Mothers are such a blessing and if we could give them the world, we would. You can, however, surprise your mom with gifts that she’ll love and cherish.

With these creative gift ideas, you won’t receive an awkward stare from her when you gift her something she low-key hates.

Here is a list of what your mother will truly appreciate if it comes from you.

i. Running shoes

If your mom loves to work out and keep fit, these will be perfect for her. Find the ones that provide that extra comfort with a trendy twist to them. She can wear those shoes whether she’s going to the gym or on a casual day with some jeans.

ii. Skincare products

Every woman, no matter her age, loves to get some pampering at home. As women grow older, more attention goes into keeping skin firm and vibrant as much as possible. Turn her into older-woman-skin goals by gifting her a set of products that cater to her needs. Get some eye creams, collagen masks, firming serums and the like. She will definitely appreciate those.

iii. Spa day

Gifting a lady a spa day will never grow old. There is nothing wrong with taking a back seat and being treated like a princess for a day. Every mother needs that. This will help her forget her busy schedule for a couple of hours so that she can relax a little. Pay for her massages and mani-pedi. You can join her to make it more memorable.

iv. Novels

Get your mom some wonderful novels which she’ll enjoy reading. This will give her a worthwhile break from all that technology we’re surrounded with in today’s world. Find out what’s on her reading list and surprise her with a set of books to last her a while.

v. Juicer

Now this is a gift that will win her over instantly because most mothers love kitchen appliances that make life easier for them. With this appliance, your mom can juice any fruit or veggie she wants, at her own pace. You can find one at the supermarket or choose from a variety of juicers online.

vi. Indoor garden

A smart indoor garden is a creative gift. It’s perfect because she can grow her flowers or vegetables with little to no effort. Having a garden is also a form of therapy which she’ll enjoy. She won’t have to get mud all over her or struggle with watering plants like usual outdoor gardening does.

vii. Home cooked meal

A simple home cooked meal and some company could be all she needs to remind her that she is loved. You can even decide to go all out and wow her by preparing a full course meal, including some dessert. This is a simple but fun gift idea for your mom that you can consider.

viii. Engraved jewellery

There is nothing as warming as jewellery engraved with a heartfelt message. This is something that she’ll cherish forever, which is why you can’t go wrong with this one. Choose a simple necklace or bracelet and have it engraved with a personal message. This will bring tears to her gentle eyes.
