Mother's Day Special: 15 Best Mother's Day Gift Ideas Your Mom Will Truly Enjoy

If moms have anything in common, it's their love for flowers (all the countless pictures they take next to flowering trees and shrubs are proof!) While you can always get her a bouquet of fresh blooms, how about getting her a subscription that will keep her bedroom or living space vibrant? Several companies let you choose a subscription to deliver fresh blooms every week, bi-weekly or monthly and even let you choose the kind of flowers you'd like.

This is something you can't go wrong with, and works across budgets. Depending on how much you'd like to spend, you could gift your mom a dainty pair of gold earrings, pearl sets or go heavier with silver jewellery sets she could wear on the next special occasion. You could take a look at old pictures to assess her existing collection and styles she prefers before making a purchase. If you're too confused but know for sure that she'd appreciate some jewellery, you could also consider getting her a gift card. 

A well done foot massage puts anyone in a good mood. Gift your mum an electric foot massager if she loves massages and likes visiting the spa often. Since it's at home, she could use it at her convenience. It helps with chronic pain too. Make sure it's small enough to be tucked away when not in use. 

If your mum is blessed with a green thumb, gift her a few gardening supplies like new seeds, bird feeders, pretty ceramic pots and planters or accessories to elevate her gardening game. You could do a quick check of what she needs and add a few extra gifts to the mix. Make a hamper with different tools to complete your mother's day gift. 

Got an explorer at home? Whether your mum has always loved travelling or has only begun to venture out on her own, it's essential to have comfy and practical bags she can easily carry around. If she has a trip coming up, gift her some pretty carry-on bags or a suitcase filled with essentials like a passport holder, travel cards and luggage tags to make her trip easier and safer. 

Board games are a fun way to spend some time with your mom and other family members. We recommend getting something challenging like a 1000 piece puzzle set, or a slightly difficult board game set that would challenge your mum slightly. It's not just fab for getting in some family time, but great at keeping your mind occupied too. 

Telling your mum to hit the gym regularly is one thing, but encouraging her by signing her up could actually be effective. You could get your mom to sign up for her favourite fitness classes, whether it's a yoga session, aerobics or zumba. Since getting started can be intimidating, you could take a couple of classes with her until she gets the hang of it. 

If your mum is a curly hair girl, or has frizzy hair that she likes to tame regularly, how about gifting her some luxurious silk pillowcases? Silk pillow covers are known to keep your hair soft as opposed to cotton pillowcases since they cause much less friction. Get her a pair in her favourite colour and you can always buy some more once she gets used to them. 

Since most of us have robust skincare routines, how about getting your mom started on one, even if it's just with sunscreen? You could mix and match products based on her skin type and concern to establish a basic routine she can build on later. If she's fussy about multi-step routines, you can get her one fool-proof product to begin with. 

If you have a house-proud mum who's always making little additions to the home, gift her some home decor she'd love to style. Since you already know her sensibility, you could start with minimal art pieces, or decorative plates that add to her aesthetic. If there's a store she loves shopping from, you could also consider getting her a store gift card. 

Share a sweet tooth with your mum? How about gifting her some homegrown artisanal handcrafted chocolates? You could pick her favourite flavours and make a gift hamper, or make an assortment for her to try out. You can never go wrong with a bar of chocolate! 

Have a voracious reader at hand? How about gifting your mom collector's items of her favourite books or authors? You could also get art inspired by some of her favourite characters or lines. If she's someone who loves exploring new authors and titles, you could get her a gift card to a local bookstore that stocks various titles. 

A watch is another gift you can barely go wrong with, and works across budgets. How about taking it up a notch and investing in a smart watch where you can easily track her fitness levels too? It's also great for safety, since you can link it up to the phone. 

With so many things she needs to take care of, it's only natural for moms to forget essentials like keys, phones and other important items they need throughout the day. How about getting her a cute trinket tray or a catch-all to solve this problem? You can place it right by the door so she needs everything she needs, ready to go.
