Mother's Day wishlist
Mom collects a few wishes and sends one link to the family — or the family builds a list of ideas for her. Both ways, with ideas by budget.

- Sign in with Google or Apple
In short. Mom creates a “Mother's Day” list in GIFTbase with 6–10 wishes at different prices and shares the link with the family two weeks ahead. Everyone opens it in a browser without an account and reserves gifts, so nothing gets doubled. To keep it a surprise from mom, grown-up kids can make a collaborative list of ideas for her and agree who buys what.
No app needed
Your wishlist, right here in your browser
Make your list on this website: sign in with Google or Apple and start adding wishes. It's the same account as the GIFTbase app, so you can pick up on your phone anytime.
- Paste a link from Amazon, Target or any store, and the photo and price fill in on their own
- Send friends one link, and the list opens without signing up
- Friends reserve gifts, and you won't know who picked what
Why a Mother's Day list works
Gifts she'll actually use
Everyone picks from what mom picked, so the gifts last well past the holiday.
One link for the whole family
Partner, kids and grandkids see what's reserved and give different things.
Something for every age
Small treats for younger kids' budgets, bigger wishes for grown-up kids to split.
A reminder before the day
Mother's Day is in the GIFTbase calendar, so the reminder arrives while shipping still makes it.
Where to find Mother's Day gifts for the list
Mother's Day lists lean toward self-care, jewelry, home and garden. A link from Etsy, Target or Amazon becomes a card with the photo and price.
Etsy
Amazon
Target
Uniqlo
Apple
A spa day, a class or a brunch reservation go on the list as a link.
Two ways to do a Mother's Day wishlist
Pick the one that fits your family.
Mom shares her list
She adds 6–10 wishes in GIFTbase and sends one link to the family chat two weeks ahead. Everyone reserves, nobody doubles up.
The family builds a list for mom
Grown-up kids create a collaborative list of gift ideas, invite siblings as co-authors and agree who's buying what.
Add the date
Mother's Day goes into the GIFTbase calendar, and the reminder keeps everyone from shopping on Saturday night.
How every generation can give from mom's list
Little kids
A parent helps them pick a small item from the list and make a card to go with it.
Teens
Something under $25 from the list plus a homemade breakfast.
Grown-up kids
Go in together on the big wish, or book an experience you share with mom.
Grandkids
Drawings, a photo book of the year, or a small wish from the list with a handwritten note.
Mother's Day wishlist ideas
Things that make everyday life nicer, plus time just for her.
Under $25
A hand cream with a good formula, a candle, a book, a silk scrunchie, a floral tea.
Under $50
Home fragrance, pajamas, a neck massager, a skincare set, a gift card to a favorite store.
Under $100
A piece of jewelry, a hair styler, an e-reader, a gardening set, a family brunch.
Time for herself
A spa day, a massage, a pottery class, a yoga pass, concert tickets.
Gift finder
Shopping for your own mom?
The finder suggests gifts for mom, grandma or a mother-in-law
Describe her in the GIFTbase finder: age, what she loves, how she spends her weekends, your budget. It builds 10 ideas with prices and links to stores in her city.
If she already has a wishlist, start there: choosing from a list is always easier.

Mother's Day wishlist questions
Six to ten wishes at three budgets: small treats under $25, gifts under $50 and one or two bigger wishes. Self-care, home fragrance, jewelry and time for yourself, like a spa day or a class, work well.
