Stuck on ideas for gifts for your mom this holiday season? Look no further, these are some simple, yet thoughtful gifts that will be sure to put a smile on any mom’s face.
1. Bag/Purse
Oftentimes, it is not unusual to be in the process of going out to dinner or an event with your mom, only to be stuck waiting for what seems like lifetimes for her to finish stuffing her tiny purse with mountains of items that she ABSOLUTELY NEEDS. A bigger and sturdier bag or purse would be a great gift for your mom. Make sure it is in a style that she would feel comfortable using all year round, and I’m sure she will be grateful to have a home for the millions of tiny accessories and necessities that she just can’t leave the house without.

Now, I don’t know about your mother, but my mom is always freezing. It could be a cool spring day and you can bet she’ll be running toward the car as soon as we exit the shelter of a building. With that being said, a jacket for your mom can be a much-appreciated gift. Making sure to keep her style in mind, your mom is bound to smile when opening this one up.

4. Gift Card
Now, we face the old debate, are gift cards appropriate gifts for your mom, or anyone, for that matter? My answer—why not? Does anybody get a gift card and just not use it? Gift cards are such a unique gift and I am grateful any time I am given one. I say, pick your mom’s favorite store or restaurant, and load it up with 50 bucks. She’ll thank you!

Pictures are without question a universal favorite among mothers everywhere. You’re telling me you’ve never seen your mom excitedly reaching to the top of her closet to pull out “the old photo albums”. You’ve never witnessed her while she decorated every inch of the house with photos and frames of you as a baby? Print out a meaningful moment or event and I’m sure your mom will happily hang it up for everyone to see.

11. Movies
If your mom is anything like my mom, then she still has and USES her trusty old DVD player. It may seem outdated but my mom loves nothing more than to pop in a brand new DVD and curl up to watch anything with some drama. I suggest browsing by her favorite actor or genre, buy some candy and popcorn for two, and enjoy a movie the old fashioned way. If your mom prefers the movie theater, that’s another great way to get some quality time with her too!
