It's clear that mums deserve to be spoiled on Mother's Day (and as often as possible), but as they get older, this can become more difficult. Not only might you struggle to think of gifts she wants or needs, but changes in her health might mean she can't enjoy things she used to. Plus, depending on if she now lives in a nursing home or assisted living facility, there might not be much space for extra gifts.

Fortunately, even with some practical limitations, there are several gifts for elderly women that can make any Mother’s Day memorable. Below are some great gift options worth considering.

Best Mother’s Day Gifts for Elderly Women

1. Le Creuset Stoneware Heart Shaped Spoon Rest

For the home chef or baking mum in your life, put a little love on display with the Le Creuset Stoneware Heart Shaped Spoon Rest. Made from Le Creuset’s signature premium stoneware, it has a nonstick glaze for easy cleanup, and its wide heart shape is perfect for holding spoons, spatulas, and ladles without sliding. It’s also nonporous, non-reactive, and resistant to chips, scratches, and stains — and as a bonus, it’s dishwasher-safe.

2.  Leather Gardening Gloves

Let's be real: How long has your mom had her gardening gloves? Chances are, she's had them for far too many years and deserves an upgrade to a higher quality pair.
