Sunday is fast-approaching for Mother’s Day, and it’s crucial to consider the perfect gift for the woman who has not only given birth to you but also often served as your cook, warden, and personal chauffeur. From early morning school runs to late-night emergency pickups, Mom has always taken the driver’s seat in our lives, steering us toward joy and success.
As a mother of five, I’ve discovered that I am the family’s mood board. When I’m feeling excellent and playful, everyone is relaxed and up and about in the watering hole (house). When I’m irritable or upset, the natives keep to themselves in their own natural habitat, avoiding my wrath. There’s a well-known phrase: “Happy wife, happy life.” This also applies to a happy Mom = less emotional damage.
This year’s Gift Guide is all about making Mom’s life easier, particularly focusing on gifts that enhance her mobility and lessen her irritability. Each gift idea is carefully selected to show your thoughtfulness and consideration for her needs and your safety.
TREAD COMFORTABLY
ON shoes have become a massive hit, especially with their new walking shoes designed for everyday wear. They provide such comfort that every step feels like gliding on a well-paved road—perfect for the marathon that is motherhood.
LUXE UPGRADE
Consider elevating her automotive experience with the face-lifted Mercedes-Benz CLA 200 Progressive. This model features a sporty design, advanced safety systems, and a tech-loaded cockpit, making every drive a pleasure.
Moms can take On’s Cloud X 3 AD from the gym floor, straight into their everyday life. Made for an active lifestyle, this lightweight and ultra-agile shoe can handle it all.
MOM’S DAY OFF DESTINATION
Send her to The Henry Hotel, The Farm at San Benito, or the Grand Hyatt in BGC—for a solo trip. She must go alone or with friends to truly unwind, as moms often end up care-giving even on vacation.
ANGER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Again, the operating word is to avoid or limit your mom’s irritability.
One major cause of irritability is lack of sleep. For better sleep, try to remove all the blue light in Mom’s room. Get her a sleep fitness tracker like the Oura ring or FitBit. Get her a Ooler (a mattress topper that can work as a cooler or heater) to battle out the hot flashes at night.
Another thing worth introducing to your mom is pickleball. It is an excellent way to introduce movement and anger management in a fun activity that is not hard on the knee. Giving your mom an avenue to release her tension productively is better than having an angry mom driving on the street.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY
Remember, your time and presence are the most valuable gifts you can give your mom. All the gifts mentioned in this guide will be even more special if you go and personally join her—except perhaps on her day off! Celebrate this Mother’s Day by giving her the keys to joy, comfort, and luxury because every mom deserves to navigate her life in the best lane possible.
Happy Mothers’ Day!
