What Does Mom Want | Gifts Mom Will Love
Buying gifts for your Mom is HARD! What does mom want??? All growing up, I would get a ton of anxiety when shopping for my Mom. I wanted to make sure I was pleasing her with my gift choice! I always thought that she just already had everything or if she needed something that she would just buy it herself.
However, after becoming a Mom myself, I have found that to be inaccurate. Heart-felt, homemade gifts are the BEST gifts, however, there are also things that we want/need that we just won’t ask for. So I have compiled a list of items, according to what moms want, that any mom (like me) would be ecstatic to receive!
What Does Mom Want?
Mom wants to be COMFORTABLE!
It doesn’t matter if your Mom works, is a stay-at-home mom, is retired, etc… At the end of the day, she wants to be comfortable! Trust me, even if you are grown, her back is still probably sore from all of the times you made her carry you!
Gift Cards Mom will Love:
- Massage
- Favorite Coffee Shop

Mom wants to be pampered!
She will probably tell you she doesn’t “need” anything. However, there are always those things that we don’t necessarily NEED but we WANT (i.e. favorite perfume). Mom is allowed to be boujie too! I will bet money that she will be elated to have some time FOR HERSELF and BY HERSELF too!

What Does Mom Want??
Mom wants to experience things!
Your mom has probably grown accustom to putting herself and her wants last. She will do whatever you want to do. However, she has desires of her own. She may not even know what they are yet because she has never had time to even think about it! So get her an experience that she will never forget! Oh, and you better be prepared to go with her because what she wants MOST of all is more time with YOU!

I LOVE the idea of experience gifts for mom too. I know as a Mother, I would appreciate doing something together with the family or something for self care instead of jewelry or a new fun thing.
