Moms are people also. They love their children, but they also have many hobbies (cooking! running! playing!) and deserve gifts that honor them as people, not just parents. Gifts for Mom shouldn’t consist of giving her a vacuum cleaner or anything related to the stereotypical cleaning tasks of parenthood; A perfect gift for your mom will show you how she likes to spend the rest of her hours when she is not parenting.
This guide has the best gift ideas for all types of moms and activities they might love, whether it’s a holiday like Mother’s Day or Christmas or you need a fun birthday gift for your mom or, God forbid want, your mother-in-law. (Unless your mother-in-law is awesome! In which case, mazel tov!)
