Navigating Mother's Day without a mother is impossibly hard. I wish brands would make it easier to opt out of ads.

Navigating Mother's Day without a mother is impossibly hard. I wish brands would make it easier to opt out of ads.

In the spring of 2021, my entire life changed in an instant. "She's gone" is all my mom's fiancé sent to me. My mother, who was the cornerstone of my life, my sounding board, the person I called every day, whether she picked up or not, had unexpectedly died on a beautiful Sunday in May. For the next year, I agonized over holidays that never really stood out to me. I couldn't get out of bed for the entirety of Thanksgiving weekend because she didn't text me to ask if I was coming over. Christmas felt like another day, even though my sister and I tried to maintain traditions for my nephew. By the time April had rolled around, I had all but forgotten Mother's Day since she had died exactly one week after the year before. Wherever I went, I couldn't avoid Mother's Day By mid-April, I couldn't go to stores anymore. Every store was awash in pink and yellow hues, screaming about showing appreciation for the mothers in my life. My inbox had become inundated with Mother's Day emails about the best gifts, where to buy flowers, and not-so-boring brunches and dinners to cook for your mom. It became a minefield I had never expected to navigate in my early 30s. As I was scrolling through, I found one, just one, email that asked me if I'd like to opt out of Mother's Day emails. It was from Etsy. After staring at the screen for what felt like an eternity, I finally opened the email. It said, "We know Mother's Day can be a tough time for some. If you'd like to opt out of our emails, click here." Relief washed over me in a way I couldn't describe, and I instantly clicked the button. More companies have been offering the option By the time Mother's Day rolled around the next year, I was better prepared to handle the weeks leading up to it. I became the biggest proponent of drive-up services, avoided certain areas of stores, and allowed emails to pile up to be dealt with later. I was grateful to once again receive the email from Etsy, but I was amazed that more companies hadn't understood how hard this day could be for some and had yet to offer opt-outs. It's not just a hard day for those of us who have lost and are grieving their mothers. It's hard for those who have strained relationships or are in no contact with their mothers. For some, they may have suffered abandonment or are dealing with a mother or mother figure who is ill or dying. But it's also hard for women who have been trying so hard to become mothers, however that may look, or have lost children of their own. It wouldn't only be kinder for brands to allow for opt-outs, but it would also be smarter. Thankfully, this year, just shy of four years after losing my mother, I have seen an uptick in the option. Etsy, steadfast, was the first at the beginning of April. Then followed the subscription service Book of the Month, publisher Hachette, clothing company Lunya, as well as newsletters including Apartment Therapy, The Strategist, and OpenTable.

47 Mother's Day Gifts To Just Give Yourself

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · You deserve a little treat — on the reg, but *especially* on Mother's Day. And who better to pick it out than you. 😌 1. A TikTok-viral Lego flower bouquet that's startlingly realistic and won't wilt on you after a week. Assembling it takes just a couple of hours, and once it's done, you'll get to enjoy it as a unique piece of botanical decor — and a fun surprise for any visitors once they realize the flowers aren't real. Check out this viral Lego flower bouquet in this TikTok. 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. 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 Get it from Amazon for $47.99. 2. A quality pair of silk pajamas worth every penny for how luxuriously soft and breathable they are, with a slouchy oversized fit that won't feel suffocating. The best part: They're machine washable! Lunya Though I haven't tried this sleep set yet, I have a silk robe from Lunya that my sister-in-law got me a couple of years ago and it's hands-down the most luxurious thing I own. It's true 100% silk (like these PJs) and has the most incredible buttery soft texture to it — so I can only imagine what it'd feel like to fall asleep in one of their silk sets. Psst — you can check out more of their washable silk styles if you prefer a long-sleeve set, for instance. And see our guide to the best silk pajamas for more options elsewhere! Promising review: "Like the other short sets, the top is generous and loose. The pattern is beautiful, and each one is different depending on where the cloth is cut. Love this pattern and hope they continue to collaborate and do more Monet prints! Fabric is thick and sturdy. Definitely will wash and wear well over time." — Alicia M. Get them from Lunya for $198 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and nine styles). 3. A DIY miniature bookstore model because hey, you might not be running your dream business just yet, but this is the next best thing in the meantime. It also comes in other gorgeous settings, like a greenhouse, a flower shop, and even a magic emporium if you love a witchy aesthetic. It takes about ~20 hours total to assemble and finish, so this is a cool long-term project you can tinker with after the kids are in bed, or anytime you have the house to yourself. When you're all done, you'll have a gorgeous and detailed piece of decor that'd look lovely on a shelf, so you get to enjoy it long after you've put your finishing touches on it. Promising review:"This model has been such an enjoyable build. As of now, I am not completely finished. Having put around 20 hours into it, I'd say I have another eight hours more to go. The pieces are all vibrantly pre-painted, with the exception of one large base piece. The glue and tweezers it comes with are perfect for the job. The cloth I had gotten for the couch was not large enough, but I improvised by using another color cloth (that also came with the kit) for the seat. The attention to detail in this little study kit is just first class. I even recognized books that I have read/purchased in the past within this model! I am not experienced at all with building wooden kits and I was still able to do this one perfectly with minimal struggle. I will certainly be buying more Robotime models in the near future, the greenhouse one is next :)!" — B.R.J.G. Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in 11 designs). 4. A glass essential oil diffuser that'll put on a gorgeous light show while it quietly releases a cool, calming mist. You can add your favorite essential oil for aromatherapy or just enjoy it as a humidifier — either way, the entire family will be entranced by its unique, firework-esque light effects and colors. Heads up: According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA. Promising review: "True to image!! I thought there was no way this could look as cute as the pictures! I keep a water bottle nearby to refill it, and it works perfectly! I love it, and it's so easy to use." — Gracie Get it from Amazon for $29.97 (available in 38 styles, including two sizes). 5. A question a day journal if you've always liked the idea of journaling but never found the time (or energy) to make it part of your schedule. This gives you just one question each day to consider, and after five years (!) you'll be able to look back at all of your answers and really chart your growth. You start by answering one question each day for the whole year, and the following year, you go back and answer the questions again. It can be really eye-opening to look back and see how you've answered in the past, then consider how your thoughts and feelings have evolved. You can check out BuzzFeed's Q&A a Day: 5-Year Journal review for more on why we love it! Promising review: "Love this little book! I'm a busy mom, so doing any kind of full-on journaling is just not an option for me, but this little book is the perfect approach for someone who enjoys the idea of documenting life but is so busy living it they can't spend a lot of time! I love the design of the book, very beautifully done and I especially love that the pages are in the thicker side. Not cheaply made at all. My daughters both have requested one of their own, now!" — Alden Stowe Get it from Amazon for $8.46. 6. A shiatsu neck and back massager that looks like pure bliss, and at a fraction of the cost of a professional massage. If your neck and shoulders constantly ache, you deserve this! This has eight deep-kneading nodes with three speed strengths and optional heat! As shown above, you can loop your arms through to hold it in place and even do other things like typing on a computer. You can see it at work on TikTok! Promising review: "My pic [above, left] says it alI, so helpful. I already had a back shiatsu massager for years, but could not reach the areas around my shoulder blades and my neck, and for my nanny work, I get so achy. This thing was all I needed. I only expected the knobs and the heat, but you can attach it on you and do computer work as well as driving; it has an attachment to get the power in your car... LOVE LOVE this thing. I was in severe pain and tried everything. This was my missing link, lol. Feels like a human massage but you can control it." — Marinchich Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in five colors). 7. And self-heating Dr. Scholl's foot masks if your sore, aching feet are in dire need of some TLC because you're on your feet *all* day. Made with Epsom salts, lavender, and peppermint, these deeply penetrating masks will warm and relax your tired feet, leaving them moisturized afterward, thanks to the soothing shea butter. Check them out on TikTok! BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!" Promising review:"Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation, and they definitely felt good on our feet!" — KS2018 Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $14.37. 8. A birthstone necklace you can also have personalized with initials (your own, your kids', your partner's, etc.), making it both a stylish and meaningful accessory you can keep with you always. Amazon Mignon and Mignon is a small biz based in California that makes personalized necklaces, bracelets, and more. Promising review: "I was so excited to see how beautiful this necklace turned out! It was exactly how I customized it. The letters are easy to read on the charms. Great value! I'm obsessed with the cute size of the necklace and the amazing quality for the price." — Sophie Get it from Mignon and Mignon on Amazon Handmade for $21.50+ (available in three finishes, two chain lengths, and up to seven birthstones and leaves with custom initials). 9. Or a dainty zodiac necklace so no one will ever have to ask you, "Hey, what's your sign?" It can be customized with up to five constellations! DeJewel / Etsy DeJewel is a Houston-based small biz on Etsy that makes all sorts of gorgeous necklaces in this style — check out their store page for more designs! Promising review: "So so cute!! It's exactly as described and absolutely beautiful." — amandaclark1030 Get it from DeJewel on Etsy for $25.90+ (originally $51.80+; available in three finishes, five lengths, two chain types, and up to five zodiac charms). 10. A Fujifilm Instax instant film camera so you can flex your photography skills in a retro-style format and capture your family, friends, and favorite locations in instant prints — perfect for displaying on the fridge, along a wall, or at your desk so you can smile at the memories. BTW, if you like the look of that camera bag above, you can snag a similar vegan leather one for $14.99. Promising review:"I take this thing with me everywhere. People always love it when you pull it out because everyone loves a good instant photo. I have shot about 240 pics on mine and I keep albums for my kids to go through. Probably the most fun camera I've ever used. Solid build quality, excellent user experience. It's just fun!" — Andrew Get it from Amazon for $129.95. 11. Nortiv 8 walking shoes that are like gifting your feet little pillows to walk around on 24/7 — except throw in arch and heel support too. At a glance, people would easily mistake these for trendy Hokas, but you'll have an extra 100 bucks still in your bank account. 😌 Promising reviews: " Like a cloud. ☁️ These are the most comfortable shoes I have worn; it feels like a pillow hugging your foot. The same day they were delivered, I ordered another pair in a different color. I'm a healthcare worker, and these are perfect for standing and being on your feet a lot. Walking feels very smooth and low-impact. I never leave reviews on anything, but these are amazing." — Ian Durham "As someone who owns a pair of Hokas, in my opinion, these are better. I have plantar fasciitis and work in a hospital. Believe me when I say this, I HAVE ZERO FOOT PAIN when I'm wearing these! For half the price and comfort, I will 100% recommend these to anyone." — Jennifer Emilien Get them from Amazon for $56.94 (available in sizes 6–11 and seven colors). 12. A faaaancy automatic spice grinder with the coolest design. To use, you'll swap in interchangeable pods filled with spices for grinding directly into your food — especially helpful when the recipe calls for a *lot* of pepper. It'll give you that freshly ground flavor that tastes way better than out of the shaker! Promising review: "I'm so glad I ordered one of these after I read about them on Oprah's list of favorite things. As billed, it's so attractive and can sit on your counter, so easy, the charge lasts so long, and the interchangeable pods rock! It's easy to add freshly ground flavor, and fresh pepper is sooo much better than from the shaker. It's so easy to adjust the grind, and the color selection is fantastic. I love mine." — Sasha Get it from Amazon for $61 (available in 10 colors, including two models; comes with the grinder and two interchangeable pods). 13. A tub caddy, which will motivate you to set a good hour aside for a relaxing bath and pull out all the stops: candles, a cold glass of wine, a bath bomb, and a good novel (or Netflix). It's not only size-adjustable to accommodate different tubs; it also comes equipped with a wineglass holder, edges that safely prop up a book or tablet, a candle holder, and extra space for whatever else your cozy heart desires. Promising review:"I love this product! It's perfect for my free-standing tub. The quality is beautiful and goes perfectly with my finishes and decor. I spend much more time in the bath now that I can safely use my iPad and phone! Best Mother's Day gift I've given myself in years." — Christine Mckenna Get it from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in six styles). 14. An ultra-cute and trendy set of flower hair clips — these will have you channeling ~flower power~ every time you step outside the door. Reviewers say they're capable of holding up long, thick hair. Amazon Check out seven ways to wear the clips on TikTok! Promising review:"These clips are adorable. They are very sturdy as well. You have to use the direct middle petal for them to open, but they hold a surprising amount of hair. I wasn't expecting much due to the fact that I have very long very thick hair, but they can handle it. Good price and wonderful earthy colors as well." — Madison Austin Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four color combinations). 15. A high-quality, extra-cushioned Lululemon yoga mat worth treating yourself to whether you're a longtime yogi or just starting out. Lululemon Jenae: I have a very similar Lululemon yoga mat that I absolutely love! I use it for all of my indoor workouts, including mat pilates. It's far more comfortable than performing moves directly on carpet (and certainly hard floors) and offers really nice padding for your knees and hands when you're down there doing a cat-cow pose. Its rubber base keeps it from slipping around too. It's super easy to clean with just a damp rag after a particularly sweaty session and dries fairly fast, after which point you can just roll it up and stash it in a corner or closet. Aside from its functionality, I adore how pretty it is, especially the colorful pastel swirl designs. Get it from Lululemon for $98 (available in five colors and one size, which is 71x26 inches). You can check out their other yoga mat styles here, as there are options that are extra long or textured, for instance. 16. A guided visual "breathing partner" to help you incorporate moments of mindfulness into your day, especially when stress and anxiety start to feel overwhelming. This glowing buddy has fade-in, fade-out color prompts to guide you through various breathing techniques, like 4/7/8 "calming breaths" or 4/4/4/4 "box breathing." You deserve a little peace and tranquility this Mother's Day! Mindset is a small business that specializes in calming personal care and decor products. Promising review:"I am a certified yoga teacher, I KNOW the benefits of mindfulness and breathing, but I still struggle to get into meditation mode. This allows me to practice on the go, at home, in the bath, in bed — it's perfect!! Super practical, like having a metronome but for your breath. I've often searched online for 'guided breathing' but I don't always love the audio and then when the ads interrupt, I wanna die. So treat yourself and invest in this!!! I'm getting one for all my friends. Best purchase ever!!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $22.95 (available in three designs and a version with sound). 17. A stainless-steel wine chiller that'll keep your rosé, chardonnay, or sparkling wine perfectly chilled while lounging in the park or by the pool — because you deserve better than sipping from a warm drink (ugh). It fits most 750-ml wine bottles and features a double-walled, vacuum-insulated design to keep the wine chilled for hours! Promising review: "Would make a beautiful gift for a wine lover and I suspect our friends will be wanting one once they see us serving in ours. Really keeps white wine and champagne nice and cold. Every bottle we've tried so far has fit just fine as the top adjusts to the height of the bottle. Very, very pleased!" — Sherri Get it from Amazon for $89.95 (available in 12 colors). 18. Some marine collagen under-eye gels you can plop on while making dinner, watching TV, or enjoying that rare hour of alone time however you like. They'll give your tired under-eyes some much-needed pampering and help reduce dark circles and puffiness, and you'll feel totally refreshed afterward! Promising review:"I absolutely LOVE these eye gels! They were recommended to me via TikTok and I decided to try them out and they were absolutely amazing. They are soooo hydrating and make your face feel smooth and refreshed at the end. I'm a student, mom, and wife, so with my busy life, these are perfect to throw on as a spa day or at the end of the night when I get home from work and I'm doing homework. Hands down, the best eye gels ever, and not only that, but they're super pretty and aesthetic! And AMAZING for sensitive skin!" — Sydney Hare Get 12 pairs from Amazon for $18.96 (also available in a gold set). 19. And a facial steamer if you've ever stayed in a hot shower a little longer to just soak in the steam — now you can enjoy the same experience from the comfort of your bed or couch. This creates "nano-ionic" steam that penetrates your skin deeply to soften, hydrate, and open up pores — and like your steamy showers, it can also help relieve sinus congestion. Note that this does come with a five-piece stainless steel tool kit as well, but please be careful if performing extractions on yourself as these can injure your skin if not used properly. 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 $32.95 (available in three colors). 20. An investment-worthy KitchenAid stand mixer as gorgeous as it is useful, whether you're whipping mashed potatoes, mixing cooking dough, or making a big batch of meatballs — it's one of the best kitchen splurges, in my humble opinion, *especially* if you bake on the regular. And why not snag it in their 2025 Color of the Year, Butter — which is so gorgeous and cheerful (not to mention perfect for spring), it's enough to make you want to rethink your kitchen's entire color scheme. The mixer comes with a 5-quart bowl with a handle, a 3-quart bowl, a flex-edge beater (this thing is SO useful because it keeps dough from getting stuck to the sides of your bowl), a pastry beater (great for breaking butter!), a coated dough hook, a six-wire whip, and a pouring shield. The 5-quart stainless-steel bowl can mix dough for nine dozen cookies or four loaves of bread in a single batch! Both bowls are dishwasher safe for easy cleanup. Jenae: I have a KitchenAid mixer and honestly can't imagine living without it now — it takes all the manual effort out of whisking ingredients and saves you a bit of time as you can work on other things while it's blending. If you've been on the fence about getting a KitchenAid, let this be the final nudge you needed to pull the trigger. Get it from KitchenAid for $499.99. 21. A moody reversible octopus plush made to help little people express big feelings without having to say a word — but you might be tempted to pick one up for yourself and use this lil' guy for your own self-expression on days when mom life is, just, a LOT. Check it out in this TikTok. Promising review:"I ordered two of these adorable plushies, one for me and my mom. My mother loves hers. This little plush is very soft, and good quality, and it just puts you in a good mood. My son even loves playing with it. I was going to put this in my car, but I found that it helps my son to communicate his feelings when he doesn't have the right words to express himself. I definitely plan on buying more of these cute plushies." — Reigna Mingo Get it from Amazon for $7.38 (available in many colors). 22. An automatic pan stirrer for when you're whipping up spaghetti sauce for dinner but also have, like, 10 other things going on at all times and no one around to help stir the sauce when you have to turn your back to the stove! It'll be the little kitchen assistant you desperately need and might just prevent a burned food catastrophe or two. It has a built-in timer and uses four AA batteries (not included). Check out a TikTok of the automatic pan stirrer in action! Promising review: "My husband loves to cook. We have two very small children, so while his meals are mostly yummy, they are also sometimes burnt. :) This was perfect for him. He's able to turn it on, run into the next room to save the day with a plastic bag and a washcloth for whatever blowout-esque mess I'm dealing with, forget he's cooking, run back into the kitchen frantically when he remembers, and arrive only to find the meal practically cooking itself. Best. Gift. Ever." — Jake the ChefturnedDaddy Get it from Uncommon Goods for $25 (also available in a rechargeable version). 23. A winged eyeliner stamp so you never have to stress about whether you have time to put on eye makeup before you walk out the door (because if you're like me, doing it manually usually involves redoing one or both sides at least once). Be prepared for the other moms to start asking how your eyeliner has such perfect wings — it's up to you if you wanna share the secret! Promising review: "I like makeup. I'm not an influencer or whatever; I'm just a Midwestern, middle-aged mom who LOVES A GOOD WING and who has tried every liner out there. I tried this because of BuzzFeed, and I'm not disappointed!! It's stayed dark, smudge-free, and sharp. I'm impressed. I definitely recommend this product, and I will definitely buy it again! These wings are idiot-proof, Missouri-summer proof, and allergy-proof!!!!!" — Sarah Jackson Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (available in three wing sizes and a combo pack with all three if you want ~options~). 24. Levi's Ribcage high-rise jeans you can reach for all year long, whether you dress them up with heels or keep things casual with your favorite sneaks. Reviewers call them the perfect everyday jeans, and I have to agree! This classic straight-leg fit will (*cue Taylor Swift*) never go out of style. Levi's Jenae: I have these in a couple of different washes and absolutely love them! They fit my pear-shaped body pretty well, and I found them true to size. Promising review: "Perfect everyday jeans. These are the first jeans I have bought in 8 years. They are incredibly soft and comfortable but also supportive and fitted around the waist and butt. I love the true straight leg — they are not skinny and not wide, just a classic straight fit. I have a minimal wardrobe so I don't collect a lot of different fits. These were the perfect jean for a year-round, classic look for me. I purchased in some light and dark and love them." — Amanda Get them from Levi's for $98 (available in women's sizes 23–34, 10 washes, and three lengths). 25. A mini illuminated relaxation waterfall to help you recenter and block out the noise for a little while. The pump itself is quiet, but the gentle sound of trickling water is just enough to drown out loud thoughts and help you feel calm and relaxed. This would be great to put in your home office or bedroom. Promising review:"Awesome addition to my workspace environment. I've tried several fountains so far. This one is awesome, the pump is quiet, as is the water, it simply provides a really nice environmental impact on my workspace. I run it up to eight hours in a day, use distilled water only and clean it periodically, and it's running just like new after several weeks. Not all of the fountains that I've tried work quite so well, I'm impressed and happy with this purchase. Six-month update: If I could give this thing 6 stars, I would. It runs so quiet, and I nearly let it go dry last weekend *(three-day weekend and forgot to turn it off...) — once I filled it up again it was just as quiet as ever. I'm beyond impressed. Still cleaning it periodically and using only distilled water." — Rod_CdA Get it from Amazon for $38 (also available in another style). 26. The gorgeous Always Pan from Our Place, which will make you regret all the times you dirtied up six different dishes to make a family meal. The Always Pan can do it all: braise, sear, steam, strain, sauté, fry, boil, serve, and store. It's also sooo lightweight and compact and comes in *gorgeous* colors to match your aesthetic. It comes with a beechwood spatula, custom stainless-steel steamer basket, modular lid, and of course, the pan. Our Place was founded by Shiza Shahid, along with Amir Tehrani and Zach Rosner. She's a Pakistani social entrepreneur who also co-founded the non-profit Malala Fund, which promotes education for young girls. Bek: I have and love this pan! It just feels really nice to hold. The nesting spoon is absolutely genius, everything cooks evenly, and food just glides right off with minimal effort. If you hate scrubbing, consider getting this! Jenae: I *also* have this pan and it's quickly become my new go-to pan for cooking. I've used it for everything from boiling water for instant ramen to sautéing vegetables, and I'm always blown away by how well everything cooks without sticking. And cleanup is a breeze — you'll never have to leave this soaking overnight because of stuck-on food bits. Get it from Amazon for $80+ (available in three sizes and six colors). 27. A roll-on skin tint because sometimes you want to feel a little more put together before rushing out the door, but your hectic schedule leaves little time for sitting down to apply foundation. This weightless, silky formula provides sheer to light coverage with a subtle glow, and you can literally just swipe it on where you need it, blending quickly with your fingertips. Promising review: "WOW! I was too amazed at how it blended so well! And to buy the perfect shade online — I was scared at first, but it matched perfectly!! I texted my mom and sisters so fast!! You won't see me use anything else now." — Kam S Get it from Anastasia Beverly Hills for $33.60 (originally $42; available in 16 shades) — use code BEST20 at checkout for the discount! 28. A bottle of Mike's Hot Honey so you can add a sweet-spicy kick to your own plate next time the family's having pizza, grilled cheese, spaghetti, chicken nuggets... pretty much anything is made better with this. Amazon Promising review:"This stuff is amazing. I keep finding things to put it on. It definitely has a kick but you get used to it after a few times. I've used it on veggies (acorn squash was awesome), steak, salmon, and chicken nuggets that I stole from my kids. All awesome. The only thing it didn't go great on was tacos. But you win some, you lose some. The sweetness of the honey just didn't have a place on tacos. Love this stuff, though." — DadOfThree Get a 10-ounce bottle from Amazon for $8.50. Check out BuzzFeed's Mike's Hot Honey review for more info! 29. A spaghetti strap romper with a loose fit perfect for days when comfort and ease of movement are top priorities.

Amazon Promising review:"The comfiest romper I've ever tried and I love it so much! If I could wear one every day I would lol — it's THAT comfortable! As a mom, I just want to get up and go, but also look cute and comfortable while running errands and more! Definitely buying more!" — Kevin & Ida Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 30 styles). 30.

Promising review: "As someone who loves DIY projects and attention to detail, having a reliable nail grooming kit is essential. T his set has exceeded my expectations in terms of quality and functionality. The variety of tools included in this set is impressive, covering everything from basic nail clipping to more detailed manicure and pedicure tasks. I particularly appreciate is the sharpness and precision of the clippers. Both the fingernail and toenail clippers are sturdy and cut cleanly without any splitting or tearing of the nails. The stainless steel construction feels durable and hygienic, and I love the sleek design. The cuticle trimmer and pusher are very effective, and the nail file smooths edges beautifully. I've also used the tweezers for various small tasks, and they're precise and easy to handle." — dragonlord Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five colors). 31. And Fake Halo holographic nail polish from Mooncat because it's glittery, magical, and your nails deserve to look ✨ radiant. ✨ Mooncat Mooncat is a woman-owned, vegan, and cruelty-free small business founded by Michelle Lin.

We love this polish and will be picking out a few more. This is the ONLY polish that we use now." — Johnine L. Get it from Mooncat for $15. 32.

Promising review: "As a 62-year-old woman who gardens, cleans house, etc., I needed something that improved the look of my nails without looking cheap or crappy. This was more than I wanted to spend on nail totally worth it. Two coats showed NO ridges and looked better than natural without looking fake or cheap. Totally worth it!" — Unbiased Independent Reviewer Get it from Amazon for $17+ (available in five shades and a mini set). Check out our Londontown Illuminating Nail Concealer review for more deets! 33. A beautifully packaged Otherland candle to infuse your home with the smells of spring, including invigorating scents like Out of the Blue (blue hydrangea, sheer hyacinth, and water lily) and Clean Blossom (crisp linen, mimosa flower, and creamy gardenia). Otherland If you *really* love yourself a candle, you might as well treat yourself to one of their sets while you're at it, which are a bit cheaper than buying them individually. 😌 Get it from Otherland for $20 (also available in sets). 34. And a genius candle warmer lamp if you love the *idea* of candles but flames make you nervous, and you're always worried about forgetting to blow them out. Just set the candle on its base and turn the lamp on, and its heat will melt the candle as if it were lit, releasing its delicious aroma into the air. It's cute, cozy, and completely hazard free. It includes a halogen warming bulb, and even has a dimmer so you can adjust it to your desired brightness level. Promising review: "This little lamp is such a gem! It's gorgeous even when it's off, thanks to its adorable flower-shaped lampshade that fills the room with the softest, coziest glow. It heats up wax pretty fast, and I was genuinely impressed by how much fragrance it pulls from my candles (especially my beloved Bath & Body Works 3-wicks!). It's got a timer, a dimmer, and it even came with an extra bulb. It's a standard plug (not USB), and while I wish the cord was just a tad longer, it's still an amazing buy. Plus, I can finally relax knowing there's less soot and less risk of fire. Total win!" — xti Get it from Amazon for $25.59 (available in 13 styles). 35. A subscription to Book of the Month so you always have a good book waiting for you when you finally have a second to yourself. Book of the Month This super fun subscription service sends you a new or bestselling hardcover book. Each month, BOTM features 5–7 awesome books; you pick one (or more), and it's sent right to your door. If you don't like any of the recommended books, there's also a wider collection of older books to choose from, or you can skip a month! For more deets, check out one BuzzFeeder's Book of the Month review. Get it from Book of the Month for $16.99 /month (get your first book for $5 with code BOUQUET at checkout). 36. An Ember mug if you're constantly pouring yourself a hot mug of coffee or tea, then forgetting it while you chase around the kids or get busy with work on your computer. When you come back to it, it'll still be toasty warm, so you can finally enjoy your favorite hot bevy on your own schedule. Amazon This fancy mug connects to an app so you can control the temperature of your drink. It's not meant for heating but rather maintaining a hot temperature for an extended period of time. Promising review:"I absolutely love this cup! I play video games and watch movies on the weekend for a few hours of entertainment. And this cup delivers a perfect cup of hot coffee throughout my gaming sessions even with my fans blowing in my face. I now must have this cup for life. I love coffee, and it tastes even better in this cup because the coffee is consistently hot. It is simply fantastic!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $115.42+ (available in nine colors and two sizes). 37. Sol de Janeiro's hair and fragrance mist in Cheirosa '62 — this iconic, delicious scent now comes in spray form (if you'd rather not buy the cult-fave Bum Bum cream). This warm gourmand fragrance has notes of pistachio, almond, vanilla, salted caramel, and sandalwood — basically "summer in a bottle" and a guaranteed compliment magnet. Promising review: "If you're searching for a body spray that embodies the essence of a Brazilian beach getaway, look no further! The fragrance is a perfect fusion of pistachio, almond, vanilla, and salted caramel, creating a sweet and indulgent aroma that's impossible to resist. It's like summer in a bottle, lifting my spirits and transporting me to a state of pure bliss with just a few spritzes. Whether I'm heading to the beach, running errands, or getting ready for a night out, a quick spritz of Sol de Janeiro 62 instantly elevates my mood and leaves me feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Despite being a body spray, the longevity of this fragrance is impressive. It lingers on my skin for hours, providing a subtle yet intoxicating scent that draws compliments wherever I go. Plus, the sleek and colorful packaging adds a touch of fun and flair to my beauty collection." — lily hanks 🪩 Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in nine other scents and two sizes). 38. An enormous, 5-pound bag of gummy bears because you shouldn't have to wait until Halloween to go ham on a bag of candy if you so desire. Sharing is optional! Amazon Listen, we've left a short review here, but click through and read some of the dang novel-length reviews some people are leaving. People are passionate about these gummies! Maybe it's because they're softer than other brands and have 12 (!!!) flavors. Promising review:"As a gummy fanatic for more years than I care to admit, I have tried all sorts of brands, both popular brands and generic, domestically and internationally. In terms of taste, moisture, aroma, and variety, Albanese gummy bears are unmatched. Yes, they're pricey, but if you prioritize quality over quantity, this is the purchase for you. Treat yourself to absolute quality and go for Albanese." — trev rogers Get it from Amazon for $14.31. 39. A customized rubber stamp to place your personal mark on your new and well-worn books to help your library feel specially curated. It also means that friend from your book club remembers *exactly* where to return your novel after they're done borrowing it.

I would recommend." — Keisha Get it from Amazon for $5.29. 41. A set of quality linen sheets if you've been craving new bedding forever — if there's anything worth splurging on for yourself, it's something you use on the daily for hours on end! With warm weather coming up, you'll be glad to know these will keep you cool through the summer, but they'll be just as warm and cozy during the winter. Plus, they come in the dreamiest colors that'll let you live out your cottagecore fantasies. Piglet in Bed This mix-and-match bundle lets you build your own bedding set with pillowcases, sheets, and a duvet cover (if you want one), available in linen-blend or 100% linen fabric, in a variety of gorgeous colors and patterns. It's all pre-washed so it's dreamily soft right out of the box. Bek: I have a LOT of linen sheet sets, but I think these might be my favorite! They're snuggly, easy to fold, and come in vibrant, beautiful colors. I'm always excited to jump into bed when these sheets are on. Get the mix-and-match linen bundle from Piglet in Bed for $383+ (and check out their other bedding sets here). 42. An Atlas Coffee Club subscription to ensure you stay well-stocked on coffee (and well-caffeinated), because it's truly the worst to wake up and realize you forgot to buy more beans during that last hectic grocery store trip. Bonus: You'll get to try coffee from all over the world, so you'll feel well-traveled without even getting on a flight. Atlas Coffee, You can get a half bag, single bag, or double bags every two or four weeks. Then you can decide if you want light or dark roast, ground or whole bean.

Check out our Atlas Coffee Club review for more on why it's worth it! Get it from Atlas Coffee Club for $5.50+ /shipment (originally $11+/shipment). 43. A Selenite skyscraper for your crystal collection or other magical-themed decor. Selenite is a stone for mental clarity, flexibility, and decision-making, according to enthusiasts, so it sure doesn't hurt to have around while you're on mom duty. Promising review:"So happy with this (bought one for two of my sisters after seeing how nice it is). It's incredibly beautiful the way it almost lights up when light trickles through it. Really magical-looking. Love the cleansing aspect. I got it for the purpose of keeping my home cleansed, calm, peaceful, and happy. I hope this adds to that, and in the whole one hour I've had it, I believe it's doing the job." — Alex Olsen Get it from Amazon for $7.54. 44. A set of ultra-fancy olive oils you can whip out for those nicer at-home date night meals or any dish that could use a little extra oomph. "Alive" is a smooth, versatile olive oil with a grassy flavor, ideal for salads, dips, and baking, while "Awake" is more robust, perfect for heartier dishes and drizzling over warm foods like roasted veggies and soups. Amazon, Brightland is an Indian American-owned business that aims to make superb olive oil. This fancy elixir comes from hand-picked Coratina and Frantoio olives and is made in-house by a certified organic mill. The result? Pure heaven. Promising review: "I used Alive to make an olive oil cake for the first time. The flavor is wonderful, with a subtle yet bright taste. The Awake version was great with bread, homegrown tomatoes, and a little flaky salt. Bonus —the bottles are so pretty, they can sit out on your counter and be reused. Will purchase again!" — Amazon Customer Get the Duo set from Amazon for $74. 45. A jar of whipped shower icing that feels as indulgent as gourmet dessert, except this "icing" goes on your body! Each one of these jars are filled with layers of soapy ~frosting~ with a creamy whipped texture that both cleanses and moisturizes as you lather it on. Emma Lord / BuzzFeed Indulgence Spa is a Maryland-based, Black woman-owned Etsy shop established in 2015 that specializes in soaps, hair care, and body products. Emma says, " I started using this in the Three Wishes Tea flavor (a combo of tea leaves, peaches, rosebuds, and marigolds) and the smell alone is swoon-worthy, but I love love love how it feels in the shower. It has a satisfying creamy whipped texture, but suds up when you use it so you get that nice satisfying squeaky clean feeling, too. It's lasting a long time, too (which is great, but means I have to wait a little longer to try the other flavors 😂)." Promising review:"Very delicious and very rich! I bought a set in the Black Opium fragrance, which smells just divine! I will definitely buy again." — invisible9 Get it from Indulgence Spa on Etsy for $18.50 (available in many scent combinations). 46. A chunky knit satin-lined beanie to keep your head warm on chilly days and hair pushed back without disrupting your curls or hairstyle. This small biz also makes a satin-lined baseball cap with a scrunchie-style back that allows for different hairstyles, great for those busy summer days and trips where you're running around. Tap to play GIF Beautifully Warm, Beautifully Warm is a Black-owned, family-run business that makes satin-lined hats designed for natural hair. They make kids' sizes as well. Promising review (for the beanie):"Love these hats! The lining is smooth and soft on your hair. It offers the protection of silk wrap while also keeping your head warm for a winter outing. The hat circumference is large enough to fit on a head with lots of hair comfortably. It works wonderfully with my dreadlocks. Well designed!" — Chappy Promising review (for the baseball cap):"I thought I wouldn't be able to wear caps anymore because of my natural hair, but this cap has made it possible! I love it! It's comfortable and SUPER cute!" — A&G Get the beanie for $24.99 (available in three colors) and the baseball cap for $16.99 (available in four colors), both from Amazon. 47. A double-walled glass with a charming upside-down animal design that any young kiddos will most definitely want to use too, but thankfully it's fairly resistant to drops. It might seem a bit childish, but none of us are too old to laugh at an upside-down bear filled with milk. Amazon Promising review:"Some things are just meant for holding in the palm of your hand — silver dollar coins, your car keys, and sea shells for example. And also this cup. The 'bearer' of the gift reported, 'It's so fun to drink out of and I like holding it in my hand.' Endorsed by a 6-year-old, the cup is sure to please any owner. Add some brown colored liquification to make the bear appear like the great American grizzly or add some oat milk to make him/her appear like a dirty polar bear. Name your bear and give it a birthday — celebrate this fun creation. Cups like this are guaranteed smile generators." — Eebeegee Get it from Amazon for $8+ (available in two styles).

34 luxury Mother's Day gifts to spoil your mom with in 2025

Luxury Mother's Day gifts quick picks So she can skip the long line at the coffee shop: De'Longhi La Specialista Opera Espresso Machine Her new go-to handbag: Cuyana Concertina Shoulder Bag For at-home movie nights: BenQ HT2060 Home Projector Elevated hot chocolate: Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser Starter Kit Whether you're looking to gift your mom new luggage or a coffee maker with all the bells and whistles, springing for a luxury gift this Mother's Day is a fantastic way to treat her to something nice, especially if she's not the type to spend a lot of money on herself. To help you find a Mother's Day gift that she'll talk about for years to come, we've rounded up some of the fanciest, sure-to-impress gifts to surprise her with. While some of these gifts might be a bit of a splurge, investing in a quality item will ensure it lasts longer. Plus, she's worth it! Cuyana Concertina Shoulder Bag If Mom needs a new everyday handbag, she'll love this timeless leather version from Cuyana. It has five interior compartments to help organize her belongings and a snap closure to keep things from spilling out. Our newsletter editor Lindsey Smith bought this shoulder bag for herself and loves that it can hold everything she needs without getting bulky. Naadam Luxe Cashmere Duster Cardigan Made from ultra-soft Mongolian cashmere, this relaxed-fit cardigan will quickly become the most-worn item in her wardrobe. We love that it can be paired with slacks and a nice blouse for the office or styled more casually with jeans, sandals and a white T-shirt for the weekend. Lost Pattern Large Silk Square Scarf A mulberry silk scarf is an easy way for Mom to add a bit of flair to her outfits, whether she uses it as a chic hair accessory or ties it to her handbag for a carefree Jane Birkin look (minus the Birkin price tag). This square scarf from Lost Pattern features a beautiful floral pattern that's perfect for spring. Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Leather Card Case A slim leather card case is a worthy alternative to a bulkier traditional wallet, especially when it looks as nice as Bottega Veneta's. In addition to six slots to stash her ID and credit cards, it also has a center slot to hold loose bills. Lunya Washable Silk Long-Sleeve Pants Set Lunya's washable silk PJs are loved by several CNN Underscored staffers, including senior lifestyle editor Tamara Kraus, who has the brand's Washable Silk Tee Set. This breathable pants set is perfect for year-round wear and is so chic that it might convince her to ditch her old sleep shirts for good. Brilliant Earth Hydrangea Bouquet Pendant Jewelry for Mother's Day is always a safe option, especially if Mom never leaves the house without throwing on a pair of earrings or a bracelet. We love the look of Brilliant Earth's stunning Hydrangea Bouquet Pendant, which features a London Blue topaz, sapphire, aquamarine and diamond cluster. FitFlop F-Mode Jewel-Deluxe Metallic-Leather Flatform Toe-Post Sandals With a chic flatform shape and clusters of crystals cut to catch the light, these sandals can go from a luxe Mother's Day brunch to evenings at the beach. Thanks to their foot-health-focused FitFlop design, they're perfect for moms who want style and comfort. NuFace Trinity+ Starter Kit The FDA-cleared NuFace Trinity+ Smart Advanced Facial Toning Device uses microcurrents to firm and sculpt the face, making it an ideal gift for any mom looking to minimize the appearance of wrinkles right at home. As part of the starter kit, she'll also receive a charging cradle and power adapter, the brand's Aqua Gel Activator and its Silk Crème Activator. Read our review Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Makeup Secrets Kit This four-piece makeup kit from Charlotte Tilbury includes an eye shadow palette, lipstick, lip liner and blush in the brand's iconic Pillow Talk hue, so your mom can create glamorous makeup looks for special occasions (like that upcoming wedding) or her next date night, or just on the daily. Dyson Supersonic r The Dyson Supersonic r may come with a hefty price tag, but it's worth the money if Mom needs a lightweight hair dryer that still packs a punch. Beauty and fashion editor Sophie Shaw loves that it has an ergonomic design that makes it easy to use. She also appreciates that she's able to hear her podcasts while using the our review UrbanStems Flower Delivery Subscription Nothing brightens up a space like a cheery floral arrangement. If your mom loves having fresh flowers around the home, she's sure to appreciate a monthly delivery of them from UrbanStems, which you can pay for as you go or as a one-time gift. Read our review De'Longhi La Specialista Opera Espresso Machine Mom deserves a coffee maker that can produce top-notch brews every time. The De'Longhi La Specialista Opera Espresso Machine is the best we've tested and is a great option for the more experienced at-home barista. Our testers praised its ability to quickly heat up and make smooth, rich brews with ease. Read our review Parachute Brushed Cotton Venice Set Sound sleep is nonnegotiable, and luxe bedding is a thoughtful way to help Mom recharge. The Brushed Cotton Venice Set comes in four sizes — full, queen, king and California king — and includes pillowcases, a fitted sheet and a duvet cover so she can make over her bed in one swoop. If she prefers the more relaxed look of linen bedding, the brand's linen sheets would make a great alternative. Caraway Half Bakeware Set Whether she's a self-proclaimed Martha Stewart or only finds herself in the kitchen on holidays, she'll appreciate having quality bakeware on hand. This set from Caraway includes two baking sheets, a muffin pan and a rectangular pan, plus a cabinet organizer to prevent an avalanche. The brand also sells a Mini Bakeware Set or an 11-piece Bakeware Set if those fit her needs better. Vitruvi Stone Ceramic Diffuser The Vitruvi Stone Ceramic Diffuser is perfect for the mom who wants to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy but isn't sure where to start. We love that it has an LED light for ambient lighting, a safety shut-off feature to prevent accidents, two timer settings and an eight-hour run time. Social director Stephanie Griffin uses her diffuser as part of her bedtime routine and appreciates that it helps her fall asleep faster. The best part? It doubles as decor. Le Creuset 5.5-Quart Round Dutch Oven Le Creuset's 5.5-quart enameled Dutch oven soared to the top of our testing pool because of its durability and how well it retains and distributes heat. We love that the heirloom-worthy piece of cookware is dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. Read our review Hatch Restore 3 If Mom has talked about adopting better sleep habits, the Hatch Restore 3 has her name all over it. The brand recently released the device in a limited-edition shade called Rosy, a dreamy rose gold, but it also comes in other relaxing colors like Putty, Greige and Cocoa. Since last year, I've been using an older version of the Hatch (the Restore 2) practically every night. Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Kettle An electric kettle is essential for the big tea or pour-over coffee drinker. This one from Fellow has a gooseneck spout for precise pours and a high-resolution display that easily lets you adjust its settings. With this handy gadget, Mom will be a pro barista in no time. The Bartesian Cocktail Maker If your mom looks forward to her weekend espresso martinis but is still honing her mixology skills, look no further than Bartesian's premium cocktail maker. Our associate testing writer Carolina Gazal found it easy to assemble, use and clean during testing. She also liked that she could make mocktails or customize the strength of her our review Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser Starter Kit For the mom who loves an indulgent treat, the Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser Starter Kit is sure to satisfy her sweet tooth. I have the hot chocolate maker in Copper and love how beautiful it looks on my countertop. Plus, it's easy and quick to use. The brand's starter kit includes two dishwasher-safe ceramic mugs, four boxes of chocolate flakes and the Velvetiser in your choice of color: Charcoal, Copper or Platinum. Jo Malone Lilac Lavender and Lovage Townhouse Candle The Jo Malone Lilac Lavender and Lovage Townhouse Candle smells just as divine as it looks. With a burn time of up to 70 hours, it will surely get plenty of use. Once the candle is burned, she can reuse the vessel as storage or as a piece of decor. Briggs & Riley 26-Inch Medium Expandable Suitcase A reliable, easy-to-handle suitcase is a must, especially if booking more trips is on her agenda this year. Travel editor Kyle Olsen loves the Briggs & Riley Medium Expandable Suitcase for its durability and its expansion-compression technology, which allows you to pack more in the main compartment. Read our review Away The Bigger Carry-On Away is behind some of our favorite luggage, including its Bigger Carry-On, which senior deals editor Rikka Altland loves for its thoughtfully designed interior and lightweight design. The carry-on features a durable hard shell that can withstand rough handling, 360-degree wheels that make it easy to maneuver through the airport and a TSA-approved combination lock. Read our review Bearaby Cotton Knitted Weighted Blanket We wouldn't be surprised if Bearaby's weighted blanket quickly becomes your mom's go-to for naps. A favorite of editorial director Chelsea Stone, the cotton throw features a breathable open-loop knit design and comes in four weights — 10, 15, 20 and 25 pounds. If Mom is looking for a way to destress at home, this is a helpful (and chic) way to help soothe her. Read our review Tempo Move Gym If she prefers to work out at home but looking for more personalized coaching, the Tempo Move Gym is a great way for her to hit her fitness goals. The fitness system includes two dumbbells with colored-coated plates of varying weights, a 5-millimeter workout mat and a compact storage cabinet. With the accompanying app, she'll be able to access Tempo's large library of fitness content and receive real-time feedback on her workouts, thanks to its tracking our review Therabody Theragun Mini 2.0 Whether you slept badly or just wrapped up an intense workout, no one likes dealing with achy muscles, which is why Therabody's Theragun Mini would make such a thoughtful Mother's Day gift. Just ask home and gifts editor Amina Lake Patel, who bought this compact device for her mom one year. The Bluetooth-compatible massage gun comes with three different foam attachments she can switch out depending on her needs. Read our review Oura Ring 4 If you're looking to gift your mom a fitness tracker, the Oura Ring 4 is a chic alternative to other fitness trackers. With a longer battery life and a slimmer design than the Oura Ring 3, it's a fuss-free way for her to keep tabs on her health, especially if she's looking to monitor her sleep patterns. Hydrow Wave Rowing Machine For moms who enjoy low-impact, full-body workouts, we recommend springing for The Hydrow Wave Rowing Machine. Our tester, who's an avid rower, likened the experience of using it to the real deal, which makes it a great option when Mom can't get out to the our review Aura Carver Mat 10-Inch Digital Picture Frame If she's the sentimental type, there's a good chance she'll love the Aura Carver Digital Picture Frame. Griffin gifted her mom one because she thought it would be a sweet way to display the photos from her family group chat. The accompanying app lets you upload pictures and videos from your phone, so you can easily share snapshots from a recent trip or photos of you and Mom. To make setup even more seamless for her, you can preset the Wi-Fi network and preload the frame with images and a personal message. Read our review Courant Catch:3 Wireless Charging Station Crafted from premium Italian leather or Belgian linen, Courant's wireless charging station doubles as a chic catchall, giving Mom the perfect place to stash her keys and any loose change. Apple MacBook Air M4 If her current computer is on its last legs, it's probably time for an upgrade. Enter our current top laptop pick, Apple's MacBook Air M4.

Read our review Goldbelly Chef of the Month Subscription If Mom's on the Resy wait list for every new restaurant hotspot in town, we can't think of a more-appropriate (or tastier!) gift than Goldbelly's Chef of the Month subscription. Every month, she'll receive a curated meal box from award-winning chefs like David Chang and José Andrés that'll bring their coveted cuisine straight to her kitchen. We know you get tired of seeing the same gift ideas year after year, which is why Underscored editors carefully curate each gift guide to include a selection of products tailored to the person, hobby or event you're shopping for (though, if you're seeing some repeat products in our coverage, it probably just means we really love them). To make sure each gift you give is a hit, we include products hand-tested by our team, foolproof presents we've given to someone (or have been given), the newest products from our favorite brands and other trending items taking over our social feeds. For this article, associate lifestyle editor Rachel Dennis scoured the internet in search of the best luxury mother's day gifts, taking into account products our editors have tested, things we've gifted to someone already and other products from brands we love.
