My mom has everything she could need and buys things for herself as she likes them. She also outearns me by almost triple so I feel silly buying her things. I usually prepare some activity for us to do together as a family and split the cost with my sister. This year, we’re taking a chocolate making class all together. I’ve also had fun results with ceramics class, cooking class, etc. Future plans for the years ahead include a winery tour, a spa day, and so on. Once I save up for it, I plan for one year to have us sit for a proper oil painted portrait.
I think the best gift that moms want the most is to spend time together and creating fun family memories. At least the moms that I know.
