35 Of The Best Mother's Day Gifts To Give In 2025
Hey! While we're doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time for Mother's Day, shipping times are tricky and can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. Shop early and be sure to double-check the retailers' websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for May 11th!
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!
Get it from Amazon Canada for $24.29 CAD.
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.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $114.99 CAD (available in four colours and as a starter bundle).
3. Poems of Parenting, a book of relatable poems that'll have any new or seasoned parent laughing, crying, and feeling ALL the things. It perfectly captures what it's like to be a parent in today's world in hilarious but emotional sentiments she'll find herself sending pics of to her mom squad with the same fervor she does memes on Insta.
Loryn Brantz is a former BuzzFeeder, mom-of-two, and currently works with Ms. Rachel! She's absolutely brilliant in this book (and all of her others, my kids love Blanket) and totally nails what it's like to be a parent in 2025. I can open any page in this and giggle or tear up — each poem is relatable but unique. I keep it on my desk for when I need a quick pick-me-up and plan to buy it for my closest mom friends for Mother's Day.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $19.99 CAD (Also available on Kindle and Audiobook).
4. 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!)
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.
Reviewers swear by this for sweaty cardio and weight-lifting sessions.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $25.99 CAD (available in four colours).
6. 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.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $61.73 CAD (available in seven colours).
7. 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. 😉
Amazon Canada
Get them from Amazon Canada for $64.24+ CAD (available in women's sizes 5–11 and seven colours).
8. A beautiful art print for the mom who loves to gather you all around the kitchen island and pour a cuppa while *~spilling the tea~* on the latest drama to hit her Mahjong group.
Get it from Julianna Swaney on Society6 for $20+ (available framed or unframed).
9. 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!
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $34.99+ CAD (available in three colours and different chopper attachments).
10. 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 colour, upload a photo of her beloved companion, and wait for the purr-fect piece of home decor to arrive!
Amazon Canada
Haus and Hues is a small business!
Get it from Amazon Canada for $44.99 CAD (available with or without a frame).
11. 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.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $114.99+ CAD (available in twin, full, queen, king, California king, and oversized king sizes and 18 styles).
12. 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.
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!).
Get it from Amazon Canada for $59.88 CAD and check out the entire Lego Botanicals collection!
13. 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 favourite 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 Canada for $14.99 CAD.
14. 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.
Get a box of eight masks from Amazon Canada for $28.99 CAD.
15. 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.
Most reviewers recommend doing this treatment once per week.
Get a set of four from Amazon Canada for $29.99 CAD.
16. 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.
Seraphic Skincare is a small business!
Get a pack of two from Amazon Canada for $24.99 CAD (available in one pack and different textures).
17. 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.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $51.50 CAD (available in three scents).
18. 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 17 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.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $476 CAD (available in 17 colours).
19. 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 Canada
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.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $81.60 CAD.
20. A heated eye massager complete with five different massage modes and Bluetooth sound so Mom can fully indulge, relax, and catch up on her favourite 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!
Get it from Amazon Canada for $76.49 CAD (available in three colours).
21. A Saucemoto dip clip, because eating fries while parked in the car just tastes better and Mom shouldn't have to sacrifice her favourite 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.
Get a set of two from Amazon Canada for $18.99 CAD.
22. 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.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $170 CAD (available in six colours).
23. 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!
Get it from Amazon Canada for $22.80 CAD.
24. A KitchenAid stand mixer every baker dreams of owning — it comes in so many colours 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.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $369.99 CAD (available in 22 colours).
25. 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.
Amazon Canada
Puzzles are my mom's favourite 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 Canada for $37.80 CAD.
26. 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 🤘.
Amazon Canada
Get them from Amazon Canada for $32.99 CAD (available in sizes 5.5–10.5 and five styles).
27. A fan-favourite 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.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $144.99 CAD (available in three sizes and four colours).
28. An Adirondack chair to replace the worn down, discoloured 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.
Get a single chair from Amazon Canada for $588.03 CAD.
29. A personalized book stamp she can use to literally make her mark in the novels she typically loans out to her book club buds.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $25.99 CAD (available in 12 styles).
30. 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 Canada
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).
Get it from Lululemon Canada for $44 CAD (available in 15 styles).
31. 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, Amazon Canada
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!
Get it from Amazon Canada for $201.28 CAD (available in three styles).
32. 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 favourite items.
Get it from BFFs and Babes for $75 USD (available in unisex sizes S–XL, four colors, and in aunt, mama, and fur mom styles).
*Duties and taxes are not included in international shipping rates.*
33. 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 Canada
Anchor Glasses Straps is a small business!
Get a set of three pairs from Amazon Canada for $10.79 CAD (available in black or a multicolour pack).
34. 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.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $19.99 CAD (available in seven colours).
35. 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 USD.
