If your mum is a reader, then books are gifts that never go out of fashion. Believe me, I know. My son gifted me two books for my birthday last year and though I have still not started reading them, I truly cherish them. To a reader, a book is always welcome. And if your mum is into e-books, buy her a Kindle. She will appreciate having many books at her fingertips. You can even buy her a library membership.

 

2. Wellness Planner

Mums generally neglect their health as they are caught up in routines. Buy her a planner where she can jot down ideas, goals and daily chores along with her health and fitness goals. This is a simple gift but will go a long way in making her life better planned and stress free.

 

3. Health Check

She wouldn’t want to waste the money and will go for it despite herself. That way you would have laid the stepping stone to a great habit. If possible, go with her. That will sweeten the gift more.

This does not have to very expensive but something that makes her life easier. You can go for something like a handy chopper that is not too expensive to an Airfryer (if you have the budget) if she is a health-conscious cook.  Perhaps an epilator, massager, Kindle or a home pedicure kit is what she desires. Go as per her like and buy her something she really needs.

 

9. Wine Glass/Personalized Tea or Coffee Mug

I am a wine lover and love wine glasses. A personalized wine glass is a gift I’d love. But if you mum is an avid tea or coffee aficionado, then go with personalized mugs. It’s not too expensive and you can run amuck with creativity. Go for a family picture or a quirky quote.

10. Cook a Meal for Her

This is a really thoughtful gesture if you can cook a meal for her. But if you are challenged in the cooking department take her out for a meal or organize one for her and her friends. On one day, feed her and show her your gratitude.
