Mother’s Day is a great occasion to spoil your mum without it being a birthday reminder. There are so many great presents to choose from and there doesn't need to be so much pressure. You want to find something that she can use over and over again or an experience that will keep her entertained for months or even years to come. In fact, anything that you get for her will make her happy - but let’s make sure it is special and unique anyway!

Tote Bags

A stylish new tote bag never goes astray - whether your mum is a company lady or a stay at home. Make the tote bag a special one. Get the best tote bag in the market or check out articles online about making your own tote bag. Whichever type of bag you go for, it will be a practical gift that she can use every day for shopping, going to the beach or that quick weekend getaway.

Mama Necklace

A trendy item crafted from 18-karat yellow gold, this keepsake accessory is a sentimental gift for any new mom. It’s perfect for any proud Mama that is happy to strut around and show off her new bling. These necklaces sell for around $600 and can be kept forever - it can even be passed down to future mums in the family.

Jewelry Boxes

Speaking of jewelry, who doesn’t love to keep their precious necklaces, bracelets, and rings in a box that is as fitting as the treasure inside. If your mum doesn’t already have one, this is a great addition to her bedroom or closet. You can even go DIY on the present and customize the box with pictures of your mum’s favorite things! It can be photos of you and your family, magazine cuttings of stylish illustrations or even newspaper cuttings with hidden messages stuck on the exterior of the box.

Home Touches

Treat your mum to the latest in home design. Has her wardrobe been the same and never changed? Are there a few furnishings like sinks, taps, washing machine, showerheads or TVs that could use with a replacement? Although these items are more costly, especially if you buy good quality, they give your mum’s home a lift and they are a good investment, and they add value to the property. These types of gifts are definitely not expected! Want to add a little touch without changing a home too much? Check out some stylishtapestries that can be hung anywhere in her home.

The Gift of Experience

Being a mother leaves little time for getaways. And when there is time for an impromptu holiday, it usually means that the whole family travels as one and dear mum finds herself managing the exact same responsibilities as she would if she were home.  Well, make this holiday one that she will remember. Get a group of you together and buy her a package deal at a hotel/spa for a weekend with a friend. Does your mum prefer the city and parties? Grab a family member or a friend to join aboard and book your mum a flight and hotel in a city she has never been to.

New Luggage

Speaking of holidays, why not get your mum a new piece of luggage? For new mums, search for luggage that is best to have when you travel with kids - maybe you need to get her and dad a big one! Or maybe your mum has time for herself now that kids are all grown up. Does your mum go away on business occasionally? Bring her up to date with the new travel fashion and invest in a carry on that she can take anywhere in the world with her.

Exercise Mat

No matter how busy or how much free time your mum has, there is always a need for exercise. Keep your mum motivated by buying her an exercise mat. No exercise mat compares to the Manduka charcoal mat. Your mom didn't even know she needed such a good mat, but she'll love this one! Because the mat is made with charcoal, it makes it non-slippery which is key in any kind of exercise session. It is also made of natural tree rubber, so it's eco-friendly and helps her feel more zen.

Fluffy Slippers

Who doesn’t love a pair of fluffy slippers? They are soft, they are comforting, they are warm and they are comfortable - and they don’t cost that much. For the amount of happiness, they will bring your mum, they will be worth every penny. Grab some faux fur slippers if you are on a budget or try some sheepskin slippers for a more luxurious gift - with a little investigation, you can get sheepskin clothing from farmers who take good care of the sheep. Your mum, who has probably been walking all day, will appreciate being able to enjoy her fluffy slippers every day - after a long day of walking, or better yet, relaxing after a bath.
