Ultimate Mother’s Day Gift Guide Inspired By TV Moms

By Emyli Gudmundson, originally posted on Spylight

April is almost over and Mother’s Day is right around the corner! May 10th, to be exact, and if you’re anything like me, you may have forgotten about that until right now.

But moms are the best! Not only did they physically give birth to you, but they raised you! They put up with your terrible twos, your awkward middle school years, and your angst-filled teenage self. They deserve a round of applause, a medal, and at least a million more things we’ll never be able to repay.

A lot of people have different relationships with their moms and that’s great! Celebrating Mother’s Day is a chance to celebrate the unique and wonderful relations you and she have. If you’re struggling for gift ideas, look no further than your favorite TV moms.

Leslie Knope – “Parks and Recreation“

If your mom is anything like Leslie, she will meticulously document every stage of your lives with adorable scrapbooks for each milestone. Check out this My life story journal  and Customizable Phone Case so she can broadcast her love of her family everywhere she goes.

Claire Dunphy and Gloria Pritchett – “Modern Family“

These two busy moms need time to relax after dealing with their crazy family. Let your mom have a relaxing evening for herself with this tea from around the world gift set  and Spa Kit.

Lorelai Gilmore – “Gilmore Girls“

For the fashionable mom on the go, these fruit infusing Water Bottles are perfect to stay healthy and hydrated. When she’s at home, this turquoise Pedestal Jewelry Stand is great for displaying all of her favorite jewelry. And if your mom truly is like Lorelai, she’ll definitely need this subscription to monthly coffee delivered right to her door.

Daenerys Targaryen – “Game Of Thrones“

The mother of dragons is anything but traditional. For a mom with a unique vibe, help her stand out even more with this Cerro Statement Necklace  and these smoke-designed Wine Glasses.

Lady Grantham – “Downton Abbey“

Help your mom relax in sophisticated style with this Deluxe Aromatherapy Set and Zen Buddha Board. We all know coloring is great for relaxing, but for something a little different, these Buddha boards just require water to create beautiful pictures.

Martha Rogers – “Castle“

For the mom with the flair for the arts, these Literary Scarves are perfect. Especially appropriate for Martha given her son’s occupation, but equally delightful for any mother who enjoys a good book. And for her reading comfort, an Organic Cotton Robe. Also, check out these subscription beauty boxes for a creative and personalized gift she’ll keep getting every month.

Joyce Summers – “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” 

Joyce Summers loves an interesting piece of art, especially one she can wear at all times and this Trinity Wooden Cuff is beautiful. Also, there’s nothing Joyce loves more than helping those around her, so help her out with this Wakawaka Power charger—it uses solar power and when you buy one, the company will give one to a region where electricity is not readily available.

Tami Taylor – “Friday Night Lights“

For the sporty and athletic mom, consider a Fitbit to help her with her fitness goals, or for the former athlete these custom Stadium Art pieces are a sophisticated way to commemorate her time playing the sport she loved. She may also love a subscription to Fabletics so she can look and feel great at all times!

Betty Draper – “Mad Men” 

For the mom who loves to cook, a mint green KitchenAid mixer (or any pieces of the KitchenAid line) is a practical and beautiful addition to anyone’s kitchen. If she needs some recipe assistance, the utensil holder that doubles as an iPad holder is just what she needs.
