Mom is an impor­tant and dear per­son, so her birth­day is one of the most antic­i­pat­ed hol­i­days of the year. On the eve of the anniver­sary, the ques­tion always aris­es: how to sur­prise and please a loved one? What can I give mom for 55 years? We has pre­pared a selec­tion of the best ideas for sur­pris­es in hon­or of this round date to help read­ers in a dif­fi­cult but pleas­ant task.

Top 30 best options for original gifts for mom for 55 years

Some­times it can be dif­fi­cult to choose the right gift for a loved one. We advise you to lis­ten to the pref­er­ences and hob­bies of your moth­er so that the present for her anniver­sary is not only bright and orig­i­nal, but also nec­es­sary.

Gifts from daughter

From the daugh­ter, sur­pris­es can be more per­son­al, such gifts are most often dif­fer­ent from those that a son can give.

1. Joint photo session

Shared pas­time is always a valu­able and enjoy­able event. There­fore, such a present will be remem­bered for a long time, and the pic­tures will dec­o­rate a favorite cor­ner of the apart­ment or replen­ish the fam­i­ly pho­to album.

You should care­ful­ly con­sid­er the choice of a pho­tog­ra­ph­er whom you invite to shoot, choose a good entourage in accor­dance with the sea­son of the year and the ather. Per­haps it will be a bloom­ing gar­den or a snow-cov­ered for­est. No worse shots are obtained in a spe­cial­ly equipped stu­dio.

2. Plaid

A soft and warm blan­ket can dec­o­rate any inte­ri­or, it can be used as a bed­spread or tak­en out when you espe­cial­ly want warmth and com­fort.

Choose blan­kets made from nat­ur­al mate­ri­als: wool, cot­ton or fur. The main thing is to remem­ber if the birth­day girl has aller­gies.

3. Jelry

A beau­ti­ful sur­prise in an ele­gant pack­age will add to your moth­er’s col­lec­tion and will remind her of you. Don’t buy jel­ry based on trends or your own taste. Remem­ber what mom ars, maybe she doesn’t have enough pen­dant or ring for a com­plete set? And if she is uncom­fort­able aring bracelets, then your gift may also remain gath­er­ing dust in the box.

We advise you to take a clos­er look at ear­rings or neck­laces made of yel­low and white gold with small pre­cious stones. Such dec­o­ra­tion will always look styl­ish and expen­sive.

4. Perfume

If you know the pref­er­ences of the birth­day girl, you may be able to choose the per­fect per­fume. But if you are not sure of the choice, take a clos­er look at the per­fume that is on her shelf. You can take sam­ples with you to the store and ask a spe­cial­ist to help. Well, a win-win option is a cer­tifi­cate for mom’s favorite per­fume bou­tique, where she her­self can buy what­ev­er she wants.

5. Handbag

If mom loves var­i­ous acces­sories, then a new bag will def­i­nite­ly come in handy. When choos­ing a gift, be guid­ed by the style of the birth­day girl, the col­ors of her wardrobe. It is bet­ter not to save on the mate­r­i­al, and also be sure to check the qual­i­ty of the seams and fit­tings.

If your moth­er does not ar gen­uine leather clothes and acces­sories, you can look at eco-leather or tex­tile prod­ucts. Many design­ers today use these mate­ri­als.

6. Tea service

For an anniver­sary, you can give a porce­lain tea set — this is a clas­sic. Or a set of unusu­al design, col­ors. Such a gift is use­ful not only for a pleas­ant tea par­ty with guests, but also dec­o­rates your home.

But if mom already has enough dish­es, your gift may be lost among oth­er sets.

7. Smart watch

If you want to give a use­ful gift, you can opt for a smart watch. They not only show the time, but also track sleep phas­es, the num­ber of steps, many mod­els are equipped with a heart rate sen­sor and a blood oxy­gen lev­el scan­ner.​​​​​

8. Homear

If the daugh­ter knows the tastes and pref­er­ences of her par­ent ll, she will be able to find the right style and col­or of paja­mas. Prop­er­ly select­ed home clothes will empha­size all the advan­tages of the moth­er and will delight her for a long time. You can choose paja­mas made of nat­ur­al silk or cot­ton — these light­ight fab­rics help you feel com­fort­able and free, easy to care for. And a suit made of warm fab­ric will warm you in the off-sea­son and in chilly ather.

9. Porbank

A nec­es­sary gift in the mod­ern world is an exter­nal bat­tery. Thanks to this device, mom can be in touch even in the most inac­ces­si­ble places. It will also save your nerves if the phone’s charge is run­ning out, since the por bank will always be at hand in any sit­u­a­tion and at any time.

10. Smart garden

If your mom loves to mess around with flors, she likes to grow healthy veg­eta­bles and berries at any time of the year, or she knows a lot about micro­greens, a smart gar­den will be a real­ly need­ed gift. This design is unique in that the seedlings can be grown direct­ly on the win­dowsill or even indoors with lit­tle light, with­out soil and the need to con­stant­ly mon­i­tor the amount of mois­ture. A smart gar­den will prompt and sig­nal every­thing if your inter­ven­tion is required.

11. Garden furniture

Such a present is espe­cial­ly rel­e­vant for those who live out­side the city or have a sum­mer cot­tage. Gar­den uten­sils will be a use­ful and impor­tant gift. It can be a wick­er sofa and arm­chairs, a swing, a table or even dec­o­ra­tive giz­mos that will dec­o­rate the site.​​​​

It is bet­ter to buy such items from nat­ur­al or arti­fi­cial rat­tan, as ll as from wood, since these mate­ri­als are con­ve­nient and prac­ti­cal for out­door use. But noth­ing pre­vents you from installing wick­er fur­ni­ture, for exam­ple, on the bal­cony of a city apart­ment.

12. Jelry box

A woman who loves jel­ry can be pre­sent­ed with an ele­gant box in which her rings, ear­rings and chains will be stored. It is bet­ter to choose a com­pact but roomy box that will fit into the inte­ri­or. For exam­ple, mul­ti-tiered options are good. And if there is enough space in the boudoir, instead of a box, you can pur­chase an orga­niz­er or a styl­ish stand.

13. Eternal rose in a flask

Fresh flors with­er quick­ly and do not last long in a vase. But there is an alter­na­tive — the eter­nal rose in a flask. Col­ors are dif­fer­ent: from bright red to blue and even black. Such an unusu­al gift does not need to be con­stant­ly watered, it will please the eye for a long time and remind you of the hol­i­day.

14. Orthopedic sleep pillow

Insom­nia and exces­sive stress affects ll-being. Ortho­pe­dic sleep pil­low can not only solve these prob­lems, but also improve the qual­i­ty of life.

Pil­lows dif­fer in filler, cov­er mate­r­i­al, shape and size. If you are not sure that you can choose an ortho­pe­dic device with­out the par­tic­i­pa­tion of your moth­er and a spe­cial­ist, pay atten­tion to anatom­i­cal pil­lows.

15. Care cosmetics

High-qual­i­ty and safe per­son­al care prod­ucts will nev­er be super­flu­ous. You can assem­ble the kit your­self or buy a ready-made kit from your mom’s favorite in the field of cos­met­ics. If there are none, it is worth under­stand­ing what kind of cos­met­ics mom prefers: for some, it is impor­tant that the com­po­si­tion is nat­ur­al, while oth­ers focus more on the per­fume com­po­nent. In any case, when buy­ing, it is worth con­sid­er­ing the age and type of skin.

By the way, some women may take such a gift to heart. When choos­ing a present, think about whether your moth­er will be offend­ed.​​​

Gifts from son

An adult and finan­cial­ly inde­pen­dent son can give his moth­er a nec­es­sary, beau­ti­ful and orig­i­nal gift for her 55th birth­day. If you are at a loss in choos­ing, will sug­gest excel­lent options.

1. Smartphone

A mobile phone with mod­ern fea­tures is per­fect as a gift for mom on her anniver­sary. You can choose an unusu­al col­or scheme or stick to clas­sic shades — it all depends on the tastes of the birth­day girl. Large screen size is also not always a plus, some women pre­fer com­pact phones.

In addi­tion to the gift, choose a design­er case or a bat­tery case.

2. Robot vacuum cleaner

A robot vac­u­um clean­er is a present that will demon­strate your care and respect. This elec­tron­ic friend will be able to make life eas­i­er for mom by doing the work for her, which takes a lot of strength and ener­gy. Clean­ing takes place with­out the active par­tic­i­pa­tion of a per­son, while it does not cre­ate a lot of noise. And some mod­els will not only save the apart­ment from debris and dust, but also orga­nize t clean­ing. Which is espe­cial­ly impor­tant if your mom is a busy per­son.

3. Window cleaning robot

If your moth­er already has a lot of dif­fer­ent house­hold appli­ances, you can present a win­dow clean­ing robot as a gift. With him, the trou­ble­some pro­ce­dure becomes quick and almost pleas­ant. Such a thing, by the way, is indis­pens­able for acro­phobes — peo­ple with a fear of heights.

And this gad­get can also be used to clean tiles and smooth wood.

4. Houseplant

Such a gift can please both a big fan of veg­e­ta­tion and a woman who cares about com­fort. The only ques­tion is which flor to choose. If the moth­er is not ready to care­ful­ly care for the plant or is often absent from home, you can choose some­thing unpre­ten­tious: rapis, epiprem­num or san­se­vieria. And if the birth­day girl is a pro in this busi­ness, she will be pleased with the rare sight of her favorite ficus­es or suc­cu­lents.

5. Desktop biofireplace

A fire­place is a dec­o­ra­tion of any room, be it a coun­try house or an apart­ment. Hov­er, there is not always a place for it. There­fore, a biofire­place will be a good alter­na­tive. It does not take up much space, looks styl­ish, and runs on alco­hol bio­fu­el, which does not pol­lute hous­ing with com­bus­tion prod­ucts, and there­fore is safe even in small apart­ments.

6. Humidifier

The device, which is used to increase the humid­i­ty in the room, will be a beau­ti­ful addi­tion to the inte­ri­or and will help main­tain good health. It works rel­a­tive­ly silent­ly, and some mod­els can be “refilled” not only with water, but also with oils to cre­ate a fra­grant fra­grance in the house.

7. A set of bathroom tols

Sol­id home tex­tiles will nev­er be super­flu­ous. A set of bath­room tols will please the host­ess of the house. It is bet­ter to choose nat­ur­al mate­ri­als: cot­ton or bam­boo — they per­fect­ly absorb mois­ture, serve for a long time, and do not have a spe­cif­ic smell.

It’s good if the set includes a tol for the face and body, over­sized options (they can be used as a beach blan­ket in sum­mer).

8. coffee machine

The cof­fee machine will be a great present for a lover of invig­o­rat­ing aro­mat­ic drinks. Grain is suit­able for a woman who knows a lot about good raw mate­ri­als, knows how to dis­tin­guish Ara­bi­ca from Robus­ta. If mom respects strong foam, you should take a clos­er look at mod­els with a cap­puc­ci­na­tore. Cap­sule cof­fee machines are eas­i­er to main­tain, and cof­fee is pre­pared in sec­onds with­out any has­sle.

9. Smart speaker

A smart speak­er with the help of a voice assis­tant will be able to ful­fill any wish with­in its capa­bil­i­ties. Turn on your favorite music, remind you what time the series starts, or order din­ner at home.

Make sure that the device you choose is of high qual­i­ty, sup­ports Russ­ian (if it’s impor­tant for mom) and has oth­er use­ful fea­tures that will come in handy for the birth­day girl.

10. Expensive bottle of wine

The gift will be appro­pri­ate not only for con­nois­seurs of strong drinks. Elite wine will dec­o­rate the mini-bar of the mis­tress of the house, and you can also treat guests to it.

If this is not enough for you, you can present wine togeth­er with a spe­cial table or direct­ly in a new wine cab­i­net.

11. Glasses set

If a tea set seems bor­ing to you, you can present a set of dish­es for mom’s favorite drink. It can be wine glass­es made of thin glass for sparkling drinks, glass­es for wine, beer or cognac.

Take a clos­er look at unusu­al shapes: a top glass will help you immerse your­self in thoughts, and a “melt­ing” glass will sur­prise guests.

12. Suitcase on wheels

Such a suit­case will be a great gift for a woman who loves to trav­el or often trav­els on busi­ness trips. It should be roomy and reli­able, you can choose a copy of neu­tral pas­tel col­ors, a clas­sic dark col­or or a suit­case in an unusu­al bright col­or — depend­ing on what your moth­er likes. It is impor­tant to check the qual­i­ty of acces­sories before buy­ing.

13. Mirror with LED light

A mir­ror with LED light­ing is a must-have for a woman who likes to try on out­fits, fol­lows fash­ion and is atten­tive to her style. This is not just a prac­ti­cal thing, but also an orig­i­nal dec­o­ra­tive solu­tion for the home. You can choose a full-length mir­ror or buy a dress­ing table with a mir­ror for high-qual­i­ty make­up for a loved one.

14. Electronic photo frame

An elec­tron­ic pho­to frame is a func­tion­al alter­na­tive to clas­sic pho­to albums. The device does not take up much space, looks great in any inte­ri­or, so you can con­stant­ly review warm and bright pho­tos.

If this option seems banal to you, you can con­sid­er an unusu­al ana­logue — a pho­to­box. It is not as tech­no­log­i­cal, but more roman­tic.

15. Bedding set

A clas­sic and time­less gift for all time is a bed linen set made of good fab­ric. Such a gift will give pleas­ant sen­sa­tions, emo­tions and aes­thet­ic plea­sure.

To make the gift come in handy, you need to clar­i­fy in advance the dimen­sions of the bed, blan­kets and pil­lows.

How to choose a gift for mom for 55 years

What to con­sid­er and what you need to pay atten­tion to when choos­ing a birth­day present for your beloved moth­er in hon­or of her 55th birth­day, says direc­tor of event-agency Secret Point Alex­ey Shat­alov:

- Mom is the only per­son on Earth who does not live a day with­out think­ing about you. A gift for her should be warm and emo­tion­al. Moth­ers do not need mate­r­i­al gifts from their chil­dren. They want the same feel­ing they felt when you gave them a home­made card as a child.

A gift for mom from chil­dren should be very per­son­al. Put in it all the love and grat­i­tude that you feel for a loved one. Devote a lot of time to cre­at­ing a gift. Maybe do it your­self. The val­ue of a present for mom is in atten­tion, sub­tle­ty and time spent. She will feel it, and her heart will be filled with warmth and qui­et joy.

Popular questions and ansrs

Alek­sey Shat­alov, direc­tor of the Secret Point event agency, ansrs impor­tant ques­tions from our read­ers regard­ing prepa­ra­tions for the big anniver­sary.

What can not be given to mom for 55 years?

A cake with 55 can­dles seems to be a good clas­sic option, but it is worth remem­ber­ing that not every lady likes to focus on her age. It is also worth con­sid­er­ing super­sti­tion and not giv­ing a set of knives or a watch. Expen­sive med­i­cine — it would seem a prac­ti­cal and good gift, but on a hol­i­day it will be out of place.

New­fan­gled lap­tops, smart­phones and gad­gets are unlike­ly to please a moth­er who is used to com­mu­ni­cat­ing via instant mes­sen­gers. And house­hold items, such as an iron, a vac­u­um clean­er and a set of pots, will not please every house­wife. Such a gift can be mis­in­ter­pret­ed.

Mon­ey is always good. But mom is unlike­ly to like an enve­lope with ban­knotes from her child. Regard­less of his age and finan­cial sit­u­a­tion.

What flors to choose in addition to a gift for mom for 55 years?

If you don’t know what kind of flors your moth­er likes or she does­n’t have any spe­cial pref­er­ences, you can present her with a huge bou­quet of del­i­cate aza­leas. As an option — a bay tree or rose­mary in a pot ver­sion. It would be great to give a seedling of an apple tree or oth­er tree.

Rare callas in a tall trans­par­ent vase or an edi­ble bou­quet of choco­late-cov­ered straw­ber­ries will also make mom smile.

What a surprise to arrange for mom on her 55th birthday?

A great sur­prise should be emo­tion­al. You can invite your mom’s favorite artist to the anniver­sary or ask him to record a video greet­ing.

A pleas­ant sur­prise will be a joint trip to the the­ater, cin­e­ma or to a con­cert of clas­si­cal music. Mom will def­i­nite­ly be pleased with the cul­tur­al pas­time in the cir­cle of rel­a­tives. And if she is a cre­ative per­son, then cours­es on teach­ing vocals, draw­ing, mod­el­ing or bead­ing will be a good addi­tion to her leisure time.

How long has your mom been on hol­i­day? Per­haps she has a lot of trou­ble, house­hold chores and grand­chil­dren. Then she will def­i­nite­ly not be hin­dered by a vaca­tion on the seashore, a cruise, a boat trip. The spa pro­gram for the whole day will help you relax with­out leav­ing the city, and mas­sage will improve your ll-being.

A moth­er who lives alone can give a true friend — a pet. She will take care of him, groom and cher­ish. So, you won’t get bored at home alone. But it is impor­tant to make sure that the birth­day girl is ready for such a present.
