Mother's Day is coming up and, like every year, you're running late (or have you completely forgotten, ungrateful you)? Don't stress, we're here to help with some original and varied gift ideas for all moms .
Whether you're looking for a gift to spoil your mom, your mother-in-law, or the mother of your children, we invite you to discover our best gift ideas!
Find the perfect gift for creative moms and nature lovers: DIY and gardening
🌿 Lego botanicals: indestructible plants
For this idea, we've found some plants and flowers that don't even need watering ! This is handy if your mom already has plenty to do, or if you're looking for an activity to do together to enjoy some quality time.
Lego brings people together, everyone likes it, and it's fun to do... as long as you follow the instructions, but I promise, it's easier than putting together an IKEA piece of furniture.
Our favorite sets for mamounette (or another less ridiculous nickname):
- The bouquet of roses (€59.99): classic, chic, timeless!
- Miniature plants (€49.99): a set of several cacti, anthuriums, succulents and carnivorous plants (in bricks, don't worry) in their small individual pots.
- The miniature orchid (€29.99): less capricious than a real one, a true decorative object.
- The little sunny bouquet (€29.99): perfect for adding a little pep to the family living room without having to take care of it!
- The little smiling plants (€19.99): our low-cost favorite! We love their cute faces (FYI, it's a pilea and a dracaena, that's it) and their pastel pots. The only problem is, they're available for pre-order in June, so only choose them if you have a little more time to spoil your mom.
🪴 Gardening tools or ready-to-sow kits
Now we move on to the "green thumb mom gift" category: from the classic green plant to gardening tools and ready-to-plant kits , you have the choice. A little tip: first find out about the needs of the plant in question before buying it.
Our recommendation: Docteur Jonquille and Mister Ail gardening kits and Permacool gardening kits , for organic and responsible sowing!
💡 DIY kits: macrame, paint by numbers, embroidery, crafts…
Depending on your mom's tastes, you can also opt for all-in-one creative hobby or DIY kits : sewing kits (with pattern and supplies), embroidery, macramé, paint by numbers, diamond painting, pyrography... There's no shortage of ideas!
Gift ideas for gaming and connected moms
We also think of gaming moms, or those who spend their time in front of a screen: because yes, they exist and we also need to spoil them with original ideas!
🎧 Accessories: headset, controllers, keyboard
The advantage of being a gamer is that you always need accessories. A new keyboard (personally, I'm eyeing the Logitech wireless POP or K380 keyboards, JDCJDR), an ergonomic mouse , a laptop stand, a mouse pad with wrist rest, a new controller (or several, let's be crazy) for example.
As a bonus, a great idea for moms of young children working from home: noise-cancelling headphones so you can sleep, play, or work without hearing the kids yell (yes, it's inspired by a true story, no, don't call social services).
🎮 A chill (or not) video game, or a co-op game to play together
Who says gamer mom says video games: if you know her style, you can offer her something to relax with, whether by farming on Stardew Valley , letting off steam on Just Dance or blasting samurai on Assassin's Creed: Shadows .
But because video games are also about sharing, the super good idea to change from the usual gifts this year is a cooperative game . There are several to have a good time with mom without it turning into an argument between bad players: It takes two , Split Fiction , Overcooked! 2 , Unravel Two , A Way Out or even Super Mario Bros Wonder .
⌚️ A smartwatch or a sleep ring
Are you a connected mom who cares about her well-being? If she doesn't already have one, you can give her a smartwatch or a smart ring so she can track her sleep or fitness.
👓 Quality anti-blue light glasses
If the mom in question spends many hours a day in front of a screen, consider taking care of her by ordering her high-performance anti-blue light glasses ! Our portable range combines style and exclusive technology to protect her precious little eyes. And even if it's worth it, there's no need to mortgage the apartment; you can find them on our e-shop from €49.90.
The perfect gifts for pampering moms: e-reader, relaxation box
Mom prefers to chill? No worries, we have ideas for that too.
📖 An e-reader, the ideal gift for Mother's Day
A great gift idea for Mother's Day is an e-reader ! If she loves reading, but less so the half-ton of books piling up on her nightstand, this is a perfect solution. You can opt for the Kindle (from €109.99) or the Kobo (from €149.99) if you're looking for a safe bet. A nice bonus: backlit e-readers emit less blue light than a phone or computer screen.
🙏 A guided meditation device
Whether your mom is a beginner or an experienced meditator , giving her a guided meditation and/or relaxation box is a good idea to explore. You can take a look at Morphée meditation boxes : there are several to choose from, depending on your needs and budget.
💡 Note: You can also give him a book on the subject. To help you, read our complete guide: the best books on meditation , by the Horus X team!
🧖♀️ Gift voucher for a relaxing day
A classic that will please all types of moms, but especially those who need a break (yes, all of them, that's what we were saying): a moment of relaxation ! Massage, wellness area, body sculpting or even yoga retreat... the choice is yours. She deserves it!
The best ideas for outdoor moms: adventurous and sporty!
Is the mom in question a sports enthusiast and a fan of the great outdoors? No worries, there are plenty of gift options available to you!
👟 New sneakers or sports equipment
What to get a sporty mom? Sports gear, of course! This kind of product is a fundamental investment for training effectively and achieving your goals. New running shoes, trail running shoes, yoga or Pilates mats to take everywhere, dumbbells, kettlebells, resistance bands for strengthening, sportswear, the list goes on... Don't hesitate to investigate her needs before making your purchases, or opt directly for a gift card from a sports brand .
We've already talked about it above, but here too, the connected watch will be of great interest.
🎒 A backpack to follow her on all her adventures
Traveling mom? We've thought of her too! And to give her the perfect gift, we recommend a quality, practical and durable backpack to accompany her everywhere with comfort and style. The important criteria: a compact bag, but one that offers a suitable capacity (20 to 35 L for a hike) full of well-designed storage (quick access, multiple pockets, space for a water bottle), good support, adjustable and padded straps, a ventilated back for unparalleled comfort.
🕶️ Horus X sunglasses (of course)
To protect your precious eyes, don't forget UV-protective sunglasses that combine style and quality! You're in luck, at Horus X, we have a wide range of attractive, effective sunglasses , with great value for money (starting at €49.90!) and a lifetime warranty. If that doesn't make the perfect gift, we don't know what will.
Mother's Day gift ideas for sentimental moms, focused on transmission
The best gifts are also the memories we create together. And moms often have plenty of memories.
🎁 Personalized gifts or photo albums
A tried-and-true classic: photo gifts! But this time, we're swapping the mug with the picture of your face for a photo book with rare shots spanning several years, which is sure to please. So, okay, it takes a little planning and you only have a few days left, but you can make an effort.
Little bonus idea: the journal to fill in “ Mom, tell me your story ” , to rediscover your mother and share memories.
💝 Gift boxes for an unforgettable experience
Don't want to live in the past? Let's create new memories for Mom with a crazy experience, alone, as a couple, or with the family. Skydiving, paragliding, scuba diving, gourmet restaurants: ready-made escape boxes and gift sets are here to make things easier for you. (Just forget the sensory floatation capsule staycation box if your mom is claustrophobic.)
