No matter where you are in the world, Mother’s Day 2020 may need to be celebrated differently than in years past.
Although we may not be able to visit family in person, the good news is that we can still find ways to connect with everyone (including Mom). Video calls are possible with most smartphones, social media can update large groups all at once, and we can still send surprises through the mail / delivery.
The list of beauty gift ideas below can all be sent with a gift note via mail (or other delivery).
As this year’s shipping times may take longer than usual, make your selections early to ensure that Mom’s gift arrives in time for Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 10, 2020.

Two gifts for your mum sounds twice as nice! Great idea!!
There are some great ideas here! Thanks for laying them out so clearly. I’m very much looking at Winc, not so much for my mom because she doesn’t drink, but for myself. There aren’t any rules as to who you can buy gifts for on Mother’s Day, right?
The white tea set is a better gift for my dear mother and I’ll keep your site in mind for that.
Thanks!
Btw You’ve got a typo in Winc – spelled subscription incorrectly
Hi Murray, I’m not going to lie, I’m eyeing that Winc subscription for our own house as well. Ya know, for science. And research… 😉
Thanks for the heads up on the typo — I found it and I’ll get that fixed right away!
Thanks for a reminder. There is so much going on around us that I didn’t realise, until now, that Mother’s day was so close. I am always glad for suggestions and I see you have on your list a number of things that would be valuable to my mom. I am checking out that leopard skin cosmetic bag, the towels, the mirror and the body scrub. I am sure she would be glad for any set of these. Thanks for the suggestions
Hi JJ, Those are some great choices for a sweet Mother’s Day gift set!
Hello there! These products are super beautiful. Thank you very much for sharing this with me, my mom’s birthday is in weeks and I think this will be perfect for a gift after the whole party.
I will place an order as soon as possible so I can receive it on time. Thanks for sharing this with me, it’s helpful!
Awesome! I’m very happy to hear this served as help for finding a great beauty-themed Mother’s Day gift for 2020!!
Thanks for these great ideas. With Mother’s Day right around the corner, I was wondering what I should get especially with everything going on right now.
I like this method because I don’t have to go out and physically do anything. I really liked the mirror and dyson dryer.
Which ones would you say are your favorite and why?
Hi Michael, I do think the Dyson supersonic hairdryer gift has the most “wow” factor. It’s an upgrade to a beauty tool that she probably already uses everyday anyway! The smart technology, ergonomic design, and magnetic attachments are going to make the chore of hair styling feel like a day at the spa!
Click here to see the Mother’s Day gift edition Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer gift set (available for a limited time).
Thanks for all the ideas for what to give my mom for Mother’s Day! Specially now that I cannot be near her due to the quarantine restrictions, I think these types of gift are easy to choose from and to send by mail.
I had no idea what to give her, but after reading your list, I think she would love to get a new hairdryer, as her current one is broken! Do you know if we can use it in other countries (voltage)?
Hi Fernanda, This Amazon link for the particular model above is for the USA-ready version of the Dyson supersonic hair dryer. You may have better luck with international versions by purchasing directly on the dyson.com website.
A mother is far most the previous gift I ever received from creation, ypu may not know it but frankly speaking a mother’s love for his kids can never be compared to another and the least we could do as a child is to reciprocate the love by showingher some love especially on mother’s day…As we approach the mother’s day celebration why not get your mom that gift to show her some she…trust me she needs it
It’s true that moms do quite a bit for us and have earned every bit of pampering that they get on Mother’s Day!
Hello, Thank you soo very much for your review on the best gifts for Mother’s day 2020. Personally I love giving outstanding gifts in times lime this to my mother and also to friends who are mothers, one of the best gifts I I would like to give to many is that hair drier that has so many technologies in one. Thanks
Hi Joy, The Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer is certainly a lovely gift that is both beautiful AND even more functional than it’s competitors!! Nice choice!
