Your love is manifested through how you pay attention to her wants and her little quirks. Love is embodied as attention.

The saying “age is just a number” is a mantra that some mothers live by. They are the ones who have a stable skincare routine since they were younger or those who easily ride on skincare trends, such as that famous 10-step Korean skincare routine years back. And well, who can blame them, right? Receiving comments that you look younger than your age is a top-tier experience.

For some people, written words come easier than when spoken. If your mom is one of those people then she’ll appreciate a journal as a gift on valentine’s day. With a journal, she can write her thoughts, feelings, and experiences for each day. She can also write down her plans and ideas that she wishes to fulfill in the following days. And the good thing about gifting a journal is that it comes in different sizes and designs. You can choose hardbound journals with ruled or dotted pages. There are also smaller softbound journals. You get to decide which your mom will like the best. 

Love also goes beyond actions, love also flows through words and thoughts. By filling up a journal, they let their love flow through words, sentences, and paragraphs. 

For All Kinds of Mothers 

One foolproof gift that will surely tug at your mom’s heartstrings on valentine’s day is a handwritten letter. They never go out of style, right? And if you are someone who shies away from verbally saying “I love you”, “I miss you”, and “Thank you”, now is the perfect opportunity. Not only will it be a gift that they can keep for a long time, and read it again and again, it is also proof that they are on your mind when Valentine’s day came and went. 

Regardless if your mom is the adventurous and always on the go mom or one who prefers to stay at home or even someone who shows their love in a loud and boisterous manner, all kinds of mothers deserve a Valentine’s gift that matches their love for you. And a heartfelt hand-written letter delivers the message very well. Oh, you might want to prepare a couple of tissues for the water works. Both of you might end up crying afterwards.

For mothers who have a sweet tooth!

It goes without saying that a valentine’s day celebration is never complete without a handful of chocolates. In fact, this is quite obviously the most common item on any valentine’s gift ideas for mom that people can come up with. There are even some cultures, especially in the East, that take this opportunity to confess their love or admiration for someone by giving them handmade chocolates at this special event. However, when it comes to giving chocolates to your mom, you don’t need to confess anything. The gesture is a mere reminder of your spoken or unspoken, gentle or loud, undying, and unceasing love for them. 

And if you want to take the cheesiness level up a notch, you can always learn to cook chocolate and mold it into designs that remind you of your relationship with your mom. You can even make a chocolate design of your mom’s face. If cooking chocolates is something new for you, then start practicing now. 

The celebration of Valentine’s day is often equated to celebrating the love of couples, of romantic relations. But, Valentine’s day celebrates all kinds of love. All the forms that it comes in. And the loving relationship between a mother and child is worth celebrating always, especially on Valentine’s day. For all the things that your mother provided you through the years, giving them gifts on special occasions is one of the many ways to give something back to them. I hope that the list we prepared for you came in handy. 

Don’t forget to celebrate love everyday!
