Gift ideas for your mom, mother-in-law or beloved aunt

A cozy blanket to curl under when they are on the sofa watching a show or in their favourite chair reading. Check out this one or this one. Or, if you know of a book they want, wrap the gifts together.

How about a new teapot and some funky big mugs to go with it? Or partner it up with some fresh loose leaf teas. You can find the one pictured above here. Check these out for a variety of styles and colours. 

You can go for something a little more sentimental, by filling up a collection of frames with family photos, like this great all in one piece from the Urban Barn. Or how about creating a photo calendar or photo book using simple user friendly software found here or here.

I love giving an experience as a gift. Does your mom like to golf? Buy her a round at a fancy course that she'd never treat herself to. Does she love to cook? Buy her a French cooking class at a local school. Does she enjoy the theatre? How about tickets to an upcoming play? Does she enjoy a little pampering? How about a spa gift certificate? Or, my favourite, a weekend getaway somewhere. 

A purse is a very personal choice, but a smaller clutch is a fun accessory that makes a safe gift choice. I'd add a perfume rollerball (like one of these ones) as a little gift inside. A new wallet is also a good bet as most of us are pretty rough on ours throughout the year.
