With the holiday season coming up, shopping for a mom can always be tough. Stressing over whether she will like the present or not, much less actually use the gift. Whether your mom loves to cook, organize, shop, spend time with her friends, or relax and watch a movie, this guide for gifts guarantees at least one option that your mom will love.
- Laneige lip SLEEPING mask
-
I don’t know about you, but this lip mask has been trending all over my TikTok recently. This gift is super versatile and can be enjoyed by anyone. I’m not sure anyone could be disappointed by a gift that results in smooth and plump lips. This gift also translates into a small act of self-care that can be done each night. Let me tell you if I know anyone, it’s the moms who lack consistently taking time to take care of themselves!
- Gratitude Journal
-
I gifted this to my mom last year and she absolutely loved it. This gift is perfect if your mom is like mine and is constantly doing things for other people. I tell my mom all the time that it’s super important for her to also take care of herself and her needs. A gratitude journal forces them to sit down and reflect on things they are grateful for and also take time to practice affirmations. This was a perfect way for me to reinforce to my mom that she and her mental health matter too!
- straw beach tote bag
-
My friend gifted this to her mom and I thought it was absolutely adorable. If your mom is obsessed with fashion as well as sentimental gifts, this present is perfect for her. Not only does this satisfy a mom’s multiple bag collection, but it is also a way for you to add your personal spin to it. Yes, this gift is primarily a bag, but you can also add essentials for a picnic within the bag. This way you can add your own touch to this present whether that be a cute mug, your mom’s go-to snacks, or a picnic blanket.
- milk frother
-
If anyone loves coffee, it’s my mom. A milk frother will make your mom’s day fancy to the max. Starbucks cold foam? No. At-home milk frother. My mom swears by this tool every morning and says it changed her coffee for the better.
- a personalized letter or video
-
Sometimes buying presents can be expensive, or isn’t really an option. Writing your mom a personalized letter means sometimes more than a materialistic gift. I promise your mom will love and admire even the fact that you took time out of your day to write her a letter. Another great option is a personalized video. Asking loved ones to send short videos and compiling all of them together is super sentimental and thoughtful.
- something to help organize the kitchen
-
I feel like every kitchen can use some organizing, and there’s always something that has no place – which is why this present is perfect and affordable. A simple container can go a long way with being used for anything. I’m sure it will definitely get used in some way.
Although buying presents for moms can be difficult, this guide offers cheap and affordable options that will make the perfect holiday gift. Moms can be picky, but at the end of the day, it’s the effort and love that goes noted, no matter what present you gift.
