Wondering what to get your mom for Christmas, Mother’s Day, or her birthday? Or perhaps you are dating a single mom and unsure what kind of gift to give here. Here are some things I have gotten more recently that I think would be an excellent gift for mom or for a single mom.
You will notice a resounding theme for most of these items, many of them make life easier. Moms are tired, especially single moms so get them something that makes their life easier or pampers them.
Christmas Gifts for Mom
- Throw Blanket: Who doesn’t need a blanket? When you do not know what to give someone this is always a good choice.
- Family Name Sign: Custom signs are always a nice gift to get.
- Instant Pot: These are still all the rage on Pinterest and will save moms time.
- Revlon Hair Dryer & Styler: Another item that will save mom time! The Revlon Hair Dryer Brush is also great.
- Jewelry – A simple piece of jewelry that goes with anything like Pearl Earrings. Kendra Scotty makes some beautiful jewelry. Shop Kendra Scott Bracelets
If you are considering jewelry, I suggest going with pearls or a simple necklace. A pair of pearl earrings can go with almost any outfit as can a gold necklace and let’s face it, it is hard to pick out jewelry for a woman. That’s why I suggest going with something classic. I wear them with everything.
- Tory Burch Handbag: Super sassy, crossbody purse.
- Portable Power Charger: A slim charger that won’t weigh you down.
- Echo Dot
- Temperature Control Smart Mug
- Ancestry DNA Kit
- Barefoot Dreams Cardigan – picking out clothes for someone is not easy. Stick with a neutral cardigan. I guarantee she will be able to pair it with somethings in her closet.
- UGG Fleece Lined Socks
- Gold Bangle Bracelet
- Wooden Bathtub Tray
- Love Knot Earrings
- What I Love About Mom Journal
- Spa Finder Gift Card: Send mom to get a massage!
- Kate Spade Leather Watch
- Striped Pajamas
- Chanel Perfume
- Tempur-Pedic Pillow
- Gucci Card Case: A slim cardholder.
- Mom Life Mug: Any cute mug makes a good gift.
- Urban Decay Eye Shadow Palette: A nice palette is always something that is useful.

So maybe giving someone appliances does not seem romantic, but having a washer and dryer with large capacity capabilities is life-changing for a mom. She can go from doing 10 loads of laundry a week to only 3 or 4. I know this because that’s what happened to me when I got them!!

Wine
You can’t go wrong with a bottle of wine. It can be a little difficult to pick out wine for someone if you do not know their tastes. I have a few I can recommend.
Mionetto’s Prosecco is a good bet when you do not know someone’s wine preference. Here are two anyone would enjoy.
- Prosecco DOC Trevi so Brut has aromatic notes of honey and acacia blossom, this wine can be served chilled on its own or used to create your own holiday champagne cocktails.
- Mionetto’s Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG is a luxury sparkling wine boasting a rich array of sensory impressions such as green apple, pear, emphatic citrus, and spring wildflowers.
Succulents 
Succulents require little to no care and are they easily brighten up a space, even a small space. Moms will appreciate having planets that do not take a lot of time and effort to care for. These also make for a great DIY project such as succulents arrangements. They come in various shape and size, can fit in small space as well as make good centerpieces for the room.
Foreo or Foreo Mini
A Foreo is a little device you use while washing your face. It’s a nice item for moms to pamper themselves a bit. I love mine.
