No idea what to give mom for Mother's Day? Get inspired with these top 10 Mother's Day gift ideas and tips especially for men. We owe our existence to our mother. That is why it is important to put our mother in the spotlight for that one special day of the year, although this is not a license to neglect her for the rest of the year.

Top 10 Mother's Day gift ideas and tips especially for men

In this article some ideas and tips to spoil mother extra on the second Sunday in May, Mother's Day, especially for the men. Why especially for the men? Men may be a little less creative and sometimes need some extra tips and ideas, but of course women can also get ideas with these tips.

1. Flowers

Although it may seem like a very trite idea at first glance, nothing could be further from the truth. After all, every woman loves flowers, but that's not so much what Mother's Day is about. Mother's Day is all about choosing the right flowers. A woman can see in this way whether it is an average, everyday bouquet or a bouquet that has been put together with love, with perhaps more expensive flowers.

If you also put the flowers in a prominent place in the house, they will make mother very happy. Incidentally, the idea behind giving flowers is as simple as it is clear:flowers are beautiful, being a mother is beautiful and beautiful things deserve to be together.

2. Candles

Many women love the dim, romantic light of a candle, so all the more reason to give mom a candle for Mother's Day. When choosing the candle, pay attention not only to the color, but also to the shape. Or opt for a scented candle with her favorite scent. Tip:take a look around her house and match the color to the furnishing/style of the interior.

3. A gift voucher

Not a very original gift at first glance, so I'll explain this in more detail. Mothers spend a large part of their lives shopping for others (husband, children, gifts for others, etc.). Rarely will a mother go shopping for herself extensively. Hence the idea to give her a gift voucher from her favorite store for Mother's Day.

With this she can buy something for herself to her heart's content. Nowadays you can also request an online code to shop online. You can never go wrong with a gift voucher:mother can choose what she wants and a bad buy is therefore excluded.

4. Gift basket full of nice gadgets

Buy a basket and put luxury goods in it to spoil mother extra. That can be a basket full of luxury food, fun hobby items or, for example, fun baking items. Match the gift basket to a hobby of your mother and surprise her this year.

5. Spa pampering day at home

Another idea for Mother's Day is to give a basket full of nice home care items. Maybe mother has a bath, then she can be spoiled with a nice bath foam, scrub for the body, a nice scent. In short, everything that mother can use to plan a wonderful pampering day for herself. In addition to being a mother, she is also just a woman and she may well think about that. No idea how to put it together yourself? Then choose a gift set.

6. Decoration for the home – home decoration

Whether it's a new rug, a plaid for the couch or a nice footstool. Mother will be happy if she gets something nice for the house for Mother's Day as a gift. Also make sure that it suits her taste and the style of the house.

Whether it's a new rug, a plaid for the couch or a nice footstool. Mother will be happy if she gets something nice for the house for Mother's Day as a gift. Also make sure that it suits her taste and the style of the house.

Also take a look at the wall decoration of Muurtje.nl. For example, give your mother a beautiful wall circle or tapestry.

7. A nice gift

Mother can be spoiled for her best with something tasty on this special day. A delicious box of chocolates, her favorite cookies, chocolate that mother loves or just a little bit of everything. Let mother also enjoy something delicious, without having to pay attention to the kilos. Moreover, chocolate is not as unhealthy as originally thought.

8. Give a plant – say it with flowers

If you prefer not to give flowers to your mother, you can of course also choose to spoil your mother with a nice plant. That may be a plant for the garden or a plant for the home (TIP:an orchid!). Preferably make sure that it is a flowering plant, that gives just that little bit extra color to Mother's Day.

9. A nice scent – ​​Perfume

This is a somewhat risky idea, as you need to be completely sure you're buying the right perfume for mom. Perhaps a look in the bedroom is enough to find out what mothers prefer. It is an ideal gift for those who know their mother's favorite scent.

10. Spa pampering package

There will be few mothers who will not appreciate this gift:a wonderful spa pampering package. A day when mother can relax for a whole day, without a husband and child(ren) around her. After a day of pampering, mother will also be able to face it with new energy and fresh courage. An ideal gift for Mother's Day! Instead of a spa pampering package, you can also give a float session as a gift. Especially nice if your mother has no experience with floating yet.

Bonus Tips

Surprise your mother with a personal gift

Do you want to give mom a unique gift this year? Then give her a flower pot   with her favorite photo of you. Take a walk to the supermarket to buy a nice flower, herbs or succulent plant for the flower pot. So the gift is complete! If you want to give her a soft and original gift, design your own pillow with a photo. A photo with a pillow is a super personal gift for the interior. Both gifts will brighten up the interior.

Make your own Mother's Day gift

You can also make a nice homemade Mother's Day gift. How about a decorated flower pot (ideal for small children) or a homemade candle? You can really go in all directions with a homemade gift. Are you handy with the sewing machine? Surprise mother with a handmade apron or a nice dress. Can you bake? Then make a delicious German Bienenstich or a red wine cake.

The following gifts are absolute misses

In addition to all the above ideas, a list of things that are absolute misses and should be avoided:
Household articles :This is not just trite, but bluntly a slap in the face to the mother, because it once again emphasizes the role of the mother (the household is hers). There is an exception to this:a luxury product that makes household work easier, such as a dishwasher, a dryer, a luxury cappuccino machine and the like
Give something as a gift that should have been replaced a long time ago under the guise of:'two birds with one stone'. This indicates that it is useful to give mother something that is needed as a present, DON'T!
– Plan a family day out if mother already has a lot on her mind every day. Mother's Day is special for mom:let her decide!
–  Money so that mother can find out for herself. This shows lack of style and shows that one does not want to make any effort for mother.
