Holiday Gift Guide: Thoughtful gift ideas for moms and grandmas

< FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK OR PINTEREST >

Mothers deserve the best! So I never skip out on an opportunity to find a great gift for my mom. But I also tend to already know what she needs so I often don’t need to spend too much time thinking of a present for her. This year, for instance, I got a laptop for her during Black Friday because her computer recently broke down!

Having said that, however, when it comes to searching for presents to gift my grandmas, my close aunts (who are basically second moms to me), and my mother-in-law, I do spend a lot of time searching. Sometimes, they just aren’t the easiest to shop for!

Below is a list of gift ideas that I’ve put together in hopes to help make your search a lot easier. Read on for more.
