After putting together our list of Mothers Day gifts we decided there was one that stood above the rest as the perfect gift. Time. Whether you see your mother often or not nothing can beat time spent together. A dinner, shopping trip, or an afternoon at an attraction of some kind. Find something that you can do together and spend a little bit of time with the Mom that has done more for you than you'll ever know.
If time is not an option or you are looking for a little something to go with it scroll through our list of PRETTY PERFECT gift ideas. This is NOT a sponsored post so all gift ideas or either items that we own and love or items that we think would be a good unique fit for many of the Moms out there. We looked high and low for unique gift ideas so you don't have to. Enjoy the list and if you are a Mother yourself have a very Happy Mother's Day!
Pretty Perfect
Mom is timeless, classy, and looking for a thoughtful gift from you, her little darling. While it is an old standby flowers are still a good go to that are appreciated by many Moms. Give them alone or pair them with Molly Sims new book the Everyday Supermodel (read our review here) or the favorite tear jerker Love You Forever.

Mom is a fitness junkie? Or is in the middle of losing a few pounds.. (aren't we all.) Karena and Katrina's new book, 28 Days to Fit, Fierce, and Fabulous hits stores May 4th just in time for Mothers Day. While we have not had a chance to read it yet, we know it will be packed with fitness tips, trips, and expert know how for nearly every age of Mom.

Flavored, infused, fruity-licious or whatever you'd like to call it. Water flavored with fresh fruit is everywhere. While you can find variations of these fruity water bottles nearly everywhere Brookstone makes a durable version that allows for fruit to be placed in the bottom of the bottle. On sale right now for 2/$40 you can snag one for Mom and one for yourself.

Yoga lovers will appreciate the light and soft texture of Superlites Travel Mat. Even if Mom has a mat, give this one a try and maybe you'll be the lucky recipient of her cast off Mat. Plus it's pink, but it does come in a wide variety of other colors.
Pretty Please Best Accessories
American Eagle and Old Navy are fabulous stores to shop accessories. You can find in style, durable, pieces that won't cost you an arm and a leg. They'll just look like they did. American Eagle is currently having a sale on all accessories but one get one 50% off. Glasses, watches, jewelry galore. Take your pick, or again one for you and one for Mom. We each own and love these glasses and this watch. They go with EVERYTHING.

Protecting your face from the suns aging rays is suddenly fashionable, affordable, and stylish for all ages in Floppy Straw Sun Hat from Old Navy. Basic straw or patterns are available. Their light weight spring and summer scarves are a must have as well (we may, or may not, have both purchased one earlier this month) and are flying off the shelves.
Pretty Easy Tees
Graphic Tees are not just for boutiques anymore. From Target to Nordstrom Tees with sayings of every kind are popping up all over. If you Mom is a laid back lady with a sense of humor here are a few of our favorite new T-shirt shops. The pineapple shirt, available at Ivory Kate is a hand painted water color that has been turned into a T-shirt.
Boy Mom Designs features Tees, hats, and mugs in a variety of designs for both boy only moms, girl only moms, and moms with both. Their current sale is 65% off if you purchase two shirts or two items. Another to reason to love them? They donate part of their profit to charity.
Mama Said Tees is a relatively new shop that has popped up with Tees for Mom with cute sayings such as Mama Said, Because I said so, and our favorite Kind is the New Cool. Tees can be purchased for adults only or as a pair with a matching shirt for a kiddo. The Because I said so T for Mom goes perfect with one that says Why, why, why, all over it for little Jr.

Pretty Personalized
Gold bar necklaces are all the rage, so why not jump on the band wagon. These gold bar necklaces are from Made by Mary with Love, the coolest part is that you can personalize it with your child's initials, you and your hubbies initials, or simply the words mama. They are a little on the pricey side but we are paying for quality here. Not a necklace fan? Personalized Bracelets and rings can also be personalized with words or sayings of your choice.
Photos are always a good bet for Mothers Day. From online photo stores to your local Costco or Walmart most if not all offer photo gifts that can be customized with your favorite photos. These pillows from Shutterfly can be customized with photos or sayings and are 20% off through April 29th.
Pretty Practical Mama
For the hobby Mama we stumbled upon Uncommon Goods, a website with hundreds, if not thousands of gift ideas broken down into categories. From gardening, to cooking, to music, to Grandmas. The site has it all. It is a great place for unique gifts and to get a few ideas. They even have a section that breaks down prices, allowing you to shop in the under $25 section or go higher if you wish. Gardeners Tool Seat , Birdie Yarn Bowl, and My Life Story, are a few of the trending items on the site that could be a perfect fit for the Mom with a hobby.
Bake it Pretty Sweet
Most of us have sweet memories attached to the smells coming from Mom's Kitchen. Cookies after school, popcorn on movie night, or the special Holiday treat that you wait all year to taste. In our humble opinion baking themed gifts have to be done right or they don't come across as a thoughtful gift, but rather a boring tool to where she spends time every day. So stay away from appliances (unless she has dropped hints) and instead find a unique gift that is more about her and her love of baking, than simply baking. This Recipe Box gives a nod to times gone by when all of her favorite recipes were stored on the shelf rather than her phone. Give mom a chance to keep her favorites inside this new treasure box.
Cake stands let mom shine as she shows off her latest creation. While this one is gorgeous, you can find a wide variety of stands at TJMaxx, Target, and Bed Bath and Beyond.
