You love your Mom! She’s been with you every step of the way. From literally your first steps to your biggest leaps. She’s always been the booster that helps you launch and the safety net that catches you if you fall. She’s one of the most special people in your life, and you’re going to show her this Christmas! But what happens when the person you love the most, is also the person who’s the hardest to shop for? You ask question after question, combing through her answers for any hint of an idea for a gift. But all you get back is something along the lines of “Oh, I don’t need anything. You just being there is enough.” Well, this year, things are going to be different! We’ve compiled this great list of gift ideas for Mom. Because this year everybody’s having a Merry Christmas! If they want to or not!
Having a Blue Christmas
Does your Mom love the golden oldies? Does she take a pause whenever she hears a tenor ripping through a solo? Why don’t you give her the gift of listening to hits from some of the best jazz artists of all time! Take your mother time traveling with new releases from old classics, like Art Blakey, or dive into something newer like Norah Jones. If she likes jazz, then this is your bag because this label is one of the art pillars and will indeed have something she’ll love!
The Sights, Sounds, and Scents? Of The Hollidays!
One of the most underrated aspects of Christmas is the feast of scents that you experience. The smell of turkey roasting in the oven. The frosty forestry smell of the tree as you decorate it. These sensational memories are what you keep with you all year round. So this year, why not add another olfactory aid with this essential oils collection? These types of scents are known to destress and relax the mind and body. They promote a sense of wellness and stress relief for the people using them and have been known to have therapeutic benefits and aid in meditation. This is perfect if you’re looking to keep your silent night peaceful!
Serving on Ceramics
Does this sound familiar to you? You’re at your parent’s house, trying to cook a simple can of soup, but you can’t find anything to cook it with? You search and search and search until finally, you unearth a saucepan. The only problem is, it looks like it was made in the ’50s, and it smells like it was made in the 1850s! At that point, it’s safe to say that your mom might need some new cookware! A full set like this is a great answer to any of your mother’s kitchen quandaries because they feature every type of pan your mom will ever need! Additionally, all of these accouterments are made from ceramic, which gives you even heating across the whole pan and makes sure that none of the chemicals that appear in other pans are present!
My Pup in a Picasso
Have you ever wanted to see your pet on a canvas? If it’s true for you, it’s true for mom too, so why not consider getting one of these amazing custom prints. See her cute little fur baby get the star treatment by placing them on a personalized canvas. See Scruffy as a swashbuckling pirate. Or a young buck is coming home from the holidays!
Balance in the Belly
As we age, the opportunity for our stomach’s natural bacteria to get out of whack only grows. Your mom is the same way, so if you’re noticing any warning signs of trouble. A smart solution would be to get her to try tepache. This is a probiotic drink that promotes healthy bacteria in the stomach. This helps relieve any unwanted gas or nausea as well and also aids indigestion. This might not be the most glamorous gift for Christmas, but trust me after just a couple of weeks with this drink. Your mom won’t stop thanking you for looking out for her!
For Those Not So Silent Nights
Now you may have an image of your mom in your mind. She’s quiet and reserved and kind and gentle. You look back and think you have the full picture. But what if I were to tell you? You only have half the picture! Yes as anyone with kids knows, that just having a little one doesn’t mean the partying’s done. So treat your mom with all the tools for a night out with this beautiful mezcal! Let your mom have a night off for a change, or if she wants, to share it with the whole (adult)family! With a fine, refreshing, and fun drink, we’re sure she’ll find something to do!
