What to give mom for the New Year?
Choosing a mother's gift for the New Year, we experience a lot of positive emotions. I would like to give her something useful and meaningful to show her love and care. The material in this article will help the reader make a choice, find the best option, or push on an original solution.
We take into account the age
Mom's age is one of the key factors in determining the appropriateness of a given gift. The presentation category will depend on him. For example, a young mother might be happy:
- a set of decorative cosmetics;
- a beautiful dress or tunic;
- modern gadget;
- concert tickets;
- a subscription to the pool for a month or more;
- expensive jewelry;
- a new stylish handbag;
- a scarf or stole;
- a subscription to the fitness room.
An elderly mother will like a New Year's gift if it is, for example:
- bedding set;
- beautiful kitchen apron;
- set in the form of a scarf and mittens;
- original flowerpot;
- garden figurine of an unusual shape;
- bathrobe or soft towel;
- delicious cake or a set of chocolates with wishes.
Picking up this or that gift, you need to correlate age with status in society. For example, gifts for housewives and business women are different. In one case, it is more advisable to purchase a book with recipes, thanks to which mom can taste a lot of culinary novelties. Such a gift will be good for a woman who loves to cook.
In another case, a diary is more relevant, thanks to which a woman will be able to more rationally build her work regime or daily routine, noting the time of important meetings and other matters.
Interests
A gift is not chosen at random: it is carefully chosen so that it is not a useless trinket. The days when it was customary to give souvenirs, fridge magnets or figurines for filling display cabinets are a thing of the past. You should not give something that is not useful: a gift that mom can use is much more important. Each time, taking it in her hands, she will think about you, about the moment of giving and the holiday. And these are positive emotions that are so necessary for loved ones.
To give a useful thing, you need to take into account the interests of a woman. For example, creative people love to draw, and this is often hampered by the price of high-quality consumables. Not every woman can buy expensive art paints, canvas and brushes. By giving them to her, you can make her dream come true.
If mom loves to cook, you can give her home appliances that will simplify the work in the kitchen and make it more comfortable. Carefully select the functionality of the product in order to buy exactly what you need. For example, you might consider buying a good multicooker or even a bread maker with kneading and jam-making options. A transparent toaster can become an original gift, which will eliminate the likelihood of bread burning.
If Mom loves to do needlework, she probably has a corner with all sorts of things. As a rule, there are always shreds, threads, pins, ribbon trims and other small things. However, if you give her a ready-made high-quality needlework kit using the technique she loves, this gift will be special. As she does creative work using the kit components, the mother will think of you more lovingly.
Pay attention to the fact why the woman is doing this or that job. If she is happy with her, this is a reason for a gift. But if it is more of a necessity, it is necessary to facilitate the work, rather than overwhelm it with even more work.
Pay attention to the little things: perhaps the mother has broken glasses, but no new ones. Or, for example, you can give her new ones for the house or for going out. In this case, you can find out in advance what the size of the diopters is, plus or minus is needed, what value is needed. Perhaps she needs an apparatus to change the pressure due to the fact that the old one has already failed.
Be attentive to her health. She may have a sore back or neck. Then you can buy a special orthopedic pillow, thanks to which mom's sleep will be facilitated and the load on the spine will be relieved. If her circulation is impaired, she may constantly freeze. If this is the case, buy her a warm sweater or soft robe.
Don't take what seems good to you: think about her, what will be good for her.
Traditional and original presentation options
The choice of a gift for mom depends on various factors. For example, one of them is the age of the children, because the cost of the gift largely depends on it. It's one thing for a son or daughter to stand firmly on their feet and have a good job. Here you can give an expensive item. But if children make a gift, it is completely different.
Little children congratulate their mother in words, some of them draw their touching postcards, where they write that they love their mother. Perhaps these are the most valuable gifts, because the main meaning of the gift is embedded in them - love for the mother. School-age children can give their mother a beautiful greeting card. Often, having no money, they resort to making a gift with their own hands. For example, it could be:
- paper Christmas tree;
- papier-mâché figurine, decorated with decoupage napkins or decopatch;
- crocheted napkin;
- knitted scarf;
- homemade box for all sorts of things;
- hand-painted Christmas tree toy;
- self-made sofa cushion;
- handmade soap made from a ready-made set;
- potholders in the New Year's theme;
- New Year's topiary of cones;
- candles using decoupage technique.
Children with imagination present their gifts in an unusual way. For example, they can make a postcard in the form of a laptop by writing a wish on its stylized screen. Someone can make an unusual garland by writing a special wish for mom on each of its elements. Others decorate the room for the New Year on their own, hiding surprises with wishes. Such presents are appreciated better than others, because they say a lot about children's feelings.
With age, children have their own pocket money, and therefore they want to buy something ready-made and always important for their mother. Due to the small budget, they try to choose something useful. For example, they buy:
- a set of jars for spices or bulk products;
- bath bombs, detergents;
- a set of towels for the kitchen or face and hands;
- cosmetics for face or hair care;
- a set of cakes that mom likes;
- tasty candy;
- kitchen apron;
- an album for family photos;
- frame for a portrait;
- photo collage in the form of photo frames combined into a single composition;
- a set of Christmas tree decorations;
- warm mittens and a scarf.
Children's gifts cannot be called traditional, because each of them is unique in its own way. For example, it is impossible to call an ordinary postcard in polvatman, sealed in a huge envelope. Mom will definitely like such a letter "from Santa Claus." You can not only draw a picture on it: you can also make a photo collage with wishes.
And if you approach work creatively, then you can take any fairy tale as a basis, making all family members its heroes.
Expensive presents
Children who are already firmly on their feet can give their mother for the New Year:
- a laptop so that she can communicate on social networks;
- a tablet for relaxation or communication;
- smartphone for more comfortable communication;
- a digital photo frame with uploaded family photos;
- lens for a smartphone camera;
- an e-book for reading interesting books;
- French press for brewing tea, coffee and aromatic herbs;
- a blanket with a heating function for a comfortable seating in an armchair while watching your favorite channel;
- massage chair to relieve muscle tension;
- an expensive orthopedic mattress for a bed or sofa;
- smart watch with dawn simulation option;
- special scales - calorie counter;
- vibro-massage chair cover;
- built-in oven with self-cleaning function.
You can give a set of expensive decorative cosmetics, having previously learned the preferences of the mother... If she cares about her appearance, you can take a closer look at what means she uses more often, what exactly she likes. These can be products for the care of the skin of the face or body. On sale you can find items by the piece or a ready-made set in a beautifully designed box. You can also choose a good perfume if you know exactly what your mom is dreaming of.
You should not skimp on fakes, because such perfumes do not have an exquisite trail. Plus, no remake can compare to real perfume. They are not sold for bottling, they are quite persistent and distinguish a woman from the crowd.
Creative gifts
The top creative gifts for a beloved mother for the New Year from her son and daughter include solutions such as:
- gym or pool membership;
- a master class in dancing or a certain type of handicraft (for example, painting dishes, pottery, painting);
- a certificate for the purchase of expensive cosmetics;
- rest in a specific sanatorium;
- holding a New Year's holiday in a restaurant;
- make-up or hairdressing course;
- thematic photo session (single or family);
- visiting a trampoline park for a young and active mother;
- a trip to the city of youth of an elderly mother;
- horseback riding or swimming lesson with an instructor.
During the shopping process, you can think about a gift for make-up and hair styling. For example, you can buy a mirror with LED lighting as a gift. This will make it easier for your mom to look after her makeup and see herself better. As for styling products, you can get a good hair dryer with several drying modes.
If there is a good stylist in town, give your mom his advice. He will help you choose a fresh look, choose the best type and length of hairstyle, show you how to wear makeup at a particular age, teach you how to choose wardrobe items so that you always look your best.
An unusual solution may be sofa pillow with family photo. You need to order it in advance by choosing a company that can make high-quality and durable photo printing. You can also order a banner poster on the wall depicting the whole family. However, in this case, you will have to think about the mountings.
You can give your mom a professional manicure... Today, this service can be carried out at home, however, in the salon, the client has the opportunity to choose a wider color scheme and design. Such a gift will remain in the memory of mom for a long time, and you may thus be able to fulfill one of her desires, which she is unlikely to allow herself.
If finances permit, you can buy a mother set for professional manicure. Be sure to take a closer look at the power of the lamp so that it dries the coatings well, pick up beautiful colors of gel polish, design elements. You can also take a set with a device, although it will cost more.
However, as practice shows, it will significantly reduce the time for processing nails, and reduce the risk of injury to the cuticle.
Health care
There are situations when you want to give something soft and warm. A high-quality blanket can be an excellent solution. Today it can be very diverse. For example, you can buy a winter-summer sheepskin blanket or the so-called two-in-one option. If desired, it can be used as a winter blanket.
If you unfasten the thick and soft layer, you can get a light blanket in which you can wrap yourself up while sitting in an armchair or on a sofa, sitting down to relax.
If you wish, you can choose a model with a hood or sleeves. Such products are unusual, they can also be paired, but this is an excellent solution that will be in demand both in winter and in the mid-season, when there is no heating, but the house is cold.
If you have the option of buying devices for home measurement of pressure, it will be very helpful, as well as inhaler... This useful thing is useful for treating cough, which often makes itself felt as a complication of colds. Someone may need device for determining the level of sugar. Such items help to identify the problem in time so as not to waste time solving it.
Budget presents
If you are on a budget, you can opt for an inexpensive gift. However, it should also be useful. For example, you can buy a protective glass or a cover for your mother's phone. You can update it according to your mother's color preferences by choosing a New Year's design. If the mother prefers a laconic design, it is quite enough to choose something practical. A new charger for your phone can also be a good gift.
However, you need to select it correctly, taking into account the parameters of the phone itself. For example, you should not take the option with fast charging, since such a product does not hold a charge well, and therefore the phone will be quickly discharged. As for the length of the cord, it can be either classic or long.
You can give a sweet surprise. For example, it can be mom's favorite cookies or chocolates. It is not at all necessary to surprise with the quantity: the main thing is your concern. For example, you can pick up a ready-made version in a small package (for example, in the form of a candy, a star, a chest or an animal figurine).
An original and inexpensive gift can be a pair of gloves with touch fingers. They cost no more than three hundred rubles, but if someone calls while mom is on the street, she will not have to take off her gloves and freeze her hands. This is a good gift and care for my mother's health. It is better to choose the color taking into account the jacket or scarf.
It should be borne in mind that it should be in harmony, but not match tone to tone.
A nursing mother, who, in addition to the baby, already has adult daughters, can be presented with baby care products. At this time, even a trifle can become an irreplaceable gift. For example, you can give her special nursing underwear, a breast pump, bottles, a bathrobe, comfortable clothes. However, these gifts are personal, and therefore, before buying them, you can carefully ask whether your mother will understand such a present.
To create the effect of surprise, do not forget about the packaging. The present can be put in a small box, supplemented with a small postcard with wishes of happiness and health. Even if it is a simple or symbolic gift, for example, lipstick or mascara, in the package it will look completely different, more solemn.
List of ideas for godmother and mother-in-law
Choosing a gift for a godmother or mother-in-law is a separate topic. It all depends on the degree of closeness of the relationship. For example, there are cases when a mother-in-law treats her daughter-in-law like a natural mother. Therefore, the relationship between them is trusting and warm. In this case, the daughter-in-law has more opportunities for choice, because there is no need to be afraid that the gift will be misunderstood. For example, you can give something warm and healthy.
Will be good presents a set of bed linen, a soft and fluffy blanket or a small long-naped rug, which can be laid by the bed or sofa in the guest area of the apartment (house). You can also buy and donate terry robe, large microfiber bath towel, excellent moisture absorption.
When choosing a gift for a godmother or mother-in-law, you need to consider: give what you need. You should not buy useless trinkets and souvenirs that will not be in demand, because this speaks of the gift as a signal. For example, it is better to take a good book for the future mother-in-law than to try to surprise with a diary, which she has never used and is unlikely to do so. It is useless to give her a handmade gift if any handicraft is alien to her.
The gift will seem boring and uninteresting to her, even if you spend a lot of time making it. You should not "please" her with a frying pan, because not everyone understands such gifts, as well as sets of knives or candles.
If the mother-in-law loves to read, before buying, you need to ask your boyfriend or husband what authors she prefers, what topics are close to her. You can ask what is not in her collection.
As for the godmother, here everything also depends on the degree of spiritual relationship. If she is close to you, it will not be difficult to get the right gift. Even if the budget is limited, you can always please her with a beautiful set of winter accessories, consisting of a warm snowboard and soft mittens. This gift is practical and necessary, it will definitely come in handy. As for the hat, this is not the best solution, because the same thing may not go at all for different people due to the peculiarities of the shape of the face and head.
For the godmother or mother-in-law, you can pick up as a New Year's gift:
- a good handbag;
- delicious New Year's cookies;
- painted Christmas tree decorations;
- a small jewelry box;
- photo frame with uploaded electronic photos;
- a joint trip to a hairdresser or a beautician;
- joint appearance in the world (for example, to the theater or to a concert);
- a beautiful New Year's tablecloth with napkins;
- blender or a good hair dryer;
- a certificate for a trip to a decorative cosmetics store;
- a set of various jars for spices;
- pots for indoor plants;
- original figurines for the garden landscape.
A massager can be an original gift. Today, the range of such products has many variations. You can choose a model with heating for legs, back, neck. In addition, among the modifications, you can choose an option for the prevention and correction of age-related skin changes. There are also products that massage the lower back.
If the mother-in-law or godmother likes to spend a lot of time in the country, a New Year's gift can decorate this place. For example, you can purchase beautiful flower pots for your flower gallery. You can buy an elegant side table that can replace the missing windowsill. On such a table it will be possible to arrange several pots with indoor plants.
If the godmother or mother-in-law loves flowers, but she does not have special stands for them, you can give them to her... For example, these can be shelving products that are installed in the corner of a window or models with hooks that are hung directly on the window. Flowers in pots of compositional type look beautiful, which is a forged stand that can hold three small pots.
Speaking of flowers, it should be noted that they themselves can become a welcome gift for a husband's mother or godmother. However, before buying a beautiful plant, it is necessary to clarify whether a woman is allergic to plants, and in general, whether she loves flowers. Considering that this is far from a universal gift, such a clarification is necessary, because the flower will need constant care.
A retired mother-in-law, like an elderly godmother, can be given beautiful curtains for one of the rooms of the house. It can be openwork tulle or “day-night” curtains with a special layer that does not allow light to pass through, which allows you to avoid prying eyes from the street. Such curtains are expensive, but they also look decent. This is a good gift if the relationship between people is warm and sincere.
If you are on a budget, you can give your mother-in-law a symbolic and unusual gift. For example, it can be a personalized mug, a plate with a photo print. A woman over 70 can be gifted glasses with a case for them. To preserve the surprise effect, you need a beautiful holiday packaging. Without it, the present can look cheap.
A beautiful household gift can be a chandelier or an unusual wall lamp. You can choose such a product to match the general concept of the style of a particular room. In general, whatever idea is taken as a basis, you need to correlate it with the interests of a woman. And the best gift will be the one that was chosen with care.
If a woman loves to sing, you can please her microphone for karaoke. In addition, you can give her an e-book, if she knows how to handle gadgets. You can buy a face massager for black circles under the eyes.
Sometimes a cosmetic face mask can also be a welcome gift.
What can you do with your own hands?
DIY gifts allow you to develop a creative urge, to do something unique and expensive. For example, one of the original and useful gifts can be blanket created using bonbon or patchwork technique. Such products look unique, although their manufacture takes a lot of time and diligence. But the more expensive the gift is, because it will be made for a loved one. Based on these techniques, you can also make bedspreads with which you can fill a sofa or bed.
You can even do a set of sofa cushions, matching their colors in accordance with mom's taste preferences... They can be made as a set with covers for armchairs and sofa sides. The form can be either the simplest or the most fun. For example, emoji pillows in the form of emoticons expressing different emotions will look original in the guest space. It will not be difficult to cut patterns in the shape of symbolic animals and sew them along the contour, getting more original pillows with embroidered faces. For example, it can be funny cats, dogs, fish, or even Angry Birds.
A good and functional gift can be simple covers for armchairs or chairs. Often, for their manufacture it is not at all necessary to resort to complex cut and tailoring. You can cut rectangular pieces to fit the furniture and trim them with a border, and add ties to hold them to the furniture. The color of the covers should be selected taking into account the color scheme of the interior so that they do not stand out against the general background and do not seem like an incomprehensible spot in the design.
An original gift can be photo album for family photos. So that it does not seem trivial, you can buy jewelry for it using the scrapbooking technique and decorate each spread, paying special attention to the cover. If you have a mini-printer for your camera at home, you can take pictures right during the celebration and immediately print them, signing with wishes. Such a present will be especially memorable for any mother.
A useful and unusual gift for mom for the New Year can be made from scrap materials. If you buy yarn and make a box-frame with nails, you can make a blanket or a blanket from pompons. The product is quite unusual, but useful. It can be used as a cover for a sofa or bed, as well as a blanket. At the same time, you can create a certain pattern from colored pom-poms-balls using elements of different colors.
Simple but original craft - gift socks that can be hung over the fireplace in the living room. Such gifts can be very diverse, while small gifts can be put in them before the New Year. For example, it can be warm socks, candy, a set of tools for decorating baked goods, aromatic oils.
A good gift will be potholder... Today it will not be difficult to sew it, because on the vastness of the World Wide Web you can find the most unusual patterns and a detailed description of the manufacturing process. And if something is not clear, you can figure it out by watching the video of a detailed master class. For example, you can make a potholder in the form of a chicken, apple, turkey, butterfly. Such a New Year's gift will not lie unclaimed.
Sons try not to make, but to buy gifts. However, if the son is engaged in, for example, woodworking, he can do for the mother gift panel, boards for cutting meat, figurines for decorating the landscape. A good gift can be a set of chairs, made by hand. Someone can do tea table with carved legs or low bench to facilitate gardening.
You can combine the purchase of a gift with its installation. For example, a son can build an oven into a kitchen set himself by choosing a product for the measurements of a specific drawer with a hob. You can buy a floor lamp and decorate it with unusual decor together with your sister.
You can make a table lamp yourself. The son can make garden figurines by painting them with special paints so that they decorate the local area or garden plot for a long time.
Sometimes pleasant little things can be a gift, through which you can decorate a New Year's table or room. For example, it can be champagne bottle caps, cute origami napkins in the form of Santa Claus, Thai lanterns and much more. These products add entourage, make the atmosphere of the dwelling special, and tune in to a disposing mood.
It is not difficult to make such presents, but many of them can be used next year, and more than once. In general, crafts can be done not only by adults, but also by children of different ages. For example, a son or daughter can make a wish box or even such a gift as a letter to the future. Imagine how pleasant it would be for a mother to read it on a particular day.
Baby girl can knit for mom bedside rug, which will fit perfectly into the interior of the room and will allow you to protect your feet from the cold floor when your mother wakes up and gets up. You can think of a book with recipes for happiness, writing down your "recipes" and wishes. These are positive emotions, what a mother needs for her well-being. She can read these tips when she is sad to cheer up.
Children can make a bouquet of wishes by decorating it with New Year's paraphernalia. As a basis for manufacturing, you can take different materials, including even balloons. You can also wind flowers from long balls and present them to your mother.
