Our moms, whatever personality they have, deserve the best this Christmas. Here are gift ideas for Christmas 2021 that you can give to moms!

Christmas is just a few weeks away and many of us have been taking advantage of online and mall sales (while practicing social distancing, of course) to buy gifts for our family and friends. Moms are on top of the list! There are times when it’s easy to shop if you know what your mom wants. But there are instances when it’s difficult to buy something for someone who already “has everything”. We at Modern Parenting came up with some gift ideas for Christmas that can help you in deciding what to buy for your mom in terms of her personality.

Mom-Approved Gift Ideas for Christmas

The mom who loves to entertain

If you have a mom who loves to set tables and entertain guests, then one of the best gifts to buy is a dinnerware set. There are sets that come in different designs and themes from minimalist to Christmas. You can even throw in additional accessories such as table napkins and holders.

The hardworking mom

Moms are not just homemakers. They are also executives and heads of their businesses—attending meetings and running companies. They are not just moms of their children but of the employees under them.

The health-conscious mom

Health is wealth and this saying is now more important due to COVID-19. Many of our moms are also keeping themselves active and love to pamper themselves by having tea, taking care of their skin, and going to the spa after a long day at work or chores at home.

What to buy: Why not buy her Estee Lauder’s ReNutriv set or Neal Yard’s Frankincense collection available at Rustan’s? If she is into detoxification and wellness, then Sekaya gift packs are worth checking out.

The homemaker

Moms love to redecorate and change parts of the house. This is an opportunity for you to get her a new appliance like an ice cream maker, govern, or even a purifier to keep your house clean. After all, she is not the “ilaw ng tahanan” for nothing.

What to buy: Blueair purifier, ice cream maker, and Maximus all-in-one oven available at Rustan’s

The elegant mom

If your mom is into brands and loves going to special events then you’ll definitely want to get something that she could take out of her purse for a quick touch-up. It can be lipstick, perfume, a pair of shoes, or a bag that she loves.

What to check out: If she’s into bags then the Coccinelle Marvin mini handbag is something to check out. If she loves the beach then a Luna caftan or a Lotus hat might be her thing. For perfumes, go classic with Chanel’s 2021 holiday collection which is available at Rustan’s.

The domesticated mom

The mom is light of the home. She takes care of everything from attending to the laundry to her children’s health including oral hygiene. Give her the gift of oral healthcare to remind her to make time for herself and give that smile.

What to checkout: Why not get her a line from Orahex which she can use after brushing. It’s developed by Filipino dentist which she and her children can use upon the approval of their dentist.

The thought that counts

When buying for your mom, it does not have to be expensive. Think about your budget and regardless of whatever you gift, she’ll appreciate it because it comes from the heart.
