Christmas is almost here, yet most people are still stumped on what to give their loved ones for the holiday. Finding the perfect gift for family members can be a head-scratcher, and many agree that it can be particularly tough to find the best gift for the number one lady in the house—Mom.
Instead of resorting to the holiday standbys of perfume, jewelry, or clothing, there’s a way to find the perfect gift to give mom this Christmas. Simply take a closer look at what she loves to do, or what brings her joy, and get some inspiration from there. Is she sporty, and does she like to workout? Does she enjoy a nice cup of tea or coffee and reading novels during her downtime? Or is she a beauty enthusiast and appreciates the latest products and innovations on beauty?
Here are some of the best holiday gift ideas for mom.
For the fitness-conscious mom- Good Housekeeping lists the Fitbit Alta as the perfect gift for the mom who makes her health a number one priority. The slim and stylish fitness tracker tracks steps, distance, calories burned and more, and it also reminds users to stay active throughout the day. It’s available in a variety of colors in metal or leather and starts at $130. To make the gift extra special, throw in the Comsun Foldable Duffle Bag ($21.99), a gym bag which is water resistant and has multiple pockets for easy organization.
For the avid reader- Country Living lists classics such as “Little Women” and “Anne of Green Gables” with beautifully illustrated covers by Anna Bond as the perfect gift for the mom who loves to read. Get the two titles, plus “Heidi” and “A Little Princess” from riflepaper.com for only $64. Add a tin of Dragon Pearl Jasmine Tea from Harney and Sons ($11.40) to make reading time even more special for mom.
For the colorist- Got a mom who’s into the adult coloring trend? Upgrade her school-grade colored pencils to a set which artists love to use, such as the 72-count Prismacolor Premiere Colored Pencils ($41.49). Bundle it with a copy of the official “Outlander” coloring book ($10.83) for a fantastic gift that won’t break the bank.
For the beauty enthusiast- Give mom a treat by getting her some of Caudalie’s top selling products bundled in a chic pouch. The Caudalie Favorites 294 Gram set ($39) includes an Instant Detox Mask, a 3-in-1 Micellar Cleansing Water, an eye treatment, and a Beauty Elixir spritz. Wrap it together with a gift card from Sephora which mom can use to splurge on her top makeup picks.
Wrap gifts creatively, and there are a lot of easy ways to do this as previously reported by Jobs & Hire. Lastly, don’t forget to thank mom for all she has done, as a warm greeting and words of appreciation make any gift, whether modest or lavish, all the more special.
