The best Amazon Mother's Day gift ideas in 2025
Below, I've rounded up the best Mother's Day gift ideas on Amazon for each and every type of mother, including products we've reviewed in the past along with some NBC Select staff favorites. Be sure to check shipping times to confirm that your gift will arrive on-time and avoid showing up to the celebrations empty handed.
Apple Airtag
We chose the Apple Airtag as the best iOS Bluetooth tracker for our 2024 NBC Select Travel Awards for its easy to use versatility — NBC Select reporter Harry Rabinowitz says he uses his Airtags for all kinds of travel, from long, international trips to everyday work commutes. It pairs with Apple's FindMy app to help pinpoint your Airtag's precise location within 30 feet, or the general location if outside of that range, according to the brand. However, make sure your mom has an iPhone before buying, since they're only compatible with Apple devices.
Kitsch Satin Pillowcase
This NBC Select Bed and Bath Awards winner is made of a cooling satin that will help to keep your mom's hair from breaking or pulling while she sleeps, according to the brand. It's machine-washable and comes with a zippered opening, which makes sure the pillow doesn't slide out of the slippery satin during sleep. The pillow comes in standard and king sizes, and you can purchase in packs of one, two or four.
You can give your mom the gift of stylish travel with this passport and luggage tag set, which comes embossed with a foil plane logo and in five different colors, including blue, black and green. The passport holder has four card slots for business or credit cards, a bigger slot for boarding passes, and two slots for SIM cards, along with the usual passport slot, according to the brand. The luggage tag also includes an info card where your mom can fill in her contact information.
Secura Electric Wine Opener
A lot of people love wine, but don't love trying to open the bottle without the right tool. If this also sounds like your mom, then she'll definitely love this electric wine bottle opener, which does all the work. It has its own stand to hold it upright and it's rechargeable — it can open up to 30 bottles of wine on one charge, according to the brand.
Funistree Flower Candle Warmer
The vintage, petal-shaped shade of this candle warmer makes it a beautiful decor piece that works in any room. It has a shut-off function that can be set to two, four and eight hour intervals, and has a dimmable light so your mom can adjust the brightness based on her preference, according to the brand.
Monarch Waffle Kimono Spa Robe
This bathrobe is exactly what your mom needs for a cozy night in. It's made from a lightweight, cotton-poly blend that's both comfortable and durable, and has a puffy waffle design that gives the robe a soft feel, according to the brand. It has double belt loops and two deep pockets.
If your mother is a true crime armchair detective, or is simply big on books and puzzles, she'll love this Murdle puzzle book. It's a collection of 100 original murder mystery puzzles, which include drawings, maps, codes and more to help bring the case alive for the reader. With this book, your mom can act out her detective fantasies without ever having to leave the comfort of her couch.
JBL Flip 5 Bundle
JBL makes some of our favorite Bluetooth speakers, and this bundle comes with everything your mom needs to use her new speaker anywhere. The JBL Flip 5 has up to 12 hours of playtime and pairs easily to any Bluetooth-compatible device, according to the brand. This bundle includes the speaker itself, plus a protective carrying case made from a hard shell material. With this, your mom can carry her speaker on trips, to the beach, to the park and more without having to worry about any external damage while in transit.
Culinary experts recommended this portable blender to us because of its powerful and consistent blending that always results in a smooth mixture. It has a two-cup tumbler that makes it easy to portion out your ingredients and drinks, and includes two single-serve cups and matching lids. The pieces are also all dishwasher-safe.
Oral-B's electric toothbrushes are some of our top picks, and this affordable model delivers the brand's high quality with a lower price tag. It has one-touch controls and three settings, including sensitive, gentle and daly clean, according to the brand. The toothbrush also includes a two-minute timer that alerts you every 30 seconds while you brush, along with a pressure sensor that flashes red and slows down the speed when you're brushing too hard.
Coffee-obsessed moms will love this coffee maker from Bialetti, which is made from high-quality stainless steel that's designed to endure heat, wear and tear, according to the brand. It has thick walls that help to better hold heat and brew espresso, and is compatible with all stovetops. It also has a chic design that makes it a gorgeous addition to any kitchen.
Aerogarden Sprout
My Aerogarden is a treasured part of my kitchen counter, and you can give your mom the gift of freshly-grown herbs with this smaller, compact model. This indoor garden system can hold up to three plants, and automatically waters and lights your plants using high-powered LED lights, according to the brand. The garden uses pre-seeded pod kits that come in a variety of species, with a starter pod kit included with your purchase of the Sprout.
Staub Mini Round Cocotte Set
When it comes to cookware, it's difficult to top the quality of Staub's products, which is why any home chef moms will love the brand's cocotte set. It includes three round, ceramic cocotte dishes that have a scratch-resistant finish and are dishwasher safe, according to the brand. The aesthetically pleasing design makes them ideal for both cooking and serving, and they're microwave, freezer, broiler and oven safe up to 572 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the brand.
Tatcha The Starter Ritual Set
Tatcha's starter set will let your mother try an entire line of products at a much more affordable cost — each set is designed to address a specific skin care need/type, and includes a cleanser, an essence, a serum and a moisturizer, according to the brand. This set is best for dry or mature skin, and focuses on hydrating and plumping using ingredients like rice water and hyaluronic acid. If your mom doesn't struggle with dry skin, no problem — the brand also offers sets that address pores and acne clarification, firming and smoothing, and calming sensitive skin, according to the brand.

I rode in Europe's first Uber helicopter and felt like a Hollywood A-lister - here's how you can too
'Welcome to Capri!' announces our pilot Alessandro over the tannoy as we cruise 1,000ft above the coastline in our £5m twin-engine tracker helicopter, the first of its kind in Italy. We're just high enough to avoid the jagged limestone cliffs, yet close enough to spy on the wealthy bronzed holidaymakers jumping off the flotilla of yachts and speedboats below, disappearing as they swim into the hidden sea caves. Travelling at around 150mph, it has taken 15 minutes for the short hop from Sorrento to touch down in style on the Italian island, a notorious haunt for the global elite. Just last year, Amazon boss Jeff Bezos - the third richest person in the world – flew in on a similar chopper with his wife Lauren Sanchez. Oh the glitz, the glamour! It's fair to say this is not your usual Uber ride. But this summer, you too can swap a grumpy driver in a Toyota Prius in the UK for our charismatic 50-year-old pilot here in Italy after the tech giant launched its first helicopter service in Europe (one began in New York in 2019). 'It's so fast, it's so easy!' Alessandro jokes as we land. And reasonable too. For just £210 each – or £1,260 if you've enough to fill all six seats – you can book a seat through the app for a round trip to and from the island. It's quite a steal. Normally, such a journey would cost upwards of £3,300 – and that's just one way. Word of warning though: with a record five million tourists expected to hit the Amalfi Coast in July and August, space may be limited. I'm here this week to sample Uber's two new extravagant transport offerings on the Amalfi Coast, featuring not only the helicopter ride but also a new four-hour cruise from Sorrento to Positano. Somehow, the boat ride will be free – heavily subsidised by Uber to allow everyone to experience some luxury travel, I'm told. A publicity stunt perhaps, but a kind gesture all the same. Both are certainly an upgrade from travelling by car. It's not even the height of summer and the towns are already gridlocked with aggressive taxi drivers honking and young men on scooters jumping up on the pavement, while you need a stomach of steel not to feel a little queasy going round hairpin bends skirting the coastline. At one point, as we almost hit an oncoming minibus, the driver tells us: 'Don't worry, I just close my eyes'. Also on the trip are two dozen influencers and international journalists, all of us staying for two nights at the boutique five-star Belair hotel that is doing an impressive audition for the next series of White Lotus. Set into the cliff-tops of Sorrento, I step out onto the balcony of my £1,100-a-night room on Thursday morning to be greeted by a glorious panorama of the bay spread before me. Feeling like a Hollywood A-lister, I'm just about ready for my flight. At 26C and clear blue skies, it's perfect conditions – but there's palpable trepidation among the group as we head to the helipad. I'll admit, I'm a nervous flyer – not helped from covering two helicopter crashes in my time as a Daily Mail reporter. I seek reassurance as soon as we arrive. 'Don't worry, I have a family too,' jokes Valerio, the hunky co-pilot, as the doting dad takes the opportunity to tell me about his one-year-old daughter. Both he and Alessandro, both locals, have been flying for around two decades. They tell me the AW109 tracker we're about to board is one of the finest on the market, with only three in operation in Europe. It has two powerful engines – a plus I'm told, not just in terms of power but in safety too in case one conks out. The same can be said for the pilots, they joke. It has the capacity to go as high as 19,600ft and up to 193mph – though today we're going at a more measured speed, flying around the height of the Eiffel Tower. And it's an incredibly smooth ride. Thankfully, we don't do the loop-the-loops Alessandro suggests through his microphone as we launch. Instead we get an incredibly smooth ride, with our heads pressed to the glass as we listen to our pilots' commentary on their favourite sights. They run up to 18 flights a day at the height summer, yet they still sound as excited as we do. As we plunge across the Mediterranean, the boats criss-crossing below look like Lego, and in no time we're hovering above the Faraglioni Rocks, three giant sea stacks that mark the entry to Capri. Though we can't see from here, they are home to the rare blue lizard. While its species – the Italian wall lizard – are mostly greenish-brown, this isolated population instead evolved a camouflage to reflect the vivid electric blue of the bright sky above and deep sea around. 'The faragliona is the symbol of Capri,' Alessandro says over the radio. We soar over the mansion villas, nestled within the citrus and olive trees, and too quickly, we're landing on the helipad. For once nervous flyers, we're now hungry for more. We're whisked instead down to the Lido del Faro beach club in a pink six-seater open-top jeep, last seen in the Barbie movie. It certainly gives off a Hollywood vibe to the island, and alongside my four female passengers, I feel like Ken in Capri. The only difference is my rather pink sunburnt face from the day before. Unfortunately, I'd been fooled by the cool breeze as we had raced around the peninsula on the four-hour boat ride. We'd been ferried by Mario, a handsome local – aren't they all here? - who began driving boats when he was 16-years-old. Now 24, he is obviously proud of his heritage – and rightly so. We gawp at the richness of colour along the rugged tree-lined cliffs, an artist's dream. It's no wonder J.M.W Turner brought his easel on a boat here in the early 19th century. Our 13-metre vessel – worth around half a million pounds - is decked out with plush cream leather cushions and the minibar stocked with Prosecco. We quickly get tucked into the extra dry vino Spumante Prima cuvee. It might be worth no more than £8 in local shops, but to us, on this boat, with this view, it tastes like a vintage 1976 Dom Pérignon. 'Buonjiourrrnooo!' we hear Mario shout in the background every time he sees a friend driving another boat. We speed along the undulating coastline, passing Roman ruins and lone fishermen casting their lines out over the rocks. We can see the fish below us in the crystal water. Our first stop just off a tiny island, with two houses, a church and a helipad, that Mario tells us can be rented for £125,000 a week. A refreshing dip later, and we continue our journey into choppier waters as we round the bay, and see the colourful villas of Positano – a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and deservedly so - nestled into the cliffside. A heavy lunch of the saltiest pasta, and one too many Aperol Spritzes and a chocolate gelato later, and we're back on the boat. It's a quieter return trip, less of a party atmosphere now and more of a peaceful solitude as we soak in a true experience of La Dolce Vita.

The 15 happiest places to live in America
Reno, Nevada , has been named the happiest place to live in America, chosen as an reformative and affordable 'modern boomtown' with fair weather and creative outlets year round. The city was chosen by Outside , based on factors including overall well-being, public land and affordability, and climate change and inclusivity. Millions of surveys were scoured to assess the best urban areas in the US for well-being, before the researchers looked at house and rental prices and general walkability. Reno was ultimately judged the best in class, undertaking massive transformations to become more inclusive and accessible, attracting major companies like Amazon and Tesla without losing sight of its local arts and crafts culture. Remo placed above Wilmington, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Charlottesville , Hood River, Minneapolis, Glenwood Springs, Harrisburg and Plano to clinch the top spot among regions with a population between 5,000 and 500,000. Reno, Nevada: Population: 273,448. Median house price: $550,000. Percentage parkland: 5 percent. Outside described Reno as a 'modern boomtown', bustling with green, open spaces, climbing gyms and a summer arts festival as part of a local revival. The outlet noted 'ample public land and mountain vibe' in its decision to award the city the top spot in the rankings. With a new bike trail attracting cyclists, and nearby Lake Tahoe welcoming in skiers, the city has enough adventure for locals and tourists year-round, making it a go-to destination inclusive of all. Wilmington, Delaware: Population: 71,569. Median house price: $255,000. Percentage parkland: 6.8 percent. Well-connected Wilmington neighbors Philadelphia, New York City, Baltimore and Washington D.C., offering walkability and community to residents. Delaware's largest city is built at the meeting point of the Christina River and Brandywine Creek, and has had its riverfront revitalized in recent years. Wilmington boasts nearly 70 parks, including the 178-acre Brandywine Park and the Alapocas Run, a 415-acre space filled with hiking and biking trails. Outside reports that the city has an inclusive local culture, with LGBTQ+ community leader Dinea Elliott Collins saying: 'When I travel to other parts of the country, I realize how safe and comfortable I feel in Wilmington.' New Orleans, Louisiana: Population: 369,749. Median house price: $360,000. Percentage parkland: 23 percent. Some 80 per cent of residents in New Orleans live within a ten-minute walk of a park, making the city one of the most attractive for residents who enjoy outdoor spaces. Culturally, the city has many attractions bringing visitors each year - from the colonial-era French Quarter to St Charles Avenue and Magazine Street's rows of antique shops. New Orleans remains one of the country's most-visited cities for its deep and complex history, preserving its past in a number of significant museums. In 2016, the city was also ranked the best in the US for live music, cocktail hour and cheap eats - but last for safety. Outside references the city's culture and cuisine, friendliness towards LQBTQ+ people and 'underrated' green spaces in awarding it third place. Cincinnati, Ohio: Population: 309,513. Median house price: $272,750. Percentage parkland: 17 percent. In the late 1800s, Cincy was dubbed the 'Paris of America', due to ambitious architectural projects that still line the streets of its urban center. Developed as a river town for shipping, the city remains an industralized hub with a large economy attractive to large employers and a quaint market pavilion for merchants to sell local produce. It also remains one of the greenest, with 88 per cent of residents living ten-minutes from a park - and a temperate climate ensuring beautiful year-round vistas to be found in the city's 365 parks and recreation areas. Benefitting from large-scale immigration from Germany in the 1840s, the city also benefits from a rich brewing tradition and has more than 80 organizations still making local beer - surely pushing it up the rankings for happiest places to live. Charlottesville, Virginia: Population: 45,373. Median house price: $456,000. Percentage parkland: 10 percent. The independent city of Charlottesville is much smaller than most of its competitors but boasts the same balance of work opportunities and scenic getaways shared by the country's happiest. Outside notes the city's local University of Virginia has given Charlottesville a 'vibrant startup culture', with high rates of graduates and low unemployment. The city's commercial district, The Corner, also provides Charlottesville with a number of college bars and restaurants, as well as a considerable nightlife scene. Around the city, a 20-mile trail offers hikers and bikers a picturesque loop lined with places beautiful riverside spaces, and a number of breweries are 'scattered throughout the surrounding countryside', according to Outside. Hood River, Oregon: Population: 8,352. Median house price: $656,750. Percentage parkland: 4 percent. The small town of Hood River is noted for its rich outdoors activities, leading with a 'vast network' of trails and spaces to surf the Columbia River. The town is only an hour east of Portland and remains connected to local hubs, but retains an independent presence and rich local food scene helped by its rural farms. While rents are a little higher than in other happy cities, Hood River has taken steps to build new developments for residents on lower incomes. The city is also taking strides towards reflecting ambitions of racial and social equity in policymaking. Minneapolis, Minnesota: Population: 425,096. Median house price: $340,000. Percentage parkland: 15 percent. Minneapolis scored 97 on Outside's ranking for cyclists, and was this year voted number one in People for Bikes' annual large-city ratings. With 180 parks, the city offers residents lush scenery joined together by an expansive network of cycle paths and trails. The city is also noted for its investment into low-income neighborhoods and its 'excellent' hospitals. Outside notes that the murder of George Floyd in 2020 'revealed serious problems with law enforcement' in the city. The police department has reportedly undergone a number of reforms in the years since. Glenwood Springs, Colorado: Population: 10,264. Median house price: $726,720. Percentage parkland: 2 percent. The resort city of Glenwood Springs placed eighth on Outside's list of the top 15 happiest places to live in the US, credited for its hot springs and easy access to outdoor sports activities. The town is situated in the Rocky Mountains at the meeting point of the Roaring Fork River and the Colorado River, creating stunning vistas. Since the 1980s, coordinated investment has transformed the town's geography to better accommodate hikers and cyclists, building modern trails and reducing congestion in the center. The region's newfound popularity has, however, pushed up housing costs - which officials are looking to tackle with new affordable housing projects. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania: Population: 50,183. Median house price: $176,000. Percentage parkland: 8 percent. The Pennsylvania capital has long been a desirable destination for young families with affordable housing and vibrant cultural outlets. In 2010, the city was ranked the second best place in the country to raise a family, after Des Moines, Iowa. Since then, Harrisburg has attracted steady growth in the number of bars, concerts and events - in turn building a significant music and entertainment scene in recent years. Again, the city benefits from local mountains, cycling trails and spaces to kayak for those keen on soaking up the local environment. Plano, Texas: Population: 289,547. Median house price: $540,000. Percentage parkland: 3 percent. Plano, Texas, ranked tenth in Outside's list of the happiest places to live in the US. The city is one of the larger nominations, the 72nd most populous city in the country, and remains one of the fastest growing. Steadily, Plano has attracted grown into a significant business hub and the headquarters of many major corporations. Still, the city itself enjoys 85 parks and public pools - and preserves access to two nature preserves around the town, spanning some 1,000+ acres in total. Plano now boasts a lively music and entertainment scene, a host of restaurants - and a farmers' market. Anchorage, Alaska: Population: 287,145. Median house price: $400,000. Percentage parkland: 80 percent. Alaska's largest city is 80 per cent parkland, despite hosting nearly 300,000 people, and spans 1,706 square miles - making it the fourth-largest by area in the United States. Surprisingly, though, the city remains highly walkable and accessible to cyclists - relying on a trail network covering more than 500 miles. According to the Anchorage Park Foundation, 95 per cent of residents say the trails make the city a great place. Others cite the wildlife and fantastic views, as well as the city's investment in preserving and celebrating local history and languages. Madison, Wisconsin: Population: 272,903. Median house price: $395,000. Percentage parkland: 14 percent. Between two lakes, Madison enjoys vast landscapes and more than 280 parks, increasingly accessible as the city invests in new tracks and trails. In winter, residents can also enjoy the city's sports scene - including ice skating, hockey, ice fishing and cross-country skiing. One of the most accessible cities by bike, residents can quickly zip between the city's 18 conservation parks and a bustling city, known for its museums and galleries. Madison is the fastest-growing city in the state, featuring a lively technology sector and exciting opportunities in health start ups. Frederick, Maryland: Population: 82,175. Median house price: $435,000. Percentage parkland: 7.8 percent. Frederick is just an hour from Baltimore and Washington D.C., and is one of the more walkable cities on the list. Nearly 90 per cent of residents live within ten minutes of a park - and sprawling public lands make the city ideal for hikers. Frederick is home to a number of antique shops and themed events, preserving its unique culture - while continuing to invest in new arts and entertainment outlets. Saint Petersburg, Florida: Population: 261,256. Median house price: $430,000. Percentage parkland: 14 percent. With 244 miles of shoreline, St Petersburg is ideal for beachgoers and fishers. As well as celebrating a number of professional sports teams, the city is also home to quieter activities, like the Salvador Dali Museum, a number of libraries and the Chihuly Collection. Residents can enjoy the city's breadth of historical districts, all with unique draws and cultural artefacts. St Petersburg may not be the most walkable city on the list, but remains attractive to cyclists and rollerbladers. Tacoma, Washington: Population: 221,776. Median house price: $472,500. Percentage parkland: 7 percent. Tacoma is a little smaller than St Petersburg but still enjoys 46 miles of coastline and beaches. The city is home to 120 parks and remains fairly accessible by foot and by bike, connecting large forests and outdoor spaces with the cultural hubs in the city. Nearby, Tacoma also has access to Mount Rainier - and is only 90 minutes from the slopes at Crystal Mountain. Cleaning up Commencement Bay and the Dune Peninsula in recent years have opened up the city's natural spaces for visitors to enjoy.

Ryanair-approved cabin bag that fits compactly under the seat is slashed by 36%
To make sure you don't fall foul of Ryanair's strict hand luggage rules, this travel backpack has been made to their exact measurements – and it's currently on sale with £10 off If you've got a holiday booked you'll no doubt be starting to plan your packing and what exactly you're taking with you. However if you've booked with a budget airline like Ryanair, you need to be sure of exactly what size luggage you're allowed, especially when it comes to your carry on. Ryanair is known for having very strict regulations as to what's allowed as hand luggage, allowing one small bag per passenger for free, with dimensions not exceeding 40cm x 20cm x 25cm. However we've found the perfect travel bag on Amazon that fits these requirements exactly, so you won't be caught out with extra fees when it comes to boarding, and it's now been slashed by 36% from £27.99 to £17.99. The Xkdoai Cabin Bag measures exactly 40cm x 20cm x 25cm and has a 20 litre capacity, making sure it's fully compliant with the tight regulations whilst still giving you plenty of room to pack your essentials. It even has adjustable straps on the outside that let you compress it further, in case you're worried about it fitting. Although it has a classic backpack design which makes it comfortable and easy to carry, it opens out flat just like a suitcase would, making it much easier to pack and access your belongings. There's a hidden zipped pocket at the back for valuables like your phone or passport, a cable hole in the side to connect your phone to a charger on the go, and multiple other pockets to keep things organised. To keep you comfortable whilst carrying it, the underside has been designed with a mesh material that allows heat to dissipate to prevent sweating. There's also an easy to carry top handle, two backpack straps, and a strap which allows you to slot it over the handle of a larger case for easier transportation. If you prefer a rolling cabin bag, Antler's Cabin with Pocket Suitcase is £230, but a worthy investment if the 4.9 star rating is anything to go by. Alternatively the Aerolite MiniMax Ryanair Size Cabin Hand Luggage from Aerolite is on sale down from £44.99 to £24.99, and features an extendable handle and rolling wheels. Although it's great for travelling, you can also use the Xkdoai Cabin Bag for commuting, overnight stays, heading to school, outdoor sports or just as a general backpack. Shoppers have also been praising it on Amazon, with one saying: 'Good size. Nice material. Lots of pockets.' Another wrote: 'Firstly this has tons of pockets. Probably more than you'll need. Seems to be pretty waterproof too as i've carried cameras and laptops in it, uncovered - with no issue. It maximizes the space for budget flight providers and I've never been stopped even with the bag full to the brim. It has extra clips at the side which can strap around you for security. It is comfortable for walking about and travelling. Good size and well designed.' Others were less impressed, saying: 'Loved the colour but the quality isn't quite as good as I expected.' Another put: 'Was fine at first but after a few uses the bottom lining of the bag got folded up - having to unpick the fabric to sort it out now. Overall a nice product but it's a little annoying to have to fix that.' However another loved it, saying: 'Really good backpack! I used it to go on holiday for a week and with compression cubes I managed to fit in everything I needed for the weeks travel and it is classed as a cabin bag so no unexpected fees at the airport. Super convenient for traveling light.'
