen spoons with mandala designs to her cutlery collection. A durable wooden board made of mango wood will not only help her in food prep but also be a great display piece in the kitchen. And what better way to butter her up than with a cute butterbox with floral details.
For the sentimental Mom
Any day you choose to express your love for your mom can be Mother’s Day but marking the day with a thoughtful gift will certainly give you some extra brownie points. We have gathered gifts that will be a meaningful token of your appreciation, like a lovely card for your lovely amma. Help her sort out her never-ending chores with a to-do list—all the more charming for plant lovers. There is something super-special about a customised portrait that she can rest on her nightstand or display proudly in her living room. Last but not the least, bring an old-world charm to her vanity with a handmade trinket box to store photographs, jewellery, and her other treasures.

For the globetrotter Mom
You are in the right place if your mom is someone who loves to discover new places, people, and cultures. Help her plan her next adventure while happily marking all the amazing places she has already visited with a wooden world map. While exploring new places is all fun, packing, sorting, and airport travel can be exhausting. A customised luggage tag can help her easily identify her bags, and a personalised passport cover can proudly bear witness to all the stamps and memories she has collected over the years. An exquisitely embroidered pouch to store her glasses or travel documents will remind her of your presence even when you’re hundreds of miles apart.
For the sporty Mom
She is athletic, active, and full of inspiration. Aid her healthy way of living with gifts that give her comfort along with style, like a white t-shirt for gym sessions and a beautiful yoga mat featuring mandala art. We also found a tiger print pull-over for her to make a bold statement on an everyday basis and a yoga-themed sculpture that can rest on her work desk—a constant reminder of her mindfulness.
