In this post, we shall give you tips on how to gift mums on their birthdays properly, plus select 8 unique gifts available at Gift World Kenya that are among the best you should consider if you want to give your mum the perfect gift for her next birthday. Keep reading the post on how to gift mums on their birthdays properly.

Tips on Birthday Gifts for Mums

For the next birthday present for mum, consider the following tips:

• Investigate a little. You will have to investigate what your mum uses the most, as they are the best guides to what you can get her for her birthday. Never make the mistake of asking your mum what she wants for her birthday. Chances are that she will tell you she is okay and that if you spend some time with her, she’ll be fine.

• For perfumes, never pick any from the store. Try to know what kind of fragrance she usually wears by going through her drawer and seeing what bottles of perfume she has. Her favorite will be the one with the least in the bottle since it means she usually wears that one. That is the one you should get her.

• For magazines and other publications, please pay attention to the kind she usually reads. You can also try to know why she likes such magazines by looking at their content. You can then surprise her by getting her similar ones or by paying a subscription for online magazines on the same topics.

• Books are a favorite pastime for most mums. For the next birthday present for mum, you can consider getting her new copies from her favorite author or genre. You should look at her read books or go see her “to read” as a guide on what kind of books she loves reading. You can also get her an autographed copy from her favorite author. You can also consider paying subscriptions to online libraries where she can get an endless supply of books.

• For flowers, look at your mum’s garden or the walls inside the house to determine what kind she loves. Although many people are uncomfortable with flowers as a birthday present for mum, they are the best, especially when you are not sure what else to get her or are on a low budget.

• For chocolates and other sweet items, you should first find out what are her favorite flavors. Make sure your mum has no allergies to nuts or caramel, which are primarily contained in chocolates. You can go a mile further by getting several varieties of chocolates and mixing them in a gift basket.

• For jewelry, make sure that they are the stones or metals she usually wears. You will know that by looking at her past pictures to see what she has previously worn on other occasions. The jewelry can also be inscribed with particular messages to express your feelings. If your mum watches movies or soap operas, you can get her replicas of jewelry women by her favorite actresses.

• Practical gifts can also be used as birthday gifts for mums. Look at what your mother does daily and get something to help her with her chores. For example, if she likes cooking, you can get her the latest microwave to help out in the kitchen. If she loves hosting people, you can get a nice set of china.

• For milestone birthdays, remember to get her something that corresponds to her new age set or brings out the best of that age group. You can research what mums want for 50th, 60th, 70th, etc., and get a matching item online. It’s embarrassing to your mum when she’s getting older, and you get her chick or girlie items for her birthday.
