Are you too old to get over matching gifts with your mom or daughter? I guess it depends if you are the mother or the daughter.

With Mother’s Day right around the corner, I thought it would be a good time to highlight my top 5 matching gifts for mother and daughter, in order of age (give or take).

  1. Aprons: Every girl loves to bake with her mom, but for very little girls, looking like mom while baking is out of this world. Giving them matching aprons makes that moment even more special. You can find matching identical aprons, or different styles with the same pattern, such as a full apron for mom and a half apron for daughter. There are also custom aprons you can find with phrases like “Chef” and “Sous Chef.”

  2. Pijama: mommy and me Pajamas are great for Saturday nights with mom and her girl(s), playing games, watching movies, or doing puzzles. Whatever the activity, she’s always better in pajamas, and she’s even better in pajamas that match mom’s.

  3. Bags: Purses, Luggage, Cosmetic Bags or Totes. When you see a mother with a beautiful bag and right behind her is her sweet little daughter carrying a miniature version of it, it’s laughter adorable. This type of gift is ideal for moms with that “mini-me” daughter who is on her way to being “just like mom.”

  4. Necklaces: Regardless of age, a mother/daughter necklace is a keepsake that every girl will treasure forever, whether she is a mother or daughter. A heart pendant is always a beautiful symbol to choose with “mother” and “daughter” personalization added. Finding a necklace that includes her birthstones would add even more uniqueness and individuality.

  5. Charms: In recent years, the trend for charm bracelets has been on the rise, with pandora, persona, chamila, and the like. With that, there are numerous unique and special mother daughter charms. I personally love my pandora “loving mother” charm and smile every time I see my daughter with her “daughter” charm on her bracelet.

Given the range of possibilities, age seems irrelevant. The most important thing to keep in mind is the bond between mother and daughter. The gift you choose should reflect that, and hopefully I’ve provided some suggestions that can help spark some ideas, based on your own unique mother-daughter pairing.
