‘There is no remedy for love but to love more.’ – Thoreau
Love is one of the most beautiful feelings in the world. And, thanks to a Christian martyr called St. Valentine who once lived long ago, we have a yearly commemoration.
While it may be restricted to love between intimate partners today, Valentine’s Day is certainly beyond erotic love. Considering that love is unconditional, Valentine’s is an opportunity to show everyone around you compassion as one deserving of kindness.
Besides, who says gifts are only for your significant other?
Since we’re on about all things motherhood, we bring you this list of gift ideas. With these gifts, the gesture is not only well-thought-out but will put a smile on every mom’s face.
Necklace with Kids Date of Birth/Names
What better item to gift a doting mom than a necklace that always brings her precious little ones to mind? She’ll wear it everywhere she goes, taking the keepsake to work, the grocery store or even on vacation when the children are back home.
Cleaning Service/Organizing Service
Only a few other things in the world beat the craziness that comes with having toddlers running around or throwing a tantrum while you’re trying to multi-task. Take the stress off an overwhelmed mom by helping her sort out the cleaning for a weekend (And she won’t ever forget it!). Neighbourhood janitorial services come in handy for this service.
Gift Card on Moms and Mamas
This is like a blank cheque. We may not always know what a mom wants (you’d probably have to walk a mile in her shoes to find out), but she certainly knows. And the chances are that she has a list tucked somewhere with infant sleep aid as the topmost priority. In this case, this mom just wants her baby to sleep more so she can have a little more ‘me-time’. With gift cards from Moms and Mamas, help a mom get whatever she wants without having to rack your brain.
Diamond Earrings
Home Spa Service/Spa Appointment
Trust us when we say that nothing beats bringing the comfort right where she is. With a spa appointment – whether onsite or home service, you’ll be giving that mom the gift of relaxation.
Box of Roses
Gift the mom in your life with a ‘scent from heaven’ with a box of roses. With a history dating centuries back, floral arrangements and bouquets are a way of expressing love, appreciation, and devotion amongst others. For Valentine’s Day, the unspoken rule is that red roses are a perfect choice!
iPhone 11 Pro
For the mom who loves pictures, what better gift can you give her than the opportunity to capture precious moments with her family? This mom will be swiping through pictures in years to come with gratitude.
Best Wife T-shirt
Who doesn’t love a teeny-weeny hype? This shirt is the perfect gift any husband can get for his wife. It not only attests to the love you share, but it also screams that you think she’s the best!
Alexa (Amazon)
Widely known the world over – with over 100 million Alexa-enabled devices sold, Alexa is Amazon’s virtual assistant AI. With Alexa, you’ll be gifting a mom with the ability to get music playback, create to-do lists, set alarms, stream podcasts, play audiobooks, and providing weather, traffic, and other real-time information all through voice interaction. Here’s a wow factor. Alexa can also control several smart devices using itself as a home automation system – a great feature to home security for a mom six floors up with a baby carrier and a toddler to grapple with.
Lamicall Cell Phone Dock
Every mom needs to keep her phone out of reach at some point in time. Help her make it easy with this phone stand and dock that sits pretty anywhere – bathroom, patio or corridor or even while charging.
Book – 14,000 Things to be Happy About
Carefully curated over 20 years, this bestselling self-help book brings together both the random and the real when it comes to finding reasons for happiness. In between never-ending chores and school runs, this book will stand as a reminder for every mom’s that even as she tends her brood, she can still be genuinely happy. The book is available on Amazon.
Silk Pajamas
Getting into bed after a long hard day – whether at the boardroom or doing mummy duties, has to be one of the most anticipated events of the day (every day and worldwide too!). Help a mom lounge when she’s in ‘home-mode’ and sleep easy later in the day with these silk pajamas.
Michael Kors Handbag
Ever heard the saying, ‘Behind every successful woman is a fabulous bag’? We think that’s enough said. A Michael Kors bag that packs up everything she needs all day can do the talking.
Box of Chocolates
Nothing says ‘Happy Valentine’s’ more than a box of chocolates. Up the ante with personalized quotes and inscriptions that mean a whole lot to her. After all, even moms are not immune to having a sweet tooth.
Ceramic Steamer
With growing children, there’s a need for an endless supply of delicious and nourishing meals day after day. But where goes the consideration for supermom’s time? With this ceramic steamer, making one-pot recipes and re-heating food becomes easier.
MacBook
If you know a mom who’s an aspiring blogger or vlogger or who’s got a thing for content creation (we can relate, lol), then gifting her a MacBook will surely sit well with her. We’ll be waiting for your ‘Thank You’ note right after you see her priceless reaction. You’re welcome.
Digitized Photo Album
Giving a mom a digitized photo album in which she can freeze family history (or better still, you can capture special moments and upload them beforehand) most certainly qualifies as a timeless gift.
Essential Oils
For the mom who is big on looking good and cares a great deal about how she looks, these come highly recommended. Bath bombs and other self-care products are also great alternatives. Cop a bottle of lavender or rosehip oil to keep her skin shining log after the commemoration of Valentine’s.
Jewelry Travel Case
For the mom who’s always on the road, a jewelry travel case helps her keep all ornamental pieces arranged just like her box of clothes and her itinerary.
Kitchen Appliances
Help a mom get ahead of the ever-busy morning routines with simple home appliances that can help her get the job done quicker and with less stress – a juicer, easy soup maker, mini chopper or air fryer can make things a tad bit more effortless on a hectic morning.
——————————————————————
When all is said and done, these gifts are simply reminders of how much moms mean to us, whoever they are in our lives – wives, moms, sisters, friends and even acquaintances. Moms are super-duper amazing people to whom we owe a lot and can never repay.
Make this Valentine’s memorable with these incredible gift ideas. But more than that, make it a constant act of service to speak a kind word, help out in any way possible and affirm your care and concern whether or not it’s Valentine’s Day.
