Because moms are many times the primary gift-givers in a family, they oftentimes get left out of the gift equation. Yes, she might get a $2 set of votives from the holiday gift shop at school or a gift card, but what does mom really want?

Brookstone ambassador Momfluential tells us what moms really want: “Gadgets to solve my problems, gizmos to pamper me, stuff to make my life easier and more comfortable.”

When you can’t think of what to get mom, think of what would make her life easier. A cozy blanket would be great, but remember the foot warmer to make her smile.

There are great gifts for the wine lover, traveler and techie, too.

Before you buy that gift card and call it a day, remember that moms appreciate gifts, too. Or, she just might end up buying her own. As Momfluential states: “If I’m being honest, my favorite stuff at Brookstone is the stuff I want for me.”
