►Mother's Day 2023 gift guide: 60 best Mother's Day gift ideas any mom will love
1. For the plant lover: A plant from The Sill
The Sill is a popular plant delivery service that sells plants, flowers, succulents, and more. We tried The Sill and loved it—many of our editors describe it as their go-to plant-buying service. If mom loves caring for indoor plants, browse through The Sill’s expansive collection of plants to find her next best friend. If you’re looking for inspiration, we recommend the Pink Anthurium, the Large Snake Laurentii or the Large ZZ Plant.
2. For the one with a vegetable garden: Petite Meyer Lemon Tree
If mom loves growing her own food, she’ll enjoy receiving this lemon tree, which produces actual lemons she can cook with. FTD says the tree arrives as a one-year-old, so it won’t be producing any fruit just yet—but in just a few months, she’ll have her own baby lemons to call her own.
3. For the hummingbird lover: Hanging Basket Hummingbird Feeder
If mom loves watching hummingbirds, get her this gorgeous hanging basket, which is part plant, part feeder. It features three hand-blown glass feeders that sit next to a live plant. It makes a gorgeous, colorful gift for moms who love sitting outside and watching the birds. Reviewers give it 4.8 stars and note that it’s well worth the cost.
4. For the succulent lover: A succulent heart kit
This adorable heart-shaped succulent planter is perfect for the mom who loves displaying her plants indoors. It comes with six colorful succulents she can arrange to her heart's content and display on the coffee table.
5. For the one with an outdoor garden: Spotted Wellies Garden Ducks
If she’s got a lush outdoor garden, she’s probably got quite a few garden ornaments that help breathe life into the area. Help Mom further outfit her outdoor paradise with this adorable trio of ducks wearing spotted wellies. These ducks come highly rated among Uncommon Good shoppers and are made from reclaimed teak wood.
6. For the one who loves art: A framed canvas print
Mom loves showing off her green thumb outdoors, but help her show off her love of plants indoors with this gorgeous canvas print from Shutterfly. You can purchase this piece of art in four sizes and choose from seven different frame colors. The picture itself features an array of green plants sure to make any garden-loving mom happy.
7. For the one who loves gardening: An 8-piece gardening kit
There’s no such thing as too many gardening tools, especially if she’s spending most of her waking hours in the dirt. This 8-piece kit from Amazon features a set of gloves, two spades, a tote, a mister bottle, a weeder, a mini rake, and a hand digger. More than 5,000 Amazon reviewers give it 4.5 stars, noting that the tote in particular is roomy and features space for all kinds of additional tools and seeds.
