Mother’s Day gifts a little out of the ordinary
Mothers deserve attention, praise, and kudos for the work they do. Here are 10 alternative Mother's Day gift ideas that show how much you appreciate her and suit different budgets.
Invite her on a hike
Pack the thermos and some good food, find a nice route, and set aside a few hours to do the most Norwegian thing possible with your mom. Perfect for fit mothers who enjoy outdoor experiences. Just remember the mountain safety rules and plenty of snacks.
Give mom a personalized coffee
The perfect Mother's Day gift for mothers of young children, or mothers who need a little extra caffeine. Coffee with your own label and text is a memorable and fun gift that is guaranteed to be used. If you need a little inspiration for the text, you can find it here.
Make mom dinner (for once)
How many times has she made dinner for you? Whether you are a master chef or completely dependent on Foodora to survive, this is a great Mother's Day gift that shows you care.
Take mom on a city walk
If you want to give an experience for Mother's Day, but aren't into hiking, a city walk can be a great gift. Find some fun buildings and sights, maybe a special shop or cafe she will like, and set up a guided tour through the city. It is also an excellent way to get to know your own city better.
Give a personalized scented candle
If mom likes good scented candles, premium ppersonalized scented candles are a perfect choice for a Mother's Day gift. Made from 100% soy wax and produced in small batches by a small French perfumery, this is a lovely gift she will love.
Organize a proper game night
Whether mom prefers Bridge or Call of Duty, invite her to a game night with prizes for the winner. Want to make it a little extra fancy? Invite her to poker or blackjack and have a dress code à la Casino Royale.
Sauna visit or sea swimming
Sauna is the new spa experience. Take her to a floating sauna, or invite mom for a swim in the sea—minus degrees are no excuse. Perfect for tough mothers who like new challenges.
Olive oil that doesn't take itself so seriously
Does mom appreciate humor and olive oil? Then this might be the perfect Mother's Day gift. Olive oil is characterized by snobbish players who all claim their olive oil is extra virgin, without most people knowing what that means. That is why we created Extra Slutty Olive Oil. Good, but experienced, olive oil that doesn't give a damn about old-fashioned norms.
Give her Bitcoin (?)
This is absolutely not financial advice. We have no idea if Bitcoin will be a good investment in the future. But if you want to give a very alternative Mother's Day gift that breaks with traditional gender patterns, maybe this is an interesting choice? You can easily buy Bitcoin via Firi.
Remember, this is really volatile and it is quite possible that you lose the entire amount. But it will surely be a talking point among mom's friends.
Take her to Wax and Wine
Can't decide between scented candles or an experience? How about both? At Byvoks' premises in Bislett, you can make scented candles from scratch with mom. Bring something good to drink and enjoy a creative workshop that lasts about 75 min. If there are more than 5 of you, you can book a private workshop where you get the whole venue to yourselves.
