Gifts For Every Love Language: A Mother’s Day Gift Guide!

Mother’s Day is just around the corner (May 11), and that means it's time to creatively think about how to put a smile on your special lady’s face with an unforgettable gift! Understanding her love language can guide you to the perfect gift. Match your mother’s love language to a memorable gift with our guide below!

1. Quality Time

If your mother, or a mother-like figure, finds it important to deeply connect and share moments, you may want to gift her with a spa date, concert tickets, a weekend getaway, or simply take her out to a restaurant while having a nice meal paired with memorable conversations. Many restaurants have special pre-fixed menu deals specifically for Mother’s Day. Check out this list!

2. Words of Affirmation

Does your special lady have the best reactions to the compliments you give her? Do words sit on her heart, heavy, and she never forgets? If so, words of affirmation may be her love language. Buying a book that reminds her of your love, even when you are absent, is a great gift. Amazon has a wide variety. Personalized messages are also great. DIY affirmation jars are a great gift that has a positive impact. Head over to YouTube and search for DIY affirmation jars for more inspiration!

3. Physical Touch

Physical gestures can be a way for people to feel emotionally connected and comforted, but physical touch isn’t just hugging and kissing. If your mother enjoys the way her bed feels after a long day, if her bed brings her comfort, you may want to consider gifting your mother a comfy blanket, cozy slippers/socks, a pajama set, or the perfect pillow. Anything that physically touches her body outside of another human can be considered the perfect gift in response to her physical touch love language.

4. Gift Giving

As simple as it sounds, gift-giving is a love language that may be difficult for some because the options are very broad. However, try to think about what makes the special lady in your life so special. What are her interests? Gifts can range from a new cookware set, beauty products, jewelry, technology, and much more.

5. Acts of Service

Many people like for others to show their love by always being a helping hand. If that sounds like your mother, acts of service are her love language. Some gifts for acts of service can include cleaning the house or calling a service to make improvements around the house. She may also like for someone else to cook a meal for her to take the weight off cooking for a night. Does your mom do her hair, makeup, and nails? Paying for someone else to do it is also a great gift, so she can relax for the day.

Happy Mother's Day!
