5 Simple Ways to Celebrate Mother’s Day

We love moms — and all the women who play a motherly role in our lives. From grandmas and aunts to cousins, girlfriends, and chosen moms, this day is all about celebrating the women who show up with love, strength, and heart every day.

Whether you’re planning something big or keeping it simple, here are five easy and meaningful ways to show your appreciation this Mother’s Day.

1. Cook a Full Day of Delicious Meals

Give mom the gift of rest — and good food. Start with a cozy breakfast like a French toast casserole, move on to a simple yet satisfying savory toast for lunch, and finish the day with a crowd-pleasing dinner like tacos, burgers, or homemade pizza. Bonus points if she doesn’t have to lift a finger!

2. Frame the Kids’ Art

Turn a sweet piece of kids’ artwork into a lasting keepsake. Pick up a frame at Target, Walmart, or a craft store like Michaels — or go custom with a service like Framebridge. Want to surprise her? Have the kids create something new, especially anything with their handprints or footprints.

3. Create an At-Home Retreat

Give mom a mini escape without leaving home. Set up a cozy corner with her favorite book or magazine, run her a bubble bath, or prep a quiet space with candles, coffee, wine, or her go-to playlist. A little solitude can feel like the ultimate luxury.

4. Pick Your Own Flowers

Skip the pre-made bouquet and opt for a more hands-on approach. Visit a local flower farm and pick your own blooms — it’s a fun outdoor activity and a meaningful way to spend time together. You’ll leave with beautiful flowers and some great photos.

5. Send Her to the Spa

Whether it’s a massage, facial, or mani-pedi, a gift card to her favorite spa or salon is always a hit. It’s a thoughtful way to encourage her to relax, recharge, and enjoy a little well-deserved pampering.

Celebrate Her, Her Way
No matter how you celebrate, the most important thing is making her feel seen, loved, and appreciated. A thoughtful gesture — big or small — can go a long way. Here’s to the women who make life a little brighter every day. Happy Mother’s Day!

Top Five Mother’s Day Deals

Aren’t moms the best? I think so too! I count down until Mother’s Day every year, and my plans always change slightly. Whether my mom and I set aside time to go to brunch, share a meal with a larger group of family, spend the afternoon reading in her backyard, or plan a complete experience to enjoy, the key thing is we almost always plan something we can do together.

Even if we have something in mind to share together, I typically purchase a little something extra too. So, whether you’re seeing your favorite ladies in person or hoping to send something straight to her door, there is still time to shop and prep before Sunday, May 12.

Today, I thought I would share how you can shop for Mother’s Day and earn big kicks through Shopkick’s Countdown to Mother’s Day! Gift ideas, retailers, and the specifics are all below for you. So, let’s get our Mother’s Day gift on!

LOFT:

Up her style with a gift from LOFT! My mom and I are known for our online shopping, so we were both thrilled when LOFT was announced as a new Shopkick partner. I would describe my style as preppy and feminine, while my mom’s style is more classic and casual. Without fail, we always find something we have to have from LOFT. They have an excellent selection of shorts and t-shirts perfect for summer, their Lou & Grey line is a must-experience, and we’re both fans of their dresses for everyday and events. It’s impossible to go wrong with anything from LOFT!
