If you usually just buy Mom a gift certificate...we've got you covered.
1. An Our Place ceramic nonstick Always pan that's gonna be a slam-dunk for any mom who loves to cook or just loves cool kitchen products. Though the cult-favorite cookware is beloved for its cool monochrome look, it's also mega-useful: it can be used for baking, broiling, frying, steaming, braising, searing, and more. All that *and* it looks amazing sitting on her stove top? You have once again won the "Favorite Child" award.
Target
Set includes an Always Pan 2.0 in original nonstick, a modular, steam-release lid, a nesting beechwood spatula, and a steamer basket and colander.
Promising review:"I love the quality of the pan and lid. The nonstick ceramic surface works beautifully. The pan heats evenly, and food cooks efficiently." — Christina
2. A Theragun massage gun because you're not always around when she needs a shoulder rub. The percussive massage tool has three attachments, plus an easy-to-hold triangle handle, so your mom can melt away her muscle tension with literally zero effort.
Target
Promising review: " I bought this as a gift for my son for Christmas, but one day my sciatica was acting up and I asked to borrow it. Just a few minutes of use gave me hours of relief." — Justme
3. A Nintendo Switch for the mom who loves gaming — or the gaming-curious mom who sees you having fun playing, but isn't sure where to start herself. This + Luigi's Mansion 3 = possibly the most fun Mother's Day hangout of all time.
Target
Promising review:"We like the Switch so far! I like having controller options. Obviously, the graphics get better and better with every Nintendo update. So far, we've purchased Mario Kart, Luigi's Mansion 3, and Super Mario Odyssey. It's something fun my husband and I like to do together. Great purchase!" — Mandy
4. A bamboo bath caddy so your mom can take a relaxing and well-deserved soak in the tub without worrying about her book or phone meeting an untimely end in those soapy waters below.
Target
Promising review:"I'm in college, and my only relaxing time is in the bath. I can now read a book or prop my iPad up and relax in the bath. It's so convenient, and I can also have room for my phone, a candle, and a drink!!" — HannahGrace
5. A robotic vacuum and mop for the mom who loves having a clean house...but would love not to be the one who makes it clean. (Honestly, who DOESN'T this apply to?) This robot mops, dries, and automatically empties its dust tray.
Promising review: " Currently obsessed with this thing. Love it so much. Such an improvement over the last robot vacuum/mop we bought and returned a couple of years ago. So far, I feel it is totally worth the extra money over the other brands. I have especially been surprised at the amount of customization required to clean different areas, from suction power to the rise of carpets and grain direction for wood floors! Also been surprised at it not getting stuck anywhere yet. It can go under and over better than my old robot did. Also, it is much quieter than I expected. I will probably start running the mop at night. The only con is my toddler is afraid of it, lol.!" — ElleB
6. A 30-oz pastel Stanley cup, so she can always stay hydrated no matter how busy her day gets. (Also, how cute would it be if you got the same one and the two of you matched? TWINSIES!)
Target
Promising review: " The cutest color and doesn't get super heavy when filled with ice and a drink! This Stanley is the perfect size for running errands and not weighing down your arm while carrying it." — Dawn
7. A Ninja Creami ice cream maker, because the only thing sweeter than buying your mom a pint of her favorite ice cream is giving her a way to create her brand-new favorite ice cream flavor from scratch. Ben and Jerry, who?
Target
8. A special hardcover edition of Emily Henry's Beach Read, for the mom whose other child is her TBR pile. This edition of the book has a new introduction by the author, a bonus story, and a gorgeous glittery cover and sunset-colored edges — the perfect thing to take on your actual family trip to the beach.
Target
Promising review: " I love Emily Henry. She's such a great author, and I would highly recommend any of her books. I already had Beach Read as a paperback, but when I saw this edition, I knew I had to have it." — aw
9. A wine purifying tool that removes sulfites, aka the things that cause wine headaches. If your mom is an oenophile, might I suggest pairing this with a nice cab franc?
Target
Promising review:"I've owned this purifier for three years. It's awesome. Used to always get headaches from sulfites in red wine, but this took care of that. It doesn't change the taste of the wine, either. It's a little pricey, and you have to buy filters, but if you get bad headaches and love wine, it will be worth it. Their customer service is also top-notch. We accidentally threw away the small red part of the device, contacted the company, and they shipped us a replacement part for free. Five stars all around! Cheers!" — Cat Milgar
10. An ultrasonic skin-scrubbing spatula for the mom whose ideal Friday night involves cracking open a brand-new serum bottle. This handy dandy tool can help deep clean with high-frequency vibrations that lift blackheads, whiteheads, and grime out of the skin and improve product absorption.
Target
Promising reviews:"This does a great job cleaning my skin, I have glass skin after using this product!" — Vickie
11. A breakfast sandwich maker, because your mom deserves breakfast in bed every day...but when you're not around to make it, this sandwich maker (which toasts bread, cooks eggs, and heats ham or bacon) will be the next best thing.
Target
Promising review:"I've been curious about this sandwich maker for a long time but hesitated buying it. I have to say this little gadget is great. It makes a perfect breakfast sandwich and it's so easy to clean. What I really love is you can do other things while the sandwich is cooking which is so helpful for busy mornings." — Hp24601
12. A floral, three-speed Crosley Bluetooth record player that is perfect for moms who held on to their vinyl collection from the '80s and '90s but haven't owned an actual record player since they were in diapers. Bust this portable player out and have her regale you with tales of concerts she went to way before you were born.
Target
Promising review: "The first thing that drew me to this specific record player was the design! Let me tell you, it is even more beautiful in person. I was concerned with the reviews stating it was skipping and the records weren't playing correctly, but I haven't had a single issue with it! I am so glad I didn't listen to those reviews because I would've missed out on a beautiful, well-priced record player!" — Kate
14. A mushroom footstool so your mom can have a place to kick her feet up after a long day and have a new adorable piece of living room decor to give the whole place a touch of funky maximalism.
Target
Promising review:"I got the cream version of this stool, and it far exceeded my expectations. It is large enough to use as a stool for guests on game night, a footstool that I can use to cross my legs on, and to add nice decor to a space. It is easy to clean with a handheld vacuum and has a nice cream color. The base is a dense, firm material, while the top is very squishy and nice to sit on. I am a larger individual, and it is tall and wide enough to comfortably and stably sit on." — Bri
15. A Rifle Paper Co. x Target floral print lamp because the best bouquet you can give your mom is one that will never wilt.
Target
Promising review:"This lamp was perfect for a bedroom refresh! Unsure why some have said the base is light because it's very heavy; it's solid metal. The base is gorgeous, and the printing is perfect — the lampshade is very moody when the lamp is lit, which is great for a bedroom. Overall, I'm incredibly happy with my purchase! Rifle Paper Co. can do no wrong!" — jackalope
16. A weighted knit blanket for the mom who is always looking to discover brand-new levels of coziness. (Hey, like mother, like child, right?)
Target
Promising review:"Oh this is so plush at the fraction of some more big box stores selling them for way more. It's weighted but not uncomfortable, which is why I love it. It doesn't feel like it's crushing you. Anthro looks at Target price? Win-win! Buy it, you won't regret it!" — Hols
17. A coffee maker with iced and latte settings, so your mom can get her caffeine fix just how she likes it, whenever she likes it, without having to wait in an incredibly long line at the coffee shop. (What is that person at the front ordering that's taking so long?? Are they making the barista grow new beans or something??)
Target
Promising review:"I love hot lattes, and this machine makes them great. Love how easy it is to use and love that I don't have to buy coffee pods, which I think create so much waste. The milk frother is a plus as well. It beats using a frothing wand. Highly recommend!" — Reviewgirl50
18. A faux-pearl beaded half-moon clutch purse because it will make your mom look like a million bucks, but luckily, it does not cost a million bucks. I mean, I know you'd spend a million bucks on her if you could, but who has that kind of Mother's Day budget?
Target
Promising review: " Such a cute little bag. It has some weight to it because of the beading, but to me, it looks more expensive than some cheap hollow plastic beads. My beads had no glue or anything on them like a previous reviewer experienced. It fits my iPhone 15 with room for lip gloss and maybe a thin card case. Definitely a dressier look." — LCreports
19. A pickleball beginners kit, so you and mom can pick up a new hobby together. You know the famous saying: the family that gets waaaaay too into pickleball together stays together.
The kit includes two paddles and two balls.
Promising reviews:"We're beginners, and this set is perfect for us. The colors are so pretty in person. So far, we don't have any problem with it; I hope it lasts a long time.😀" — Target customer
"Such a nice set! I've used them a couple of times, and they're great. Perfect start to trying out pickleball." — ap
20. A Bluetooth-enabled Polaroid pocket printer that literally fits in any pocket or bag and can instantly turn any digital photo into a sticker or print. It's a great way for you and your fam to create some new, adorable family portraits together...or a great way for Mom to prank you by printing out 20 copies of your third-grade class photo.
Target
21. A jar of vegan unicorn body butter because it's a major step up from the generic jar of hand lotion we've all given on Mother's Days past. This body butter is vegan, cruelty free, smells like candy, and looks like an actual freakin' rainbow! If your mom loves whimsy and hates dry skin, you've got a winner here.
Target
Promising review:"Love this body butter. It is thick when you first apply, but it soaks in and leaves my skin silky soft! I am also someone who is allergic to most fragrances, but I can use Truly products without a reaction, and it smells amazing!" — Jessica A
22. A 5-quart Ninja air fryer that air fries, bakes, and crisps, so your mom doesn't have to leave the house (or hit up DoorDash) whenever she gets a mozzarella stick craving.
Target
Promising reviews:"It was good enough that I bought one for my mother-in-law for Christmas as well." — Tedward
"It has a great basket to fit in quite a bit, but it's not overly huge on the counter. It is a bit loud, but it cooks well air frys so well! We are really enjoying it so far, and it works great on small potatoes, looking forward to using it even more!" — MrMikeG
Price: $119.99
23. A zodiac candle for the mom who's always emailing you your horoscope — here's a great way to thank her for always giving you a heads up when it's about to be Mercury Retrograde.
24. A retro-looking portable Bluetooth speaker with AM/FM functions because your mom remembers when your grandparents had a radio that looked like this! That old radio, however, could not hook up to their phones and play murder podcasts. The future is now!
Target
Promising review:"I own one and liked it so much, I purchased one as a Christmas present. It's aesthetically pleasing but also functional. It has a great sound and is portable. I use it in my kitchen and on my deck. Very happy with this vintage-looking item." — L2West
Price: $39.99
25. An ultra-modern glass watering can, for anyone whose mom is also a plant mom. But I swear she loves you more than her monstera plant (probably).
Target
Promising review: " Love it on my kitchen shelves and great for watering my indoor plants. I like it so much I bought another one for a gift." — Kaitlin
Price: $20
