Mother’s Day Gift Guide to Make Her Feel Spoiled

May 3, 2022

Mother’s Day is such a special day for us. It’s the perfect day to feel spoiled, loved, appreciated and so blessed. I have told my kids that I would love to plant a vegetable garden with them. And they each get to pick out one fruit and one vegetable that they will help me grow. I am so excited the boys are old enough to understand how important it is to take care of a garden. They realize they can get food from it if they take care of it. So I am very excited for this Sunday. I just hope the weather cooperates with us.

Another tradition I love about Mother’s Day is our family photos. We get showered, dressed, color coordinate outfits and I get amazing pictures with my boys. I have trained John to take candid photos, not just posed photos, so he is getting better and better every year! Don’t get me wrong, I love the posed pictures, but I also love the candid snapshots, the bloopers, funny faces, tongues sticking out, sweet kisses on my cheek, hugs and everything in between.

I hope you all have something special planned for Mother’s Day. As for my mom, we usually pick out a really pretty bouquet of flowers and deliver them to her if we don’t have immediate plans with my parents, so we will see what the day brings and how long our gardening activity takes. But seeing my mom is one of the best things on Mother’s Day, especially now that I am a mom myself. The day just means so much more, and I love celebrating motherhood with my mom. My grandma has also been living with my parents for a couple years, so to get to celebrate my grandma/the boys’ great-grandma/”Gaga” is super important to us all.

Today, I have made a round up of my favorite Mother’s Day finds on Amazon. So if you like any of these ideas, you still have time to shop, because it’s only Tuesday! Any handmade items will probably take a little longer to receive, but for the most part, my picks are all Amazon Prime and 2 day shipping available.

You can also shop this gift guide and all my other favorites via my Amazon Storefront HERE.

When I pick gift ideas for these seasonal gift guides, I think of myself, my mom, my sister, my friends who are moms, and think about if they would like these gifts for themselves. If they are something I would buy for my own mom. If it’s something I would love to receive myself. These aren’t just random picks, I promise! A lot of thought and effort go into making these gift guides. I know you will love these gift ideas, and I hope you all get so spoiled this weekend by your husbands and kiddos! If you missed my post a few days back, I also hand picked my favorite gifts for Mother’s Day that are handmade and support small business on Etsy. You can see THAT post HERE.

Meet Jackie

Hello! I'm a wife, mom of 2 boys, coffee and wine lover who lives in the Nashville, TN area. After growing up in Chicago and moving to St. Louis for 6 years, we decided that Music City was our new home! I have a neurological illness, called CIDP, that has turned my life upside down, and I have created this blog to have a little spot on the internet to share with you my life as a busy mama who loves to shop, eat, drink & be merry! So grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, and enjoy your time with me here at One Top Knot Mama. Cheers, friend!

I hate it here. I hate that an ICU nurse, Alex P I hate it here. 

I hate that an ICU nurse, Alex Pretti, was murdered.
A man who saved lives.
Didn’t get saved.

I hate that Renèe Good was murdered.
Another woman gone.
Another family wrecked.
Another name we’re told not to sit with too long.

I hate how fast violence becomes background noise.
I hate the shrugs.
I hate the silence.
I hate how easy it is to keep scrolling.

I hate babies taken from their parents.
I hate sterile rooms filled with screaming.
I hate tiny hands reaching for people who aren’t allowed to stay.

I hate that kids are used as bait.
Walking home.
Backpacks on.
Targeted so their dad can be deported.

I hate that this is called policy.
I hate that this is called order.
I hate that terror has a clipboard.

I hate masked men and guns.
I hate unmarked cars.
I hate zip ties and pepper spray and no names and no badges.
I hate that people are being taken in daylight.
On sidewalks.
In front of neighbors.

I hate that people seeking asylum—doing everything LEGALLY—are being hunted, grabbed, disappeared.
I hate that cruelty is being rebranded as law.
I hate that empathy is mocked.
I hate that outrage is labeled dramatic.

And I hate that all of this is happening while I’m raising kids.

I’m making pancakes.
Flipping them.
Burning a few.
Pretending everything is normal.

I’m packing lunches.
Cutting sandwiches in half.
Checking homework.
Telling my kids the world is safe.

And I hate that part, too.
Because for so many families, it isn’t.

I don’t know how you hold both things at once.
The sweetness of childhood.
The absolute hell happening around us.

I don’t know how you explain this to kids.
I don’t know how you teach justice when injustice is this loud.
I don’t know how you promise safety when the proof says otherwise.

But I do know this:

I will raise kids who see other people as human.
I will say the names.
I will tell the truth.
I will not look away just because it’s uncomfortable.

And I will keep believing—
that love, practiced loudly,
and humanity, defended fiercely,
is how we survive this.
And how we change it.

Until then, I hate it here.

Five years ago today — January 6, 2021 — I was lay Five years ago today — January 6, 2021 — I was laying in bed with my two little boys, just 4 and 8 years old, and we watched something unfold on TV that I never imagined they’d see in their childhood.

I can still remember the way the room felt.
Heavy. Confusing. Quiet in a way that didn’t feel safe.

They kept asking me questions I didn’t know how to answer — questions no child should have to ask about their own country. And while I tried to be calm and reassuring, inside I felt scared… heartbroken… and honestly, a little shattered.

That day changed something in me as a mom.

It made me realize how fragile things can be.
How quickly “normal” can feel uncertain.
How much our kids absorb — even when we wish they wouldn’t.

Five years later, my boys are older — and so much more aware of the world around them. We’ve had countless conversations about kindness, respect, truth, and what it means to do the right thing when it’s hard.

And even though that day still stings when I think about it… I also carry something else alongside it:

Hope.

Hope in the helpers and the peacemakers.
Hope in raising boys who choose empathy over anger.
Hope in the quiet strength of ordinary people who believe in better.

I can’t erase what we saw.
But I can teach them how to respond to a world that isn’t always gentle — with compassion, courage, and integrity.

Here’s to raising kids who heal what’s broken instead of adding to the damage… who stand for good… and who know that the future is something we hold — and protect — together. 💛
