Finding gifts for mum on Christmas is not an easy task. And even though mum will always tell us that she likes our present one way or the other, we would like to give her a Christmas present this year that she'll adore! So by opting for refurbished items for mum's Christmas gifts this year, youâll help reduce your footprint on the environment and save money â and still make your present extra special!
1. A new-ish smartphone for Christmas
Is your mom into tech? Are the photos she sends you starting to look a bit vintage? Or maybe her phone is so old that you wonder how she can still call you on it? đŹ A newer smartphone can be the ideal gift for Christmas this year!Â
It doesnât have to be the latest smartphone if she wonât benefit from all the latest features. Most moms would prefer a phone that works simply â and that you gave her thoughtfully. đ
If your mom is a connected woman, combine business with pleasure by gifting her a smartwatch this Christmas! Itâs a good idea especially if she isnât a connected woman and tends to forget her phone. đ Now there arenât any excuses for not answering our calls the first time, mum!
Available from several brands for various purposes, thereâs a smartwatch for everyone. If they have an iPhone, the Apple Watch is probably the best bet. Likewise, Samsung Galaxy watches are great for Samsung smartphone users. Or if your mom is very into fitness, pick up a Fitbit or Garmin watch instead.Â
In any case, as long as you consider how your mom would likely use the watch, sheâs sure to enjoy it daily. To go the extra mile, you can even get a little engraving! All good Christmas gift ideas for mum should be a little personalized! đ
If your mum's living room still has a stereo from the Jurassic era, it's time for you to bring her into the 21st century! While home theatre systems can be expensive, even little speakers will be sure to elevate her singing throughout the house.
A Bluetooth speaker can be the perfect gift if your mother loves music but struggles with complicated equipment. Theyâre easily portable for carrying throughout the house, most have great sound quality, and theyâre usually ultra-easy to use.
đ If you think this is the right gift indeed, check out our guide onthe best waterproof Bluetooth speakers. All the options can get overwhelming, but weâll break it down for you!
Your mom loves her hair, but she doesn't necessarily love making time (or spending money) to go to the hair salon? This could be a great Christmas gift for mum from daughters who probably have a similar type of hair!
A hair straightener quickly detangles, smoothens and straightens hair. Since theyâre so lightweight and easy to use, Mum will be able to achieve her favourite hairstyles without anyone's help.
Cooking a passion for your mum or dad (you can very well make a joint gift)? Unless your parents like spending hours in the kitchen, consider the food processor!Â
Consider a smartphone, smartwatch, Bluetooth speaker, hair straightener or food processor!
Do refurbished items make good gifts?
