Mother’s Day is around the corner, and if you’re still wondering what to get the woman who gave you life, wisdom, snacks, and the wi-fi password, relax. You don’t need to go overboard or break the bank.

Here are 25 gift ideas to choose from:

1. OTT subscription: Get her hooked on a new series or historical mystery. It's cheaper than therapy and way more fun.

2. Online shopping coupon: Because nothing says “I love you” like letting her pick what she actually wants.

3. Travel kit: A sleek pouch with mini skincare, sanitizers, and maybe a passport holder, for the mom who’s manifesting her next vacation.

4. Comfortable walking shoes: Supportive, stylish, and mom-approved. Her feet deserve more than worn-out chappals.

5. A yoga mat: Bonus points if it’s non-slip and in her favorite color. Inner peace begins with comfortable downward dogs.

6. Beauty kit: Throw in the latest lip oils, blush tints, and under-eye magic potions. Glow-up, incoming.

7. Organic bath products: Lavender bath salts, rose scrubs, and sulfate-free shampoos, yes, please. Spa day in her own bathroom.

8. Flowers: Still classic, still charming. But skip the gas station bouquet. Go for fresh, seasonal blooms, or a dried floral arrangement that lasts longer.

9. A healthy-ish cake: Think almond flour, fruit glaze, or dark chocolate with avocado frosting. Sweet, but with fewer regrets.

10. Noise-cancelling headphones: Because even silence is a gift, especially if she lives in a house full of talkers.

11. Jewelry: Delicate chains or bold earrings, whatever her vibe. And yes, if you can swing the Rs. 85,000 price tag for that trending minimalist diamond ring, go ahead, favourite child.

12. E-book reader: Lightweight, backlit, and clutter-free. She can finally read that book everyone’s talking about.

13. Personalised mug: Cheesy? Maybe. But coffee tastes better when it says: World’s Best Mom, on the side.

14. Indoor plant: Low maintenance and adds a touch of green to her day, just like her WhatsApp forward game.

15. Phone stand or holder: For Zoom calls, recipe videos, and all-day scrolling without arm strain.

16. Silk sleep mask: Because beauty sleep shouldn’t come with under-eye creases.

17. Journal or planner: She’s got stories to tell and appointments to remember. Bonus: add some pastel pens.

18. Handwritten letter: Still undefeated. Tell her what she means to you, it lasts longer than any online delivery.

19. Fridge magnet set: Cute, funny, or photo-based. For moms who turn fridges into galleries.

20. Customised cushion cover: With her name, favourite quote, or just “Queen Mom.” Soft and sassy.

21. Scarf or wrap: Lightweight and elegant. Perfect for morning walks or chilly movie nights.

22. DIY photo frame: Add your favourite picture together. Nostalgia makes the best décor.

23. Scented candle: Vanilla, lavender, citrus, whatever her vibe, light it up.

24. Chocolate box (with a twist): Dark chocolate with almonds, sea salt, or chili—because she’s sweet and bold.

25. Strength training gear: Dumbbells, resistance bands, or even a compact home setup. Because strong is the new young.
