5 Gifts for Mom to Give This Christmas 2024

It’s not easy finding the perfect present for mothers and you may really feel the pressure when Christmas rolls around. This year, why not try gift experiences for mom that will outlast any flower delivery or box of chocolate? Instead of just receiving physical items, your mom will have the opportunity to learn, get creative, and unwind with a fun activity. Plus she’ll have fond memories that last far beyond the holidays.

Here are five of our favorites in 2024.

Pour custom candles

It’s always lovely to remember your mom by the lovely scent she wears. She can take her favorite fragrances and create her own candles with a candle making class. With a workshop, she can experiment with different colors, scents, shapes, and sizes until she finds the perfect mix that suits her taste and she’ll go home with candles that will brighten up any room in her house.

Add new recipes to her repertoire

Cooking classes are another fantastic experience gift idea for mom this Christmas. Whether she's a seasoned chef looking to expand her culinary skills or a novice eager to learn the basics, cooking classes offer an engaging way for her to pick up new recipes and techniques while having fun at the same time. It could even be a chance for you two to bond by taking a class together!

Decorate with flower wreaths

For the moms who love going all out on holiday decorations, a wreath making class is the ideal experience gift. She’ll get hands-on instruction with a flower expert and learn all the basics to create a fresh floral wreath perfect for hanging indoors or outside on her door. With seasonal flowers, branches, and a big, colorful bow she’ll be proud of her original creation to welcome guests for any festive occasion.

Test her mettle with a metalsmithing class

If Mom has an adventurous streak then flexing her muscles in a metalsmithing class might be right up her alley! A class on knife making offers not just an exciting afternoon but gives her practical knowledge on creating custom knives by learning how to heat and form a blade. This makes a truly unique Christmas gift and she’ll have a forever piece from her class to remember this experience.

Create personalized perfume

If your mom is into fragrances, then perfume-making workshops would be a perfect fit. She'll learn about different scent families and how they interact with each other before blending her own signature fragrance from scratch! She’ll learn about carrier oils and how to bottle her perfume to make them last. Every time she wears her signature scent, she’ll think of your thoughtful gift. 

Choosing experience gifts for mom this Christmas means opting for lifelong memories over material possessions. Take a class with her and spend quality time together – something that any mother will appreciate over presents.
