Buying for Mom can sometimes be a tough challenge. Sometimes, they insist they don’t need anything, it seems like they have everything, or sometimes, you simply run out of ideas; I know I have before! So, what about going the astrology route? What about a gift for mom that connects to her zodiac sign but is tailored to fit her unique personality? This can add a different twist to the kind of jewelry, subscription box, weekend getaway, or new household item mom gets! So, let’s dive into some unique astrology-based ideas for mom this Mother’s Day!
Mother’s Day Ideas Based on Their Zodiac Sign
Aries
March 21st through April 19th
Those born under Aries tend to be very driven, competitive, and active, so when deciding what to get the Aries mom in your life, consider something that firsts that theme for Mother’s Day! This could be active wellness gifts or subscriptions. You could also get them an exercise class or workshop that maybe they’ve been talking about wanting to do! If you’re thinking of jewelry for an Aries, it’s a good idea to go bold!
Taurus
April 20th through May 20th
As a Taurus, the finer things in life mean a lot to them. So, for their special day, consider starting with an elegant brunch spot where moms can sip mimosas, followed by a spa day. This can be something just for her or something that you can do together! Taurus, being an earth sign, is very in tune with the five senses; therefore, think about what gift could cover those. You could create or order a self-care kit with something soft to feel, good to smell, yummy to taste, beautiful to look at, and soothing sounds.
Gemini
May 21st through June 20th
For a Gemini mom, this Mother’s Day, consider what gifts might help support their career goals and ambitions! Maybe this means buying them a new fancy work bag that would also speak to her amazing, unique sense of style. If they love music, maybe concert tickets or tickets to a play might help them unwind and relax because they can be so career-focused.
Cancer
June 21st through July 22nd
Moms born under the sign of Cancer commonly love personal homebody-type gifts! These could include a scrapbook put together with their favorite photos of people or a trip. They would also love a comforting gift that could be personalized, such as a cozy blanket with family pictures on it! What better Mother’s Day gift than something connected to family?
Leo
July 23rd through August 22nd
Leo’s mom enjoys being pampered, so it seems logical to go straight to a spa day! You could create an at-home spa day for her or go with her and spend the day being pampered together! Another idea for the Leo mom in your life could be a piece of sentimental jewelry or a statement piece of clothing to add something unique to her look!
Virgo
August 23rd through September 22nd
Virgo is practical and appreciates high-value items. So, for that Virgo mom in your life, think about how your gift will enhance their life for more than just one day. This could be getting them a new high-end kitchen item they’ve had their eye on or things to help them have the most organized space possible.
Libra
September 23rd through October 22nd
Libras appreciate beauty, so consider doing something artistic for your Libra mom! This could involve a new beautiful piece of art for them to add to their home or a day out at an art museum. You could also touch on their likeness to finer things this Mother’s Day and get them a wine club subscription or an aromatherapy diffuser to help them unwind!
Scorpio
October 23rd through November 21st
Mystery is often connected to Scorpios, so this Mother’s Day, you could surprise Mom with a mystical statement piece of jewelry that will stand out, such as one with gemstones! If your mom is a reader, you could also get her new thriller novels or audiobook subscriptions!
Sagittarius
November 22nd through December 21st
For your Sagittarius mom, think about how you can up her adventure game this Mother’s Day! This could include new airplanes or airport accessories. There may be something that could make her travel days easier, but she hasn’t wanted to splurge on it. You could also book a weekend getaway for her, as this gives her an adventure she didn’t have to plan or pay for!
Capricorn
December 22nd through January 19th
Capricorns have a hard time letting themselves take a break, so this Mother’s Day, think about how you can help mom with that. You could put together or buy a spa package for her with unique items she can use at home, like a foot bath, candle bundles, and bath bombs! This will give her everything she needs to take time for herself, and she might not even have to leave the house to do it!
Aquarius
January 20th through February 18th
Aquarians don’t fit a traditional mold, so when thinking of something for them for Mother’s Day, think original. Maybe they’d love their own private birth chart reading or something astrology-related. Innovative tech accessories will also be a big hit if they’re into tech, as it will speak to her forward-thinking nature.
Pisces
February 19th through March 20th.
When thinking of a gift for the Pisces Mom, consider artistic expressions such as DIY craft kits or a cooking class, depending on how you notice your mom likes to express themselves! You might also consider an app subscription, such as for yoga or meditation! If you think jewelry is the way for mom, consider something personalized and unique that she’ll never forget that came from you this Mother’s Day!
Final Thoughts
When it comes to shopping for mom, it could either be very easy or pretty tough. I know with my mom, if it’s not practical, she doesn’t want it. She’ll appreciate and thank you repeatedly, but the necklace we got her a few years ago is still in the box. She’s never worn it, but the blanket we got her for the couch when she gets chilly and is watching TV is used daily, and she cannot get enough of it!
Remember that every mom is different! You and a friend could both have moms with the same sign, but it doesn’t mean that getting them the same gift is a good idea! You have to tailor your gifts to fit your mom, and who knows your mom better than you? You know whether your Aquarius mom would prefer a birth chart reading or the latest technology. You know whether your mom would like a wine club or a fun coffee subscription. This is the year to think outside the box for mom! Let the stars be your guide to help her feel extra special this Mother’s Day!
