Who hasn’t spent hours at the shopping mall searching for a gift that will make mom happy? On one hand, you want to surprise her, but on the other — you want to avoid an awkward situation by giving something too simple or impractical (like scented candles or photo frames).
The good news is that there are gift ideas that can brighten mom’s day, make it warmer and bring joy. And no, you don’t have to spend a huge amount of money to do it.
This year, consider gifts that combine practicality, emotion, and a touch of personalization. Maybe a stylish throw blanket for cozy evenings, a subscription to her favorite service, or even a small home spa set — the key is to make her feel loved and show that her feelings matter to you. We spoke with plenty of experts to gather 10 wonderful gift ideas that not only fit any budget but are sure to delight the most important woman in your life.
1. Smart jewelry – beautiful and useful
Jewelry is a classic, but we’re in the year 2025. Why not give a stylish ring or bracelet that monitors your sleep, stress, heart rate and even the number of steps you take? It’s beautiful, useful, and technology – mom will be 100% thrilled.
2. Homemade clothes that you won’t be ashamed to show the neighbors
If mom is still walking around the house in old sweatpants, it’s time to fix that. Soft cashmere, interesting and comfortable sets in the same style, a robe that looks like it’s from a spa – let your mom experience home comfort for real!
3. Subscriptions with love
Subscriptions are for everything, but the key is to choose what you really need. Wine every month (not suitable for everyone), fresh books in audio format, rare coffee delivery – choose what suits her.
4. Personalized gadget
A phone case with a family photo (but not banal, but stylish) or a personalized tablet cover or even an engraved notebook (or laptop case) – simple, but with meaning.
5. Home spa – no compromise option
Please, no cheap supermarket kits. Get serious: a nice robe, “salon-like” level facial masks, a head massager and yes – one cool candle, but a good one. She’ll be pleasantly surprised.
6. Kitchen appliances (if mom likes to cook)
For those who get high in the kitchen – a cool deep fryer or a fancy steam oven. For those who don’t like to cook – a gold Yandex.Food card and a beautiful serving plate. The main thing is to get into the style.
7. A digital photo frame (because the memory on my phone is full)
Moms love photos, but almost never print them. A frame that updates itself with your new pics is generally top.
8. Impressions instead of things
Lunch at a restaurant is certainly nice but boring. A pottery class, a wine tour or a culinary evening with a chef is something you’ll remember for a long time.
9. A bag that can withstand anything (and still be stylish)
Work, shopping, a sudden trip out of town – mom needs a bag that can handle it all without looking like a regular mom bag. Find something elegant, and practical. For moms is always important functionality of the bag – look for options with materials that are easily washable or transformer bags that are great for every day – like shopping or boutique shopping.
10. Day of Silence
The simplest but most welcome gift is to simply give her a day of rest (quiet) . No worries, no cooking, no cleaning, no family squabbles. Let her do what she wants, even if it’s a whole day of soap operas, and you will take over all her family responsibilities at this time, won’t that surprise her?
The main thing – not the price and not “wow-effect”, but that you really know what your mom would like and that you want to please her. Better yet, just call more often. Because that’s what moms really expect most of all.
