Our mothers deserve the best of everything, but unfortunately, we often fail to show them that. It’s time to change that. Mother’s Day is the perfect time to show her just how much you love her and appreciate everything she does for you. Perhaps with gifts. But instead of the usual mug or generic flower bouquet, why not surprise her with something she truly wants and can use? Here are some thoughtful and practical Mother’s Day gift ideas that your mom will definietly appreciate.
Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
This is the list of ideas that every type of mom will love. I assure you, you can’t go wrong with these!
1. A Spa or Wellness Gift Box — Because She Deserves a Break
Let’s face it: Pakistani moms rarely treat themselves. A thoughtfully curated spa box with essential oils, bath salts, soothing body butters and a calming candle is the perfect way to encourage her to slow down.
Choose natural, chemical-free products that feel luxurious and gentle on her skin.
Buy from:
- The Body Shop: Affordable gift boxes under 7,000 and 10,000 PKR.
- Spa Ceylon: Based off of Ayurvedic wellness; something moms tend to love a lot.
- Conatural: Natural and organic and specifically curated for Pakistani skin.
2. Customised Jewellery — Something She’ll Actually Wear
Nothing feels more personal than jewellry that is sentimental. A necklace engraved with her children’s initials, or a ring with her birthstone, turns a simple piece into a cherished memory. For this mother’s day gift, skip the flashy sets and go for elegant everyday wear that will make her feel special.
Buy from:
- Esfir Jewels: Subtle and modern designs that will look amazing on moms. Buy one for yourself too and twin it with your mom to make it even more special.
- Allure by MHT: Good mix of traditional and contemporary jewellery that is artificial but won’t look like it.
- Jewels by H&M: A pit stop for permanent and customised jewellery that mom will never take off.
3. A Designer Lawn Suit — Because She’ll Never Buy the Expensive One for Herself
Moms will admire those gorgeous lawn collections from Sana Safinaz or Asim Jofa, but they’ll never buy them for themselves because of how pricey they are. But sometimes it’s okay to ditch the budget and get something expensive and branded. If your mom won’t, maybe you can.
Mother’s Day is the perfect excuse to pamper her with a beautifully stitched, high-end lawn suit she can wear to brunch and kitty parties.
Buy from:
- Sana Safinaz: Elegant, festive and mom-friendly designs.
- Elan: For luxe and formal looks that will get our moms all the praise in Eid dawats.
- Zara Shahjahan: Suits that feel and look luxurious. The quality is so good that they will be wearable for years. Sounds like a good long term investment for our mothers.
- Limelight, Beechtree, Cross Stitch: Stylish, budget-friendly options given that you want to save yourself from the lecture of “money wastage.”
4. Premium Skincare — Because She Deserves the Good Stuff
If your mom still uses a basic cold cream and thinks that’s “good enough,” introduce her to nourishing serums, night creams, and sheet masks. Choose anti-aging, hydrating, or brightening formulas based on her skin needs.
Buy from:
- SkinFit: Probably one of the best platforms to buy high end skincare without the fear of getting scammed.
- Bagallery: The brand offers every skincare that is trending, local and international. Mothers tend to favour this one a lot (tried and tested).
- Allure Beauty: Bring sephora at home for your mom with allure and watch her brag about it later to her friends.
5. Quality Handbag — Hide Her Age-Old Ones from 2010
A durable, elegant handbag that goes with everything is one of the most appreciated gifts. Look for timeless pieces with functional compartments and a bit of flair (metal detailing, structured shape) as moms seem to be attracted to those little things.
Buy from:
- Insignia: Practical and classy for our mothers’ age group.
- Astore: Probably the most affordable handbags that look like flagships.
- Elixir: The most premium quality exported hand bags that will look amazing in professional and formal events.
6. A Kitchen Item — Mother’s and their Love for Crockery
If she enjoys cooking, an air fryer can help her make healthier meals. Or you can get her an artistic dinner set that she will surely keep very close to her heart and will think of you every time she uses it.
Buy from:
- Habitt: A range of advanced gadgets that are designed to enhance cooking skills and efficiency.
- Naheed: Good quality crockery that will help your mother for a long time.
- Daraz: Has a variety of products that are otherwise hard to find.
7. A Book or Magazine Subscription — Quiet Time for Her Soul
For moms who love to read (or always say they want to start again), gift a bestselling novel, a poetry book, or even a local magazine. Bonus points if you pair it with a reading lamp or a comfy throw.

- Synergyzer Magazine: Magazine subscription that will make her ideological mind active again. And it’s value for money too.

8. A Class or Experience — Because Gifts Don’t Always Have to be Things
Sign her up for something she’s always wanted to try — like painting, pottery, yoga, or baking. It’s a refreshing change from physical gifts, and you could even take the class together.
Where to book:
- Skillshare: Tons of online creative classes available in multiple skills and activities.
- TDF Ghar Karachi: Cultural and creative workshops available.
- ZVMG Rangoonwala: Offer all types of courses of multiple time duration. Their cooking courses are quite popular and once your mom goes here, she will eventually find her company too.
9. Low-Maintenance Indoor Plants — Because Green is Calming
Indoor plants like snake plants or pothos clean the air and look beautiful. Plus, they’re easy to care for, even for moms who aren’t plant experts. Add a cute ceramic pot for a stylish touch to your mother’s day gift.
Buy from:
- PlantPK: Delivers nationwide
- Local nurseries via OLX: You can get bigger plants for much cheaper.
10. A Personalised Gift — Sentimental, but Stylish
Think custom photo cushions, wall art with a family quote, a calendar with everyone’s birthdays marked, or a frame with a sweet message. It’s not about how much it costs, but how much thought you put into it.
Buy from:
- The Warehouse: Quirky, fun custom prints
- PrintShrint: Professional-quality custom prints
Pair any of these gifts with a handwritten note or a day off from chores and you’ll make these Mother’s Day gifts truly memorable. So, don’t wait for the last moment, start preparing for for your mother’s special day.
