Things to Get Your Mom for Her Birthday
- If you think your mom deserves some time to relax and unwind, then getting a spa day for her is a way to do this. If you are well off, you can make it into a spa weekend, where your mom will stay overnight in a resort and be pampered. Spa days usually involve aromatherapy, massages and beauty treatments. If your mom likes these sorts of things a spa day will be a good gift for her.
- Being a mother is intrinsically linked with the idea of birth. If your mother likes jewelry, then buying her a birthstone is a personal and lasting gift. Look up your mother's birthstone, based on her month of birth, and buy her one of these. There are a variety of birthstones for each month, meaning that even if you don't have the budget for a diamond if your Mom was born in April, you can buy her quartz jewelry.
- If you still live at home, and you think your mom deserves a lie-in, make her breakfast in bed. Tell her the night before that this is what you are planning so she will stay in bed in the morning. Buy a luxury breakfast, with pastries and fresh fruit. Buy something that your mom doesn't usually have for breakfast so that she will enjoy the birthday treat. You can give her a birthday card with her breakfast.
- If you do not have a lot of money, then search through your old photos for a picture of yourself and your siblings that you think your mom will enjoy. Make a photo frame, if you are skilled with wood or other materials, or buy one from a store. Put the picture in the frame and wrap it. This is a cheap but effective gift, since your mom will be able to put it on her desk and be constantly reminded of you.
