Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello, and today we're going to talk about gifts for
the our moms.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
And we all love our moms, and I am blessed
to still have my mama here on earth with me,
so I love to give her a thoughtful gift whenever
I can.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
But you know, when mom gets older, they pretty much
have everything they need. So it's time to get creative
and really think about gifts and have it come from
the heart. So whether your mom is the adventures type,
a homebody, or a crafty DIY enthusiast, we've all got
gift ideas tailored to her personality. We'll also dive into
(00:43):
the fascinating history of gift giving, highlighting creative wrapping tech techniques,
and discuss activities you can gift to create lasting memories.
So grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let's
get started talking about moms. Did you know that the
tradition of giving gifts dated back thousands of years. In
(01:07):
ancient times, people exchanged gifts to show loyalty, celebrate milestones,
or honored deities. For example, the ancient Egyptians gave offerings
to gods and pharaohs, while the Romans exchanged tokens during Saturnalia,
a festival that inspired some modern holiday traditions. When it
(01:31):
comes to moms, the tradition of Mother's Day as we
know it began in the early twentieth century. Anna Jarvis,
often called the mother of Mother's Day, campaigned for a
holiday to honor mothers after her own passed away. Wow,
that's amazing. The first official Mother's Day was celebrated in
(01:53):
nineteen o eight, and today it's one of the most
popular times to give gifts to mom. Oh, let's give
gifts based on mom's personality. Do you have an adventurous mom?
How about gifting a hiking backpack, a travel journal journal
or a subscription to a travel magazine. Plan a day
(02:14):
trip to a national park, or book a week in getaway.
Is your mom more of a homebody? You could gift
her a cozy blanket, a scented candle, or a personalized
set of tea mugs. Create a spa day at home
with face masks, footsaks, and her favorite snack. Do you
(02:36):
have a mom that loves food? Is she a foodie? Woll?
How about a high quality cookbook and then you benefit
from her cooking for you some gourmet spices or a
virtual cooking class, take her to a local food festival,
or plan a tasting tour at a nearby restaurant, or
(02:58):
even better, take her to a local cooking class. I
think every city or larger town has these now, and
they're just so much fun. Is your mom more of
the creative type? Have a set of watercolor paints, knitting supplies,
or a DIY craft kit. Sign her up for a
(03:19):
pottery or painting workshop, or have a craft day together.
How about if you want to make your mam a
gift instead of going out and buying it. Everybody loves
a homemade gift. Nothing says I love you like a
handmade gift. Here are a few simple but meaningful crafts
you can make a photo collage or scrap book. My
(03:43):
niece does this for my sister every single Christmas. She
starts gathering photographs from all the family members in about
October and asks us all to send her pictures of
my sister to her, and she gives her a photo
book every year. And I can't remember, I think this
(04:03):
is maybe the sixteenth or seventeenth year, so she has
all of those memories. It's just amazing collect family photos
and arrange them into a scrapbook or digital collage. Add
captions or small notes to make it personal. Customize a
recipe book. Compile her favorite recipes or yours into a
beautifully bound book. We did this as a family several
(04:26):
years ago and combined all of the old, wonderful recipes
that we all had from our grandmothers and great grandmothers,
and we all have a cookbook with our favorite recipes,
So that's a treasure. Handmade jewelry. Use beads, charms, and
wire to create a bracelet or a necklace, or have
(04:47):
it a decorative planner. Paint terra cutta pots and fill
them with her favorite plants or succulents, or a memory jar.
Write down reasons you love her on slips of paper
and put them in a are for her to read
whenever she needs a pick me up. Well, I love
that idea, I might have to steal that. Where can
(05:09):
you buy gifts for mom? Of course, there are local shops.
Support small businesses by buying handmade candles, jewelry, or artisanal goods.
Online retails websites like Etsy offer personalized gift what Amazon
is perfect for last minute fines. Subscription boxes are always
(05:30):
fun companies like Birch Box, Blue Apron or Book of
the Month offer curated gift boxes for every interest and
specialty stores. Look for gifts at cooking stores, garden centers,
or art supply shops depending on her hobbies. Help, Let's
talk about some creative ways to wrap her gifts. Presentation
(05:55):
is half the fun. Here are some creative ways to
wrap gifts for your mom. Fabric wrapping use a pretty
scarf or piece of fabric instead of paper. It's eco
friendly and doubles as part of the gift. How about
some personalized wrapping paper print family photos or meaningful quotes
(06:17):
onto wrapping paper. Decorative boxes These are really easy. Reuse
an old, wooden or decorative box that she can keep
for storage. Nature inspired wrap use twine, dried flowers or
greenery to add a rustic touch. I love this idea,
and don't forget a tag. Make a handagged handmade tag,
(06:41):
cut tags out of card stock and decorate them with
stamps or calligraphy. What are the most common times to
give gifts to mom? Of course, we know birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries, milestones,
But my favorite is just because because our moms are awesome,
They're always there for us. They're there to listen, they're
(07:04):
there to support, and sometimes the best gifts are given
for no reason at all. What are some the most
popular gifts for mom? What gifts to mom love the most?
Here's a quick rundown. Jewelry, especially personalized items, spa treatments
(07:26):
or self care items, kitchen gadgets or tools, flowers or
garden tools, and chocolates. And then family experiences like a
special dinner or tickets to an event. Gifts don't always
have to come in a box. Experiences can be just
(07:48):
as meaningful. We talked about this already. But spend time
learning something new together, such as going to a cooking
class or a flower arranging class. Take her for a
spa day, treat her to a massage or facial or
set one up at home. Or let's take her to
the theater or a concert. Take her to see her
(08:10):
favorite play, musical or her favorite band. Buy her something
that she wouldn't buy herself. And if she's the adventurous type,
go kayaking, take a scenic kike, or enjoy a picnic
in the park. Just get outside with your mom. And
of course there are the workshops. Sign her up for
a pottery class, painting or gardening class. I don't think
(08:34):
you can go wrong with any of these classes, and
it's stimulating for all involved and something different than she
wouldn't buy for herself. I know that we have a
local store, local flower shop that teaches you how to
create a beautiful bouquet of flowers and also arrange flowers.
(08:58):
You can bring your own base from home or buy
one at the store, and then you can bring in
a bottle of wine and cheese and just spend time
with your mom learning a new craft. We all think
that we know how to put flowers in vase, but
there really is some art that goes into it, and
I think that may be what I buy my mother
(09:21):
for her Christmas present. There's so many ideas and so
many things that we can get our moms. They do
so much for us throughout the year, and not just
for their birthdays in Christmas and Easter and Mother's Day.
So surprise your mom at some random time during the
(09:42):
year and get her something special that you know that
she'll love. So whether it's a heartfelt craft, a carefully
chosen store bought item, or a memorable experience, the best
gift for your mom are those that come from the heart.
It's remember it's not just about how much you spend,
it's about the thought and the love behind it. So
(10:03):
go out there, get creative, find some beautiful wrapping paper,
and put a smile on your mom's face.
