Struggling to find a gift for Mother’s Day? Read our guide to find your mom the perfect gift

Mothers Day is just weeks away, and you might be feeling the stress of finding the perfect gift for your Mum. You want to convey to your mum how much she means to you, but what gift does that? Read further to find out all the elements to blow your mom away with the perfect gift this Mother’s Day!

If you think that the perfect gift has to have a certain price tag, brand or has to be elaborate, you’ve got it all wrong! It can be so much smaller and simpler. Think about it: what are the gifts you remember best? Is it the fancy watch, or is it the teddy bear you got from your parents as a kid? Most people will remember the latter more fondly. That’s because it has something money can’t buy: sentimental value! It holds a memory of one of the happiest times in your life, childhood.

So now you know that the best gifts aren’t necessarily the ones with the most monetary value, but what other elements make the perfect gift?

Being memorable is the key element for the perfect gift! You can make a gift memorable in many ways, and it doesn’t involve splurging with many or extravagance. The painful truth is that many people will forget about the expensive jewellery, clothes or cars if there’s no sentimental thought behind them. People love to know that their loved ones are thinking about them and what they want and like.

So when thinking of a gift for Mothers Day, forget about getting her the largest and most extravagant thing. Think of her hobbies, her likes and dislikes, maybe something she always wanted to do or something she needs. Those are the gifts that people remember! The reason for that is that it shows that you’re thinking about the other person and that their feelings matter to you. It’s always the seemingly ‘’smaller’’ things that count!

Of course, the eye always wants something too. Making your gift pretty doesn’t have to be the gift itself. You can also make the package pretty. Present your gift with a nice handwritten card, wrap it up in a festive way or get some flowers or chocolates with it. The presentation also counts.

Practical gifts might not sound very exciting, but they have a hidden power! Practical gifts are something people need, and if your mom ever mentioned needing a new cutting board, getting her a new one will also spark sentimental feelings. Why? Because again: you’re showing her that you listen and remember what she says! Such a simple thing can mean so much.

We’re getting to a theme, huh? If you’ve done it right and applied the last few steps in looking for a gift, you’ve already made your gift plenty personal. You can also take this a little more literal and personalize your gift for mom. Just to name a little example (and make a shameless self-plug), you can engrave her new cutting board!

Don’t know what to engrave yet? Well, we have these ideas for you to take inspiration from:

• Her name
