Being a mom and a daughter are two of the most beautiful parts of my life. It really doesn’t matter that I’m past my mid-fifties or that our sons are all young adults. I still call my mom almost daily, even just to say hi and check in on her, and I still want to know that the boys are well before I put my head on my pillow at night.

While gifting my mom comes easily to me, I know it’s not the case for the boys. So, if finding a gift for your mom is challenging, I’ve got you! Whether you want some ideas or are looking for different Mother’s Day gift options, I want to share with you the beautiful -or practical- gift ideas that caught my eye.

New post Mother’s Day Gifts You Didn’t Know Your Mom Needed on A Personal Organizer by Helena Alkhas

Moms and dads are always at the top of everyone’s list, except, of course, when you have kids 😉 But still, they are a priority, and I personally take great pleasure in keeping an eye out for gift ideas for moms and dads throughout the year. Yes, I’m a “year-long gift shopper”!

Since my parents live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I buy their birthday and Christmas gifts whenever I see something special and bring them with me when I go to Brazil to speak at the annual Personal Organizer Conference or when we go on vacation with the boys.

This year, for example, I gave them a Hoka (the most comfortable tennis shoe you’ll ever wear!) among other gifts.

Whether your parents live far, far away, or you’re super lucky to have them close, here are some lovely gifts for moms and dads that will make them feel like the special people they are!

Something Special For Mom

My daily wardrobe consists of very basic and classic items that I can mix & match easily, but when it’s time to dress up, I like to have fun!

Here are some items you’d find in my “date night” closet.

If your mom is using the “same old, same old” pieces to get dressed up when she goes out, I bet she would love a gorgeous new dress, skirt, or blouse to add to her go-to pieces.

Something beautiful to carry, some added sparkle around her neck, or a bold new lip color would all be very welcome gifts.

For The Mom Who Needs A Break

Some moms are constantly on the go. Between taking care of the house, the kiddos, and working a full-time job, they never get a break.

If that’s the case, treat your mama with a soft robe, a gift certificate for a spa, a subscription for ready-made meals, or even better, monthly cleaning services to lighten her load!

Consider subscriptions like HelloFresh, cleaning services, or a monthly wine delivery service. Mom will love these gifts that will make her life easier throughout the entire year!

Gift Ideas For Dad

Some people feel finding the perfect gift idea for dad is hard. But it doesn’t need to be!

Finding the perfect gift for a dad is sometimes as simple as thinking about what they like. Do they like to travel? Do they love shoes and accessories? Do they enjoy a smart cocktail at the end of the day?

No matter what the dads on your list are into, you can find the perfect gift for them. Remember to keep it personal to their tastes; they will love what you gift them.

Wrapping It Up

Gift-giving doesn’t need to be complicated or extravagant. At the heart of a great gift idea for moms and dads is the thought you put into noticing what your mom or dad would love to have that would make their day and their new year a little brighter.

Are you a coffee or a tea person? Maybe you know someone who is both. These gifts will delight anyone who loves cozying up to a warm beverage in the winter months.

Hygee, a Danish term for all things cozy, is all of the rage these days, and what better way to enjoy the simple things in life than by slowing down with a warm mug of coffee or tea?

These make a perfect gift for the chilly Winter holiday.

In The Bathroom

Hairstyling Organizing Station

In The Closet

Preserving And Organizing Coats

In the colder months, it’s important to remember how we are taking care of our coats and sweaters.

These items need a bit of special care to keep them in top shape. And because Winter items and outerwear can be a bit of an investment, buying quality hangers, cedar hangers, and other chilly clothing care items is well worth the purchase.

Preserving And Organizing Coats

Caring & Storing For Boots

Great boots can also be an investment. To keep their boots in great shape for years to come, it makes sense to take extra care of how we store boots when they aren’t being worn.

Boot care tip: Avoid “broken” ankle marks on your boots with boot shapers or by hanging them with the appropriate boot hanger.

Have too many boots? While I wouldn’t call this a problem, or rather the kind of problem we might like to have, check out the amazing shoe storage by Elfa for the Imelda Marcos in your life. With 1,200 pairs of shoes, she definitely could have used this.

Caring & Storing For Boots

Preserving And Organizing Handbags & Clutches

Just like your coats and boots, your handbags can be quite an investment, but with proper care, they can last and be wonderful parts of your wardrobe for many years.

Have a friend with a passion for her luxury handbags? She will love the handbag rain cover!

See those quilted pillows below? They are the perfect handbag filler and will keep their shape as they will sit tall – no more marks on your beautiful bag!

Great Organizing Books

The Perfect Gift

No matter what kind of organizing lover you have on your list, there is something for everyone here.

Your favorite organizer may get many gifts, but you know they will really appreciate that you have bought them a thoughtful gift that speaks to their love of all things organized and orderly!
