Best Christmas Gifts for Mom in 2018
Moms play such a special role in our lives so it’s natural to want to give them a gift they’ll really love. However, it can be challenging to find the “right” gift from all the ideas and choices out there. That’s why I put together this list of the best Christmas gifts for mom for 2018.
Forget the fuzzy slippers or cheesy coffee mug and instead get her a meaningful gift she’ll truly enjoy.
Amazon’s Echo Show
Mom doesn’t have to be tech-savvy to fall in love with this awesome device. The Amazon Echo Show has all the awesome functionality of Amazon’s voice-activated personal assistant Alexa with so much more.
The best feature, in my opinion, is the video chatting feature, which makes it perfect for mom to stay connected with loved ones who live far away.
But it would also make a great addition to mom’s kitchen, command center, or the living room. You can stream videos from all your favorite platforms with a much higher quality audio than any tablet.
Essential Oils Set with Diffuser
Everyone – not just moms – can reap tons of benefits from aromatherapy. The aromatic effect of essential oils can be calming, relaxing, energizing, and even help you sleep better. Give the mom in your life a gift set of assorted essential oils with a diffuser. It’ll be a welcome addition to her living room, bedroom, or office.
HelloFresh Subscription
Give mom the gift of quality time and amazing food. A subscription to HelloFresh is a great way to enjoy spending time in the kitchen, trying delicious new recipes that can be cooked together.
This gift will give you a way to connect and make fun new memories together. Just be sure to include the cherry on top and do the dishes afterwards!
Right now when you sign up for HelloFresh you can save $60.
Other great cooking subscription options to try would be Home Chef or Blue Apron.
Custom Printed Photo on Canvas
Nothing beats giving your mom the gift of a cherished memory. Sites like CanvasPeople make it easy to turn your most beloved photos into high-quality canvas prints that look like they belong in an art gallery.
Plus, the way the canvas wraps around the frame means that your custom print will look fantastic with any type of decor. Get your favorite pictures out of your phone and onto a print so your mom can proudly display them!
Hip Sister
If you haven’t heard us complain lately, I just want to remind you that women’s clothing always seems to lack pockets. Give the active mom in your life the gift of more pockets during her workouts – a Hip Sister belt.
These are lightweight, stretchy, and can be easily added over or under your mom’s preferred athletic gear. This makes them perfect for moms who run, bike, hike or do any kind of activity where being hands-free is important.
They’re also a great accessory for moms who travel often; they have all the functionality of a fanny pack with a hundred times more style and comfort.
Wine Saver Vacuum Pump
Give mom a bottle of her favorite wine and this handy gadget that will keep an open bottle fresh for days at a time. It’s a simple but brilliant tool that creates a new vacuum seal by pumping out the excess air from an open bottle of wine.
Use the provided stoppers to recork the bottle and keep it fresh for that next well-deserved glass! This is a great gift for any mom who appreciates a nice glass of wine every now and then.
Amazon Kindle E-Reader
For the book-loving mom in your life, consider an Amazon Kindle e-reader. Even the simplest models offer hours or even weeks of battery life with a single charge. Plus, they have the storage capacity for hundreds of your mom’s favorite books.
Most libraries have online e-reader books your mom can “check out” and read on the go by downloading to her Kindle. And Amazon Prime members can download hundreds of books for free!
But if you want to make this gift even more special, make sure to include a gift card so that your mom can start downloading and reading exactly what she wants right away.
Last but not least, remember that it’s the thought that counts. Making the mom in your life feel special is the most important part. So with any gift, make sure to include a heartfelt note about how much she means to you. The memories will last years longer than any gift!
