Moms are amazing, aren’t they? Even when we leave home, they’re always around to listen to our problems, share their best recipes, and even do our washing when things get a little busy.
The problem is, it can be really hard to find the right way to thank them – we’ve all heard the words ‘I don’t want you to buy me anything’ far too often, and it gets more and more difficult to find cute gifts each year.
What do you buy the best woman in your life who claims to already have everything she needs? We’ve come up with a few suggestions here – whether your mum loves to shop, cook, go on adventures, drive, or party- we’ve found it all.
A sleep tight set
If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that our moms are ALWAYS tired. Running around at work all day before coming home to sort the house and feed the family can be difficult (props to the stay at home dads), so it’s time to give them the perfect night’s sleep.
The Sleep Tight set from Plant Therapy is the ultimate hamper with the very best products to relax the body and mind.
Complete with the company’s own Sleep Tight herbal oil blend, luscious body cream, 4 oz of Lavender Organic Hydrosol, a silk eye mask, earplugs with carry case and bubble bath, your mom is sure to get the rest she deserves.
Twinkle in Time Star Map
For the mom who adores thoughtful gifts with a personal touch, a Twinkle in Time Star Map is perfect.
The easy-to-use website asks you to select a date and location, from which it puts together a poster showing the exact alignment of the stars at that moment in time. Choose your mom’s birthday, her wedding anniversary, or even the birthdays of you and your siblings for a cute set of maps. You can choose dates in the future too. This really is a gift that is sure to get the tears flowing!
Every map is printed on high-quality paper which makes for gorgeous wall art and a fabulous conversation-starter.
Greatest Parents Plaque
To show both mom and dad how much you really appreciate them, consider buying an admittedly cheesy but really cute greatest parents plaque.
This beautifully written message engraved onto a stylish plaque will fit right into any parent’s home and will be cherished forever.
If you’re not too good with words or expressing how you feel then there are no worries – this lovely gift does it all for you. This was also listed in Gift Wits’ list of 35 Great Gifts for Him and Her.
Kool8 water bottle
For the mom who’s always on the go and always leaving her coffee to go cold, a Kool8 water bottle is simply perfect.
These stylish, double-vacuumed bottles keep cold drinks cold for 24 hours, and hot drinks hot for 12.
Your mom could make a cup of coffee in the morning before work, and it would still be piping hot by lunchtime for the perfect pick-me-up!
The bottles come in three color choices and every time you make a purchase, 20% of the profit goes towards delivering clean water to underprivileged regions in the world. A great bottle that also helps the world to be a better place for all? Perfect!
A gorgeous watch
Moms who always have one eye on the time are definitely in need of a stylish watch to flaunt on their wrist. The Skagen women’s Karolina wristwatch is minimalistic yet simply beautiful.
If your mom loves jewelry that makes a small statement but is also really useful, definitely consider buying this watch – it’s in rose gold too for added style.
This stainless steel watch with an alluring Japanese quartz movement was featured in Cool Things Chicago’s 39 amazing gifts for your favorite woman, so you know it has to be good.
Convince your mom to part ways with her worn-out wrist-piece, and treat her to something new that she’ll absolutely adore.
Foot massager
Some moms just really need that little extra bit of Tender Loving Care every now and then, and one of the best ways is through a foot massager.
Rated as one of the best on Amazon, a Belmint Shiatsu Foot Massager is the way to go. It is specially designed to provide a deep tissue massage and assist in blood flow circulation and works on the feet to relieve chronic pain, stubborn knots, muscle tension, plantar fasciitis, and other aches.
Your mom can simply get home, take off her shoes, slip into the massager and unwind while watching the TV. There’s even a heat function available to keep those toes toasty warm.
Dyson Hair Dryer
Drying your hair can be a real pain, so if your mom has to, why not let her do it in style with a Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer? It’s engineered to protect the hair from heat and controls the flow of air resulting in 75% more smoothness than any ordinary hairdryer.
Dyson also claims the tool will increase shine by 132%, and decrease frizz and flyaways by up to 61%.
What’s not to love?
Imaware celiac testing kit
Gifting a celiac disease testing kit may seem a little bizarre, but will be perfect for the health-conscious mom. If your mom is always talking to you about gut health, nagging you to eat more ginger and forcing you to drink more water, then she’ll probably be really interested to find out more about her own health.
An at-home blood testing kit from imaware™ is the only one that has been designed alongside world-class experts and scientifically validated.
It’s really easy, you take a small amount of blood using the pain-free lancet supplied with the test and mail it back to imaware™.
Within five days a report will arrive in your mom’s inbox explaining whether she has celiac disease, what the next steps look like, and how she can track her progress over time. I tried it, and I really loved how the findings were presented to me – highly recommend it!
