Mother’s Day 2021 is coming up in just a few weeks (Sunday, May 9th). This is a big gift-giving holiday, and many people will be in buying mode.

Before I forget – if you’d like to access a free training that will help you optimize for Mother’s Day sales and show you:

With that out of the way — my team also  looked on Etsy to scout out less conventional searches about Mother’s Day gift ideas. I thought these types of searches might be non-competitive niches that could have big sales potential.

I don’t recommend creating Mother’s Day-specific designs, however (e.g. designs that say “Happy Mother’s Day”), as these designs have a limited shelf-life. Rather, I suggest creating more general designs pertaining to these niches, which are sellable year-round.

Below, you’ll find all of my Etsy search results along with several phrases you can use as inspiration for your design ideas.

NOTE: These are phrases I found on other people’s Etsy products so please do not copy any of these phrases directly. Always double-check your phrases and designs for legal trademark and copyright. These are meant to be used only as inspiration.

That said, let’s take a look at these less conventional Mother’s Day design ideas…

“Surrogate mom gift”

These are designs you could make intended as gifts either for surrogate moms themselves or for the moms who’ll raise the babies once they’re born.

I make families. What’s your superpower?
Proud surrogate mom
Their bun but my oven
Babysitting for real – Surrogate mom
Not showing, still glowing

“Rainbow baby mom gift”

If you’re unfamiliar with the term “rainbow baby mom,” it refers to mothers who have a baby after they’ve had a miscarriage.

After every storm, there’s a rainbow of hope.
Without the rain, there’d be no rainbow.
Blessed by our rainbow, but we’ll never forget our storm.
Expecting a little rainbow

“Miscarriage gift for mom”

Having a miscarriage is an incredibly difficult thing for mothers to go through so any designs relating to miscarriage should be poignant and thoughtful.

I carry you in my heart.
Mother to an angel
Angel mama
Born into Heaven – Forever in our hearts
I will hold you in my heart until I can hold you in Heaven.

“Infertility gifts”

A lot of women struggle with infertility issues as they try to become pregnant. It may take them a long time or they may need to undergo IVF. The pineapple is a symbol of infertility, so anyway you can incorporate this fruit into your designs would be great. I’ve seen some designs that use a cartoon pineapple in place of certain letters.

For example…

“Fur mom gifts”

Sometimes, either in addition to or instead of human children, moms have fur babies, aka their pets. With these designs, you can keep it general and go the “fur mom” route. Or, you can drill down and make more specific designs, such as dog mom, cat mom, bird mom, horse mom, etc.

Design ideas:

Fur mom
[Insert animal – e.g. cat, chihuahua] mom
From fur mama to baby mama
Only the best fur mams get promoted to baby mama
All this fur mom needs is coffee and her [insert animal – e.g. rabbit, poodle]
Best fur mom ever

“Plant mom gift”

Similar to moms who love their pets like children, other moms really love their plants. These are plant moms. Again, you can keep these designs general or you can get more specific and reference certain kinds of plants and/or flowers.

Design ideas:

Plant mom
[Insert plant type – e.g. tulip, succulent] mom
Crazy plant lady
I realize you’re not technically my mom, but you’ve helped me grow.

“Step mom gift”

You definitely don’t want to forget step moms as you create Mother’s Day-inspired designs. There are a lot of different types of families and many families include step relatives, which means there’s even more love to go around.

Design ideas:

Best bonus mom ever
To the best unbiological mom anyone could ask for
I smile because you’re my stepmother. I laugh because you’re married to my father.
Thanks for loving me as your own.
Wicked (awesome) stepmom

“Mother remembrance gift”

Mother’s Day can be a challenging time for some people, especially people whose mothers have passed away. But Mother’s Day remembrance gifts can be a great way to keep the memories of those moms alive and remind their loved ones of all the special times they shared.

Design ideas:

I used to be her angel, and now she is mine.
Until we meet again in Heaven – I love you, Mom
My mom is an angel now
Mothers plant the seeds of love that bloom forever.

“Expecting mom gift”

Some mothers won’t have given birth to their babies by the time Mother’s Day rolls around. But they should still be included in the celebration. And you can make designs specifically with them in mind.

Design ideas:

Sorry, I just can’t today. I’m growing a tiny human.
Bun in the oven
Growing a tiny human is exhausting
MILF est. 2021
Mama in the making
Mommy and daddy did NOT stay six feet apart.

“First time mom gift”

A mother’s first Mother’s Day with her new baby is a very special one. And to honor this occasion, there are a lot of great designs you can come up with, which can be funny or sweet.

Design ideas:
