If you are looking for a gift idea for your mother, or just looking for something for yourself, then look no further. I’ve got you covered. There are all sorts of nice gifts out there at this time of year for moms.
The mom who needs cash
Cash. You can’t go wrong with cash. Everyone can use some of this. So go ahead and enter my competition on Instagram to win R1000. (This is for you!) (And you can always give her a voucher to her fave store if you don’t win…)
The smother mom
One Day Only sent me an email about the ‘smother’ mom – “you know the type, the stage five clinger you call mom who always insists on knowing every detail of your life, shows up unannounced, and embarrasses you in public.”
The gifts will be available between 28 April and 5 May, I can’t give you links as they change every day, but just go and look around, there are many amazing deals.
They suggest:
–Olympus 10×42 PRO Binoculars: “Designed to stand up to constant use in harsh outdoor conditions, the Olympus 10×42 PRO Binoculars provide a wide field of view, 10x magnification power, and lenses with multiple anti-reflection coatings, so she’ll have a clear, glare-free view of you.”
–DJI Mini 2 Fly More Combo Drone: If she is more techy: “now your ma can keep an eye on you wherever you go. With this drone, she can film and photograph you and instantly share edited photos and videos directly to social media since it comes complete with soundtracks and filters.”
–BurblePix Hard Cover A4 Personalized Photobook: “Even when you’re far apart, you’re always in umama’s heart. But with a BurblePix Hard Cover A4 Personalized Photobook you can be on her coffee table too. Just think, 24 pages dedicated to you and you alone.”
–Bestseller Book Bundle: “Get umama off your back for a few hours with books from her favourite author. Whether she’s crazy about crime fiction, relishes romance novels or is a non-fiction fan, there’s a bundle to suit every mom.”
–Iconix Kids and Adults Oversized Plush Blanket Hoodies “These winter must-haves are basically a wearable blanket and come equipped with a nifty pocket to carry snacks and supplies while also ensuring that mom’s books and binoculars are close by.”
The mom who likes pampering or travel
OneDayOnly also has pampering deals with candles and bath bombs, but also check out Hyperli. for discounts on spa treatments. For Gqeberha people, I always ask my mom for my birthday or Christmas to give me a Shambala voucher – that’s what I like.
The mom who likes stationery
PNA have a lovely range of stationery – notebooks and lists. This is great for granny’s fading memory too. Moleskine Plain Notebook, RSP R395.00. Tiggi and Bird Lists, RSP R158.99 each , Available at selected PNA stores.
The crafting mom
Whether she’d like to paint, knit or learn origami, PNA has got you covered. If she’s busy designing on the Cricut, you can go ahead and get her a foil transfer kit to add a metallic sparkle to everything. Origami Orchids: R495.00. Cricut Foil Transfer Kit, RSP R1009.00. Available at selected PNA stores.
The tech mom who wants to organise her stuff
PNA has a nice leather pouch to keep her IPad and books in one place and a Techy pouch to keep the charging cables in one place. Bookaroo Books n Stuff Pouch, RSP R490.00 Bookaroo Morris Tech-Tidy, RSP R725.00, Available at selected PNA stores.
One thing that I really liked and has made a difference to me is a laptop stand – and there are some really beautiful wooden ones at Typo. (This one is on sale for just R187.49 right now)
The mom who likes flowers
Let’s face it, we all like flowers! This was my go to gift for my mom when I was far away as well – send them via Netflorist.
Netflorist also has loads more ideas, which is super, especially if you are far from your mom at this time of year. They have flowers, personalised gifts, gowns, chocolates, clothes, gadgets.. and the list goes on.
So now .. you have no more excuses.. go ahead and spoil your mother!
