New Year is, perhaps, the only holiday, the chores before which give both pleasure and a headache. How can you please mom and how not to get into a mess with a gift for her? Here is one of the important questions that arise on the eve of the winter holiday.
Indeed, a gift for mom for the New Year always wants to be made meaningful, bringing joy and at the same time useful.
Our mothers, of course, accept traditional cosmetic sets favorably, like all our other gifts, but we must admit that cosmetics are not the best choice.
Women of the post-war generation, who grew up in a different era, of course, take care of themselves and use all types of cosmetics, but most often it happens that two or three jars of cream are enough for them for six months, shampoos and balms - for several months, a bottle of perfume - in general for several years.
Therefore, cluttering up mom's shelves in the bathroom with new bottles and beautiful jars looks just like a formality on our part - we gave up and calmed down with a clear conscience.
What gifts can be really useful, functional and pleasant for our mothers?
A beautiful set of bathrobes and fluffy towels will never be superfluous - the main thing is not to be mistaken with the colors and choose not the one that will appeal to us, but which would please the mother most of all - taking into account her age, preferences and peculiarities of the bathroom interior.
Having settled on the decision to donate some household appliances, you should not complicate my mother's life with ingenious devices, the control of which will be difficult for her to figure out.
A good option would be a humidifier - in winter, such a gift will be especially relevant.
Due to a lack of moisture, not only the human respiratory system suffers, but also the skin, which is especially important for a woman.
In addition, excessive dryness of the air negatively affects the condition of furniture, parquet, musical instruments, indoor flowers.
If you plan to celebrate the New Year separately from your parents, then a basket with gourmet foods can be a good gift.
When choosing products, you should avoid fatty, smoked, spicy foods, it is better to give preference to delicacies from lean meat and fish, fruits, berries, herbs, good chocolate.
Such a gift will not be entirely appropriate in the case of a joint celebration - most likely, it will turn out that all the presented delicacies will be put on the festive table by the mother and will not have time to taste even half of the gifts she herself has.
A very convenient and modern gift can be a magnetic writing board. Such a gift will allow you to leave notes for memory, write small notes to the rest of the family.
The board is easily attached to any metal surface - as a rule, it turns out to be a refrigerator, it can have various shapes, which will allow such a gift to become an element of the overall design of the kitchen.
Various automatic massagers will also be a good gift: for legs, lower back, neck muscles, etc.
As a rule, such devices are equipped with the ability to use both universal programs and settings of individual parameters.
But before buying a massager, you need to make sure that your mother has no contraindications to using this technique.
Surely mom will like a gift in the form of a warm blanket with natural filling - for example, goose or swan down; cozy and soft blanket; orthopedic pillow, comfortable sheet with an elastic band.
But the most important thing to be guided by when choosing a New Year's gift for mom is a sincere desire to bring joy to the closest person.
Therefore, take the choice of a gift seriously - let it be inexpensive, but made with a soul, mom will always feel it!
