Christmas Gift Guide Series: For Your Mom

This will be the first blog post of my new series for Christmas!
Hopefully these upcoming posts will help you decided what to purchase for Holiday gifts!

Mothers.

Inexpensive easy gifts
You may not have enough money or whatever the situation is, you want to provide a gift for your mom without splurging.
*D.I.Y gifts are super easy and they provide a more sentimental feel. You can definitely check youtube or online anywhere for some d.i.y ideas!
1) I recommend a handwritten card. Simply pour out your heart on a card and tell her that you love her. Parents always want to be told that their kids love them. If you don't say that often, I recommend telling them this Christmas. It will bring joy to their faces. If you really can't afford a card, just make one yourself! It's super easy and I always do it!
2) Another gift is a scrapbook with pictures. It's really thoughtful and nice when you compile up memorable pictures in a book. They can look through them and reminisce. As you heard many people say "pictures are worth a thousand words".

Gifts
Now, for those who have money to spend here are some ideas!
It all depends on what your mother likes.

1) Fragrance
Maybe there's a scent that your mom really likes. Especially in the holidays, there are special gift sets that are a lot cheaper!
Some classic perfume scents for your mom are Dior J'adore or Chanel No5
or candles! I'm obsessed with candles. Definitely buy some Bath & Body Works Candles or Yankee Candles!

2) Jewelry
Does your mother like gold, silver, rose gold, etc?
Try to figure that out and purchase some jewelry; a necklace, ring, bracelet, or earings.
If you really don't know what they like, maybe leave a Tiffany & Co's booklet on the table or something and she will probably look through it. Or look through her jewelry and check what kind of style she likes!

3) Make-Up
If your mom wears makeup, definitely buy her some goodies.
During the holidays, there are always special sets in Sephora that you can buy!
I bought my mom the Naked 2 Palette last year and she LOVES it. She uses it every single day!
Some great eyeshadow palettes are all the Urban Decay Naked Palettes(Naked Palette 3 recently came out), Lorac Pro Palette, Lorac Pro To Go Palette, & the Too Faced Eyeshadow Palettes.
For lipsticks definitely try out Nars, Mac, or YSL lipsticks. These are pretty pricey though, especially the YSL lipsticks. However, YSL lipsticks have the prettiest packaging and a great creamy formula.
