A curated collection of heartfelt, Mediterranean-inspired Mother’s Day gift ideas! From cozy breakfast treats and elegant kitchen essentials to fragrant floral waters for cocktail hour, there’s something special for every kind of mom. These thoughtful picks are all about nourishing her spirit, one beautiful detail at a time.
With Mother’s Day coming up I’ve been thinking with gratitude about the amazing women who have shaped me—my mother, mother-in-law, grandmothers, the chosen mamas who make my life better and, of course, my daughters! Motherhood is such a powerful, beautiful journey, and I love any chance to celebrate it.
I also know firsthand how meaningful a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift can be! I think choosing the perfect Mother’s Day treat depends on the mom you’re buying it for, but you can’t go wrong with something simple and just a bit indulgent.
I’ve put together a list of my favorite Mother’s Day gift ideas for this season. These are things I personally use and love, and they’re the perfect way to say thank you to the moms and mother figures who have raised us, cheered us on, and nurtured us.

For the Sunshine-Seeker: Turkish Towels
Just ahead of beach, pool, and picnic season, upgrade your mom’s tote bag with beautiful Turkish towels. These woven towels are soft, lightweight, absorbent, and oh-so-pretty. I love the subtle designs—they look like they belong on the Mediterranean seaside, and they’re wonderful because sand doesn’t stick to them and they dry quickly!
For the Tapas Queen: The Mediterranean Dish Glass Pitcher + Tumblers
I designed these beautiful fluted glasses and pitcher in partnership with Anthropologie, and I think together they make a perfect gift set for moms who love setting a beautiful table. Light green glass—inspired by the Mediterranean Sea—is perfect for White Wine Sangria with a springtime spread of small bites. For a non-alcoholic option, try our rose water-infused twist on Strawberry Lemonade!
For Moms Who Love to Sleep In: Sweet Mornings Breakfast Bundle
There’s something deeply loving about the tradition of serving moms breakfast in bed on Mother’s Day—and this trio of Mediterranean treats makes it feel extra special. Start with her favorite coffee (or maybe even a spiked version) and dress up pancakes, waffles, or crusty bread with generous spoonfuls of velvety dark chocolate tahini, fragrant Greek orange jam, or a golden drizzle of Italian citrus blossom honey. We designed this set as a starter kit for a slow, joyful morning that says, “We love you. Now, please relax and enjoy!”
For the Bubbly Personality: Aarke Sparkling Water Maker
If your mom loves her bubbly water, upgrade her hydration game with this sleek, countertop-friendly carbonator. No cords, no fuss—just pure, sparkling refreshment!
For the Party Queen: The Mediterranean Dish Chiseled Stoneware Platter
For the mom who loves to host, a beautiful ceramic serving dish goes a long way. Whether she’s serving mezze, crudite, or a colorful barley salad, this platter brings beautiful color and texture to the table.
For the Mom with a Great Smile: Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
This little pink jar of shea butter-based lip mask is a beauty staple of mine. It leaves your lips baby-soft and it smells like fresh berries. It’s the kind of small luxury that a mom wouldn’t necessarily buy for herself—but it’s a sweet, simple way for her to upgrade her beauty routine.
For the Home Cook: Staub Cast Iron Mini Cocottes
An upgrade from basic ramekins, these adorable cocottes are perfect for individual servings of shakshuka, baked eggs, soups, or desserts like Crema Catalana. The quality is unmatched and they look beautiful right on the table!
For the Mom who Deserves a Break: Mediterranean Moments Tea & Honey
Need a gift that’s easy, simple, and sweet? Herbal tea is one of my favorite things to sip in the afternoons or whenever I need to take a minute of downtime. I love to pair it with Greek honey—it’s rich, woodsy, and full of character because it’s made from the nectar of wild thyme and other plants in the mountainous countryside of Crete. It’s also delicious drizzled over Baked Feta! Pair this tea and honey gift set with a batch of Date Cookies with Pistachios for a sweet treat!
For the Cookbook Collector: The Mediterranean Dish: Simply Dinner
Of course, I couldn’t make a list of Mother’s Day gift ideas without including one of my cookbooks. My latest book is filled with vibrant, wholesome recipes inspired by my Egyptian heritage and years of Mediterranean cooking. From busy weeknight meals to special-occasion spreads, every dish is made with simple ingredients and joyful, nourishing flavors. It’s perfect for any mom who loves to read, to cook, and to eat well.
For the Spa Lover: Herbivore Botanicals Coconut Milk Bath Soak
A spa day in a jar! This luxurious coconut soak turns any bath into a fragrant, moisturizing escape. It’s my go-to when I need 20 minutes of peace. Gift it on its own or bundle it up with a gift certificate to a spa service of your mom’s choice.
For Mom to Put Her Feet Up: Lazy Daze Hammock
Is there anything more idyllic than a lazy afternoon with a good book and a glass of iced tea? This beautiful hammock is the ultimate gift for the mom who gives everything to everyone and deserves a moment to herself. Made with fade-proof fabric, it’s weather-resistant, soft, and stylish—ideal for napping in the garden or lounging in the shade.
For Grandmas and Moms Who Live Far Away: Skylight Digital Picture Frame
Need Mother’s Day gift ideas for a mom who lives in another state or even country? I love this digital picture frame for a daily dose of connection and love! This frame can be displayed vertically or horizontally, and it makes it easy to share photos with loved ones in real-time—from anywhere in the world. All you do is email a photo to the frame’s address, and it appears instantly; no tech headaches, no fuss.
For the Eco-Conscious Mom : The Market Tote
If your mom is first in line at her weekly farmers market, our sturdy Market Tote would make a great gift to upgrade her next shopping trip. It has multiple pockets ideal for securing a long loaf of bread, a bottle of vinegar, olive oil, or wine, and the inside is large enough to carry fresh produce. Fill it with some of her favorite ingredients, a bouquet of fresh flowers, and a sweet card!
For the Cocktail-Hour Queen: The Mediterranean Dish Glasses
If your mom is the type who puts on her favorite playlist and starts muddling fresh mint by 5 o’clock—this one’s for her! Gift her a set of beautiful gold-embellished glasses and makings for a citrusy Eternal Sunshine Cocktail. Made with gin, elderflower, orange blossom water, and lime, this floral twist on a G&T is a favorite in our house.
For the Adventure Mom: A Travel Journal
Is your mom heading to Spain or another adventure this summer? This beautifully designed travel journal is a gorgeous space for her to record memories, jot down highlights, and reflect, transforming every trip—big or small—into a story she can look back on for years. And if the mom in your life is more of a homebody, this woman-owned brand also has lovely baby journals, reading journals, and other beautifully bound books to inspire and record the things that bring beauty and meaning to our lives.
