Vintage Inspired Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

My mother has given me some pretty amazing gifts throughout the years.

And I’m not just talking about the tangible things.

She has given me her love, unconditionally. A safe and happy home. The encouragement and confidence to pursue my dreams. The belief that anything is possible. Kind words when I needed them (and reality checks when those were in order.) Support and nurturing. Advice — requested and unsolicited — but always from the heart. A sassy sense of humor. My love of home and creativity. Wisdom, praise and guidance as I journey through motherhood.

In other words, she has given me everything. All of who she is and all of who I am.

When I think about all my mom has given me throughout the years, she definitely deserves celebrating on Mother’s Day. And I’ll do that, with words of love, time together and a thoughtful gift.

I won’t tell you exactly what I’m getting my mom, because there’s a good chance she’s reading this. (She’s sneaky like that. When it comes to presents, she’s easy to buy for because I know her style and taste so well. But she’s also a very good guesser, or maybe it’s just that she’s a bit of a snoop.)

But I have curated a collection of vintage-style Mother’s Day gift ideas from World Market and Shutterfly, inspired by my mother who took me to yard sales as a kid and taught me to see the beauty in items with a past. (Because who doesn’t have a past?)

Here are my top picks (clockwise from top left) for gifts for moms who love vintage style:

1. Large Aqua Charlie Clock
2. Mint Rhinestone Estate Style Drop Earrings
3. Shadow Box Edison Lamp
4. Castelbel Lemon Blossom Airmail Bar Soap
