Now that Mother's Day in the United States is approaching, it is important to remember the gifts we used to give to moms are no longer sufficient.
Gone are the days where people buy small household items or small gifts. But instead of expensive gifts or being spoiled, moms have revealed what they really want: a few hours for themselves.
Of course, that won't be the case across the board - and some mothers will be looking forward to a well-deserved day about themselves.
For that, there are thousands of possible gifts, depending on the woman receiving them, ranging from the infallible roses in a neat arrangement to a sentimental gift or even luxury items such as chocolates, beauty sets or a pampering at a spa.
What are the best Mother's Day gifts for moms?
The possibilities are endless. Fortunately, we are here to help you with some original and affordable ideas that will make moms feel special:
A guide to beautifying the garden
Having a beautiful, flower-filled garden is becoming more and more of an art and a preoccupation for mum. The book 'Exploring the Horticultural World' is a good alternative that can help mum turn her garden into a work of art, with options ranging from exotic gardens in ancient Japan to English cottages.
Bird feeder with sunroof
The best option is Bird Buddy, an original bird feeder with a built-in camera for taking up to 5MP photos and 720p videos, whether it's for birds or squirrels. It is cloud-connected and uses AI to identify which species of birds eat the food you put in it to determine what kind of seeds you put in. An ideal gift for birdwatchers.
Mixing bowl set
Although this is a kitchen item, there are some sets of bowls that also serve as decorative objects, made of some specific types of glass or ceramics, which, even if mum doesn't cook often, can still serve as an attractive element to decorate her kitchen.
Comfortable shoes
Although shoes are a guaranteed winning gift for mothers, it is difficult to choose the best ones. An attractive option might be a set of traditional Dutch clogs, which are made with soft materials, from the Calzuro brand. Not only are they beautiful and comfortable, but also sterilisable, making them perfect if your mom is a nurse or working on her feet.
French ceramic fruit bowl
An elegant design created by Emile Henry is a great alternative to give a special detail to mum's house. The discreet ceramic bowl combines a dark background, with some ventilation holes that serve to store fruits or vegetables. But it also has a cork lid, which turns it into a shallow fruit bowl for bananas and tomatoes that need more air and light.
Personalized handmade dolls
A craft can also be an attractive alternative for mom. A beautiful option is from the Wooden Beehive brand, hand-decorated by artist Bee Webb in North Carolina and with the peculiarity that it can be personalized, according to your needs. When you buy it, you can send photos through Etsy and the artist will keep in touch with you to pick the option that best suits your needs.
Turn your mom into an artist
If your mom spends her free time developing her artistic skills or is looking for a project, a box of watercolors can be a great help. These are not the cheap, limited paints we use in school. There are some sets that include a wide range of shades that can be used to create beautiful landscapes or detailed portraits, to let her creative side flow.
A personalized necklace
Another foolproof gift is a classic disc-shaped necklace with lettering comes in a smooth or hammered surface, it can be with different chain lengths and finishes. However, the variety of designs, textures, shapes and objects will surely help you find the ideal object for mom.
The infallible floral arrangement
A foolproof gift for Mother's Day is a floral arrangement, either in a bouquet or in a flower arrangement, which will fill the room with a beautiful scent. Although they are items with a limited life span, the beauty of flowers is always welcome as a gift.
A comfortable pajama
Finally if you want something casual but comfortable, it's a pajama from Eberje, which is comfortable, cool and can be nice for a lazy day on the couch as well. The brand handles an interesting variety of colors, textures and designs.
