Thoughtful Gifts for the Grooms Mother

They say if you have a good relationship with your mother-in-law you will have your husband’s heart forever. So they say - we’re not trying to debunk that. Technically, she is a part of the reason that your wedding is happening, raising a loving son who brings you happiness. It's only right that you give her something to show your appreciation. So what are the best gifts for the mother of the groom? We've got you covered! From personalized mugs to custom-framed prints, we've rounded up the top gifts for the groom's mother. 

A custom trinket ring dish or tray 

You could get mom something nice from Amazon, but why not give her a gift that's hand-painted with a special message that she'll treasure forever? A breathtakingly beautiful trinket ring dish with a lovely floral design is a great gift for the groom's mother.

Breathtakingly beautiful keepsake necklace

If you're looking for a more personal touch, you can get the groom's mother a small piece of jewelry that she can wear every day. For something simple, a sterling silver chain bracelet with a heart-shaped charm will be great. You could also give her a personalized pendant with an engraved cross on it, or a necklace with a charm attached to it. Jewelry is a classic gift for women, and moms always love jewelry. Choose a piece that matches the groom’s mother’s style.

A personalized heart sculpture 

A personalized heart sculpture can express your love and appreciation. A personalized heart sculpture for the groom's mother is a thoughtful and unique gift that says "I Love You". This sculpture can be handcrafted using premium materials, it comes in various sizes and colors, and can be made ready to hang on any wall. 

Uniquely designed earrings 

Mothers are one of the most important people in our life. They’ve taken care of us, they love us unconditionally, and they taught us everything about life. A pair of uniquely designed earrings are an elegant way to show your appreciation, gratitude, and love for your mother or mother-in-law. Choose a pair that's made from sterling silver with a pearl center. There are different designs to choose from: one for everyday wear, one for evening wear, and one for special occasions. Find a jeweler that will carefully craft the earrings so that she can wear them for years to come.

Mother/Son double picture frames

Double photo frames are a fancy way to display pictures of you and your mom with you and your new spouse. Find a frame that has sentimental value or pick one that matches mom’s style. Make it more meaningful by having it customized with a personal message.

Personalized Jewelry Boxes

Jewelry boxes come in many different styles and materials. If your mother or soon-to-be mother-in-law is a jewelry lover, gift her a new jewelry box. It’s a great keepsake that will last for a long time. Choose one that’s made out of wood and have it personalized for your mother or mother-in-law. 

A day at the spa with a lavender gift set

Spa treatments are a wonderful way to get pampered and bond with your soon-to-be mother-in-law. Massages with oils, facials, manicures, and pedicures are just a few examples of spa treatments that would make both of you feel refreshed just in time for the big day. If you want to go the extra mile after you’ve spent the day at the spa together, treat her to a lavender gift set. There’s nothing more relaxing than the soothing scent of lavender.

Personalized throw pillow

Throw pillows are a quick and easy way to spruce up any bedroom, living room couch, or chair. They can be customized with messages, names, dates, or even monograms. If mom is into home décor, throw pillows are an affordable option. 

Beautifully scented candles

Is she into scented items? If so, you may want to consider giving her a meaningful scented candle. Candles are a simple way to lighten a mood or create ambiance. They can even be customized with names, dates, or special messages. 

Plants

Plants are another great gift for the groom's mother. Choose from annuals like geraniums, which bloom in spring; perennials like hostas that come back year after year; and groundcovers like impatiens, which grow quickly and spread easily. Plants are a beautiful way to brighten up any room, provide clean oxygen, purify the air, and help reduce stress.

Customized printed towels

Custom printed towels are a thoughtful and unique gift idea for mom. You can find a variety of designs online and at local stores. Have your wedding date and “mom of the groom” printed on them. 

Personalized travel bag

Bags are a quick and easy solution to carry around small items like keys, wallets, and phones. Does mom like to travel? Does she often carry around totes? Then this is the perfect gift. Choose a travel bag that matches her style. 

Fancy chocolates

Chocolates are an acceptable gift for any occasion. They're delicious and they go well with just about anything. If your mother or mother-in-law is a chocolate lover, you can’t go wrong here. Create a nice little gift basket filled with fancy chocolates. 

A memorable snow globe

Snow globes are a classic year-round decoration. They look pretty on a mantle or on a shelf and they can be customized with sentimental things such as pictures on the inside. When shopping for a gift for your mom or mother-in-law, pick something thoughtful that she can appreciate and cherish forever. Whether it's a beautiful bouquet of flowers or a personalized keepsake, whatever gift you choose, focus on the sentimental value rather than worrying about how expensive it is. 

About Happenings™ 

Based in Manhattan, Happenings™ founder Tom Noel would often take a walk through Central Park. In 2008, during one of his walks, he stopped to sit at one of his favorite iconic locations in the Park, the Bethesda Fountain. There, Mr. Noel noticed that the intrinsic beauty that surrounded him was not being fully harnessed. He also realized that not a single business provided the exclusiveness of an affordable and high-quality event planner. Determined to change this, Happenings™ was born.
