Special Mother’s Day Gifts That 70 Year Olds Will Appreciate

Old English Number Necklace
You can use the year she became a mother in the first place, or the year she became your mother, on this Old English number necklace.
These are the Good Old Days Sign
The good old days might have come and went, but these days are pretty good for her too. After all, she gets to spend time with her kids and grandkids.
“The bond between mother and daughter knows no distance” Watercolor Print
Distance has nothing on the bond you two have for each other. Celebrate this fun fact with a watercolor print.
Birthstone Bar Necklace
Put all of her kids’ birthstones on this birthstone bar necklace for Mother’s Day this year.
Girl Power Shirt
With Harriet Tubman, Amelia Earhart, Frida Kahlo, Maya Angelou, Malala, and other impactful women on this shirt, it celebrates how much wisdom, strength, and brain power that women have had throughout the years.
Mom Personalized Picture Frame
By the time you reach your 70s you don’t want much besides family. That’s why framed pictures make excellent gifts for Mother’s Day!
70 Years Personalized Cutting Board
This thoughtful engraved cutting board really puts things into perspective. Since it’s personalized, you can swap out “happy birthday” with “happy mother’s day” and change the customizations to fit.
What a creative way to celebrate Mother’s Day as a 70 year old for a mom who loves to cook!
Grandma’s Garden Shirt
If the 70 year olds in your life that you’re honoring for Mother’s Day happen to be grandmothers, they’ll definitely prefer something that celebrates the grandkids. This shirt is perfect because it’s nice but not too trendy, and can be customized with all the grandkids’ names.
Custom Dish Towel with Family Recipe
When you get a family recipe put on this dish towel, it is even more special. You could even try to find one of her mom’s recipes for a really thoughtful gift!
New Slippers
My mom is 60 and always asks for new slippers, so I can imagine most 70 year olds will also appreciate a pair for Mother’s Day. Grab something with a hard bottom so she can wear them out on the patio or in the garden, too.
Digital Picture Frame for Mom
If you want a high tech gift for mom or grandma digital photo frames have come a long way in recent years. Once it’s set up, you can send new pictures right to the frame remotely so mom (or grandma) always has up to date pictures to display.
Personalized Woolen Throw
You could have one of the grandkids write a personalized message – then the seller will add it to the blanket. So cool! Throw blankets on their own are great gifts, but the personalization makes this one extra special.
Burts Bees Mother’s Day Set
It’s tough to buy spa and self care gifts sets for moms in their 70s because they usually have plenty of fancy soaps and bath products stocked up. Instead of a generic gift basket, pick something that she’ll actually use like this Burts Bees gift set. As you age your skin dries out easier so high quality salves like these are a must.
Best Nana Ever Gardening Gift Set
Most 70 year olds love gardening and you can’t go wrong with garden themed gifts for Mother’s Day. This set is a great option for a nana in your life; it comes with gardening goodies she can use all summer long.
Custom Garden Sign
Speaking of garden gifts, if mom is really passionate about her garden this is a great time to gift a custom sign that she can proudly display outdoors.
Plant Watering Globes
I bought these for my own grandma so I can personally attest to them making great Mother’s Day gifts. Super handy for moms who love plants or gardening but can’t always get to daily watering.
Spring or Summer Wreath
If mom is hard to shop for or seems to have everything a pretty spring or summer wreath is always a nice Mother’s Day gift idea.
Funny Travel Mug
Just because your mom is in her 70 doesn’t mean she won’t appreciate a good joke on Mother’s Day. If your mom has a sense of humor, skip the sentimental Mother’s Day gifts and opt for something funny instead: like this stainless steel mug with lid. Plus it’s practical too!
Vintage Music Box Pendant
This is actually a vintage music box from the 1960s. If mom is a bit nostalgic, consider something like this (or another vintage item) for Mother’s Day this year.
Electric Wine Chiller
This wine chiller is a perfect Mother’s Day gift idea for 70 year olds who enjoy the finer things in life. Super easy to use (even for moms who aren’t tech savvy), it perfectly chills your bottle to any temperature. After everything she’s done over the years, mom’s definitely earned a perfectly chilled glass of wine or champagne!
Mother’s Day is a special time, especially if you’re celebrating it by giving gifts to the 70 year olds in your life! After all, by the time you make it to your 70s you’ve definitely earned your turn at receiving thoughtful gifts.
