“I don’t need anything, sweetheart.” is probably the #1 Mom Statement come the holidays. Let me tell you something. It’s not helpful to you (you being the lovely child out to find the perfect token of your love) and… It’s not true. Your mother deserves a gift more than anyone else on your list. Have you ever gotten a horrible flu or food poisoning? Remember how thankful you were for the person who took care of you? Well your poor mother signed up to do that for eighteen years. Does she “need” a gift? Of course not – if you’re reading this, you have internet access and therefore none of us probably “need” a gift. But that’s not the point of a gift, is it? Your mother deserves a thank you and a little something to make her feel special during the hectic holiday season. If you check off one person on your holiday shopping list, make sure it’s your mama.
Now before we start swooning over beautiful gifts, I want to go back to the “internet access” comment above. We are all incredibly fortunate to have the things we truly need and have a bit extra to give back. If you want to do some good instead of or in addition to your Christmas gifts (this will make your mother extra happy, I promise) I suggest the following:
Heifer International: Purchase a farm animal and this organization will give it to an impoverished family around the world. My favorite gift I’ve already purchased this year? A hive of honeybees. Animals not only feed and sustain the family they are given to, they help feed that family’s community and give the family a new stream of income.
Adopt-A-Family: So many families are struggling to make ends meet this holiday season and many elderly people will be alone on Christmas. I simply searched “Adopt a Family for Christmas in Denver” to find opportunities. Be quick because most Denver programs have already filled their donor lists. The Parker Task Force still needs donations and DHS is still accepting donations. Check your neighborhood within the Be a Santa to a Senior program to help a senior in need or sign up to be a volunteer at Baskets of Joy this December 9th.
Within each gift guide, I try and give my shopping tips for the person the gift guide is dedicated to. That way, if you don’t like any of my picks you can still walk away with some tips. For mothers and mother-in-laws I try to look for items that have beautiful fabric or a great tactile quality about them. As we mentioned before, these women already have the necessities and are usually into really beautiful things that make them feel comfortable and pampered; cozy robes, cashmere-lined gloves, a heated coffee mug, and soft slippers. She probably enjoys taking care of her skin, so spoil her with the latest in beauty like this incredible magnifying and illuminating mirror, this set of luxe skincare brushes, or this microneedling gift set.
