I love giving sentimental gifts. The thought of passing on something with meaning and intention behind it makes the gift even more special IMO! (Disclaimer- I do come from a very emotionally forward and sentimental family, so this is very much our thing lol!)

When Mother’s Day rolls around, I love shopping on Etsy for gifts that speak to the heart (totally not sponsored, btw!), and I’ve found a host of sentimental Mother’s Day gifts this year! Here’s what I’ve been brainstorming for my mom (and all the mother figures in my life!) this year…

A personalized pillow…

My mom LOVES throw pillows, and this one can be personalized with song lyrics or anything else that holds a special meaning!

A custom constellation map…

I actually got both my parents a version of these for Christmas last year with their wedding date & wedding song, and it was a hit!

A travel-tracking poster…

Both my parents love to travel now that they’re retired, so if you have a travel-loving mom (or dad or friend or SO), this is a fun gift that lets them keep track of all their adventures!

A long-distance reminder…

I briefly moved away from my folks for a few years and was in a different state, so I know how hard distance between family can be. Now, we live close to my family but far from my in-laws, so this is a great gift option for my mom in law!

A sweet, personal necklace…

These are so darn pretty, and having a unique flower along with someone’s name makes these necklaces extra special! You could personalize the necklace with names of loved ones, or even your moms own name.

A name ring…

Similar to the personalized name necklace, these rings are so pretty to show the connection between your mom and you! You could even do a few sibling names as a special reminder!

An outdoor accent…

My grandma has a definite green thumb, so this pretty customizable stone is a beautiful accent to her garden! You can also display it at the front door or on a fireplace hearth if you’re not as outdoorsy (like me lol).

A personalized storybook…

This one I thought would be a beautiful, unique Mother’s Day gift for expecting moms! You can personalize this storybook with yours and your child’s name for a cute keepsake.

A special recipe book…

I love cooking, and so does my mom, so a special place to store recipes where they won’t get damaged is a great gift! The cover is so pretty too, so she’ll love to keep it out in the kitchen!

A cozy letter of love…

My mom and I also share a love of throw blankets (& probably too great a love…), and I love this custom letter blanket that lets you preserve a special letter to mom!

A set of lucky pennies…

My mom made something similar to this for my 21st birthday, and I still cherish it to this day! The hearts on the pennies correspond to the birth years of each child, and it’s a sweet way to make sure she carries a little luck with her wherever she goes.

Wishing you and your moms, mother figures, surrogate moms, heavenly moms, and family a happy and blessed Mother’s Day!
