Gift-giving can be tricky especially for mums who seem to have everything and we all know a few of those mums! How do you find something that’s thoughtful, personal, and guaranteed to make them smile? And it’s not just about Christmas gifts, it’s about any gift for those who are difficult to buy for. It can be tough to find the perfect gift but believe it or not, there are some gifts that are pretty much almost guaranteed to make your recipient happy. 

These are the kind of presents that people actually want, things that feel special, comforting, or fun without being over-the-top. So, if you’re looking to nail your next gift, here are some ideas that are sure to hit the mark, no matter your budget.

Luxuries That Feel Like a Treat

Which mum doesn’t love being spoiled a little? Consider gifting something that feels like a luxury but isn’t something that your recipient would buy for themselves. These are the kinds of things that we all covet but would never treat ourselves too. For example, think things like a silky robe, a beautifully scented candle, or even a silk weighted blanket.

These are all the kind of treats that we likely wouldn’t treat ourselves to but would love. And they don’t always have to be expensive just because they feel luxe. Luxury gifts come in all price ranges so just pick one that works for your budget.

The Gift of an Experience

Not every gift has to be a physical thing. Sometimes the best present is giving someone a memory they’ll cherish and this is one of my favourite gifts to give my mum friends who seem to have everything. You just can’t go wrong with memories because they are usually more cherished. For example, this can be something like tickets to a concert, a pottery class, or a day at a spa.

While experiences can be pricey, they don’t always have to be. If your budget is on the tighter side consider things like a gift basket with at-home spa stuff, a box with everything you need for a movie night in, or even a cute hot chocolate experience.

Food and Drink Gifts

You can never go wrong with food and drink gifts for anyone but especially so if your friend is a foodie. Think things like high-quality chocolates, a fancy bottle of wine, or a unique cheese board. These are the kinds of gifts that feel indulgent and will be appreciated by your recipient. You can even put these in a basket or a pretty box to make it feel even more fancy.

A Personal Touch Goes a Long Way

For mums who really have everything, adding a personal touch to a useful gift is a sure way to make it memorable. For example, gift a photo frame with a picture of a special moment, a monogrammed journal, or even book with a handmade bookmark that you made especially with your recipient in mind. It’s not about spending a lot, it’s about showing you’ve thought about them, and that’s why these personal touches go a long way.

Comfort Gifts Always Win

Needless to say, gifts that scream “cozy” are always appreciated. Things like fluffy socks, a quality diffuser with calming essential oils or a fluffy hot water bottle are perfect for creating that warm, comforting vibe. Most mums would appreciate gifts like these as they’re both useful and thoughtful.
