Mother's Day Celebration Ideas

When May comes around, it’s time to honor the mother figures in our lives with gifts and celebration. Whether you’re trying to find a gift for the new mom in your life or you’re interested in Mother’s Day activities to do with kids who are a bit older, our team is here to help with unique ideas and fun themes. Follow along as we explore some of the best Mother’s Day celebration ideas here.

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

• Baby Carrier

Many new moms need to go out and run errands, but they often lack a comfortable and convenient way to keep their baby close. If you want to help mom carry her baby more comfortably and ensure they have plenty of time to bond, the Huggs® baby hip carrier is a great choice. Our baby carrier will become an indispensable essential for any mom due to its comfort-first approach. Moms can choose to carry their baby on their back, in front, or even with just the fanny pack baby seat. Designed with adjustable, criss-cross straps, low back support, and thick shoulder padding, moms will be able to carry their little ones all day long.

• High Chair

If the mom in your life is just starting to introduce their little one to the world of solid feeding, they’ll need a high chair that is sturdy, easy to clean, and baby-safe. The Abiie® wooden high chair offers both three and five-point harness configurations to keep even the squirmiest babies safe. It also comes with a removable tray for easy cleaning and a cushioned chair that keeps baby comfortable for every mealtime. The thoughtful engineering and stylish design deliver a modern aesthetic with high functionality, making it a great gift idea for anyone celebrating Mother’s Day.

• Suction Dishware for Babies

Having the right dishware when a new mom starts teaching her baby how to self-feed is critical. Many babies decide they want to try and throw their dishes around, so a suction cup set will keep their plates and bowls completely secured to the high chair tray. Our baby bowls and plates are made from non-toxic materials that are dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. Our plates and bowls also come sectioned to ensure ridges that allow baby to more easily pick up their food and provide separation for different types of food.

• Waterproof Bibs

Another choice for Mother’s Day that can help new moms enjoy simpler baby care is the Ruby Wrapp® silicone baby bib. We love gifting these patented bibs to new moms because they’re waterproof, foldable, and completely babyproof. Fold this food-grade bib up into a protected pocket that can hold baby utensils and carry it with you anywhere you go!

• Bracelet Crafts

When your mom is your best friend, exchanging friendship bracelets can be a fun Mother’s Day celebration idea to involve both adults and kids in this special day. Spend the afternoon with a bead kit and string together a friendship bracelet that’s a wearable keepsake of your love for each other. Grab beads in her favorite color, add charms, and tie it all together for a crafting day that helps you bond.

• Book A Spa Day

Many moms are in desperate need of a day to rest and relax. Make that your Mother’s Day celebration idea when you book her a professional massage or facial at your local spa. You can make this a Mother’s Day activity for kids when you book a Mommy & Me service that includes your little ones. Just make sure to ask about the age limit to ensure your little one isn’t too little for a spa service.

• Make A Time Capsule

If you have kids who are old enough to understand the importance of making memories, creating a time capsule together can be a unique Mother’s Day celebration idea. For this event, you can choose the perfect vessel together, adding in crafts, letters, photos, and other sentimental trinkets. Bury the capsule in your backyard or put it in a safe place for at least five years before opening it together. You can make this a Mother’s Day tradition when you replace the old items in the capsule with new ones every time you open it.

• Book A Photoshoot

You can make this Mother’s Day one she’ll never forget when you book a family photoshoot to commemorate her. Coordinate your outfits to capture this special moment and frame your favorite photo for a special keepsake.

• Host A Cookout

This Mother’s Day celebration idea allows you to celebrate several moms at the same time! Host a backyard BBQ where dads cook up delicious food while mom chats with her friends and plays fun games with the kids! You can also host this as a potluck, where each family brings a dish to contribute to the meal.
