Mothers are the embodiment of sacrifice, love, and life. They are the ones who help bring us to this world.

May 14, 2017 is the day we remember the sacrifices and memory our mothers gave for us to reach our dreams. We put together a list that can help you decide on your perfect and practical gift for your aging momma this Mother’s Day.

1. Secure place to retire
   When you reach the age of 65, nothing may seem to change around you. But when you have passed the age of 70, all places and activities will become dangerous for you. Women who are way past their youthful years can no longer be left alone at home.

   To keep them away from harm’s way, see to it that your mom retires in a place that secures her safety from any kind of accidents and incidences. Invest on assistive equipment and tools for a better navigation. It would be greatly appreciated if you set the house up and make it comfortable for an older residence.

2. Trip to beauty shops and salon
   Your mom is still the woman that she is 40 years ago. She also still has physical insecurities. Whether you notice it or not, she also still cares about what she looks. She still fancies the idea of wearing beautiful curls or sporting her favorite makeup look.

   It does not hurt to pamper her and take her to the salon. However, you should make sure that this salon specializes in caring for the hair of older adults. You can also reward her with a trip to beauty shops where she can get her nails, makeup, and other feminine needs done.

3. Dedicated caregiver
   When you grow old, you are bound to experience further inconveniences. Mom may love tending the garden but may not be able to do so because of her weak knees. She may love a fancy and tidy house but could not maintain her abode because of her fear of falling down.

   To prevent accidents and to help mother avoid isolation and depression, it is a wise choice to act as her caregiver. Other than that, you can also ask experienced professionals to do it in your stead.

The essence of mother’s day is to return the favor your dear parent had given you. And after all these years, now is the perfect time to do so. You already have a job and you are capable of bringing food to the table. Because your mother is not at the peak of her life, things will be different.
