HELP! GIFTS FOR MOM(already ruled out half the world of gifting)
My mom’s birthday is coming up and I want to give her a bunch of smaller gifts instead of one big one. The problem is she’s really hard to shop for and I feel like I’ve already ruled out half the world of gifting.
About her: Hobbies: reading, listening to music, plant mom
Other info:
- Indian here.
- BUDGET=approximately
- I’ve already planned a book and a piece of clothing so far.
- Last year I gifted her a plant and a photo frame, so I don’t want to repeat gardening-related or sentimental gifts.
Things that are NOT options (either she doesn’t like them or won’t use them):
Beauty & Fashion:
- Jewelry
- Makeup
- Skincare
- Haircare
- Perfumes
- Bags/accessories (she was recently gifted one)
Home & Lifestyle:
- Scented candles
- Flowers
- Home décor
- Home appliances
- Crockery
- Baking/kitchen appliances
- Blankets, PJs, cozy wear
Entertainment & Hobbies:
- Puzzles
- Board games
- Entertainment subscriptions
- Radios (she listens to music on her phone)
- Kindle/electronics
Food & Drink:
- Alcohol/wine related gifts (she doesn’t drink)
- Food/tea/coffee assortments (she’s very particular)
- Gift cards/certificates
- Subscriptions (skeptical, especially food-related)
- HATES SWEETS
- Spicy stuff- Loves em I am a lil skeptical bout em
Sentimental/Personalized:
- Photo/sentimental gifts
- Personalized gifts (she won’t use them)
- Experience gifts (she’s already going out with friends)
Practical Everyday Items:
- Bottles
- Totes
- Gadgets
- Salon/spa related gifts
I’m stuck! I already have a book and a clothing item for her, but I want to add a few smaller things that she’ll actually enjoy.
PLEASE HELP!!!
