Gift ideas for your mother
Good gifts for a mother are a vase of flowers that lasts for days in her living room, flowers with perfume or chocolate, or a perfume she knows or a silver ring that stays with her. Her taste, her pick: on Haddiyah she keeps one of 2 to 8 gifts. No occasion is needed: these gifts for a mother suit Mother's Day, her birthday, your return from a trip, or any day you want to say thank you.
A gift for your mother that lives in her home
A vase is the first gift for a mother: it arrives arranged and ready, sits in the living room or by the entrance, and lasts for days. Whites, pinks and calm colours are what mothers like most, and some vases hold orchids and plants that live longer.
Bouquets and flower baskets
If you want the flowers placed in her hands, a bouquet is closer. A basket has more presence and needs no vase. Both come with a card carrying your message.
Flowers with perfume or chocolate
One gift with two parts: the flowers delight her today, and the perfume or chocolate completes it. Chocolate works well if her house is never short of guests.
Sweets for the family gathering at her house
If your mother's house is where the family gathers every week, something served with the coffee pleases her in front of everyone: baklava, petit fours, Hasawi cookies or a box of chocolate. It also works if she is not a big fan of flowers. For her birthday, a cake arrives ready and you cut it with her at the same gathering.
A gift that stays: perfume or silver
A perfume she knows by name, or a silver ring or earrings with a design from Saudi heritage. Jewelry is delivered in Riyadh and takes longer to prepare, and for rings she chooses her size from the link, so you do not need to know it.
A bigger gift from all her children
If you all chip in, go bigger: a large flower basket, a big orchid or hydrangea vase, or flowers with sweets for her guests.
Can't agree on her taste? Let her choose: set out 2 to 8 gifts within one budget and she keeps one. You don't need her address either: she sets her location and delivery time. See how letting them choose works.
Before you send
- Write the card in your own words: one short line from you is worth more to her than the gift.
- If your brothers and sisters are chipping in, pick several gifts and let her choose, and you all pay for one bigger gift.
- Timing matters to a mother: she sets the delivery time from the link, so the gift does not arrive while she is out.
- For Mother's Day order early, especially silver, because it takes longer to prepare. For the card, see what to write in a gift card.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best gift for a mother?
A flower vase or a bouquet comes first, with a perfume or chocolate. Silver or a perfume is the better choice if you want a gift that stays after the flowers fade.
When is Mother's Day?
In Saudi Arabia and the Arab world it falls on 21 March every year.
My mother is in another city. Can I send to her?
Yes if she is in Riyadh and Jeddah. You enter her name and mobile, and she sets her location and delivery time from the link.
Does my mother see the price?
No. The page she receives shows no price, only the gift, your message and your name.
What should I give my elderly mother?
Something that does not tire her and pleases her at home. An orchid vase or arranged flowers that need no care, sweets she can serve her guests, or a perfume she has known for years. She sets the delivery time that suits her.
What should I give my mother for her birthday?
A cake that arrives ready for the family gathering with a flower vase, or a perfume she loves. If you do not know what she wants, pick several gifts and she chooses one without seeing the prices.
