Your mom deserves the very best that life has to offer. She brought you in the world, taught you everything she knew, and kicked your butt a few times when you deserved it. Now it’s time to thank her with a give that keeps on giving. Your mom deserves to be spoiled, and these gift ideas definitely hit the mark.
A Pampering Session – For Her House
If your mom is a well-known neat freak, her idea of bliss may be a full-home deep cleaning. Check out Groupon, Amazon, and businesses in your local area to find a comprehensive cleaning package at a reasonable price. While you’re treating your mom to a delicious brunch, cleaning pros will be hard at work scrubbing her showers and dusting her shelves. Imagine mom’s surprise when she returns home to find a perfectly clean and orderly house!
One-Step Hair Dryer and Styler
If your mom is still a stickler for her beauty routine, she’ll definitely appreciate a new hair styling tool. Consider a one-step hairdryer and styler that brushes and blow dries at the same time. You’ll give your mom the gift of a salon-worthy blowout, minus the tired arms or trip to the salon.
Bath Bombs and Plush Robe Set
Every mother deserves to soak in the tub and let the world melt away. Help your mom pamper herself with a gift of bath bombs and a plush bathrobe. In case you missed the frenzy when they surged to popularity, bath bombs are small balls of Epsom salts and fragrances that give bath water a lovely aroma and sizzle. It’s the 21st century alternative to a bubble bath with relaxing scents like lemongrass green tea and black raspberry vanilla.
Temperature Controlled Mug
Yes, this is a thing! Even if your mom already has a cabinet crammed full of mugs, she’ll definitely appreciate this temperature-controlled mug. It doesn’t matter how long her mug sits before mom finally gets around to taking a few sips- it will still be a perfect drinking temperature.
Essential Oils and Diffuser
Aromatherapy has become a very popular alternative to lighting candles. If your mom loves playing with scents and keeping her home smelling lovely, she’s sure to love a diffuser with a set of essential oils. Each oil has its own purpose, like lavender for relaxation or peppermint with lemon for a snap of energy.
At-Home DNA Test
The rise of DNA kits has helped families across the world connect with their ancestry and learn more about their lineage. Grab your mom an AncestryDNA test for a truly unique and heart-felt gift.
Customized Doormat
If your mom is sassy, she’ll love a customized doormat that says more than “Welcome!”. Check out Etsy for different styles and options. A few of the most popular doormat inscriptions include, “There’s, like, a bunch of kids in here,” and “Come Back with Coffee”.
Book of the Month Club
If your mom loves to read or faithfully follows Oprah’s suggestions, she’s sure to appreciate a Book of the Month Club subscription. She’ll choose between five popular titles each month and receive her selection in the mail. This is a great choice for moms who haven’t committed to a Kindle yet and still want to feel the weight of a book in their hands.
Amazon Kindle
On the other hand, if your mom is a book junkie who is always tempted to pack ten different paperbacks for every vacation, a Kindle is exactly what she needs. Compared to the glossy, fragile screen of a tablet or iPad, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is durable, easy to read in the sun, and affordable. The most recent version is even waterproof!
