It’s all about the thought.
Your mom is one of the most important people in your life. With these ideas, you’re guaranteed to give her a Mother’s Day to remember!
A Happiness Planner
The message with this gift is clear: your mom focuses so much on the happiness of others, so why not a tool that can help her focus a little on herself. A happiness planner is like giving the gift of mindfulness. It’s a notebook that lets its owner set goals, track exercises, give thanks, and attempts to put a positive spin on life. It can help make happiness part of her daily practice.
Wine Bottle Chiller
If your mom is a wine lover, than check out this gorgeous wine bottle chiller and ice mould from Crate & Barrel, it’s as much a functional accessory as it is a show-stopping centerpiece. This mould can freeze a cylinder of ice that can fit a wine bottle. You can even add lemons, herbs or berries to the mould before freezing for added visual appeal and flavour.
The double-walled coaster is washable and made from stainless steel. Its unique design keeps ice frozen for up to six hours, and can contain any melted water as it runs off. The coaster can double as a candle holder. Pair it with a wine-saving carafe so she can save that leftover pinot grigio in the fridge. This is the ultimate gift for any wine-loving mom.
Large Lacquer Box Filled with Hidden Treasures
Make your gift twice as thoughtful and twice as surprising. Buy your mom a beautiful lacquer box that she can display in her home. Make it even more wonderful by filling it with photos of her family throughout the years, starting with when you were a baby. Or you can fill it with a nice piece of jewelry, or if there are any grandchildren, you can ask them to fill the box with cute drawings and arts and crafts.

Chalkboard Vase
If you are going to go the traditional flowers route, you can accentuate your gift with a beautiful and funky chalkboard vase. This MoMA-inspired vase, made of plywood laminate and glass, has a chalkboard facing where you can write a message or draw a picture, and a top slot to slide some fragrant and bright flowers into. Easy to clean and you can also buy a wall mount to showcase it.
Quality Time
Forgoing a gift in exchange for some quality time will always be a crowd-pleaser. You could plan a fun evening out where you treat your mom to a night at the theatre or symphony. If the weather is nice and you can’t afford Hamilton tickets, you could plan a fun outdoor activity.
Amazon Echo or Google Home
This one might cause you a bit of frustration but could be a very useful gift for your mom, turning her home into a modern smart home. Alexa—a cloud-based, voice recognition virtual assistant—can play music, control the thermostat, manage a to-do list, provide news and weather, and can perform hundreds of other commands. This state-of-the-art technology can make mom’s life easier even if it takes a little getting used to.
Grandchildren
Just kidding! You shouldn’t feel any pressure about this one even though it’s the only gift that is guaranteed to be an absolute winner.
