27 Mother's Day Gifts From Cratejoy Your Mom Would Never Buy For Herself, But Will End Up Cherishing
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. Because moms don't want the same bouquet every year; moms want sourdough starters, crow-befriending kits, and charcuterie boards. 1. A crow befriending box if your mom constantly sends you TikToks of people making the acquaintance of backyard corvids. If they're looking to connect with nature, take up a new birding hobby, or else just spend more time in the outdoors, this is the perfect box for them! Cratejoy Like this TikTok video, and also this one. Promising review:"I ordered the Spoiled Chic box to see what my flock thought and now I will be a lifelong subscriber! My flock loves the treats! High quality, great customer service, overflowing with products for the money, and even fun little things for the human. 😉 You won't find better elsewhere!" — Mandy A. 2. A on-the-go recovery kit that they'll be so glad to have on hand whether they're traveling, working out, going out, or just seen a little bit too much of Mr. Sun lately. Best of all? They'll be thanking their lucky stars AND you when they use it! Cratejoy Promising review:"I received this box for my birthday from a friend and I absolutely love it — the products are excellent quality and they smell so good! I am getting married next year and I think I will order them as gifts for my bridesmaids!" — Tiffany S. 3. An oddball club box for the mom that has everything, but loves everything, too. If they've got quirk in their personality and unique in their job title (and which mom doesn't, really) they'll be delighted to see what joys await them when they dig into their box. Cratejoy Promising reviews:"THIS BOX IS EVERYTHING. 👏 I received this box and was stunned!! I truly loved each piece, and the curation was perfection. I really enjoyed it and look forward to what boxes come out in the future!" — Elise C. "You guys! I love this box, it is SOOOOO fun! My first box I got a cute pin (but it on my purse strap), to-do notepad and a task planner along with another little notepad and a sweet sucker. I already can't wait to get another one. I enjoyed the colors (I love all things colors)!" — Melinda C. Price: $35 per box (available in two sizes; also available in 3-, 6-, and 12-month subscriptions) 4. A "my mini and me" box if the mom in question has a little on their hands and would like some goodies for themselves and to entertain their kiddo all in the same glorious box. Made for moms by moms, these boxes come with new quarterly goodies that cover everything from feeding to educational toys for infants to toddlers and of course a special treat for Mama, too. Cratejoy Promising review:"I'm a first-time mom and received this as a gift, and I love every piece. Having the best quality products for me and my baby in one box has saved me so much time. Takes the guesswork out of what to buy. Can't wait to see what's in the next box!" — Maurey F. 5. A monthly earring club guaranteed to never repeat the same pair twice! So if you want to shower a mom with new earrings year-round, now's your chance to have them delivered to their door (and their jewelry-loving hearts) directly. Cratejoy Promising review:" I look forward to getting this little pink package every month. My mom gifted me a year subscription for Christmas and I have loved every single pair of earrings I have received. I think this last set was my favorite so far. Can't wait to see what else is in store!" — Ellie 6. A witchy box to add a touch of magic to their lives and to their gift piles. From tarot cards and crystals to mugs and candles, they're sure to find lots of new favorites to appeal to their witchy sensibilities. Cratejoy Promising review:"I received my first box today and love everything in it! The first box is the same for all new customers, regardless of sign-up date. Since there are no reviews, I took a chance on this one since I love all things witchy. My first box includes a house cleansing kit (rose quartz, matchbook, selenite, and sage). A 'witches gonna witch' mug, and a matching sticker. A gorgeous amethyst bracelet. A 'Thick Thighs and Witch Vibes' Keychain, which I adore! And a bar of soap from their shop, which is scented with patchouli and sandalwood. The quality of each item is excellent, and I look forward to my next box!" — Mallory W. 7. A mystery society kit that's basically a game in a box. Whether they wish to play alone or with up to four people, they'll want their deerstalker and pipe for these standalone mystery boxes. (For an extra special gift, offer to play with them as their Watson.) Cratejoy Promising review:"We love these boxes! Many of the boxes are totally different and unique, like '80s-themed, carnival-themed, etc. We have played with 2 people all the way up to 5-6 and it's always fun. Some of the puzzles are easier if you write directly on the pages; we found that clear page protectors and wet erase markers work perfectly to keep the originals blank! That way we can give the box away when we're done with it." — Leyna M. 8. A succulent heart arrangement for the mom who would love a touch of low-maintenance greenery in their life and on their desk. Cratejoy 9. A Spice Madam box if they are always talking about trying new foods in new places. With a new destination as the spicy focal point each month, give them the gift of culinary sight-seeing right from the comfort of their own kitchen! Cratejoy Promising review: 'Do it! I was searching for quick, healthy, international recipes to expand my family's dinner experience and found Spice Madam. This product brings me so much happiness each month. The boxes are thoughtfully and tastefully designed and assembled — the recipes, the spices, the playlist, the packaging — all of it. The recipes I have made are DELICIOUS, and the amount of each spice provided is generous.' — Mary C. 10. A whale tale necklace (with luxurious packaging already included!) to delight the mom-shaped-person in your life and remind them of their fave matriarchal animal. If they've been sending you all those TikToks of whales lately, it might be time to help them level up their fixation with a gorgeous necklace. Cratejoy Promising review:"The jewelry was much better quality than I expected. I can't wait to get more!" — Meghan E. 11. An 'introvert's retreat box' full to the brim with the staycation essentials of their dreams: A new release novel, a sweet treat, warm drink, and a shower or bath steamer to soak away the hours. Cratejoy Promising review: 'Awesome! Wonderful box! This is my first shipment, and includes a book (you pick the genre), scented candle, soap and bath salts, and a bookmark. I'm so excited to read my new book — I'm counting down the hours until I can log off from work. ' — Pierina F. Price: $60 per box (available with three beverage options and two bath options; also available in 3-, 6-, and 12-month subscriptions) 12. A Platterful charcuterie subscription because inside every mother is a Hobbit wondering when the next mealtime will be, and with this tasty box, they'll fret no longer! It comes with everything they need to make the perfect girl dinner board. Whether they're the mother of kids, pets, or dragons, they'll appreciate *not* figuring out a meal tonight. Cratejoy Promising review: 'I am still dreaming about the horseradish mustard in the first box. I loved the Perfect Bite, a pairing I wouldn't think to put together. T he value of this box is unbeatable; it was a great snack lunch for a few days after the initial board for two people! 12/10 recommend.' — Shannon R. 13. An artisan-made candle subscription that'll knock their candle-loving socks off with the quality and variety of dye-free, vegan monthly arrivals to their doorstep. Plus, the candles are ~seasonally inspired~ so they won't have to remember to switch from florals to pines when the holidays roll around! Cratejoy Each vegan, 100% natural wax candle burns for about 25 hours. Promising review: 'Vellabox is a must!! The Lucerna Vellabox is the perfect little monthly treat! Each month I receive a new scent matched to the season and my scent preferences! The 4-oz candle is great for sampling an artisan. When I find a scent I really like, I will repurchase it on the Vellabox site in a larger size! A few of my girlfriends and I subscribe to the box and we always compare scents when our boxes arrive! Such a fun way to stay in touch!' — Melina T. 14. A woman-owned monthly baking box so they can try their hand at new recipes with the assistance of video tutorials, quality dry materials, and even baking tools like piping bags and baking thermometers. (This is really a gift for EVERYONE because every baker needs a taste-tester!) Cratejoy Promising review: 'SO MUCH FUN!!! I was gifted the Crumble Crate subscription in the summer of last year and have absolutely loved it. I've been able to learn so many new baking techniques and have loved all the additional baking tools that I didn't have before! I save every recipe card and have been able to enjoy them over and over again — my family has been begging for me to make the lemon poppy seed cake again, one of our favorites!' — Emily Price: $49.95 per box (also available in 3-, 6-, and 12-month subscriptions) 15. A luxury yarn subscription knitters, crocheters, and crafters will NEVER turn down because is there such thing as too much yarn in their world? Absolutely not. Cratejoy Promising review: ' The yarn is always so beautiful and I like that it's a full-size skein. The attention to detail with the curated extras is always spot on. Such a treat to receive this box each month.' — Nevada A. 16. Or a monthly scrapbooking kit if they are the kind of crafty that is always documenting family history as it happens. Cratejoy Promising review: 'Beautiful quality papers! I've been receiving these kits for three years. Each collection contains twelve double-sided color-coordinated designer papers, and a coordinating sticker sheet. There is a challenge presented online each month...a great way to get inspiration from fellow crafters. The Design Team members also post sample layouts on the Facebook page, providing even more ideas to help create beautiful layouts.' — Nancy 17. A "Spiffy Socks" subscription because while they might not say they wish someone would gift them quirky socks that will help them start their day on ~the right foot~, they totally are keeping their fingers (and toes!) crossed that it'll happen. Cratejoy Promising review: 'Be the fun sock lady! These are the most comfortable socks I have ever worn. And now I am known as the lady with the fun socks. I renewed with the 12 month subscription so I will always have fun, comfortable socks.' — Robin D. Price: $12.95 per box (available in two size ranges; also available in 3-, 6-, and 12-month subscriptions) 18. Or a slipper box if their preferred method of warm feet is of a fuzzier, shoe-ier variety. Cratejoy Promising reviews:"Love the new slippers. They are so comfy and warm. My friends are asking for this as a gift in the future." — Carolyn S. " These slippers are AMAZING!! Imagine my surprise that someone on here does what they say they are going too, and gets the product to you in a timely manner. I love these slippers, soft, warm, and very cute. Pink is my fave color, too. I will continue with this little slipper box for a while." — Kim S. Price: $33.99 per box (available in sizes 7–9, two styles, and two color groups; also available in 6- and 12-month subscriptions) 19. Shaker & Spoon Cocktail Club: nobody wants to be stuck in a cocktail rut, least of all moms. This box has everything you need to make 12 drinks (other than the liquor) including syrups, bitters, aromatics, garnishes, and more! Cheers to that. Cratejoy While you will have to purchase the necessary liquor for each drink, the subscription box comes with everything else you need for the drinks (except maybe ice): syrups, bitters, aromatics, garnishes, and more. Promising review:"Wow! I love this box! I'm not much of a cocktail drinker but this really stepped me out of my comfort zone. I was able to make amazing cocktails and share them with my friends and family. I highly recommend this box to anyone!! It's so much fun and so delicious!" — John R. Price: $59 per box (also available in 3-, 6-, and 12-month subscriptions) 20. And a monthly tea subscription to keep the good-drink-train chugging along on Mother's Day. With enough loose leaf tea included to make at least 25 cups, they'll be clinking glasses in your honor all month long. Cratejoy Each box has enough loose-leaf tea to make roughly 25-30 cups. Promising review:"I loved receiving my first box. The packaging is beautiful, and the handwritten note was a wonderful touch. The best part is that the tea tastes fantastic! I look forward to receiving this every month!" — Mimi M. Price: $17.39 per box (available in black, herbal, or variety pack; also available in 3-, 6-, and 12-month subscriptions) 21. A BloomsyBox flower subscription for the makings of a perfect bouquet delivered right to their door. Plus, all the flowers are picked from sustainable, eco-friendly farms, so it's good for mothers and Mother Earth. (Bless.) Cratejoy Promising review:"The lovely flowers were packaged beautifully, I can truly recommend these pleasing flower bouquets as excellent gifts that you can rely on for lovely packaging, beauty, and quality!!!" — Wendell G. 22. An explore local box that spotlights a new US city every month via handpicked, locally-made artisan products. And it includes a watercolor map of the month's city, so they'll really be able to appreciate the vibes. Cratejoy Promising review:"Wonderful collection of handmade products from different parts of the United States. Packaging is modern with great colors! Would be a great gift this holiday season!" — Kelly M. Price: $45 per box (also available in 3-, 6-, and 12-month subscriptions) 23. A "fruit for thought" box perfect for the mom that adores a strong theme. Everything is curated around a fruit, so they can expect unique gifts, snacks, jewelry, and more. Go bananas because this box is sure to be the apple of their gift-loving eye. Cratejoy Promising review:"What an awesome box! I like that this is a unique box and is unlike any other I've seen. It has a good mix of lifestyle, home decor, and edible items. While there is a fruit theme, I like that some of the items are an interpretation of the theme, giving it more variety (eg, a soap dish with some of the colors of that month's theme fruit). As a fruit lover, this box is right up my alley and I can't wait to see what future boxes will bring!" — Natalie T. 24. A vintage teacup and saucer box Bridgerton moms everywhere are BEGGING to get on May 11. It's a proven fact that regency shows slap harder when you're drinking out of a cup not made in this century. Cratejoy 25. A charcoal drawing box if they're constantly doodling on grocery lists, work notes, and lunchbox letters. But there's no drawing experience needed, so it's the perfect gift for beginners looking for a new hobby to become obsessed with. Cratejoy Promising reviews:"I went into this with a very open mind as I am not an artist and wanted to try something new. I started out nervous and thought, at least I would have a good 'nailed it' fail picture to laugh about in the end. The artist is so super talented and a very good instructor, as I was so proud of the results. Even better ye,t the entire experience was so relaxing and positive. What a wonderful box and well worth the cost." — Kathy "This is so much fun. He's so easy to follow. You have everything in the pack to make a great picture. It's totally suitable for framing and something I'm proud to have made." — Jennifer 27. And finally, a Just The Snacks! box so you can Uno Reverse the moms in your life who are constantly handing out snacks to other people by giving THEM the biggest, yummiest snack loot of all. Cratejoy Promising reviews:"This box had a lot of variety. I felt I got my money's worth." — Leslie M. "Amazing quality and super fast shipping! Will definitely order again." — Jane P.

27 Target Products For Anyone Who Can't Wait For Spring Weather
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. "Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun" is (almost) BACK, y'all, and this list will help you get your wardrobe, home, skincare drawer, and outdoor spaces ready to soak it all in. 1. A linen mini sundress I am *obsessed* with because it is soft has an elastic waistband, and is a dream to wear. (I bought two because at that price, I'm not skipping on such a nice fitting spring staple!) 2. A patio chair to plop in your yard, porch, or sunroom because the sun is returning, y'all, and you'll want a front-row spot to soak up some rays. These are stackable, so if you want a chair to offer a fellow basking lizard, you can offer them one without taking up a huge footprint in your yard. 3. A Byoma phyto-mucin glow serum because if being outside more and enjoying the sunshine irritates your skin, then this will help combat those pesky adult breakouts by strengthening your skin barrier. Target I've been using this for almost a month and can't recommend it enough! If you have a certain snail mucin in your lineup and have been sad since they changed the formula, BE SAD NO LONGER. I love this more than even the OG snail mucin formula! Promising review:"This right here! Made my skin so soft and smooth. Highly recommend coming from someone with oily skin! I will be stocking up, lol!" — A M A Z I N G Price: $21.99 4. A packable straw tote perfect for spring farmer's market visits and any other sunshiny adventures. It's also Forest Stewardship Council certified, which means that it's made from wood in responsibly managed forests! Target You can read more about the Forest Stewardship Council certification here! Promising reviews:"Love! Large and roomy and looks expensive." — Anon "Super cute and well-made. Folds flat for travel and is very spacious. Not structured, which I like, and I really like the darker straw color. I plan to use it for summer travel, beach, markets, etc." — Mandysb 5. A set of three pastel framed flower prints so you can brighten up the inside of your house and banish any winter blues still lingering in any dull corners with these gorgeous floral frames. Target 6. A bottle of La Roche-Posay urea smoothing lotion if your elbows, feet, or hands could use some TLC in preparation for not being trapped in sleeves and pants as often. It provides up to 48 HOURS of hydration, is fragrance free, and is more than ready to be your spring and summer skincare sidekick. Target 7. A cute little woven table lamp classy enough to mesh seamlessly with any existing decor while also ~shedding some light~ in your room. Warm lights are all the rage for home decor trends — i.e., you can't have too many cute springy lamps! 8. A pair of mesh Mary Jane ballet flats to add a quirky curveball to your spring outfits. A classic silhouette and a callback to the mesh shoes of our childhoods? Yes, please. Target Promising reviews:" They look really cute in person. I wore them with ankle-length jeans, and they looked very cute, and they were comfortable!" — amcintosh "I love this mesh trend. Shoe is sooooo comfy too. More colors please!!!" — CATAgirl 9. A high-rise, linen-blend pull-on pant perfect for springtime brunch on the restaurant porch and all those outdoor picnics you'll be attending now that the sun is back. Target 10. An ESW Beauty vanilla almond butter smoothie lip treatment you'll reach for again and again because not only does it help keep your lips in tip-top shape, but it also smells and feels divine. (And we all know that's *not* always the case when it comes to lip products.) Target Promising review:"I absolutely love this lip gloss. The smell is so lovely, like vanilla. It gives a beautiful neutral brown gloss, which I really love. It feels very nice and nourishing on and to my lips. Thank you for making this product vegan, which is overall a plus for me, and I know many others!" — Yael Yasha Price: $11.99 11. A pair of mid-rise cuffed denim shorts because if you love the wide look of your jeans and aren't *quite* ready to let them go despite warming temperatures, these will give you that same ~flare~ while still keeping you cool. Target Price: $28 (available in sizes 00–30 and in two washes) 12. A cooling Lyocell sheet set to ensure you stay as comfy as possible through all the warmer weather by not overheating while you're trying to catch some Zs. Moisture-wicking and with top and bottom labels to make the whole "changing bedding" chore a breeze, these are going to be your new fave sheets! Target Promising review:"These are my new favorite sheets!!! The quality is unbelievable. It is way better than my Casaluna sheets. These sheets are so soft and silky and cool to the touch. My bed literally feels like clouds. These are worth every penny!!!!" — Alexis 13. A pair of double-buckle sandals perfect for throwing on with literally any of your spring outfits. And a pro Target tip: You're gonna want to snag these *now* because the cute brand-name-lookalike sandals are always the first to go once the sun starts to reemerge. Target Promising review:"LOVEEEE these sandals. I was worried they may be too bulky, but they feel very nice and look and feel like good quality. Love the gold buckles. The straps are adjustable. I got my normal size, and by adjusting the straps, they work well. I could have maybe gone up half a size as well." — CMiller 14. A set of solar LED outdoor string lights to bring a touch of whimsy to your al fresco spring nights. Just look at those little rattan light hats — they practically scream "spring!" Target Promising review:"Great addition to my balcony seating area. Gives off a nice soft light in the evening. The solar charge does wear off overnight but recharges daily. I've had these up throughout the spring, summer, and fall with no problems." — Always Shopping 15. A magically designed Power Pony riding toy the littles in your life will love because who doesn't want a pony to welcome spring? Plus, it's a win for the adults, too, since it means more time outside and less time moaning about being bored over spring break. Tap to play GIF Target Promising reviews:"My 6-year-old loves her pony! She had it mastered in no time and rides all over the house and outside. App works well to control speed. At top speed, it is fast! I like that once she is done with the pony, she can still use the hoverboard on its own." — Megan "Got a power pony for my little cousins, and they absolutely love it! Instructions were very clear on the assembly that was needed right out of the box. Putting it together took just a couple of minutes, and they've already put many miles on it. Would suggest to anyone looking to be the coolest gift giver ever!" — Snelly 16. A khaki floral bomber jacket so you can still have some layering pieces as the weather warms, and shout out your excitement about the return of flowers both outside and in your OOTD lineup. Target Promising review:"This jacket is adorable! I am 5'2" and the length is perfect. It might be a little cropped if you're taller. It is roomy but wouldn't look good snug. I would say order TTS." — Theresa 17. A sling crossbody bag if you want a hands-free existence while you go on new springtime adventures. (Trust me, you totally do.) This one comes with an adjustable strap for the perfect fit, plus plenty of easy-access zippered compartments so you can keep all your essentials handy. Target Promising reviews:" I recently traveled out of town, and this crossbody was so helpful! I wore it with almost everything. So many compartments, and I was able to just throw over me." — Mesha "I was looking for something to fulfill the need of carrying around my wallet, keys, phone, diaper, wipes, and a few snacks since my children are older now, and I don't want to carry around a giant diaper bag. This was perfect, and I really liked the style and material. As previously mentioned, if you are looking for something to hold a water bottle, the side pocket will NOT do that, but it works perfectly for hand sanitizer and sunglasses." — Jordan 18. A set of metal gardening tools that are rustproof, sturdy, and perfectly cute, so whether you *actually* plan to do some gardening or just want a few cute accessories for that outdoor workbench you're always meaning to use, these deserve a place in your spring "musts" cart. Target The set includes a spade, cultivator, and a bypass pruner. 19. A Blogilates ponytail cap with actual space for your head of hair that'll keep your tresses out of your face during your workout, hike, or grocery store trip. Spring weather does *not* have to mean spring flyaways. Target Promising review:"I've always hated wearing hats/headbands, but decided to get this one for a trip to Hawaii. I wore it pretty much every time I went out and loved this hat. It kept my head cool and the sun out of my face. The back made it comfortable to have my hair off my neck and also allowed wind to flow through. My mom actually stole my first one, so I'm pretty sure she likes it too." — E Price: $12.99 20. A pair of high-rise flutter shorts that are super comfy, but also have that extra little ~something~ so you look totally put together, too. Whether you're planning to drop in on a workout class or just go on a quick errand run, these will make you feel like you have a ~leg up~ on your day! (Get it? Leg up?) Target 21. A flutter-sleeve maxi dress to be sure you have a dress-up/dress-down fluttery fairy option for whatever pops up on your spring calendar. Wear with heels for a snazzy warm-weather party or sneakers for a casual (but glam!) OOTD. Target 22. A La Roche-Posay tinted mineral facial sunscreen with SPF 50 that is basically a magic potion because it A) protects your skin from the sun, and B) magically blends into your skin to give you a lovely matte finish. Nothing says "springtime" like as little makeup as possible for the sun to melt off. Target Promising reviews:"This has been my go-to for years. It has never pilled, absorbs quickly leaving a perfect glow, but not greasy, finish." — Rocketfly "I put this on almost every day. On light makeup days, it is great alone; it just gives a little tint. Goes on nicely. The consistency and texture stays great from day one to the end of the bottle." — Em 23. A Strider balance bike for the kids in your life who have a need for speed but aren't quite ready for pedals just yet. These bikes are all the rage for a reason: They're the perfect fun transition tool to take your kid from scootin' 'round the house, to peddlin' in the neighborhood big leagues. Springtime is A+ biking time, so be sure to set them up for success for all the springs to come! Psst — there is also a 14-inch version that can be upgraded with a kit to attach pedals when your kiddo is ready for some big-kid zoomies! Basically this company will grow with you (and the products are strong enough to get handed down to siblings/cousins/friends). I've already committed to buying the 14-inch when my kid outgrows this one, and my sister has called STRONG dibs on the 12-inch for my niece when the time comes. 😂 Promising review:"We've bought two of these over the years, and they are so amazing at helping kiddos learn balance. They ride them inside and outside every day. Our 4-year-old was able to pick up riding a pedal bike within 10 minutes after using her strider bike for the previous 1 1/2 years." — OurPlayfulNest 25. An aluminum birdie figurine because you are the master of your own decorating ship, so go ahead and tuck her in amongst your house plants, set her on your mantle, or add some colorful pizzazz to your outdoor space. Target 26. A cute lil' outdoor bistro set made of solid crack-resistant acacia wood so you can enjoy sitting outside and sipping your iced coffee, reading your book, or scrolling through TikTok in luxurious comfort for many springs to come. Target 27. And finally, a perfectly curated set of four fruity earrings you'll quickly realize is your new fave spring accessory.
