Choosing a mother’s gift for the New Year, we experience a lot of positive emotions. I want to give her something useful and meaningful to show her love and care. The material in this article will help the reader make a choice, find the best option, or come up with an original solution.
Take into account age
Mom's age is one of the key factors determining the appropriateness of a particular gift. The presentation category will depend on him. For example, a young mother may be happy:
- a set of decorative cosmetics;
- a beautiful dress or tunic;
- modern gadget;
- concert tickets;
- a subscription to the pool for a month or more;
- expensive decoration;
- new stylish ladies bag;
- a neckerchief or stole;
- subscription to the fitness room.
An elderly mother will like a New Year's gift if it is, for example:
- bedding set;
- beautiful kitchen apron;
- set in the form of a scarf and mittens;
- original flowerpot for flowers;
- garden figurine of unusual shape;
- bathrobe or soft towel;
- a delicious cake or a set of chocolates with wishes.
Choosing this or that gift, you need to correlate age with status in society. For example, gifts for housewives and business women are different. In one case, it is advisable to purchase a recipe book, thanks to which mom will be able to try a lot of culinary novelties. Such a gift would be good for a woman who loves to cook.
In another case, the daily planner is more relevant, thanks to which a woman will be able to more rationally build her working regime or daily routine, noting the time of important meetings and other matters.
Interests
A gift is not picked up at random: they choose it thoroughly so that it is not a useless trinket. Those times when it was customary to give souvenirs, fridge magnets or figurines for filling cabinets, showcases are a thing of the past. You should not give something that is not useful: a gift that mother can use is much more important. Each time, taking it in her hands, she will think about you, about the moment of giving and the holiday. And these are the positive emotions that are so necessary for loved ones.
To give a useful thing, you need to take into account the interests of women. For example, creative natures like to draw, and this is often hindered by the price of high-quality supplies. Not every woman can buy expensive art paints, canvas and brushes. By giving them to her, you can fulfill her dream.
If mom likes to cook, you can give her household appliances that will simplify the work in the kitchen and make her more comfortable. Carefully select the functionality of the product to buy exactly what you need. For example, you can look at buying a good slow cooker or even a bread machine with options for kneading and making jam. An original gift can be a transparent toaster, which eliminates the possibility of burning bread.
If mom likes to do needlework, she probably has a corner with all sorts of things. As a rule, there are always shreds, threads, pins, ribbon trimmings and other small things. However, if you give her a ready-made quality set for needlework in the technique that she loves, this gift will be special. Engaged in creative work using the components of the kit, the mother will think about you with more love.
Pay attention to the fact why a woman is engaged in a particular job. If she is her joy, this is an occasion for a gift. But if it is more a necessity, it is necessary to facilitate the work than to overwhelm it with even more work.
Pay attention to the little things: perhaps the mother has broken glasses, but there are no new ones. Or, for example, you can give her new ones for home or for an outlet. In this case, you can know in advance what is the size of the diopters, plus or minus is needed, what is the value. Perhaps she needs an apparatus to change the pressure due to the fact that the old one has already failed.
Be attentive to her health. Perhaps she has a sore back or neck. Then you can buy a special orthopedic pillow, due to which mother’s sleep will be relieved and the load on the spine will be relieved. If her blood circulation is disturbed, she can constantly freeze. In this case, buy her a warm sweater or soft bathrobe.
Do not take what seems good to you: think about it, about what will be good for her.
Traditional and original presentations
Choosing a gift for mom depends on various factors. For example, one of them is the age of the children, because it is the price of the gift that largely depends on it. It is one thing when a son or daughter stands firmly on their feet, have a good job. Here you can give an expensive item. But if children make a present, that’s completely different.
Young children congratulate their mother in words, some of them draw their touching cards, where they write that they love their mother. Perhaps these are the most valuable gifts, because the main meaning of the gift is embedded in them - love for the mother. School children can give their mother a beautiful greeting card with wishes. Often, without money, they resort to making a gift with their own hands. For example, it could be:
- Christmas tree made of paper;
- papier-mache figurine decorated with decoupage napkins or decopatch;
- crocheted napkin;
- knitted scarf;
- home-made casket for all sorts of things;
- handmade Christmas tree toy;
- own cushion;
- handmade soap made from a ready-made set;
- Christmas tack;
- Christmas cone topiary;
- candles using decoupage technique.
Children with imagination present their gifts in an unusual way. For example, they can make a postcard in the form of a laptop by writing a wish on its stylized screen. Someone can make an unusual garland by writing on each of its elements a special wish for mom. Others decorate the room for the New Year on their own, hiding surprises with wishes. Such presentations are valued better than others, because they say a lot about children's feelings.
With age, children have their own pocket money, and therefore they want to buy something ready-made and necessarily important for mom. Due to the small budget, they are trying to choose something useful. For example, they buy:
- a set of jars for spices or bulk products;
- bath bombs, detergents;
- a set of towels for the kitchen or face and hands;
- cosmetics for face or hair care;
- a set of cakes that mom likes;
- tasty candy;
- kitchen apron;
- an album for family photos;
- frame for a portrait;
- photo collage in the form of photo frames combined into a single composition;
- a set of Christmas toys;
- warm mittens and scarf.
Children's gifts cannot be called traditional, because each of them is unique in its own way. For example, one cannot call an ordinary half-card postcard sealed in a huge envelope. Such a letter "from Santa Claus" mom will definitely like it. On it you can not only draw a picture: you can make a photo collage with wishes.
And if you approach the work creatively, then you can take any fairy tale as the basis, making all members of the family its heroes.

Do not save on fakes, because such spirits do not have an exquisite train. In addition, no remake can be compared with real perfumes. They are not sold at bottling, they are quite persistent and distinguish a woman from the crowd.

For example, you can buy a gift mirror with LED backlight.This will simplify mother's care and allow her to see herself better when applying makeup. As for styling products, You can purchase a good hairdryer with several drying modes.
If the city has a good stylist, give your mom his advice. He will help you choose a fresh look, choose the best type and length of hairstyle, show how best to paint at a specific age, teach you how to choose wardrobe elements so that they always look at their best.
An unusual solution may be sofa cushion with a family photo. You need to order it in advance by choosing a company that can make high-quality and durable photo printing. You can order a banner poster on the wall with the image of the whole family. However, in this case, you will have to think through the fasteners.
You can give mom a professional manicure. Today this service can be carried out at home, however, in the salon, the client has the opportunity to have a wider choice of color scheme and design. Such a gift will remain in mother’s memory for a long time, and you, perhaps, can thereby fulfill one of her desires, which she is unlikely to afford.
If finances allow, you can buy a mother set for professional manicure. Be sure to look at the power of the lamp so that it dries the coatings well, select the beautiful colors of gel polish, design elements. You can take a kit with the device, although it will cost more.
However, as practice shows, it will significantly reduce the time for processing nails, and reduce the risk of injury to the cuticle.
Health care
There are situations when you want to give something soft and warm. An excellent solution can be a high-quality plaid. Today it can be the most diverse. For example, you can buy a winter-summer fleece or a so-called “two in one” option. If desired, it can be used as a winter blanket.
If you unfasten a thick and soft layer, you can get a light blanket into which you can wrap yourself, sitting in an armchair or on the couch, sitting down to rest.
If desired, you can choose a model with a hood or sleeves. Such products are unusual, they can be paired, but this is a great solution that will be in demand both in winter and in the demi-season season, when there is no heating, but the house is cold.
If you have the opportunity to purchase home pressure measuring instruments, it will be very handy, like inhaler. This useful thing is useful for treating cough, which often makes itself felt as a complication of colds. Someone may need a device for determining the level of sugar. Such items help to identify the problem in time so as not to waste time solving it.
Budget Presents
If you are limited in funds, you can choose an inexpensive gift. However, it should be useful. For example, you can buy a protective glass or a cover on your mother’s phone. You can update it taking into account the color preferences of the mother by choosing a design with a New Year's design. If mom prefers a sleek design, it’s enough to pick up something practical. A good gift can be a new charger for the phone.
However, you need to select it correctly, given the parameters of the phone itself. For example, you should not take the option with fast charging, since such a product does not hold a charge well, and therefore the phone will quickly discharge. As for the length of the cord, it can be either classic or long.
You can give a sweet surprise. For example, it can be Mom’s favorite cookies or chocolates. It is not at all necessary to surprise with quantity: the main thing is your concern. Let's say you can pick up the finished version in a small package (for example, in the form of candy, stars, chest or animal figures).
An original and inexpensive gift can be a pair of gloves with touch fingers. They cost no more than three hundred rubles, but if someone calls while mom is on the street, she will not have to take off her gloves and freeze her hands. This is a good gift and care for mother's health. It is better to choose a color with a jacket or a scarf.
It should be borne in mind that it should be in harmony, but not match tone to tone.
A nursing mother, who, in addition to the baby, already has adult daughters, can be gifted with baby care products. At this time, even a trifle can become an indispensable gift. For example, you can give her special clothes for feeding, a breast pump, bottles, a bathrobe, comfortable clothes. However, these gifts are personal, and therefore, before buying them, you can carefully inquire whether mom will understand such a present.
To produce the effect of surprise, do not forget about the packaging. The present can be put in a small box, complemented by a small card with the wishes of happiness and health. Even if it is a simple or symbolic gift, for example, lipstick or mascara, but in the package it will look very different, more solemn.
List of ideas for the godmother and mother-in-law
Choosing a gift for the godmother or mother-in-law is a separate issue. It all depends on the degree of closeness of the relationship. For example, there are cases when a mother-in-law refers to her daughter-in-law as a mother. And therefore, the relationship between them is trusting and warm.
