The Perfect Gift Guide for Wives & Mums
When a special occasion rolls around, whether it be Mother’s Day, the holidays or a birthday, buying a gift for your wife or your mum can be a challenge. You want to find the perfect gift for the special woman in your life to show her just how important she is to you.
While every woman is different and prefers different things, there are some items that everyone will love. So whether it be silk kimonos or a cast-iron pan, you won’t miss the mark with these gift suggestions.
The Ultimate Wife
When shopping for your wife, it doesn’t matter if you have been married for five years or 15 years; you want to get it right every time. Of course, this might not be the first time you are buying a gift for her, but you may have a rocking history of getting it perfect.
But gift-giving doesn’t need to feel like a stressful task every year. Consider her interests, home comforts and free time activities when your hunt begins.
Supersonic Hairdryer Set
You may consider this pricy hairstyling tool a splurge but rather view it as an investment. After gaining a large amount of popularity for the salon-quality blowouts made achievable at home, it can easily replace every other styling tool one currently owns.
Furthermore, with the ability to achieve such great results at home, your partner will significantly reduce their visits to the professionals, allowing the dryer to pay itself off in the long run.
Music Box
It might be the song that was playing when you first met or the tune you had your first dance to. Either way, for those with particularly sentimental wives, gifting a music box that plays her favourite song with each crank of the handle will go down a treat.
Alternatively, buy a music box with a romantic tune already loaded for the perfect trinket to keep on her work desk or beside the bed. She will love the rustic decor look and the audible reminder of this romantic gift.
Smart Digital Picture Frame
With enough capacity to hold up to 10 000 images and the convenience of uploading pictures straight from your mobile device, a digital picture frame is a perfect gift for anyone who values family photos.
It is the best way to store all the important photos in one place and a great way to motivate yourself to pick up the camera and shoot more of all your favourite memories.
Custom Wedding Portrait
If you are recently married or looking for a thoughtful way to reflect on this iconic day for an anniversary, a custom wedding portrait is a lasting way to cement this moment in your home.
You can have one made by printing one of your favourite pictures from the day onto a canvas, along with your names and the wedding date. Alternatively, you can seek out a local portrait painter who can reproduce your photo through their art.
Regardless of your choice, opt for a glossy finish to help avoid lighting issues.
The Loving Mum
Your mum is that person in life that will always put others before herself. So she deserves to be spoilt during special occasions and finding the best gift to show her how much you love and appreciate her should be high on your priority list.
Her gift doesn’t have to break the bank. However, it needs to show thought and consideration for the things she likes and enjoys.
Weighted Blanket
There are very few things that feel as inviting and cosy as the comfort of a weighted blanket. Your mum will feel like she is getting a full-body hug in the comfort of her own home. They make great gifts for people who suffer from anxiety or stress and those who have issues settling at night to sleep.
Pick one up in your mum’s favourite colour and watch her melt into the warmth of her new best friend.
Mug & Warmer Set
Ideal for placing on her office desk, next to the bed or a side table in the lounge, a mug and warmer set will guarantee that no matter how long it takes your mum to finish her tea or coffee, it will maintain a pleasant temperature throughout.
The Five Minute Journal
If your mum appreciates a quiet start to her morning with a nice cup of coffee, make her time more mindful with the Five Minute Journal. This journal uses the science of positive psychology to improve your overall happiness.
With prompts referring to what she is grateful for or the best ways to spend the day, your mum will kick off each day on the right foot, with a positive mindset leading the way.
Scented Candles
Regardless of who you are in life, there is a scented candle out there for you. From woody scents like sandalwood and oak to the floral aromas of rose and cherry blossom, filling your home with a gorgeous scent will instantly lift anyone’s mood.
Find out your mum’s favourite scent and spoil her with large three-wick candles, ideal for the coffee table in the lounge or a centrepiece for the dining room. Smaller, one-wick candles make practical decor options, perfectly suitable for any side table or mantel around the house.
