If you’re hunting for a gift for your mother’s birthday and you’re hoping to steer clear of the usual suspects of soaps, chocs and scarves then why not push the boat out this year and get her something that she just wouldn’t usually expect.
Finding a gift for mum that’s as unique as the women that will be receiving it needn’t be as hard as you’d think which is why a little creativity and a lateral thought process can, quite literally, go a long way.
Although every mum says that she doesn’t need anything too special it’s definitely nice to spoil her once in a while and if you can give the gift of experience to your old ma then just wait to see her face light up with joy as she finds out how much she really means to you.
Below are the top ten experiences that every mum really wants for her birthday and if you can choose the gift that best suits the first lady in your house then there’s no guessing as to how far she’ll be able to spread her wings and fly.
Every mum wants the gift of relaxation on their birthday
Imagine your mum tiptoeing into an exotic spa where the only sounds come from a trickling waterfall and gentle music wafting over the air waves. Well this sort of birthday gift just about ticks all the right boxes for mums and from a massage and aromatherapy treatment to a full on pampering (there are many choices…), there’s nothing that says ‘go on mum, you deserve it’ other than buying a spa treatment to enjoy on her travels.
Birthday boat rides are the perfect gift for VIP mums
Out on the ocean, exploring hidden backwaters or taking a gondola ride on the iconic canals of Venice, whatever gift you think your mum would like the best don’t hold back when it comes to setting your favourite lady afloat. Extra special: If you really want to push the boat out for your mum on her birthday then champagne and live music never fails to hit the right spot when it comes to having fun and messing about on the water.
Helicopter rides are a great gift for birthday mums
There’s just something totally meditative about soaring high above the twinkling lights of a city at night or over a thundering waterfall at day break which is why helicopter rides and mums always make the perfect marriage. No matter where you want to send your mum on her birthday this is one gift that’s got excitement, romance and that all important VIP experience rolled into one never to be forgotten package of flying experiences.
Let your mum go all Willy Wonka on her next birthday
Although your mum may insist that she doesn’t want chocolates as a gift for her birthday she certainly won’t turn down the chance to go on a cultural walking tour where a few cheeky choccy tasting sessions are thrown in for good measure. Artisan workshops, city landmarks and the chance to try as she explores are all great reasons to treat your mum to an absolute cracker of a gift for her next big day to remember.
What mum wouldn’t like a birthday at a vineyard?
Clean and fresh air, those rolling hills and an endless supply of vino and nibbles, is there anything about visiting a vineyard that doesn’t scream birthday gift for mum? Europe, Australia or west coast America, wherever you think your mum would like to travel to in order to test the local crop then get her that gift today and listen to her chat about it for many more years to come.
Treat your mum like a VIP on her birthday
If you really want your mum to feel like she’s a million dollars on her birthday then why not get her a gift that does exactly that. Michelin starred restaurants, champagne on-board a yacht or a balloon ride over some of the world’s most stunning scenery, there are so many travel experiences out there to buy your mum for a her birthday that sometimes all that’s needed is a little bit of thought that can help your mum go a very long way.
A bit of peace and quiet is what all mums want as a birthday gift
No matter how much your mum would just love a bit of unbroken peace as her birthday gift, it would be very rare to be asked for such a chance. However, if you’re able to think outside of the traditional gift box and be a little proactive in making things happen then this is a perfectly feasible option. Tours of national parks, spa and massage mornings or giving her the space to enjoy a few hours with a book in a hammock, whatever you think your mum really needs, it doesn’t take much thought to bring it all together.
Give your mum the birthday gift of dance
Imagine your mother donning a pair of heels and strutting her stuff across the cobbles of Buenos Aires. Well, this is one birthday gift that she ain’t ever going to forget because learning how to dance a Tango in Latin America is just about as good as it gets for mums who still love to show off their pins and get into the rhythm of the night. Ballroom, jiving and lessons on how to foxtrot are all equally great birthday gifts but we think that one last Tango just about tops the lot.
A hand with the cooking is the ideal birthday gift for mums
Finding a cooking class away from home is just an amazing birthday gift for mum as she’ll not only be getting a hand with the cooking but she’ll be learning a few new culinary skills that she never knew existed. Market visits, special ingredients and spending time with an expert chef is a great gift to get a mum and if you’re looking for a share of the spoils then just wait for her to come home and practise her new found skills on you and the rest of the family.
