- Kitchen utensils and appliances - if your mom is an exemplary housewife who gets everything right when it comes to cooking, she will be glad to have useful appliances and utensils. Microwaves, grill pans, multicookers, cutlery sets, cake pans and other wonders.
- Manicure set - usually includes 5-10 tools, mounted in a compact folding case. Many people prefer German, Czech, American brands; there are also domestic ones of decent quality. The most expensive ones are in leather.
- Favorite perfume is an all-time bestseller while women prefer individuality. This is a consumable item and often changes according to the season. So buying a branded bottle is a sign of care and consideration.
- A fluffy blanket will wrap mommy up on winter evenings when she sits down to relax in front of the TV or reading a book. What is worth thinking about here is the colors that are pleasing to the eye, the non-prickly texture and the ease of caring for the item.
- Hairdryer for styling - when the old one is still quite ready to serve itself, but is already morally and externally outdated. The new one will be more gentle on your hair, and thoughtful attachments will help you create light and modern hairstyles.
- A pendant - even made of gold or silver - is an inexpensive and cute option for a holiday. The item can be combined with different chains and fits into any wardrobe, especially since the stores have a huge selection of solid items or with inserts.
- A robe and slippers - choose something not quite everyday as a gift. A feminine set made of fabric that holds its shape will hide excess and highlight your assets. Fabric or leather slippers to match will complement the gift.
- A cosmetic bag with useful products is a handbag and can be a gift in itself if it looks self-sufficient. If the main items are creams, an eye shadow palette, powder, and lipstick, then the cosmetic bag will serve as a decorative case.
- A massage course helps to maintain the body and mood in a cheerful state. The choice of destinations is now wide – from classical medical to spa or Asian practices. A lot depends on the qualifications of the master, so he is chosen carefully.
- A floor vase with decorative shoots – mom sometimes doesn’t have time to buy this massive item on her own. But it’s great to accept as a gift if there are niches in the apartment that need filling. Pair with high-quality artificial flowers.
- A kitten - a small eared ball - will become a reason for endless joys (and everyday sorrows) for an elderly mother who lives alone. You will need to help with accessories, toys and raising a new family pet.
- Bath series of cosmetics - if it can be difficult to choose one for mature facial skin (it’s difficult to guess), then there is always a choice of products for showering or bathing. Foams, bombs, oils, scrubs, salts - all from the line of preferred scents.
- A telephone is a mother’s need for a new gadget, perhaps not as often as we ourselves change this technology. But she is also pleased to receive a more modern and convenient device. Older mothers still like push-button models, which are now being relaunched.
- A tablecloth with napkins - it is not necessary to choose a festive color, because for every day you need something pleasing to the eye. The assortment varies in product sizes and fabric texture: some prefer durable synthetics, others prefer finicky linen.
- A decorated photo album - you can easily arrange a collection of holiday photos yourself: just go for a walk with your mother ahead of time and take a selfie. She will enjoy looking at this collection from time to time.
- A new umbrella will displace her usual, but so boring copy. And in general - let the umbrellas be different, for all occasions of mood or weather. Green with stripes - for spring, solid beige - to take with you to work.
- A certificate for Beauty Day at the salon is a pleasant opportunity to give yourself a little more time. Mommy often saves both time and expenses on this, preferring household chores or walks with her grandchildren. But she always wants to be beautiful.
- Gloves – Before you buy a pair, check with your mom about the size. Made from soft leather, the finest kid, or wool with a pile lining - all these things are not only feminine, but also take care of the beauty of mother’s hands.
- Tea set – you can limit yourself to one pair made of porcelain or tempered glass if your mother likes to drink coffee alone or needs a mug for the office. A set for 6 people is chosen according to the color and volume to which the hero of the occasion is accustomed.
- Car accessories - the car lady will appreciate them. What exactly to buy as a gift depends on the individual: a DVR, a vacuum cleaner, a thermos, a braid, panel holders, music, car chargers, air fresheners and blankets for the car.
- A stole of refreshing colors - whether it is light summer or warm wool, the main thing you should pay attention to is the color. The older a woman is, the greater the role colors play in her wardrobe. Which one to choose – think about it in advance.
- Set of towels – sets of terry products for face, body and bath care look especially elegant. Pastel shades or bright prints, decor in the form of lace trim or embroidery.
- A pair of beautiful and comfortable boots are indispensable for long street walks, and you can’t have too many of them. If you know the size and fullness, as well as style preferences, the choice becomes easier. You can also go shopping together and buy something that suits you.
- A table lamp is an element of home comfort and a symbol of your concern for the comfort of your mother’s rest. The lamp can only be decorative, with weak diffused light. Or - functional, helping to read or knit at dusk.
- A notebook with a pen is suitable for both a business woman and a housewife. But it is more appropriate to give more austere, albeit feminine, products to the first ones. For those who spend most of their time working around the house, spiral notebooks are more convenient.
