December has arrived and it certainly feels like summer and the festive season are here. It can be a bit tough to find options for your family, especially your mom. If you’ve been fresh out of ideas or just wanting some inspiration for Mother’s Day and beyond - we’ve put together a selection of gifts that are perfect all year round.
Have a look at what we think could be wonderful for your mom or mother-in-law .
Sparkle with a beautiful piece of jewellery
A customised charm bracelet or personalised piece of jewellery can be such a thoughtful gift for your loved one. The best part about getting a custom piece is that it can reflect what they love or enjoy. In terms of budget, you can decide to purchase a pricier designer item, think Pichulik or Famke. Alternatively, you can go full DIY and thrift the charms you want to add to the bracelet, visit vintage jewellery shops or your local flea market for inspiration.
Take her to a cooking class or fun activity
One way to spend quality time with your mom is to try out a fun activity together. The first option that comes to mind is a cooking class. You can choose between going to a class that will improve your skills or a fun group class that allows you to cook just for fun. If you’re in Cape Town, Food Jams is an excellent choice while The Cooking Kitchen is an option for Jo’burgers.
Splurge on that designer handbag or wallet
Has your mom been complaining about needing a new bag or is her wallet in need of an upgrade? Christmas is the perfect time to get her that designer item she’s been wanting for the longest time. Want to shop local? You could have a look at local brands like Project Dyad, Verse Studio and Jekyll and Hide, for expertly made leather goods and items.
Sleep like a queen
One thing we all need is sleepwear and a nice pair of pajamas is an ideal Christmas gift. It’s something that can be used over and over again, while looking chic. If your family likes matching outfits, you could get a set for your loved ones as a family gift.
