Scroll down to see the Best Mother’s Day gifts for 2023. Save it, send it to your significant other as a little hint hint, or just leave this screen up on their desktop.

I never really truly appreciated my mom until I went off to college. And now that I have kids of my own, I can better understand her and when she said that her love for us was unending. My mom is the best there is and my best friend. So when choosing a Mother’s Day gift for her, I want it to be just as beautiful and special as she is. All of these gifts are ideas I would gift my own mom and I think yours would love too!

The Best Mother’s Day Gifts for 2023

1.) A beautiful linen caftan from Lake Pajamas

This gauzy caftan is a timeless classic just like mom. And it comes in other beautiful colors too.

2.) Victoria Emerson mama cuff

For the mama who loves a little sparkle.

3.) Glass purse vase

Is this not the cutest way to give her some fresh florals?

4.) Glass Mug

The prettiest way for her to sip her coffee or tea. Gift this with some DIY personalized tea bags for the sweetest most heartfelt gesture.

5.) Book Nook

If she is a book lover, she will love this little nook to hold her place, her coffee and reading glasses. Gift with a classic book, one off my book recommendation lists here, the one in #6, or the gift of Kindle Unlimited!

6.) Personalized Super Mom Book

this is a cute gift idea from the kids. Order now so you have it in time!

7.) Nostalgic View Finder

This is a super unique and nostalgic gift! Take all of your favorite photos and memories together and have them made into a reel so mom can look at them whenever she wants.

8.) Custom Mama Sweatshirt

Personalize it with those littles whom she wears their heart on her sleeve.

9.) Custom Birth Flower Necklace

This was a really popular gift item from the gift guide last year. So beautiful.

10.) Hummingbird Feeder

For the bird watcher and just because this feeder is absolutely gorgeous!!

11.) Butterfly Feeder

This is a great gift for the gardener or if she just loves nature. In the warmer months, is a feeding station to attract butterflies and pollinators to the garden. And in the colder months, is a home for them.

12.) Eye Massager

This has been one of the most popular items on the Christmas gift guide for the past two years. Great for headache/migraine sufferers, those with eye strain or if she just needs to relax.

This is the perfect Strawberry Lemonade Momosa if you are looking for a way to treat mom for Mother’s Day. Sweet strawberry lemonade is frozen into beautiful floral ice molds and topped off with champagne for the perfect mimosa for her on Mother’s Day or any spring brunch. It would also be a beautiful drink to serve at a bridal shower as well! Scroll down for my recipe and more Mother’s Day ideas from my friends at the Cozy Creative Collaborative.

Now on to The Perfect Strawberry Lemonade Momosa for Mother’s Day

I love a classic mimosa but have you ever had a strawberry lemonade mimosa? This is such a sweet and refreshing sip and the rose shaped ice cubes are so pretty! You will need these ice cube molds to make the roses. You can do any shape, and Amazon has several to choose from but I loved the roses for spring and Mother’s Day. It would be perfect for a Mother’s Day tea or brunch. If you’re looking for Mother’s Day tea ideas, make sure you check out this post from last year to see our Mother’s Day tea with my DIY tea bags.

This can easily be made into a mocktail too with some non-alcoholic bubbles.

Here is my recipe

Ingredients:

Lemonade
Pureed strawberries (I used frozen strawberries but made sure they were thawed)
champagne
lemon zest (optional)
chopped basil (optional)

Directions:

1.) Start by preparing the mixture to fill your ice molds. In a mason jar I combined lemonade, a few spoonfuls of pureed strawberries and a pinch of chopped basil and mixed well. (You don’t have to add basil but I had some in my fridge and I love the flavor of strawberry and basil together).

2.) Sprinkle some lemon zest into the ice molds then fill each with the strawberry lemonade mixture. Save the leftover strawberry lemonade in a mason jar in the fridge.

3.) Cover the ice cube molds and freeze.

4.) When ready to serve, pop out an ice cube from the mold and place into a glass.

5.) Top with champagne or prosecco.

6.) Add a splash of strawberry lemonade to taste.

Enjoy!!!!

DIY homemade tea bags

These DIY homemade tea bags make the perfect thoughtful, personalized gift idea for Mother’s Day or birthdays. Scroll down to see how I made them. This post contains affiliate links.

I have always appreciated receiving handmade gifts, to me they are more meaningful. Our mom loves tea and growing up we used to do always have tea parties. This year we surprised her and threw our Mother’s Day celebration a few weeks early with a Mother Daughter Tea and these DIY homemade tea bags. She loved them and they looked really cute on the table too!

If you make these, be sure to share a photo and tag me on Instagram @ourtiny_nest so that I can see how they came out! If you’re not following me already, click here to follow me on IG 🙂

You will need:

Coffee filters
Loose leaf tea
Twine
Cardstock or printed photos
Stapler

Directions:

1.) I started by printing out some of my favorite photos that I wanted to use for the tea bags and cutting them into small squares for the tags. If you’re not going to use pictures, you could also do cardstock and write little personalized messages on them.

2.) Take a coffee filter and scoop 1 1/2 teaspoon of loose leaf tea into the center of the coffee filter.

3.) Bring the edges of the coffee filter up to make it into like a blossom and pinch the center to close it off.

4.) Take a piece of twine and wrap around the part of the coffee filter that you have pinched off and tie closed leaving enough of the twine coming off the tea bag for steeping.

5.) Using a stapler, staple your picture or cardstock to the end of the twine.
