Any of these items, plus a big hug, should do the trick.
1. A pop-up Mother's Day card your mom will absolutely adore — especially if she's a sucker for handwritten cards and has a box under the bed with each and every one she ever received (guilty).
You should know better than to hand the mother figure in your life a Mother's Day gift without a card. Paper Love is a small business!
Promising review:"My wife prominently displayed the pop-up 'bouquet' at our Easter family dinner and received rave reviews. This isn't my first purchase, and including my Mother's Day card for tomorrow won't be my last. IT'S A WINNER!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $11.89+ (available in four styles).
2. A portable HP photo printer for anyone who hasn't had the time to finish up her kiddo's baby book or make an album dedicated to the last European vacation — no need to log onto another site to order photos or, gasp, go pick them up at an actual store. This gadget will promptly print all of her pics directly from their phone, plus each photo has a sticky backing that'll make them easy to pop into a book.
Promising review:"I was tired of running to the store for a few pictures and waiting for half an hour. This is what I decided to try and it was super easy — a no-brainer. I loved it and it didn't take much effort to make a project for my kids." — Monrudee kavan
Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in three colors and as a starter bundle).
3. A facial steamer for moms who adore soaking up the steam from too-hot and too-short showers. This lil' machine will let her reap those same benefits after the kiddos *finally* go to sleep. It creates "nano-ionic" steam that penetrates the skin to soften, hydrate, open up pores, *and* help relieve sinus congestion (take THAT, springtime allergies!)
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I purchased it when I was congested because I wanted to use steam to break up congestion. This steamer felt amazing. It definitely helped with my congestion, and it opened up my pores, too. I used the skin tool kit and that worked great as well. I love that this comes with so many settings, including a humidifier and towel warmer as well. This was an absolute game changer for me, and I highly recommend it." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in three colors).
4. A dazzling tennis bracelet no one would guess cost you less than twenty bucks! It's 14-karat gold plated, has a reliable clasp, and will add the perfect amount of sparkle to her daily stack. You might want to warn your siblings to shield their eyes — this beauty will be DAZZLING in the sunlight at brunch.
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord loves this brand! She owns a bunch of their pieces and wears 'em daily (like this ring).
Promising reviews: "I bought this bracelet to wear with my watch! It looks like the real deal! Sparkling, feel like I'm wearing diamonds! Easy to put on and take off!" — Lauren Carroll
"I ordered this to match my Swarovski necklace, and it was beautiful. Hard to open clasp at first, but the size was perfect." — Cassity
Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in three sizes and four colors).
5. Waterproof wireless earbuds she'll happily take on as her new workout buddy (no sweat-related problems, here!) and adore for how the digital display will let her know *precisely* how much battery is left. Oh, and did I mention they're PINK?! Glinda is squealing somewhere over the rainbow.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
One reviewer swears by these for sweaty cardio and weight-lifting sessions.
Promising reviews: "I use these every day at work! Love these — easy to learn and to use. Best thing about them? Well, everything, lol. Good sound, they hold a charge for long periods, and I don't have to worry about them losing power. I can answer my phone easily and then go back to music without a problem. Definitely a great buy and worth the money! Love this color, too!" — Erin
Get it from Amazon for $25.95 (available in eight colors).
6. A pickleball set to pay homage to her new favorite hobby! It comes with two paddles, four balls, and a bag to ensure she has the best-looking gear of all her competitors.
The beginner-friendly paddles are made with polymer honeycomb to have a larger hitting area without being too heavy. They're also USA Pickleball Association–approved if she's thinking about going pro.
Promising review: "These paddles have been a great investment. They are an affordable pair of pickleball paddles that I have used for almost a year. Having a pair of paddles makes it easy to play with friends and makes this set a great value for the price. Overall, the build quality has been great with only one significant chip endured by one paddle due to contact with the pavement of the court." — Remy
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in 11 styles and larger sets).
7. And a pickleball tote bag with a specific attachment to store paddles, plus ample space for balls and accessories so she can focus on crushing her smack-talking neighbor Karen instead of rummaging through an unorganized duffel.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"It looks great, and holds all my pickle gear. I keep my rackets, balls, shoes, sunglasses, and sunblock in it, and there is still room to throw in a water bottle, sweatshirt, and other stuff." — Nancy Shamberg
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in six styles).
8. Heeled mule sandals with braided straps that are quite similar to the popular Dolce Vita pair (but for waaaaaay less). Just think of how stunning they'll look with all of Mom's spring outfits and how great your wallet will feel when it's not empty from spending all your money on shoes. 😉
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
They've got a 3.5-inch chunky heel.
Promising review: "Amazingly comfortable. I have wide feet, so I thought they might not work, but I wanna give it a try. Wowww!!! They blew my mind, and they're very cute and very comfortable. The material might not last me for years but they gave me a beachy feeling, which I love. I totally recommend these shoes. They don't hurt my feet at all." — Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $34.98+ (available in women's sizes 5–11 regular and wide and in 27 styles).
9. A gift subscription to Wantable for the new mom trying to learn how to dress her body after growing and birthing a human — take my word for it; that is not an easy task (or adjustment). She can choose an "Edit," take a quick quiz, then later a Wantable stylist do the heavy lifting for 'em.
All of the "Edits" will be delivered to their door, including seven items selected just for them! They'll have five days to try everything on and decide whether they want to keep, exchange, or return them. There are a bunch of pared-down themes to choose from, like " Mom Mode" or " ApriLight" (aka spring-themed, airy options).
Get it from Wantable starting at $25.
10. A veggie chopper because none of us have time to cry at the club anymore — and by "club" I mean your mom's kitchen and by "us" I mean myself (I'm reserving for my annual viewing of Titanic). Anyways, this baby will dice up anything she throws in it at record speed. Chop, chop!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets.
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.97 (available in four colors).
11. A custom-made pet portrait — is there anything more adorable than that? I think not. Anyways, all you have to do is select a background color, upload a photo of her beloved companion, and wait for the purr-fect piece of home decor to arrive!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Haus and Hues is a small business!
Promising review:"Not only is this affordable, but it's so cute! I love that it comes with a frame, so I didn't have to worry about buying one. The graphics are accurate and of good quality. My two photos were delivered really quickly — less than a week after ordered! This is such a good buy, and I'll definitely buy it again as a gift for friends!" — Jessica
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available with or without a frame).
12. Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows because, if we're being honest, the ones she's been sleeping on are starting to resemble Flat Stanley. It's time for you to help upgrade your mom's sleeping situation. It's what she deserves!!!
Promising review:"I was just looking at these pillows again in case I had to purchase new ones. I originally purchased them two years ago. They are the most wonderful and comfy pillows I've ever had. When I read the reviews saying they washed up badly, I was ready to buy new ones. Lo and behold, I washed them and dried them in the dryer, and they turned out great. I just have the older type stackable washer and dryer set, not large, just regular sized. I put both pillows in the washer on gentle, then put both pillows in the dryer. I ran the dryer on medium heat and ran the cycle several times, just to make sure. I'm happy they turned out so well 'cause I love these pillows!" — T. Rune
Get a set of two from Amazon for $59.99 (available in Standard/Queen or King sizing).
13. And a waffle-knit duvet cover set to give your mom's bedroom a makeover worthy of everything she does for the entire family. She should have a super soft and cozy place to rest her bones and catch up on Real Housewives after a long day, don't ya think?
The set comes with a duvet cover and two pillowcases.
Promising review: " We searched high and low for a new comforter and went through three before we finally found something that was attractive, durable, and comfortable. We bought the Bedsure duvet insert to go with, which breathed great on its own when used without a top sheet. The duvet cover was easy to put on (flip it inside out, lay it over the bed, and lay the insert on top. Tie the ties, reach inside to the top corners, grab the insert, and flip the whole thing inside out… easier with two people if you have a king). Already had an instance where we needed to spot clean, and it did well. Also did well in the washer and dryer before we put it on. The waffle texture is just beautiful and it seems like it is well-made and will last. We are extremely happy with this purchase." — K Washington
Get it from Amazon for $82.99+ (available in full, queen, oversized queen, king, California king, and oversized king sizes and 40 styles).
14. A Lego flower bouquet she'll enjoy assembling and appreciate much more than a vase filled with living florals that will, sadly, die in a few days after she inevitably forgets to water 'em. "Life in plastic, it's fantastic!" —these flowers.
Check out this viral Lego flower bouquet in this TikTok from @shaelorend.
The bouquet includes 15 stems with a mix of flower and leaf varieties, including roses, snapdragons, and poppies, and it uses elements made from plant-based plastic. My 3-year-old is Lego obsessed and had a blast working on these with me! They appear intricate but, honestly, weren't hard to put together at all (and I'm a Lego novice!).
Promising review: "Buy this for anyone in your life who loves gardening and you are guaranteed to see their face light up when they open it up. Got it for my mom on her birthday and she thought it was the coolest gift ever." — Greg
15. A Pura 4 smart fragrance diffuser she can use to effortlessly infuse the house with a scent that *smells like home* and can be customized with an app on her phone. The strength and duration of the fragrance can be set (wow!) and it'll store two scents at a time for whenever she wants to change up the vibes.
Pura
Promising review:"I didn't think I'd be the guy raving about a home fragrance system, but the Pura 4 changed the game. This isn't just a plug-in; it's a smart, customizable diffuser that makes your space feel expensive without trying too hard. The app control is slick — switch scents, adjust the intensity, and set schedules — all from your phone. And the scent options? Next level. Clean, masculine, elevated. Think of a high-end hotel meets a private members' club. Whenever someone walks into my place, they immediately ask what smells so good. The minimal design fits seamlessly into the space and is subtle in the best way. If you're serious about setting the tone in your home—whether for a date night, downtime, or just showing up for yourself—Pura 4 delivers." —Matthew G.
Get it from Pura for $49.99 and shop all the fragrance options.
16. A precious Taylor Swift–inspired board book kiddos can gift to their Swiftie mom and watch as she dissolves into a puddle of tears (not unlike the ones on Tay's guitar). It tells a sweet story about parents sharing their love of their favorite artist with their child through vibrant colors. It's too cute *not* to add to your cart immediately.
I threw myself a Taylor Swift–inspired baby shower before my daughter was born, so it should be no surprise that I own this book. I have it on display in her room — I mean, look how cute it is! We also read it together when she wakes up (too) early and I need to entertain her so she doesn't wake up her sleeping brother. She loves the bright colors and I love the sweet story. It's a win-win!
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
17. Skin1004 Zombie Pack face masks that'll make her temporarily look like a zombie while she watches the latest season of The Last of Us (and praises the return of Pedro Pascal to her screen). This entertaining mask will tighten her pores and minimize the appearance of wrinkles while allowing her to take some *very* silly selfies to send to the fam group text.
Promising review:"Smells great! This face mask does exactly what it says. My skin is nice and lifted, hydrated, with a noticeable reduction in fine lines, improved texture, reduced pore size, and eliminated some newly developed rough patches forming around the hairline. Couldn't be more satisfied with this product! I have pretty good skin for 37, but this mask has really helped take my skin to the next level." — Samantha
Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $17.90.
18. Or a pack of Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Masks Mom can count on to work harder than all seven of Snow White's dwarf pals do while mining diamonds. She can apply it before she hits the hay to reap the benefits (firmer skin, more elasticity, minimized pores) while she dreams.
www.amazon.com
Most reviewers recommend doing this treatment once per week.
Promising review: "Caught wind of this on TikTok and decided to give it a whirl. Honestly, it's pretty solid! It really makes my skin look tight and shiny like I just came out of a professional facial. It's an overnight mask, so yeah, it does have to stay on for a while, which is a bit of a hassle, but the payoff? Totally worth it. My skin feels more elastic, and the pores look minimized, too. If you don't mind the long wear time, this mask could be a game changer for your skincare routine!" — Nala
Get a set of four from Amazon for $19.
19. Exfoliating skincare mitts designed to lift away dead skin (and remove a spray tan that's seen better days) — an excellent way for her to kickstart a spa-like experience at home or, you know, give her an excuse to send some gross before and after pics to your family.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
20. And a luxurious jar of Ouai whipped body cream packed with cupuaçu butter, coconut oil, and squalane to help soften skin while moisturizing it. It'll be a nice upgrade to the likely expired one your precious mother has been using for *too* long.
Amazon
Promising review:"My new absolute favorite body cream!! It smells so freaking yummy and feels even better!! Highly recommend." — Lindsey Motter
Get it from Amazon for $38 (available in three scents).
21. A Moccamaster drip coffee machine you and your siblings can all contribute to with confidence, knowing it'll likely become her most bragged-about gadget thanks to how beautifully it'll match the kitchen decor — it comes in over 23 colors! The brewing basket will stop the flow of coffee the moment they remove the carafe, and the carafe itself has a hot plate to keep coffee hot for as long as necessary.
My husband, a coffee connoisseur, has assured me in the "coffee community" this machine is regarded as one (if not THE) best drip coffee machines on the market. I mean, it does boast the ability to brew between a half or full carafe, a brew basket that automatically stops the flow of coffee when removing the carafe (no mess!), and a hotplate with an independent heating element to keep coffee at the *perfect* temperature. But for me? It's the color options. There are SO many to choose from — there's no doubt in my mind anyone would be able to find an option that would look great in their home. I actually *do* own one in my home (it's fabulous) and it does all that it says it will. It's certainly lived up to our expectations — and we drink a lot of coffee as parents of a two little ones under the age of 3.
Get it from Amazon for $359 (available in 23 colors).
22. Or, Oxo's new compact Brew Rapid Brewer that'll have any mom wondering, "Where has this been all of my life?" She can toss it into her tote bag and literally make cold brew or hot coffee at her desk after surviving the carpool lane — it doesn't need to be plugged in or charged!
Amazon
You can use this to brew hot coffee *and* cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe full of hot or cold water.
Promising review: "Simple to use and cheaper than that other brand. This is about the best tasting coffee I have ever made at home. Easy to clean. Sturdy. Portable." — Alex Bonick
Get it from Amazon for $33.05.
23. Plus a cult-favorite Anthropologie Icon Juice Glass that'll make every drink feel like a special occasion. There are over 21 clink-worthy styles, so you might as well apologize to your bank account now because you'll definitely be buying matching ones for you and your mom.
One genius on TikTok discovered Yeti cup lids fit perfectly on top of these so you can take them on the go! You can get a pack of two on Amazon for $8.99.
I am such a sucker for these glasses. My husband is getting increasingly annoyed at how little space there is in our kitchen cabinet because I cannot stop acquiring these cups. They have a nice weight to them, wash really well (I typically just run hot water through them for a bit then dry them with a towel since they are not dishwasher safe), and make my morning coffee feel a bit fancier. One of my girlfriends has been equally sucked in and we send each other pics back and forth when we're using the glasses. Love, love, love them.
Promising review:"I love these glasses. Heavy quality glass. They are great for cocktails, juice, or a Diet Coke." — Kpeppers
Get it from Anthropologie for $16 (available in 21 styles and four " confetti" styles).
24. A statement checkered cutting board with a high-end feel to it without the cost. Hosting book club? Mom can break this baby out and craft the most chic charcuterie board anyone has ever seen — so beautiful it might even convince her to finally toss the scraped-up plastic cutting board she's been running through the dishwasher for years.
Promising review: "I am OBSESSED with this cutting board. It is made so well and looks so expensive. Every time I have guests, I will use it as serving tray or display for charcuterie and I always get compliments on it." — Lorrin Farrell
Get it from Amazon for $31.63 (clip the 15% off coupon on the product page for this price).
25. A heated eye massager complete with five different massage modes and Bluetooth sound so Mom can fully indulge, relax, and catch up on her favorite murder mystery podcast while relieving pain from eye strain and headaches.
After reading about how much reviewers loved this product (and including it in my articles for years) I was so excited to finally try it out myself. I wasn't disappointed! It's a little louder than I thought it would be (as the air compresses in and out to relieve tension), but once I put music on with it, I didn't notice the noise anymore. I've been using it to relax my eyes after a long day of working on screens *and* parenting. I also break it out when I have sinus pain, and it's been really helpful in easing that pain. Consider me a fan!
Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon's must-have TikTok videos and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though the price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn't interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse and this technology has helped me get through the night easily.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $52.99 (available in seven colors).
26. A Saucemoto dip clip, because eating fries while parked in the car just tastes better and Mom shouldn't have to sacrifice her favorite dipping sauce to do so! I can't think of a better lil' gift to give your mom bestie who can often be found eating Chick-fil-A in between driving her kids to and from soccer practice.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"How did I go so long without one of these??? The Saucemoto was my first 'TikTok Made Me Buy It' purchase and I have no regrets. It clips easily to my car's vent and the sauce cups clip in easily so I can dip and drive. No more trying not to dump the sauce by accident while steering with the same hand that's holding the dip cup. It even comes with a dip cup for those places that do the pouches for their sauces rather than the cups. (I'm looking at you, Arby's.) Ya know, you end up squeezing the sauce onto the wrapper that's balanced on your lap and you end up getting some sauce on your steering wheel. OR you try the whole 'wrapper and sauce on the passenger seat and try to dip while watching the road,' which usually doesn't turn out so great." — Pleasure Pamela
Get set of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors and sets of four, six, and 10).
27. A family-size Perfect Pot she can use on both the stovetop and in the oven — it'll replace mom's stock pot, Dutch oven, saucepot, roasting rack, steamer, colander, braiser, and spoon rest! Talk about a fabulous gift, jeez.
Amazon
Promising review:"When it comes to cookware, I truly believe you can't do better than this brand, the material used, the rich, beautiful color, the ease of use, and the nonstick properties are absolutely amazing. I will make sure that I buy every last pot from this line." — Lori Bush
Get it from Amazon for $163 (available in six colors).
28. The I Love Trader Joe's Cookbook complete with 150 recipes, all using ingredients Mom can pick up at her beloved supermarket of choice. She can spend the next month cooking up a storm!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "For Trader Joe's lovers everywhere, this is a fantastic cookbook! It is filled with hints and tips, shopping guidelines, nicely organized recipe categories, and beautiful mouthwatering pictures. I love how the recipes are noted if they are gluten-free or vegetarian, etc. I ❤ Trader Joe's and I ❤ this cookbook!" — Love My Bookish Life
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
29. A KitchenAid stand mixer every baker dreams of owning — it comes in so many colors Mom will want to theme the entire kitchen around it. And it'll help her whip up so many treats you'll never want to venture back to YOUR own home.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising reviews: " I have used this almost every day since it got here. I am disabled and this has made baking a joy. I highly suggest it for those who might not bake as much because of physical limitations. I wouldn't be able to handle stirring, and I've never been able to make something like meringue. I can now! I did it the first day. Definitely the best investment in my kitchen." — KJ
Get it from Amazon for $449+ (available in 23 colors).
30. A Gray Malin 1,000-piece puzzle that'll give Mom a nice way to unwind (without her many screens) *and* decorate her home without paying for a *very* pricey art print from the brand. Truly a win-win.
Puzzles are my mom's favorite way to take a break from the chaos of her day-to-day. She even set up her guest bedroom as a "puzzle room." So, it made perfect sense to give her this puzzle. I love Gray Malin's style so it was exciting to see the art translate into an activity! It also comes in a lovely magnetic keepsake box, which is great for gifting.
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 and in a bunch of other styles.
31. And a rotating puzzle board complete with a cover and six drawers so she can work on her latest jigsaw in peace without hearing complaints that she's hogging the kitchen table.
Amazon
Promising review:"A must for people who cannot dedicate a table for puzzles. I have now purchased three of these puzzle boards for gifts. When a table is needed for dinner or another project, it is easy enough to slip the puzzle under a couch or bed without disturbing the puzzle. One of the puzzle boards is used on a coffee table which has a lower level it is placed on when the puzzle is not being worked on." — Tam87
Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in two sizes).
32. A fabulous robe featuring a unique scallop trim you won't be able to resist adding to your cart for you AND your mom — a must for anyone who loves indulging with a restful day at home on the weekends.
Lake Pajamas
My sister-in-law is absolutely obssessed with this brand — I finally tried their pajamas out for myself and I can see why! The fabric is so soft and it holds up so well in the wash. My mom requests a new robe every Mother's Day and this is the one I snagged for her this year! I can't wait to surprise her with it (I hope she's not reading this).
Get it from Lake Pajamas for $138 (available in sizes 2XS–2XL and four colors).
33. And a pair of plush checkered slippers to protect her feet from the ice-like tiled floors at home while also reminding the family of her punk rock roots, even if her checked pull-on Vans have been retired to the back of her closet 🤘.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"These slippers are not only super cute but also really comfy. I walk all over my house in them, and they feel so cushy with the memory foam soles. They are easy to clean, too, since they are machine washable. True to shoe size." — Brenbren
Get them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–10.5 and five styles).
34. A foldable chaise lounge with wheels attached that'll make toting stuff to the beach or park easier than ever — it transforms into a cart so Mom can take all her outdoor odds 'n' ends with her! Who knows, maybe she'll even learn to relax outside this season. (Easier said than done, amiright?)
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Bought this for family beach trips to haul our gear to the beach but have used it elsewhere too. Holds a surprising amount of gear, is easy to switch between the cart and a chair, and is comfortable to sit in. It also folds down to a nice packing side for the car. Would highly recommend!" — Brian Filer
Get it from Amazon for $124.67.
35. And fan-favorite beach tent with UPF 50+ protection your admittedly clumsy mom will be able to successfully set up all on her own — it pops right up in seconds, comes with reliable stability poles, and is weighed down by sand-filled bags (shovel provided!) so she can focus on having herself A Day instead of worrying her tent will blow away.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I recently purchased the Sun Ninja Beach Tent, and it has truly exceeded all my expectations. Setting it up was a breeze — within minutes, I had the tent securely anchored, thanks to the simple instructions and easy-to-use components. Even with the wind picking up slightly, the Sun Ninja stayed perfectly in place, proving its sturdiness. The tent is incredibly lightweight, making it effortless to carry from the car to the beach, and it packs down neatly into a compact bag that barely takes up any space. Once up, the Sun Ninja provided excellent protection from the sun, allowing me and my family to relax comfortably under its shade. The best part? It became the talk of the beach! Everyone was curious about it, and I received numerous compliments on how sleek and functional it looked. If you're looking for a beach tent that's easy to set up, portable, and reliable in variably windy conditions, the Sun Ninja is the way to go. This summer, it was definitely the envy of the beach!" — Adam Todd
Get it from Amazon for $69.95+ (available in three sizes and four colors).
36. An Adirondack chair to replace the worn down, discolored old one she usually curls up in to have a glass of wine while your dad mans the grill. This one is waterproof and has a contoured seat that'll make her feel like she's vacationing in her yard.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
My husband and I have slowly upgraded our outdoor furniture with this fantastic brand. Polywood makes furniture designed to survive the elements and live a long life outdoors without sacrificing aesthetics. So far we have a set of these chairs and a matching side table as well as a dining table and coordinating chairs. We've already had a number of storms that the sets have weathered flawlessly *and* they are super easy to hose down.
Promising review:"Not all Adirondack chairs are comfortable and find the seat depth and angle of this Polywood chair just perfect. No signs of fading despite our intense sun. To date, we've purchased 10. Very stylish too boot." — Simone
Get a single chair from Amazon for $229+ (available in 11 colors).
37. And hydrangea-covered melamine plates to bring her favorite blooms to dinner — they'll be a beautiful addition to her table indoors or outdoors! Sure beats buying a bouquet that won't last the weekend, that's for sure.
Rifle Paper Co.
They come beautifully packed in a box with a ribbon! You can also complete the set with dessert plates, bowls, and a serving bowl.
Get a set of four from Rifle Paper Co. for $42 (available in two floral styles).
38. A subscription to Book of the Month because few things are as soothing to a true bibliophile as cracking open a hardcover book and settling in to read. Pair it with a child-free day to relax and read; you'll be considered the greatest gift giver of all time.
Book of the Month
I was gifted a BOTM subscription many years ago and I've stayed loyal since! It's the only subscription service I've kept up with and gifted to several people. Each month your gift recipient will be permitted to choose from a selection of books (and more recently, audiobooks!), all of which are different genres. Then the book they select will be delivered to their door. Half of my beautifully color coordinated bookcase is filled with books from BOTM and I couldn't be happier!
Get three months from Book of the Month for $59.99.
39. And a personalized book stamp she can use to literally make her mark in the novels she typically loans out to her book club buds.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This is a great addition to my book collection. Stamp quality is amazing. The price is perfect. I love the font. It's a perfect size to fit near my books." — Paiser
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in 14 styles).
40. A pack of Espresso Martini Instant Cocktail Tea Bags that can be used to take *~tini time~* to the next level with minimal effort (and for wayyyy cheaper than a bar tab). All she'll need to do is steep the bag in cold water and a spirit of her choice (vodka is recommended, but it can also be made as mocktails) until the majority of the bag dissolves. Cheers to that!

SAYSO is a small business!
Promising review:"Initially thought these would need to steep in hot water, but they work in cold water. I like to let them steep around 10 minutes. Quick and delicious cocktails! I've tried all flavors but Old Fashioned and that's next. These are fantastic for cocktail lovers that camp. No heavy mixers to carry." — AnneF
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in six other cocktails and in a variety pack).
41. A stunning succulent sun catcher for the plant mom in your life who, admittedly, doesn't have the greenest of thumbs. This one will razzle and dazzle her as well as anyone else who enters her home when the sun is overhead.
The Boho Beach Bum / Etsy
This small business is located in Ocean City, Maryland. Owner Melissa is an Etsy star-seller who creates gemstone jewelry, glass bead suncatchers, and wind chimes.
Promising review:"It is absolutely gorgeous and the seller is friendly and helpful. Five stars." — Sky
Get it from The Boho Beach Bum on Etsy for $89.98 (available in three colors).
42. A trendy Lululemon belt bag she's likely been debating buying for herself for months now but always spends her money on something for the kids instead — treat mom to this practical gift so she can hit the town hands-free.
Lululemon
I own one of these and, as a mom of two, I can confirm it is an excellent investment. It's a great size for stowing your phone, wallet, keys, and sunglasses in when you're headed out on an errand, for a walk, or to the gym (aka whenever you don't need to bring an entire diaper bag out with you).
Promising review:"This belt bag holds all the essentials. It easily fits my wallet, keys, hand sanitizer, lip balm, and cell phone. The strap is easy to adjust and secure. The elastic loops keep the excess belt in place so it doesn't hang down and flop around. If you spend your day shuttling kids to and from practices and games, this bag makes your life easier by freeing up your hands and not adding extra weight to your shoulders." — Amber R.
Get it from Lululemon for $38 (available in 14 styles). It's also available in a larger size, an EXTRA large size and with a longer strap!
43. Or a Bogg bag all of the other moms have been toting around at school pick-up while she wonders if all the hype is real — spoiler, it is. They come in *so* many colors, have a bunch of accessories you can add to the gift, are easy to clean, and are so durable even her teething tot won't destroy it.
Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, Bogg
I recently got my very first Bogg bag in the medium size (or as the brand calls it, "The Baby." When I opened it, I thought, "This is as if a Croc became a handbag!" because they have so many fun accessories you can plug into the sides (similar to the charms on Crocs). I'm starting with a cup holder and a phone holder, but you should absolutely check out all their accessory offerings. It's very lightweight since it's made of rubber, which is great because I know I will stuff it to the brim with beach gear this summer. Also! Bogg is a small business!
Promising review:"Perfect!Very cute and, surprisingly, the perfect bag for me! The bag is still easy to carry even with it all loaded up. Today, I had a 30oz Stanley, my book, snacks for my two boys, their lesson books, a pack of wipes, two pullups for my toddler, my tiny crossbody purse, my keys, meds, and phone in it. And it wasn't heavy! Definitely kept everything steady and safe." — Holly
Get it from Amazon or Bogg for $70 (available in larger and smaller sizes and 56 styles).
44. A customizable sweatshirt for a comfortable option Grandma can layer over her tee before venturing over to the playground with the kids (spring weather can be so wishy-washy, literally). It'll wash easily if they get caught in a storm or if/when her grandchild rubs their dirt-covered hands on them.
BFFs and Babes, Heather Braga / BuzzFeed
I have many sweatshirts from BFFs and Babes, a woman-owned small business, and I simply adore them — I've purchased so many as gifts as well! The sweatshirts are super cozy and don't run in the wash (thankfully). I got my mom (pictured above, right) this sweatshirt for Mother's Day last year right after her second grandchild was born. I'm going to have to order another next year after my sister has her baby! Anyways, she loves it, lives in it, and claims it's one of her favorite items.
Get it from BFFs and Babes for $75 (available in unisex sizes S–XL, four colors, and in aunt, mama, and fur mom styles).
45. A set of anti-slip glasses holders Mom can count on to *literally* support her throughout the entire day — she won't find herself making that infamously nerdy "pushing-up-my-glasses-because-they're-sliding-down-my-face" move anytime soon.
Amazon
Anchor Glasses Straps is a small business!
Promising review:"I love this product. I had grown weary with my glasses sliding off my face. It's like I had to choose between them being tight and causing headaches and pain behind my ears or being comfortable but not functional. I decided to look for a solution. This was a fair price and different options (color-wise) so I ordered it. They are very comfortable. I can inspect under my bus without my glasses sliding off my face and don't have to hold them on anymore. They work perfectly. My glasses do not move at all." — Danyell Brazell
Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $9.99 (available in black or a multicolor pack).
46. A luggage drink caddy that'll attach to her wheeled luggage — it'll be a saving grace when traveling since moms are always the ones in charge of holding onto everyone's passport and boarding passes along with EVERYTHING else. She can use it to hold her Starbies, phone, ID, etc., and prevent her from fumbling around for all those items while heading to the gate at the airport, kids in tow.

Promising review: "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, when it's my turn to check my passport and ticket, the coffee cup fell to the ground and coffee sprinkled. It was a nightmare! This time I bought this cup holder, it did do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." — Philip
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in 32 colors).
47. A splurge-worthy nameplate necklace baby can "buy" to make mom's very first Mother's Day extra special — ya know, aside from the fact she recently became a mother.
Baby Gold
I got this necklace for my birthday in 2022 (which happened to coincide with my first Mother's Day) and had it personalized with my son's name on it. I get SO many compliments on it when I wear it! I love that it isn't a typical nameplate necklace — the bubble letter design makes it stand out. I also love that it's dainty and layers beautifully with other jewelry. I'm had my second child a year ago (time flies!) and have the same necklace with her name on it — I love it that much! Each piece comes with free shipping and a lifetime guarantee!
You can also enter BGMOM at checkout to score 20% off.
Promising review: "I just received my bubble nameplate necklace. It is the cutest, sweetest necklace! I was so impressed with the quality of the necklace. The chain is very substantial, which normally, with custom pieces in gold, is on the dainty side. This is my second purchase with Baby Gold, and my purchases keep getting better. I can't wait to make my next purchase! Love, Love, Love!" — Lacey Stewart
Get it from Baby Gold for $240+ (available in six lengths, three metals, and up to 10 "bubbles")
48. Lemon cookies from Levain Bakery she'll want to hide from the rest of the family — they are *so* refreshing and taste like sunshine and rainbows (you know, all the best parts of spring).
Levain Bakery
I received samples of these delicious delights last year and all I can say is "WOW." They're not *too* sweet at all like a lot of massive cookies sometimes tend to be — they're the perfect blend of sweet and tart. I'd even describe them as "refreshing" which is so odd for a cookie but works perfectly for these. They're perfectly chewy — my husband throws them into the microwave for a few so they taste freshly baked every time. My only complaint is that they're seasonal and I won't be able to order them whenever I please.
Get them from Levain Bakery for $29+ (available in packs of 4, 8, or 12).
49. And a "breakfast in bed" candle for the moms who often daydream about lounging around in their sheets for just a few moments before hitting the day at full speed (getting the kids dressed, making breakfast, tying shoes, wiping butts, etc). The scent of this candle will ground them for just a few seconds and remind them of a calmer time.
Evil Queen
When I tell you I am wholeheartedly committed to this candle brand I mean it. I was first introduced to them when I discovered their " OMG You're Engaged" candle in a boutique near my NYC apartment a few years ago. I've been gifting them to everyone I know (and myself) since. This small business is female-owned by an absolute badass who also writes poetry.
Scent notes:
Top: Maple, Brown Sugar
Middle: Butterscotch, Spice
Base: Vanilla, Creme
Get it from Evil Queen for $20.
