The perfect gift for mother
Mom’s the best! By Mother’s Day at the latest, most children remember that they want to make their mother happy. Even if many mothers certainly do not want to admit it to themselves: on Mother’s Day most of them expect a little something from their children. But what is the best way to surprise your mother? What is the perfect Mother’s Day gift?
Mother’s Day gifts: The classics
Are Easter presents suitable Mother’s Day presents? Yes, because not surprisingly flowers and chocolates are also among the most popular gifts. And to be perfectly honest: flowers, in particular, are not a bad idea. A colourful bouquet requires little creativity, makes your mom happy – and you can get it at every corner (by the way, a pretty vase would be good for that, too!)
Flowers: But a very specific variety, please
Flowers are especially practical for all those who have forgotten when the day of days is actually celebrated (little tip: it’s always the second Sunday in May) and are looking for Mother’s Day presents at the last minute so that they don’t end up at mother’s door empty-handed. If you know your mother’s favourite variety, you can’t go wrong.
Chocolate makes mom happy
In addition to flowers, chocolate in all its variations is also one of the tops of the Mother’s Day gifts. Important: When it comes to chocolate and other sweet treats, you should be very sure what mummy likes – and then you can make chocolate yourself. Individually and with heart ❤️. Otherwise, in the end it is an attention that is meant nicely, but most likely ends up in the drawer.
What is mom happy about?
Apart from flowers and chocolates – what kind of gift is really nice for mum? Probably the simplest answer to this question is: a gift set of attention and time.
Pay a visit to your mother
You haven’t visited your mother or your parents for a while? Then stop by, bring a (homemade) cake and just take some time. Mums are especially happy about the visit of their grown-up children, especially if you don’t see each other very often. Maybe you are planning a visit to grandma together? These gifts are the best Mother’s Day presents ever!
Send a card for Mother’s Day
Those who live too far away should send out a Mother’s Day card in good time. A personalized little gesture that shows I haven’t forgotten you (and this day) because I care about you. If you have time, you can call in addition. By the way, dads are also happy about a little bit of attention on Father’s Day.

Gives time for two
Also a nice gift idea: Pack your mother in the car and take her to a nice café or restaurant. For mother-daughter duos, the weekend is also suitable for a relaxing wellness trip or a short holiday with an overnight stay in a hotel for which there might otherwise be hardly any time. Another idea is to organise a photo shoot with mum – because such a shared photo will last forever – the perfect personalised Mother’s Day gift!
Personalized gift ideas
It is especially cool if you then have the photo processed into a mug, a pillow, a mobile phone cover, a lantern or a glass photo, possibly with engraving. The company Personello, for example, makes engraved gifts. But of course the photo also looks good in a showcase. By the way: Something personalizable is actually ALWAYS a good idea. No matter what the occasion!
Do-it-yourself: DIY gift ideas for mom
Personal DIY gifts surprise mothers especially on their special day. Design a personal gift according to your own skills. Whether it’s a homemade packaging, such as a gift box with different kinds of homemade pastries, homemade bath salts for some relaxation or simply loving Mother’s Day poems on a homemade card. Personalised, homemade gifts are not only fun, but also bring joy to the person receiving them.
Not only on Mother’s Day: Make your mother happy on EVERY occasion
Which present for which occasion?
- Birthday: Here it may be a slightly larger gift, for which you can also gladly share with dad, your siblings and other relatives. Fulfil your mum’s heart’s desire or look for ideas related to her interests – after all, it’s her birthday.
- Christmas: Smaller gifts are the right thing to give, and preferably with a personal touch. If you’re creative and have scrapbooking, sewing, knitting and other hobbies, you’ll find it easy. If not, personalised Christmas gifts, such as a slate heart with a slogan, are also a good choice. In general, a loving message is more important than the price of a gift and the fact that it is something personalizable.
Our advice: That you listen to your mom should be a matter of course. From now on, keep your eyes and ears open – and make a note as soon as possible if you come up with a fancy gift idea.
