Compiled by, Syndey of Sydney Luella Receiving gifts is fun, but planning and shopping for what you’re going to buy friends and family has to be even more exciting. Of all the gifts you’ll buy this season, treating your mom to something nice is especially important. However, with so many choices, finding the perfect present can seem a little daunting. If you’re completely stumped on what to get, we’re here to help! Check out our best picks for moms: 1. Diptyque Candle // A luxurious, great smelling candle is one of the best things you can treat your mom to for the holidays. It’s small, but really nice and not something she would typically buy for herself. 2. Clarisonic Radiance Set // Why not give the gift of gorgeous skin? This Clarisonic set is a great value, and will make your mom feel like she’s at a spa every time she washes her face. 3. Lancome ‘La Vie Est Belle’ Perfume // Buying perfume can sometimes be risky, but this popular Lancome scent is universally loved and a safe bet. It’s light, floral scent that’s perfect for everyday, so it’s likely to become your mom’s new signature scent. 4. Pajama Set // Just because you’re on a budget, doesn’t mean you can’t spoil your mom. A great set of pajamas, like these from J. Crew, are pretty inexpensive but will still be useful all year round. 5. Leather Gloves // A great pair of leather gloves are a cold-weather staple. If your mom doesn’t have a classic pair like these from Kate Spade, now is the perfect time to snag them for her. 6. Monogrammed Tray // If your mom loves home decor, this is a great option. A monogrammed tray is cute, personalized and unexpected. Order early because monogramming usually takes a few weeks! 7. Nespresso Machine // We saved the best for last! If you really want to treat your mom this year, a Nespresso machine is definitely the way to do it. It’ll be like having a French cafe right in her kitchen. 40
