Whether it's as simple as handprint Christmas tree or as fun as a wine of the month club, here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing and put a smile on the well-deserving face of the mother in your life.
Personalized Photo Night Light
Here’s a very unique, creative gift for a mom of any age. A company called LightAffection.com will take a photograph of your choice (a photo of her child or children for example) and create a gorgeous silhouette night light from the photo. The cost is under $50 and it’s perfect for the mom who has everything!
Easy Handmade Gifts
Two of the easiest but most memorable homemade gift ideas center around photographs and handprints. Whether it is a coffee mug or a purse with her child or children’s images on it, moms love to have photos of their kids! Silver photo bracelets are easy to make using the tiny photos you receive when you order prints. Memorializing children through their handprints is another great gift theme. Kids can paint their handprints on pottery plates at a paint-your-own pottery studio, or simply trace multiple handprints of children onto green paper, cut out the handprints, arrange them upside down in a tree shape on a large piece of white felt and make keepsake Christmas trees.
Personalized Mother’s Ring
This ring from LimogesJewelry.com is made of sterling silver with gold overlay, and is set with the name and birthstones of cherished family members. Faceted Austrian crystals represent the months of the children’s births, and their names are carved beside their birthstones. The ring is under $75, making it an affordable option for a gift from a child or several children.
Messages in a Bottle
This is truly a unique, creative Christmas gift idea for the mom in your life and is also very inexpensive. A company called NoteableYou.com will create a lovely, lasting, and thoughtful gift of messages and personalized sentiments for your mother, adopted or surrogate mom, your grandmother or a new mother. The gift consists of a glass container (that can be upgraded to sterling silver) filled with messages to the mom. So, if a mom has kids of differing ages, you could collect written messages from her children and they will be printed and included in the keepsake box… something she will always treasure.
Gift of the Month Club
Another fantastic gift idea for a mom is a membership in a dinner of the month or other fun monthly club. ClubsGalore.com offers a huge variety of different options- you can give anything from three months of dinners to a chocolate, candle, wine, tea or cake of the month club! Even if it’s just for a few months, moms would love receiving such a creative, fun gift- and you can always ‘renew’ the subscription for Mother’s Day if she likes it!
Mothers are the most hard-working, underappreciated (and definitely underpaid!) group of people in the world. The holidays are an excellent opportunity to give a well-deserved thanks! for all they do throughout the year.
