This is your ultimate Christmas Gift Guide bringing you 24 gift ideas for Mom.
It’s hard to begin an article about gift ideas for Mom without dropping in a well-worn cliché about why she deserves to be spoilt.
Behind every great Christmas, there’s a great Mom.
Mom is always the person who meticulously buys and wraps every present in your stocking. Dad is as surprised as you are to see what’s inside. Etc. Etc.
I didn’t want to generalize, but for many of us, these things are true. Even if they aren’t relevant to you, the fact you are searching for amazing gifts for your old mother suggests she is someone who should receive something special this year.
When it comes to Christmas gifts for Mom, I strongly believe they should fall into two categories. Firstly, they should be something that will enhance her downtime and aid restoration. Secondly, it needs to be a treat. My definition of a treat is something special and definitely something she usually wouldn’t buy for herself.
And these are the principles I’ve stuck to for this gift list. From cozy socks to gadgets and loungewear, here’s a selection of things she’ll love whether she’s 30 or 70. Of course, this being The Glazed, it’s also a very beauty-heavy list – I’ve found the best gift sets for 2024, along with the skincare tech worth investing in. For years, I wrote these guides for the beauty websites I worked for, and there were always “sponsored” items I had to include. It has been great to have the freedom to research and select all the gifts I know are excellent and would actually buy for my own Mom or myself!
Even better, everything is just one click away at Amazon- you’re welcome!
1.Aromatherapy Associates Bath & Shower Oil Collection
This is a very special gift for a very special woman; the luxe navy box opens to reveal a library of ten sumptuous bath & shower oils. You only need to use a few drops to release an incredible aroma, so the set will last her all year long.

The most hardworking item in any woman’s closet! These butter-soft leggings are perfect for lounging around the house, exercising, or even layering under a long top. And I’ve just talked myself into buying another pair…

What better gift than a luxurious bath soak? This is probably the best I’ve ever tried! It produces rich creamy bubbles that smell heavenly and feel like a real treat to use. She’ll love it.
6. NuFace Mini Kit

7. Neon Perfect Night’s Sleep Candle
It’s physically impossible to write a gift guide for Mom without including a candle, but this one is truly magnificent. Neom pure soy candles burn cleanly, leaving your whole home smelling like an expensive spa. Ideal for a Mom who needs chill time.
8. L’Occitane Shea Hand Butter Cream
It’s not the most glam gift on the list, but all moms have dry hands (why is this?), and this is the best hand cream out there. It absorbs without that greasy feel and will leave her skin silky smooth. A great stocking filler!

Label this one under “gifts for Mom I want for myself.” Jokes aside, this CurrentBody LED mask is one of the best value on the market and has proven anti-aging, wrinkle-reducing power. Also, you could actually borrow it with minimal drama.
