Five Star Gift Ideas

If your mom is passionate about youth mentoring, why not consider gifting her something that aligns with her interests and shows her your appreciation for her work in this field?

Here are a few options for meaningful and personal gifts:

1. Make a donation to a youth mentoring organization: Consider making a donation on behalf of your mom to a youth mentoring organization that she supports. Organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, or Girls Inc. work hard to provide support, education, and guidance to young people. This gift not only recognizes your mom’s passion for mentoring, but also has a lasting impact on the community.

2. Take her out for a day of mentoring: Find a local organization that offers youth mentoring opportunities and set up a day for you and your mom to volunteer together. This can be a way to bond with your mom while also giving back to the community. Whether it’s tutoring, leading a workshop or simply being a positive role model, your time and presence can make a big impact on the lives of young people.

3. Personalized mentorship book or journal: You can gift your mother a personalized mentorship book or journal that she can use to record her experiences, ideas and notes from mentorship sessions. You can add a personal touch to the gift by including quotes from notable mentor figures, or creating a special section to track her mentoring progress, goals and accomplishments.

4. Mentorship-themed jewelry: A mentorship-themed piece of jewelry could be a unique and tasteful gift option. Consider a necklace with a charm fashioned after a “mentorship” symbol, or a bracelet with a message of gratitude inscribed for a special touch. There are many jewelry designers who create pieces with an inspiring message, and you could even commission a custom piece specifically for your mother.

5. Personalized thank-you notes from mentees: If your mom has mentored children or teens in the past, you can ask them to write personal thank-you notes to your mother for her impact and support. Collect these notes and put them in a special frame or album, so that she can display them as a reminder of the positive changes she makes in people’s lives.

Overall, choosing a symbolic and personal gift that reflects your mother's passions is a way to demonstrate your appreciation for the ways she works to make the world a better place.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

“I made a map for my mums birthday and she absolutely loved it. Definitely buying another one soon, probably for another family member or friend”
