Mothers Day Gift Baskets For Those Special Women In Your Life

By Camille Johnston


Surprise the special women in your life with Mothers Day gift baskets. The possibilities are endless as to the variety of items to fill it with. Just think of the activities, interests or hobbies your wife, mother, grandmother or special person really enjoys and make your choices accordingly. They will be pleasantly surprised at your thoughtfulness and creativity.

Spa items are always a universal selection. What woman can resist bottles of scented bubble bath and lotion? Add loofah sponges, a manicure set, nail polish and a lightly scented cologne and fill the remainder of the container with soft hand towels and washcloths tied with a coordinating ribbon. Complimentary certificates to a quality local spa for facials, massages, manicures, pedicures and haircare would be a wonderful and welcome surprise for any woman.

A gardening theme for the flower enthusiast or vegetable gardener is also appropriate. Kneeling pads, seeds, flower bulbs, trowels and other hand tools, and good quality gardening gloves are perfect fillers. Books and magazines on gardening will also be enjoyed by the recipient. Paid tuition to a gardening class or tickets to a home and garden show would make an extra special impact.

If she is wine lover, a bottle of the very best wine or champagne with monogrammed glasses will get her attention. Include a silver tray with a variety of gourmet cheeses and crackers for an intimate happy hour. An invitation to a local wine dinner will also ensure a special night with the gift giver. Instead of a traditional basket, this gift could be presented in an elegant wine bucket or wooden wine crate.

If she is a chocolate lover, lovely boxes of assorted chocolate candies would be the perfect present along with martinis glasses with all of the makings for chocolate martinis. A small fondue pot with select food items to dip into the melted chocolate would also be a imaginative addition. These extra items could include pretzels, marshmallows and assorted nuts such as almonds and pecans.

If reading is her favorite past time, choose a few novels in her favorite genre. A bookmark with an appropriate quote and a clip-on light can also be added. If your budget allows it, a Nook or Kindle along with an interesting cover would make an amazing and welcome filler.

Expectant mothers are happy to receive items such as a small suitcase, bedroom slippers, robes or soft nightgowns for their hospital stay. Baby name books and instructional books on childbirth and childcare will hold a place on their bookshelves for years. Including soothing and moisturizing lotions and lullaby CDs are extra thoughtful touches.

Assemble those Mothers Day gift baskets with your specific women in mind. The more personal the contents are, the more special they will be to the recipients. Show how much you care by choosing the most unique and original items for all of the favorite women in your life.
