For the Mom who has everything – here are 10 Innovative Gifts For Your Mom that are sure to surprise and delight her this Mother’s Day!
Giving gifts is fun, isn’t it? It’s exciting to search for the perfect item for your recipient, and then watch the joy on their face as they open it. Honestly, the gift giver may actually be happier at this point!
However, some people can be hard to gift. Especially when it’s a person who has pretty much everything you can think of, and older people usually fall into this category. They’re not as enamored by material things as younger people are, and their tastes are more refined.
Since Mother’s Day is coming up, we’ve decided to tackle this problem for the Mom who has everything. Here are 10 innovative gifts for your Mom that she’s sure to love – especially as she won’t be expecting them at all!
10 Innovative Gifts For Your Mom
1. DIY Recipe Book
Few things are as comforting as a home-cooked meal by Mom, especially one of your childhood favorites. Many of her recipes were probably handed down by her mother and her grandmother before that. These family recipes need to be treasured, and a DIY recipe book is a great way to do it! Get a book or a box of recipe cards and fill it with Mom’s iconic recipes. She will absolutely love to see her precious recipes immortalized in such a pretty format!
2. Personalised Front Page
Speaking of innovative gifts for your Mom, has your Mom ever made it to the front page of the paper? If not, she can now! Many services like My Front Page Story can create custom newspaper front page prints that can be personalized down to the last detail – paper name, headlines, photos and more. Use the space to highlight some of Mom’s achievements or charac teristics, and frame it for a truly memorable keepsake!
3. Spa Date
Moms work hard all their lives, and your Mom is no different! They rarely take a chance to rejuvenate, so a spa date is a great gift for the overworked Mom. It’s also a fun bonding opportunity for Moms and daughters – let your sisters join in too if they’d like! Include all the services, so it’s a full package. It’ll be a great girls’ day out, which you can follow up with lunch out at a nice restaurant and a movie after that.
4. Custom Jewelry
No woman can ever have enough jewelry, but no matter how much she has, she’s not likely to have something custom-made just for her! Get her a personalized piece that features her name, or something that is dear to her. You can also get birthstone pendants or birth month flower necklaces. Get something made in a good quality material like sterling silver – these innovative gifts for your Mom should also last long!
5. Food Hamper
Moms are always checking in to see if you’ve eaten, and when you visit, she takes the time out to make your favorite meals. If your Mom rarely treats herself to her favorite foods, this is the perfect gift this Mother’s Day! Get her a gift box from her favorite confectioner or patisserie, something she wouldn’t buy for herself. Or you can buy an empty gift basket and fill it with all her favorite foods. If you’re really pressed for time, you can also find a readymade gift hamper.
6. Cozy Combo
If you’re looking for innovative gifts for your Mom who is a homebody, create a combo of cozy things that she can use around the house. Get a nice pair of soft, breathable pajamas, a pair of fluffy slippers and a matching eye mask to complete the set. If she lives in a warm place, a nice cotton kaftan with open sandals would be a great choice for her to lounge around at home.
7. Digital Photo Frame
Old-style photo frames are passe; we’re all about innovative gifts for your Mom today!

If your Mom is constantly on her feet, it’s quite likely that by the end of her day, her feet are giving her trouble. A foot massager is a great way to give her feet some much-needed TLC.

10. Health Checkup
Moms are on top of managing health and nutrition – for her family members. Most Moms tend to neglect all the little aches and pains they experience, which could be symptoms of something serious.
