No matter who "Mom" is to you — whether they gave birth to you, raised you, or adopted you as their own — they all deserve a little extra love.

In order to get the gift ideas going, we asked you what makes a great gift or experience for moms in Nashville. Our guide with 25 local Mother’s Day gift ideas showcases your suggestions + where you can find them around the 615. ❤️

Don’t break a sweat — save that for Mom

Know a mom who loves their daily workout? Whether the activity of choice is hitting the gym, taking a walk, or finding inner zen at a Fahrenheit Yoga hot yoga class, give them the gift of recovery with an infrared sauna session from Pure Sweat Sauna Studio, a deep tissue massage from La Bella e Famosa, or a Mother’s Day gift set collaboration from Skin Pharm and Thistle Farms.

Since the pets can’t spoil Mom

Sometimes the responsibility of being a parent falls to those who are the caretakers of a four-legged friend. Spoil their pet by picking up a new toy or treat (we see those locally-made blueberry mini bites 👀) at Baxter Bailey & Company. Give Mom a day off from parent duties by getting their pet a day at Nashville Pet Spa. We’ll throw you a bone-us: both pet + parent are walking away winners at the Nashville Sounds’ Tail Waggin’ Tuesday.

We’re taking you out, Mom

Don’t want to sit at home with Mom? Take them out to The Ryman to see a performance by Billy Strings. Spend your afternoon watching the stars at an Adventure Science Center Dark Universe show or take them on a shopping spree in Hillsboro Village (Editor Skylar has her eyes set on a few things from Posh Boutique currently). And for the mom who loves to wine + dine out on the town, plan a Mother’s Day brunch outing with a nice meal at the JW Marriott.

Kick back and relax, we’ve got Mom covered

Okay, maybe you just want to lounge around at home with Mom. Spice up their space with a funky vase + natural pampas bundle from The Golden Slipper, or a candle from nellamoon. You could also gift them some helping hands by sending Blue Sky Maids — a local deep clean home service — to come in and help pick up the place.

If Mom's sweet + likes them too

Someone as sweet as Mom deserves their dessert done right. Dozen Bakery serves up delicious baked goods + is currently offering these Mother’s Day-themed brown sugar shortcakes. If chocolate is their go-to treat, pick up their favorite at Poppy & Peep.

Drinks on us, Mom

Here’s a toast to all the Music City mother figures out there. Take them out to grab a spritz at Public House Bar or tour Big Machine Distillery. If Mom prefers to enjoy their spirits at home, treat them to a bottle of Insolito reposado from Maryland Farms Wine and Spirits.

“You don’t have to get me anything this year.”

If the mother figure in your life has never been one for extravagant gifts or celebrations, show them you’re thinking about them by picking up a bouquet of their favorite flowers at Geny’s Flowers. A hand-crafted card from Gift Horse would be a great opportunity to express how you feel about their impact in your life. Sometimes a thoughtful word (or newsletter) can be the greatest gift to someone, in our humble opinion.

Mom reps Nashville best

Know a mom who represents the 615 unlike any other? Give them the ultimate gift of hometown pride with a branded shirt or hat from the 6AM Shop so they can strut their stuff around town repping their city. How does Mom take their coffee or tea in the morning? Maybe black, maybe with a dash of cream, but definitely in a Nashville branded ceramic mug.

If Mom’s imaginary best friend is Joanna Gaines

Gift Mom a sparkling clean house by booking a local, professional cleaning service (with great reviews) on Thumbtack. And for the mom whose garden is their pride and joy, have flowering trees, shrubs + hydrangeas delivered right to their door. Or if Mom just wants to pretend HGTV came to visit, book a getaway in a beautiful vacation house — bonus points if it's to come visit you right here in Nashville. We have all the heart eyes for this home.
