10 Unconventional Gift Ideas for Homemakers

‘Homemaker’ is quite an underrated role which many take for granted. However, modern society has taken a turn for good where not only women but men also volunteer for this job that is not always monetary rewarding. Since time immemorial this role was bequeathed on women as soon as they came of age or got married. This readymade role entailed women to beget children, taking care of the husband and children while making sure that the house remains spick and span. Also, the linguistic term for this role- 'housewife' was biased and archaic but now the role, as well as the term, has changed for the better, now known as ‘homemaker’, relegating to both men and women. This term captures the essence of the role as the primary force that makes a house feels like home and joining individual personalities in a familial bond that is not limited to blood relations only. This is the reason many homemakers have blogs and business which they operate from home and take pride in their profession that allows them to do something beyond the traditional roles, relays celebrity chef-Nita Mehta.
