Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for Grandma

Mother’s Day is our busiest flower holiday of the year! We spend months in advance dreaming up ways to help you share love through the power of flowers, especially for the matriarchs who keep the family magic alive. 

Whether they’re your “Nana,” “Gigi,” or “Abuela,” finding the perfect Mother’s Day gift ideas for grandma is all about celebrating their wild, courageous heart. From pampering gifts to experiences you can share together now that you’re both grown, or ways you can share gifts from your children, we’ve curated a guide to make them feel like the center of attention.

The Ultimate Pamper and Relaxation Session at Home

If there’s anyone who deserves a restful home spa day, it’s Grandma. We stick by our belief that it’s important to take care of petals and people. 

Bath & Body Bliss: Gift them a moment of relaxation with our Native Poppy Body Cream in signature scents like orange bloom and white birch.

Self-Care Staples: Pair a luxurious rose body oil with our soothing bath bombs and foot scrubs for a wind-down and let the scents and sensation relax their body. This is also a fun activity for the two of you, or as a family get together with them and a few generations.

The Bundle of Their Dreams: Set them up with the Calm Mom Gift Box + Blooms ! We put together really special gift and flower bundles that they will absolutely love. It’s one of our favorite Mother’s Day gift ideas for grandma because it combines fresh blooms with the pampering they love.

A Breath of Fresh Air, Flowers Bring Calm to Grandma’s Space: A fresh vase of flowers is the perfect way to help your Grandma feel at ease. For Mother’s Day, we love our Peony Wrap, which can be paired with a variety of vases in our shop. We also highly recommended the ‘Got it For My Mama arrangement’, which has a vibrant mix of mums, ranunculus, larkspur, stock, and lisanthus. This is perfect on a bedside table, kitchen island, or coffee table.

Gifts to Experience with Grandparents and Young Grandchildren 

Grandma’s house is where the best memories are made! It’s common to find gifts in a spare room, dedicated for new grandbabies and toddlers alike. These gifts are designed to be played with, read, and grown together, creating a bridge between generations.

Storytime Magic: Our curated selection of board books are pieces of art that kids and grandkids will love to open together every visit. Our favorites in our shop right now are When Spring Comes by Ekaterina Trukhan, and our board books by The Monarch and The Honeybee by Kristen Hall.

Nature Explorers and Grandma's Little Gardener: Get their hands a little dirty with our Curious Critters Kit. It’s a fun, interactive activity that lets Grandma share their love of nature with the great-grandkids. Plus, we have a Flower Press DIY Kit that is kid user friendly and is an exciting activity to engage in together.

Planting Memories: Our Pollinator Planting Pops are a sweet, easy way to start a mini garden together. It’s the one of the most perfect Mother’s Day gift ideas for grandma, and is a perfect way for grandma to think of you while they are out in their yard.

Flower Experiences with Workshops and eCourses

Want to give grandma the gift of making memories? We’ve seen so many sweet Grand-Poppies and their grown kids in our workshops, and there is nothing better than a day to bond with one another while surrounded by flowers.

In-Person Flower Workshops: Sign up together for one of our San Diego workshops. From painting classes to locally-grown flower arranging and fabric floral impressions and hand-tied flower arranging, it’s a hands-on way for you and Grandma to create a little magic side-by-side.

Want to snag a spot for a workshop in the month of April or May? Our next Hand-Tied Flower Arranging and Floral Sourdough Scoring workshop is the perfect class for two or more leading up to Mother’s Day.

Set up a Facetime Call and Learn Floral Design Anywhere, Anytime: If grammy is not local to sunny San Diego, our floral eCourses let them dive into the art of flower arranging from the comfort of their own kitchen or dining table. It’s a creative, thoughtful addition to your Mother’s Day list. Plus, you can check out our student reviews to fill you in how you can make your online experience that much more meaningful.

We hope these Mother’s Day gift ideas for grandma bring an extra touch of joy to your celebrations. If you are local, stop by our South Park or Solana Beach shops in San Diego to see these artisan made gifts in person, or shop our full Mother’s Day Menu online to ship a little bit of flower magic nationwide.
