One-of-a-Kind Gift Ideas for Mom

It’s almost Mother’s Day again and I’m sure it’s not just me who’s scrambling about trying to find a gift for moms and my moms-at-heart. I’ve given my mom so many gifts and frankly, it’s been a hit and miss game I’ve been playing for several years already. I sometimes get her something I know she loves using or something she loves eating only to find out later on that’s she’s into trying something completely different whether it be new scents, new styles or new flavors. So my gift just sits there for ages waiting, gathering dust, and waiting for the moment my mom decides to wear that dress I gave her three years for her birthday, or that perfume I gifted her two christmases ago. And one of those rare times I give her something new and exciting like a dinner out at a trendy new restaurant, , she would say how she wishes we just ate in her good old favorite restaurant, something more familiar to herTrust me, moms can be picky too. Even though they tell their children that no matter what we give them, they would be truly happy, they still have their preferences. It’s not that they meant to offend us, it’s just that at that point in time, she was just in a mood to try something different from what we would have guessed

And I’m sure there are others like me who have this dilemma on how to give gifts to all the important women in our lives, not only our own mothers, but our mothers-in-law, grandmothers and our dear sisters and friends some or many of which are mothers as well. Not just for Mother’s Day but for all other occasions, be it their birthdays, Christmas or what have you. It’s always a constant challenge to give gifts to women who have different tastes, most especially to women who have everything who mean everything to us.

To make Mother’s Day and all these other gift giving occasions less of a headache and more about love, fun and appreciation, Gifted.PH came up with gift card suggestions. Why give a gift card you might ask? Gift cards give our moms the freedom to choose what would suit the most with their taste. A lot of times, we want to give a gift card but we think it’s too impersonal since it seems like just giving a piece of paper.   With a personalized greeting card, Gifted.PH adds a thoughtful touch to the process of gift giving. To make it an even more thoughtful gift,  you can even recommend what your mom will buy with the gift card -- But of course, she can choose whatever she wants to buy with it.   And the great thing is Gifted.PH gift cards do not have expiry dates! In case your mom doesn’t feel like eating out or going shopping as of the moment, she can keep your gift in her bureau and use it whenever she feels like it. Gifted.ph also has a wide variety of brands to choose from but we’ve curated the top brands that we think moms would appreciate the most. Here are some of our best mom-friendly gift cards:
