What’s on Mom’s Wish List

Let’s be honest: moms are kind of the backbone of the whole Christmas shebang. From making sure the kids have cute and festive pajamas that aren’t too itchy to sleep in, to organizing outings to see the town’s new decorative displays, to picking out shiny wrapping paper that will ultimately get ripped to shreds in literal seconds on Christmas morning, moms have got holiday cheer down. They put a lot of work into making the season fun for their families and they deserve to unwrap a thoughtful gift that shows appreciation for all they do. Below are gift ideas that go above and beyond to make the moms in your life feel special.

Self-Care

Moms are always taking care of others, and alone time can be rare. Gift a spa day voucher, or go the extra mile and book an appointment on a day you know she’s free so that she doesn’t put off taking a day to herself. To make the present more fun to open, put together a box of face masks, nail polishes, and a nice robe–that way the spa day doesn’t have to end after her appointment!

Girls Night Out

When was the last time she got to hang out with her closest friends without worrying about her family? Arrange for childcare (or offer to do it yourself!) and give her a gift card to her favorite restaurant. To lift the burden of organizing yet another thing on her schedule, reach out to her friends and find a time that works for them to all meet up. On Christmas morning, let her know that everything has been planned and that all she has to do is show up and have fun.

Invest in Her Hobbies

There are endless options when it comes to encouraging her passions. Is she a reader? Get her the newest book by her favorite author. Does she enjoy crafting? Buy supplies for her next project. By investing in the activities she enjoys most, you can show her that you care about her interests. Take it to the next level by booking her a special class for her hobby. Denver has a lot to offer in the realm of hobby classes; check out DIY workshops at Upstairs Circus where she can craft while sipping on a yummy drink, or look into a tea blending class at Fleur Denver that will teach her to create a custom blend.

Closet Makeover

Help her prioritize her sense of identity through fashion! Clothes that are good quality, fit well, and make her feel like herself are a wonderful gift. Take note of her favorite stores and give her gift cards to them, or go in and ask a store associate to help you pick out the perfect outfit. Enhance this gift by buying cute hangers to replace her old plastic ones, a pretty box to store her jewelry in, and a set of closet organizers to help keep everything in order.

With whatever gift you choose, remember that your thoughtfulness matters more than the item itself. By spending time picking out something special, you’re showing a deep appreciation and care that goes beyond Christmas morning.
