1. Hobby Classes
Whether Mom loves to paint, bake, cook, or take photographs, find a hobby class in her area that can help her sharpen her skills — and simply spend time doing something she enjoys. If you live nearby, plan a class for the two of you to take together.
2. Spa Day
Moms can always use more R&R (rest and relaxation, that is), so why not gift her a spa day? Schedule a massage, facial, mani and pedi or get all the supplies together to host your own spa day at home.
3. Yoga Membership
Speaking of rest and relaxation, help Mom recharge with passes to a local yoga studio. If your mom already has a space for yoga at home, gift her digital memberships with yoga instructors, or give her practice a boost with extra yoga accessories, like a new mat, yoga blocks, straps or other helpful tools.
4. Weekend Getaway
If your Mom enjoys traveling, why not put together everything she’ll need for a weekend trip? Book a hotel or cabin, or send her a gift card for a home rental company, like Airbnb or VRBO. Make restaurant reservations or schedule activities, and send Mom on her way with the itinerary.
5. National Parks Pass
Similarly, for nature- and travel-loving Moms, get a National Parks Pass. This is sure to be a hit and will encourage Mom to get out into the great outdoors and explore the country. You can pair this gift with guidebooks, new hiking boots, a handy reusable water bottle or other fun hiking essentials.
6. E-reader
Moms who love to read will enjoy a new e-reader, so they can easily download the classics and the latest releases. Plus, these devices are easy to pack and use anywhere, whether on the couch, by a pool or on a plane.
7. Espresso Machine
If your Mom is rarely seen without a latte in hand, it’s time to upgrade her morning cup of joe (and save her money on runs to the nearest cafe) with an espresso machine. For an extra-luxe gift, pair it with coffee beans, a mug and a coffee bean grinder.
8. Hydroponic Garden
Instead of (or in addition to) flowers, why not treat your Mom to a gift that keeps on giving? A hydroponic garden can be used to grow herbs and other small plants with minimal water or natural light needed. With this, your mom can grow all types of plants for years to come, even if she doesn’t have a green thumb.
