I’m Buying My 63-Year-Old Mom These Up to 58%-Off Amazon Finds for the New Year

With the new year just days away, I’m already thinking about buying new products to upgrade my life. I’ve already ordered myself a new Nespresso machine to make my mornings quicker (and tastier) and a first-of-its-kind skincare device to deal with pesky hormonal breakouts. 

Of course, I’m also thinking about my 63-year-old mom while browsing for all these life-enhancing goodies, since I do a lot of her shopping. Below are the five products I’m grabbing to add a little pizazz to her 2024, including a 58-percent-off primer that leaves shoppers with “shimmery, youthful” skin and supportive shoes that fans say “feel like a hug” for your feet.

5 Amazon Finds I’m Buying My 63-Year-Old Mom:

• Laura Geller New York Spackle Skin Perfecting Primer, $15 (Originally $36) 
• Advanced Clinicals Collagen Serum, $10 (Originally $18)
• Ewedoos Fleece-Lined Leggings With Pockets, $25 (Originally $40)
• Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Dry Body Oil Mist, $9 (Originally $14)
• ChayChax Waterproof Faux Fur-Lined Mules, $20–$26 (Originally $40)

Laura Geller New York Spackle Skin Perfecting Primer

My mom loves a glow-promoting makeup product, and I can’t think of a better one for her to try than Laura Geller’s Spackle Primer. The shimmery base leaves behind a sheer gold tint and can be worn with or without makeup. It’s also formulated with great-for-your-skin ingredients that brighten, plump, and soothe your complexion, like rice extract, hyaluronic acid, and aloe vera. More than 2,600 Amazon shoppers love it, raving that it covers up “decades” of sun damage and is even a “perfect replacement” for foundation. For just $15 right now, it’s a total steal.

Advanced Clinicals Collagen Serum

Speaking of glow, my mom also loves a skin-plumping serum. At 63, she gets tons of compliments on her youthful-looking skin, which is in part due to how well she takes care of it. While I don’t always have the budget to get her favorite products, every now and then I’ll have her try something a little more affordable and see how she likes it. I have no doubt that the Advanced Clinicals Collagen Serum will win her over; not only is it just $10 right now (I may just buy two), but more than 1,100 shoppers are fans of the formula. 

Made with an impressive blend of anti-aging ingredients, including collagen, retinol, vitamins C and E, and argan oil, the serum improves skin elasticity, hydrates, and protects the skin barrier. One customer credited the serum to their brighter, younger-looking skin and “less wrinkles,” while a 45-year-old reviewer said it “shaved five years” off their complexion.

Ewedoos Fleece-Lined Leggings With Pockets

Both my mom and I are obsessed with Ewedoos’ Fleece-Lined Leggings. When she saw me wearing them a few years ago, she demanded I order her a pair immediately — and ended up falling in love with them, too. The cozy pants are all we wear during the winter; not only do they keep us warm during frigid temperatures, but they’re sleek and stylish, too. My mom styles them with tunic sweaters and sneakers, while I wear mine with thermal henleys and ankle boots. I’m stocking up on new pairs for both of us while they’re $25.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Dry Body Oil Mist

Several of my friends and co-workers love this body oil mist from Aveeno, so I’m snagging it for my mom this winter. She loves bodycare as much as skincare, so she’s always asking me for ultra-moisturizing suggestions. Made with oat, jojoba, and vitamin E oils, it’s hydrating without leaving a greasy residue behind, per shoppers. “I have tried so many body oils (and butters), and this one takes the cake,” one customer wrote. My dry skin feels so moisturized, soft, and glowy when I add this either after my regular lotion or just by itself.” Plus, hundreds of people are fans of the scent, which they describe as “comforting” and “heavenly” thanks to the “cocoa and honey notes.”

ChayChax Waterproof Faux Fur-Lined Mules

Last but not least, I think my mom will be most appreciative of these cozy, faux fur-lined mules. She’s always looking for a supportive and warm shoe for when she’s cooking or on her feet at work, and these ChayChax clogs definitely fit the bill. The waterproof shoes have an EVA-like upper along with memory foam insoles and anti-slip soles. You can snag them in several colors like black, light blue, beige, and pink, and sizes 4 to 13. More than 18,000 Amazon shoppers have left them a five-star rating, saying they’re perfect for “quick trips outside” and are “fluffy like cotton” but still “supportive.” Select sizes and colors are just $20 right now.
