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.

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.

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.

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!

Print out a meaningful moment or event and I’m sure your mom will happily hang it up for everyone to see.

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 It may seem outdated but my mom loves nothing more than to pop in a brand new DVD and curl up to watch anything with some drama.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!
