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?
- 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.

- Jewely – A simple piece of jewelry that goes with anything like this MAMA Necklace or Pearl Earrings.
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 neckland 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.
