Jenny MilamWe all have moms in our lives we’d love to spoil—whether they’re our own mothers or in-laws, our aunts or grandmothers, our girlfriends or wives, or our sisters or besties. This year in particular, since most of us will be celebrating from a safe distance, make an extra effort to show her you recognize all she does for her family.
Looking for the perfect way to love her up? Take a look at our suggestions below, according to her zodiac sign.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
The Aries mom might have been going a little stir crazy the past couple of months. She’s bold and fiery, and likes to be out and about. She might love a chic new coffee maker, a snazzy pair of sneakers for her walks, or a bold red lipstick she can rock when she’s back out on the town.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Taurus loves surrounding herself with creature comforts, so all of this staying at home probably hasn’t gotten her too down. She would love garments made out of luxurious fabrics, fun kitchen gadgets, or beautiful serving platters she can use when she’s back to her entertaining self.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
What chatty Gemini moms really want is some time with their loved ones that they miss. So definitely schedule a serious one-on-one gab sesh via Zoom or Facetime. But beyond that, she’d really love some fun party games for when her social butterfly self can come back out and play.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Sweet, sensitive Cancer mama is very much at home safe within her house, but she really misses nurturing those around her. A family photo in a beautiful frame would bring her to tears (in a good way!), and she’d also love some luxurious candles or bath oils.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
Oh, Leo misses the spotlight right now! Give her some Instagram worthy accessories, like a glamorous pair of sunglasses or an eye shadow palette from her favorite brand. You also can’t go wrong with decanters or other beautiful items she can display at her next party.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Thoughtful Virgo moms will appreciate gifts you put a little extra thought into. And by that, she means gifts she can put a little extra thought into, like a beautiful notebook or planner, a complicated but satisfying puzzle, or a piece of unique or custom jewelry.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
Libras place a high value on beauty. You could never go wrong with a delivery of gorgeous flowers and chocolates, or a thoughtfully planned day of beauty and pampering at her favorite spa. A new book by her favorite author would also be very well received.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
What Scorpio moms really want is a genuine bonding experience with you. But if that’s not possible right now, cater to her desires of introspection and reflection with a beautiful journal and pen, or a book of soul-stirring poetry by someone like Nikita Gill or Atticus.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
Sagittarius moms are pining away for their next great adventure. You might not be able to book her a vacation, but you could give her something to look forward to. Consider some fun travel guides, camping gear, or a beautiful new piece of luggage.
Capricorn (December 22-January 20)
Capricorn moms don’t like a fuss or anything flashy, but they do appreciate a quality, classic gift. Splurge on her with a beautiful new bag, a luxurious pillow and eye mask set, or some high-end skin care items or (understated) makeup.
Aquarius (January 21-February 20)
If at all possible, take this mama on a road trip. You don’t need a destination–just a long, meandering drive. If that’s out of the question, give her something quirky with a meaningful history, like a piece of statement jewelry from a local artisan or healing crystal grid set.
Pisces (February 21-March 20)
Handmade gifts will always be appreciated by this sensitive mom. Try making a scrapbook with photos, mementos, and old family recipes. Dreamy Pisces would also love meditation cushions or oracle cards, and her creative heart would love some new art supplies.
