Mother’s Day is around the corner and you might find it difficult to find the perfect Mother’s Day gifts for your parent. It’s important to consider her preferences when you select and buy gifts. Here are some Mother’s Day gifts that you can get for your loved one this Mother’s Day!
Digital Photos
It’s highly likely that your mom still has drawers full of photos that she accumulated over the years. Assuming you have a scanner, you can scan those photos and gift them to your mother! It won’t cost you much and you can spend time bonding with her over her favorite past-time or family memories.
Tutor Her on Social Media
Helping your loved one create a social media profile and showing her how to use it is also a meaningful and free gift idea. Learning how to use social media will teach her a way to connect with her old friends and loved ones. She can even make use of the images you digitized for her. However, it’s important to teach her about Internet privacy and safety as the elderly are more vulnerable to online scams and fake news.
Memory Jar
If your mom prefers thoughtful, handmade gifts, why not do a memory jar? All you’ll need is a good jar, small pieces of paper, and some time to think about what you want to write. Write down a distinct memory that you had with your mother on each piece of paper before folding it and placing them in the jar.
Photo Bouquet
Instead of the typical flower bouquet, twist it up and gift your loved one a photo bouquet! You can include memorable photos of your loved ones in the bouquet and design them by cutting floral shapes from construction paper and pasting the photo cut-outs in the center of each flower. If you’re using childhood photos, try making color copies of them or simply take and print new digital images.
Headphones
If you’re looking for gifts that are more practical and useful, you can give your mother a pair of headphones! Modern earbuds can be a pain for your loved one. Many individuals may find them irritating, particularly those who are using hearing aids that go over their ears. If your mom spends a lot of her time watching shows or enjoys listening to music, it would be more practical to gift headphones.
Cooling Pillow
You can also opt to get your loved one a cooling pillow if your budget allows it. A cooling pillow will keep her cool by preventing heat retention and providing a temperature-neutral sleeping surface. It’s designed to remove heat and promote ventilation to avoid heat retention which is great for people who find themselves getting warm often. The materials are often moisture-wicking and breathable.
