Perfect Christmas Gifts for Mom


Perfect Christmas Gifts for Mom

Christmas gift buying is a challenge for many people. You do not want to be gifting mom a present that will end up in the back of the cupboard or in the local thrift store before the new year. Here we look at some ideas, that go far beyond garage-bought chocolates and flowers. Here we’ve chosen the perfect Christmas gifts tailored for every mom you need to shop for:

For the Domestic Goddess

Sign up with an online florist and send a bouquet of flowers to your mom each month. Having flowers at home has to been proven by science to boost creativity, and reduce anxiety. For longer lasting blooms, choose potted plants that can be transferred to the garden. For one of the most perfect Christmas gifts choose a flower that will never die. An Eternity Rose, a natural rose, dipped in either gold, platinum or silver, or a rose that is glazed in colour and trimmed with gold is a wonderful token of your unending love to your mom.

For the mom who loves to entertain

Attractive Le Creuset products are trusted by professional chefs and loved by those who enjoy cooking, make them ideal Christmas gifts for those who love to entertain. Le Creuset is most famous for its cast iron cookware, but they also produce stainless steel and stoneware products for the kitchen and the dining room, plus accessories that also make great gift ideas.

Oscar de la Renta not only has a successful line of lingerie, he also has a home-ware range that includes an amazing tortoise glass ice bucket paired with a gold lid and tongs that will add elegance to any Christmas party.

The Museum of Modern Art in New York have the most fabulous contemporary gifts, from a hand-blown coffee maker through to an Italiani Cheese Connoisseur Set that includes high-quality knives crafted specifically for slicing and serving soft, semi-soft and hard cheeses.

For the Yogi

Yoga company Hugger Mugger offer eco-friendly yoga equipment with mats and blocks made from cork, jute, bamboo as well as natural rubber. Manduka sell well-designed, sustainable, seam-free yoga kit to help mom stretch and bend in comfort.

A yoga retreat in the hills of Portugal, whilst sleeping in a teepee or yurt may just be the break your mom deserves. Choose between a 5 star spa retreat or a more rustic rural escape. For something closer to home, choose a gift certificate for a local studio and promise to mind the kids whilst she’s at class.

For the Gym Buff

If mom’s going to the gym with the same bag she used before the kids were born, now is a time for an upgrade and a bag that she will not be embarrassed to carry. This could be a Tommy Hilfiger tote, a Stella McCartney sports bag or a Kate Spade weekender, that can double-up as a bag to take on a weekend away with the girls

Moms, particularly new moms, sometimes struggle to get used to their new body shape after pregnancy. A gift certificate for personal training can teach mom some new moves at the gym, build strength and grow confidence. Consider joining her as working out with a friend can bring even better results.

For the Runner

If your marathon mum still has her Garmin Forerunner 10, it’s time for an upgrade. The Garmin Forerunner 630 crunches all the data necessary for training and racing. It even has a built in recovery advisor that will tell mom when to take a break.

Comfortable headphones that deliver good sound quality make for a much easier run. SENSO have built Bluetooth Headphones that include 4.1 CSR technology, an IPX-7 waterproof rating and an eight-hour battery life.

For Sleeping Beauty

La Perla is famous for it’s ultra-luxe lingerie, but also has some gorgeous nightwear too, because as a mom, she’s a woman who deserves to feel special.

Being mom is tiring, particularly for new moms. Rest may not be easy, but changing out of an old T-shirt and sweats into luxury leisurewear will make her instantly feel better. Asceno’s satin pyjama pants with side-seam stripes will look good at any time.
