The 59 Best Mother’s Day Gifts That’ll Make You Mom’s Favorite Kid
The world’s number-one mom deserves the best of the best.
Mom really is the best. Always there with a chicken soup—either IRL or for the soul—when you're down. Always there, no matter what, to listen and dispense wise words when you're feeling lost. Always reminding you to apply sunscreen when you head out, and probably still lecturing you about eating enough vegetables. So it almost goes without saying, Mother's Day is her time to shine. Call her, visit her, tell her how much she means, but please do more than the bare minimum. Surprise her with a thoughtful gift that'll put a smile on her face. Because even if she swears she doesn't need anything, this is a woman who deserves the world (or, at the very least, one of the best presents for Mom that money can buy).
It's up to you, but we've got some unique ideas about what to get Mom for Mother's Day this year. Maybe it's a cool new gadget she'll use every day. Maybe it's a gourmet snack or luxe kitchen tool the foodie in her will love. Or a stylish update to her living room. Look, we don't know the woman—but you do, and whatever her hobbies and interests are, one of these 59 gifts is sure to make her happy.
Go for something elegant, just like her.
She obviously could always use new PJs. This chic set from Eberjey will keep her cool and casual for summer.
Artifact Uprising Custom Photo Calendar
Fill 12 months with photos for her to enjoy. After all these years of family vacations, weddings, graduation parties, and anniversaries, there's more than enough photography for you to pull from.
Get her the sneakers everyone wants.
For the mom who loves her Birkenstocks, you can upgrade her this year with the brand's more elevated 1774 version. The brown suede is simply stunning.
If there's a surefire way to get Mom a classic gift, it's pretty much anything from Chanel.
There's no better gift than a candle, but don't go for an ordinary candle. Instead, Diptyque's new sustainable line (the glass container has refill options) is something she will quite literally own forever. We wrote a love letter to the collection here and even awarded it in our 2024 Home Awards.
A Balmuda state-of-the-art toaster that really toasts—from bread to sandwiches to pizza to pastries, with clever steam tech and heat control—should do the trick.
This roomy tote has tons of pockets for shears and gloves, so she'll love how multifunctional it is. Farmers-market runs and park picnics are about to get a lot more elevated.
Custom stationary is always a good idea. It's thoughtful, personal, and actually useful. Papier has a bunch of stylish options to choose from, but this one is what I'll be personally getting my mom this year.
If she's still using wired headphones, it's time to consider an upgrade for her.
Sure, you can get her normal slippers... or you can get her luxurious slippers. No one makes them better than Jenni Kayne.
Get her this brand-new, tech-forward addition to her skin-care routine.
For the mom who's got good hair but wants even better hair, consider this hair dryer that's faster, quieter, and more powerful than any other model out there. Whether she uses it for styling or drying, she'll have precise control.
The perfect sweatshirt to toss on when she's lounging at home.
Honestly, name a better gift then this.
Miko Shiatsu Foot Massager
She'd never think to buy herself this kind of luxury, so you can be the good kid who buys it for her. That's years' worth of massages to keep her on her feet in comfort.
Banana Republic has so many pieces we want this spring, including this pretty straw bag. It's perfect for the mom who's taking a trip this summer.
If she loves smart lights, but wants something more decor focused, you can't go wrong with this one from Loftie. We personally love it.
Bamboozle Bamboo Countertop Composter
Better for the houseplants and garden, better for the earth: a kitchen composter that doesn't look (or smell) like a composter.
