My mom is one of my favorite people on my list to buy for because there are always tons of fun items to gift her! I usually have too many ideas, which makes it hard to narrow it down and not spoil her too much 🙈. In case you’re like me and need some help narrowing it down to a few really great items, or you’re not sure where to start at all- this gift guide is for you! I hope these options help to spark some ideas and give you the option to stay within whatever budget you’ve set for yourself, if it’s $50 or $500, you’ll find something she’s going to love here! And the best part is that so many of these options can be gifted to lots of ladies on your list: mom, grandma, mother-in-law, sister, friend, etc.!
With so many amazing candle sets and perfume sets out for the holidays, you’re bound to find something perfect! Roller balls and mini candle sets are also super affordable and you can gift a scent you know she’ll love. There are also tons of super awesome gift sets out right now that make such pretty gifts. I am in love with this My Burberry perfume set solely because of the bottle (but the scent is pretty great too 😉). It comes with a full-size perfume, lotion, and rollerball for her purse or travel! And my favorite candle to gift just about anyone is this one! ‘Volcano’ is a classic year-round scent that I burn in my house constantly and the jar is gorgeous!
UGG Boots are always one of the most gifted items for the holidays, and for good reason! They’re such a great gift whether you choose to wear them just at home, or style them with a cute outfit to wear out. My mom personally has several classic pairs, including these & these, but I think she would love this newer style with bows on the back! House slippers are another really great option that will be loved by any mom who just wants to be cozy! I love these from Pottery Barn and they’re under $20!
Pajamas make such a great gift for any age! They are the perfect option if you are really unsure what to get your momma, grandma, or mother-in-law. And this time of year when everyone loves something cozy! If you’re wanting to gift her a festive set for Christmas, be sure to check out this post I did on the Best Christmas Pajamas, but I love this classic set for any age, year round. I personally own them in multiple colors and they are so soft and cozy…and the perfect price point!
There is nothing better than a super cozy throw blanket! One of my mom’s favorite home gifts are throw blankets and she can never have too many. I like picking out a color I know will work in her home so she can style it over a chair or in a cute basket (this one is under $30 and comes in a ton of colors). Another item I’m really excited to gift this year is an Instant Pot! We love ours and it makes dinner such a breeze; it’s something any mom would totally love! And if you’re in the mood to splurge on mom this year, this retro stand mixer is so stinking cute!
Travel accessories are such a great gift for a mom you know travels often, or has a big trip coming up. A great luggage set, or these cute packing cubes are super useful (if you’ve never packed with packing cubes, it’s a must-have!) and come in tons of different color options so you’ll definitely find something she loves. You could even put together a little travel set for her: an overnight bag, packing cubes, passport cover & luggage tag, and reusable water bottle for her to use on her next trip!
Oversized sweaters, cozy cardigans and ponchos are another great gift option because the sizing is much more generous, and you don’t have to be too exact. If she doesn’t have of these Barefoot Dreams cardigans, you must get one for her!! It will definitely be her favorite gift of the season and she will wear it non-stop over the coming months. Might as well buy one for yourself while you’re at it because you may not be able to give it up 😉. I also love this super cozy chenille sweater that comes in a bunch of colors and can be worn with leggings or jeans (under $50!)!
We’re about to be right in the middle of winter, so scarves are one of my favorite things to gift just about any woman on my list, including my mom or mother-in-law! Scarves require no sizing info, so it’s really about finding something you think will suit her style! They also can range so much in price, which is super helpful when sticking to that holiday shopping budget. You can even add them to a gift you’re already giving her as something a little extra. For a splurge option, I am drooling over this one, but if you are looking for a more budget friendly option, this one is under $25 and will go with everything!
My mom is the hardest to shop for! She has everything. I love your gift guide, so many great ideas!
