Every year, we promise ourselves that we’ll find something truly special for your mom to show everything that she means to us. But between work, wrapping and festive chaos, it’s easy to fall back on slippers, candles and general gift sets. But Moms deserve so much more than this, especially putting up with us through our teenage years! This Christmas, it’s time to do something different. Whether she loves relaxing at home, staying stylish or cherishing sentimental keepsakes, there’s always something out there that your mum would love. From cosy comforts to personal treasures, here are five Christmas gifts your mum will absolutely love.
1. A luxury spa-at-home gift set
After all the years of hard work from school runs to dinners, moms deserve a bit of pampering and relaxation. Rather than buying these gift sets pre-made, it’s more thoughtful to create your own hamper, to help your mom unwind from the Christmas chaos with a 5-star treatment from the comfort of your own home. To create one, make sure that you find a hamper or basket that is large enough to fit in a robe, bath oils, candles and bath bombs. Opt for scents such as lavender, eucalyptus or rose to evoke a relaxing feel. A great touch is to create a handwritten spa day voucher to bring together the full effect, or even suggest a playlist of songs to relax to.
2. A thoughtful piece of jewellery
No one wants to receive any old piece of jewellery for Christmas. Nothing says that you don’t know a person more than getting them a gold ring when they only wear silver and don’t wear rings. This is why it’s important to carefully consider the jewellery that you pick out. If your mom is sentimental, then a necklace with her children’s initials or her birthstone is a great way to show her that you know her well. Items like this are easily found on Etsy, which also helps to give that handmade touch. Alternatively, if you’re more stylish and enjoy the finer things, you may want to pick out some pink sapphire jewellery or even a custom necklace. All of these options will show your mum that you know her, to avoid another piece of jewellery sitting at the bottom of the box.
3. A cosy cashmere jumper or scarf
As it gets to the colder season, it’s always handy to have something warm, and a soft cashmere jumper can feel like a warm hug that your mum can wear all winter long. Gifts that are stylish and also useful can be the best presents and are always appreciated. Classic colours such as cream, blush and grey are timeless and a safer bet than bright colours and will last the test of time. Sustainable or ethically sourced options can also add an extra touch of thoughtfulness, especially if this is important to your mom. So, if you’re looking for something stylish yet heartfelt, this is a great option for this Christmas.
4. A memory book or photo album
For those moms who love to look back at baby photos and reminisce on memories, a scrapbook of family photos, handwritten notes or printed holiday memories. Semental gifts can sometimes be the most thoughtful, especially when you’ve put time into selecting memories and physically making a scrapbook. This is a cost-effective and easily accessible as there are many online websites where you can get photos printed for free. Adding captions and quotes by hand further adds a more personal touch, as a tangible reminder of the laughter and milestones that you’ve shared.
5. An experience to share
What do you get a mom that has everything? It can be difficult to think of a gift when it seems that your mom has everything. This is where experience gifts come in, so that you can gift a memory of you together. Booking a theatre show, a weekend getaway, or even a pottery class can give you two dome quality time together, which is often what moms want most. After all, it’s not just about the experience; the best gift of all might be the time spent laughing over tea and other memories made side by side.
Get buying
Whether it’s something sentimental stylish, or simply soothing, the best gifts for mom come from the heart. This Christmas, skip last-minute rush gifts and choose something that shows how much you care. Because no matter what you give her, the smile on her face will be the real gift.
