Mother’s Day is one of those holidays that immediately causes a brain white-out: So many loved ones to appreciate! So many of the best Mother's Day gifts to choose from! Take my (a mom's) advice: If you’re able, share some extra-special activities on Sunday, May 12, with the mamas in your life, and that's really all you need. (And if you’re a new mom, I wish you a warm welcome to the club!)

That said, you should never turn up to see Mom, Nana, your auntiesister or (God forbid) your mother-in-law empty-handed. While we all know gift-buying for moms can be tricky, but I like to shop by way of category to make the process a little less daunting. For example, if you have a mom who repeatedly scolds you to not buy her a thing, go the sentimental route with something like a display-box picture frame that makes it easy to showcase different photos, or a customized trinket, like a view finder. You can also mine her socials for ideas she may have never mentioned, like if her Pinterest board is full of photos of charcuterie board recipes, treat her to an artfully premade one. Or if you're shopping for your wife on behalf of your baby, play to her sensitive side with a board book about love like Jimmy Fallon's Everything Is Mama.

Before you start shopping for the mom or grandma in your life, consider some of the items on this list to treat her to for being such an incredible superhero.

How I Chose the Best Gifts for Mother's Day

As a commerce editor, I literally shop for a living, so when it came time to vet Mother's Day gifts, I started with my usual market research, considering customer-loved brands across price ranges and surfing reviews for what is the most highly recommended by reviewers. Keeping in mind that moms' tastes vary, I made sure to include everything from gardening tools, wellness items, makeup, books, office must-haves and more.

For the Candle Collector

1. Homesick Premium Scented Candle

Homesick

There's nothing like a cozy candle to light at the end of the day that will remind your mom of you—and how grateful you are for her. The sleek, cylindrical jar features a minimalist style that works with any decor, but what she'll really love is the scent. The fragrance has notes of bergamot, sage and lavender for a light, floral scent with undertones of citrus and spice with a burn time of 60 to 80 hours.

For the Coffee Drinker Lingerer

2. Vobaga Coffee Mug Warmer

Vobagaa

If your mom is anything like mine, she's sipping on her coffee for hours after it lands in her cup from the pot. She can keep the base sitting plugged in on her nightstand, the counter or even her desk so she can easily plop down her cup and keep it warm at the temperature of her choosing (up to 104 degrees). The pictured mug is not included, but it works with any standard mug.

For the Patio Gardener

3. Play22 Complete Garden Tool Kit

Play22

Gift the mom on your list everything she needs to keep even a tiny area in tip-top shape: This set comprises a standard trowel, transplanter, weeder, hand fork, hand rake, pruner, spray bottle and pair of gloves. It all comes in a cute bag that's made to organize the tools so she can hang them all up in the bag when she's finished tending to her plants. The tools are made of steel so rest assured they're made to last.

For the Infant Mom

4. Everything Is Mama by Jimmy Fallon

Feiwel & Friends

If you're tired of everyone telling you your baby looks like dad like I am, you'll be delighted to open this sweet book all about mama. It was written by Jimmy Fallon and illustrated by Miguel Ordóñez and is a sweet read for your little one. The cute illustrated creatures will entertain baby, and it's a great reminder for parents that at this age, everything to them is all about mama. Every time I read this book with my son it makes me choked up a little knowing how important I am to him, even though he's four months old and has no idea what I'm saying.

For the Mom Who Loves Game Night

5. Scrabble

Hasbro

If game night is a ritual in your house, Scrabble deserves a spot on her shelf. It's great two to four players ages 8 and up so the whole family can get in on it (with maybe a little spelling help if any youngsters are playing). "We love this scrabble game, the price is right. It is not only a fun game for all but it has helped my child with spelling words," says one customer.

For the Hostess with the Mostess

6. Boarderie Ciccetti Cheese & Charcuterie Board

Boarderie

So she's hosting brunch for Mother's Day, why not check charcuterie board off her list? She won't be able to help but indulge in the 16 hand-selected artisan cheeses, meats, dried fruits, and nuts served on a beautiful acacia wood serving board. And did we mention it arrives fast (you get free overnight shipping) and is fully arranged to enjoy for up to ten days when refrigerated?

For the Mom You Want to See Tear Up

7. Uncommon Goods Reel Finder

Uncommon Goods

Get mom a gift that will have her heart swelling with nostalgia and love. A view finder isn't only nostalgic in and of itself, but filling it with sweet photos of your youth will likely have both of you in tears looking back on memories while you hear stories of the time you cut your sister's hair or a special moment you had on your wedding day. It holds 14 photos and one center photo and the finder itself is available in a few different color options.

For the Migraine Sufferer

8. Koamask Weighted Sleep Mask

Koamask

Like a weighted blanket for the eyes, this helps helps soothe everything from puffy eyes to headaches and can be heated or cooled, depending on what feels better to her aching face. I use it when I get pressure headaches, and it truly helps relieve any pain I have especially when I'm trying to go to sleep.

Best Overall

9. Eberjay Gisele PJ Set

Eberjay

One thing every mom cherishes: sleep. Which is why this matching PJ set—with temperature-regulating fabric—from Eberjey is a perfect bet. Whether she always falls asleep in her work clothes or has given up on the pajama concept altogether, she’ll love how comfortable (and cute) she feels whenever she gets ready for bed.

For the Mama that Rarely Treats Herself

10. Augustinus Bader The Discovery Duo

Augustinus Bader

A little birdie told us it's been a while since she bought something nice for herself. That's where you come to the rescue with this gift set featuring the cult-favorite Augustinus Bader Bader The Rich Cream that makes our skin look and feel as smooth as glass (no, seriously, just read our review). But does it work, you ask? Well, our testers noticed the reduced appearance of dark spots and a firmer, smoother texture after using the products, thanks to its amino acids, high-grade vitamins and synthesized molecule-packed formula.

For the Cookware Collector

11. Caraway Cookware Set

Caraway

Everyone has a weakness. If hers is cookware, then this set is her match made in heaven. For starters, she'll get a frying pan, saucepan, sauté pan, Dutch oven and a storage solution to cover all the bases. Plus, they're nonstick and eco-friendly, safely reaching 550 degrees Fahrenheit without leaving any stains. Their stainless-steel handles and an enameled outer surface for oven-safe cooking are just the cherry on top. But we bet she'll be even more impressed by how well she can pull off cooking with no oil (did you guess we put it to the test?).

For the Beauty Enthusiast

12. Vegamour Gro Revitalizing Scalp Massager

Vegamour

This little device has become an internet sensation, relaxing women who want to de-stress, delighting people who want to grow thicker hair and, quite frankly, obsessing our reviewer. We recommend gifting with the brand’s scalp detoxifying serum or hair growth serum to refresh locks that might be a bit dull or thinning due to stress, hormonal changes and environmental damage.

For the Bedtime Worrier

13. The Nue Co. Magnesium Ease

The Nue Co.

This mix of essential mineral magnesium, soothing arnica oil and relaxing lavender is just what mom needs to rub on the soles of her feet before bed (it’s the TikTok-approved sleep hack she really has to try).

For the Minimalist Jewelry Wearer

14. Monica Vinader Nura Pearl Necklace

Monica Vinader

A necklace she can dress up or down, she’ll also think of you every time she sees a glint of that freshwater pearl (which are rainbow in luster) in the mirror. The chain is made of 18K gold vermeil and if it ever starts to lose color or tarnish, the brand has a five-year warranty and they'll replate it for you.

For the Wine Expert

15. The Cold Cork

Cold Cork

She doesn't play about her wine, so this device, which takes 24 hours to freeze and pops onto the bottle to cool her glass to an ideal temperature, will surely be a winner. Just don't forget to tell her that the brand says you should "decrease the angle of your bottle to slow flow and increase chill."

For the Stylish Busy Lady

16. Daily Look Styling Subscription

Daily Look

If mom likes to look good, but can't quite find time to shop (or just wants to try some new looks), she'll enjoy a gift certificate to Daily Look. The service matches her with a personal stylist who puts together a box of looks for her to review and send back, purchasing only whatever she likes. Each box has a $40 styling fee, but that's folded into the price of whatever she purchases. For a special personal touch, promise to visit and bring a bottle of wine to share while she tries on her new outfits.

For Hot Sleepers

17. Brooklinen Heathered Cashmere Sheets

Brooklinen

We’re converts to this new fabric which blends five-percent cashmere into an otherwise all-cotton weave to make a sheet that is buttery soft and somehow warm without causing that middle-of-the-night overheated wake-up. And we appreciate Brooklinen’s “short” and “long” labels on fitted sheets, so there’s none of that bed-making frustration.

For Vintage Lovers

18. Cariuma OCA Low Sneaker

Cariuma

The throwback style of these Cariuma comfortable sneakers, which come in dozens of patterns and hues, will delight the woman who likes the look of classic tennis shoes. And she will appreciate the increased sustainability in their production (two trees planted for every pair sold) as well as the amped-up comfort thanks to the cushy cork footbed.

This instant camera prints directly onto the photo paper that comes with it. It's so fun to use, and create instant keepsakes, that we predict even family-photo averse teens will want to be a part of the snapshots.

For Wine Lovers

20. In Good Taste California Wine Mixer

In Good Taste

We love the sampler feel of this curated wine flight, chock full of California varieties (there are 8 different wines in total) and shipped right to your door. Each box includes tasting notes for each individual varietal, plus access to a virtual tasting room. The best way to tide her over until the next trip to wine country.

For the Mom Who’s Undeniably Cool

21. Randolph Concorde Aviators

Randolph

Hand-crafted in the USA, these frames are beloved by celebs for good reason—for one thing, they’re engineered to military standards (i.e. they’re long lasting), available polarized, and quite frankly, look pretty badass. Better yet, you can get them engraved. mom will love them.

For the Well-Manicured Mom

22. Olive & June Mani System

Olive & June

Mom can self-select her favorite polishes (or you can choose for her) when you gift this mani system, but even better than the color options is the manicure essentials that come included. For example, Olive & June's innovative “Poppy,” a rounded handle that fits on top of nail polish caps to make brushing on polish smoother and more precise than she’s ever done freehand. (Extra points if you give your mom a manicure with her favorite hue.)

For Organic Food Lovers

23. Misfits Market Subscription

Misfits Market

Now it's your turn to make sure mom is getting all her fruits and vegetables by sending her an every-other-week shipment of seasonal produce that's been ix-nayed from grocer shelves because it's a bit oddly shaped, has outdated packaging or otherwise doesn't fit the supermarket standards of beauty. This eliminates food waste and keeps her on her toes, nutrition-wise.

For Weekend House Putterers

24. Summersalt The Cloud 9 Silky Pj Set

Summersalt

Loose-fitting, machine-washable poly charmeuse will be hard to get her to change out of since it’s so comfortable and stylish. This set doesn't have a collar around the neck which makes them unique from other button down PJs. The pants have an elastic waistband, too, so she won't need to fuss around with a tie every time she pulls them on.

For the Insomniac

25. Pluto Pillow

Pluto

In the brilliant idea department: A direct-to-consumer customized pillow. Your giftee just answers a quick questionnaire about their body stats, how she sleeps and what she likes in a pillow, then an algorithm creates an order that can be one of 35 variations. (The sleepy suspense alone makes this gift a win.)

For the Effortlessly Elegant

26. Jenni Kayne Flynn Cashmere Sweater

Jenni Kayne

This V-neck style is just the thing for mom to tuck in her closet—and perfect for spring/summer transitional weather. The relaxed fit means she can dress it up or down, with a slip skirt or jeans. Did we mention it’s also super soft?

For Any Grandma (Seriously)

27. Aura Mason Luxe Digital Frame

Aura

Designed to accommodate both portrait and landscape images, this frame (featuring a 2K display) instantly uploads photos and videos that are added to its corresponding app. What does this mean? Grandma (or any mom) can tap to frame and display all of her favorite pics.

For the Breton Stripe-Loving Mom

28. AYR The Slushy Tee

AYR

Is it just us or does a Breton stripe often feel like a mom uniform? This version from AYR is best-in-class for it’s subtle detailing around the neckline, but also the sleeve length, softness and color selection (of course, we’re partial to the Marais Blue).

For the Coffee Lover

29. Bean Box World Coffee Tour

Bean Box

This set of 12 freshly roasted gourmet coffees from the world’s microlots comes with a guide so she’ll know her chocolatey Latin American roasts from her fruit-forward African blends. Each bag contains whole beans so you can freshly grind them before you brew.

For the Absent Minded

30. Tile Sticker

Tile

No more roaming around for her keys: These adhesive-backed, Bluetooth enabled trackers will ring if her lost item (say, a glasses case, or wallet, or whatever they’re stuck to) is within 150 feet. All she has to do is hop on her Tile app and ring her tile to find her phone or whatever she has it attached to. Farther away than that, and a pop-up map shows the location. These come in a set of two and require batteries, but they come with them for the first usage.

For the Makeup Minimalists

31. Ilia Multi-Stick

ILIA

There’s no greater workhorse in your beauty bag than this multi-stick for lips and cheeks—mom will agree. Available in various beautifully buildable colors, she’ll delight at how luminous her skin looks (and feels!), not to mention the pocket-sized packaging. If she likes to keep her makeup bag nice and travel-sized, this multi-use stick will minimize three products to one.

For the Wellness Enthusiast

32. Higher Dose Infrared Sauna Blanket V3

Higher Dose

This is the home version of the celebrity-favorite infrared sauna craze. You lie down. You wrap a burrito of a heated blanket around you. You sweat a lot. And shockingly, you feel really clean and relaxed afterwards, thanks to the layers of charcoal, clay and amethyst and tourmaline crystals that (allegedly) draw impurities out along with your sweat.

For the Long Walker

33. Draper James Bala Bangle Weights

Bala x Draper James

These one-pound weights look so cute, she won’t even notice she’s building up her arm or leg muscles when she puts them on before her walkabout. I wear these constantly when I take the baby for a walk in the park. They have such a nice feel because of the silicone and don't feel bulky around my ankles or wrists. The blue and white is so coastal grandma, just in time for summer.

34. Brightland Duo Oils

Brightland

She can brag to all her foodie friends about her pantry full of acclaimed, California-made blended olive oils with hints of lemon and basil. And the attractive bottles with UV-coated glass that protect the delicate oils? They're Instagram-ready for her next food prep post. The Awake oil is a cold-pressed oil made for cooking, while the Alive oil has a smoother taste meant for topping foods.

For the Rose Lover

35. Dreamcutflowers Premium Roses Subscription Box

DreamCutFlowers

Sure, anyone can send their mom roses on Mother’s Day. But what if you sent her roses every month? That’s easy with this subscription service that lets you choose between garden style, premium or tinted rose varieties, with no commitment. (Bonus: You save $15 on your first box.)

For the Mom Who Loves to Be Cozy

36. The Comfy

The Comfy

Let’s say your gift recipient is comfort-first, comfort-last and comfort-always. Show her that you see her and love her just the way she is by gifting this wearable tunic Executive Editor Dara Katz summed up as a “Frankenstein monster of a hybrid blanket/sweatshirt” that she hasn’t taken off since the first hard freeze of ’20. It has a huge pocket in the front and a hood for extra cozies not to mention the incredibly soft sherpa lining.

For the One Who Doesn't Want to Compromise Aesthetics

37. Objecto H3 Hybrid Humidifier

West Elm

She likes her home super-warm, say, or blasts the air on high all summer. That’s going to take a toll on the skin, sinuses and overall feeling of comfort. This attractive gadget looks like an art object, but it’s really a humidifier with aromatherapy function that has a two- and four-hour shut-off button.

For Entertainment Buffs

38. Max Subscription

Max

Your mom still hasn’t seen the reboot of Father of the Bride. Nor has she watched season 2 of White Lotus. For one monthly amount, she can now understand all your pop culture obsessions and possibly turn you on to some new ones. There are hundreds of shows and movies to surf through, not to mention the app is super easy to putter around on. At only $10, this is a steal.

For the Baker

39. Breville The Bakery Chef

Breville

This sleek, sturdy and pro-quality mixer earned high marks from our VP of Editorial Candace Davison. "The 12-speed dial makes it easy to gradually up the ante—and pause it, if you need to double-check your recipe—but what I loved most was the guide alongside the controls," she says. That double sided scraper beater is ingeniously designed to swipe the sides and bottom of the bowl at every turn (legit, genius).

40. Tempo Move

Tempo

This all-in-one home workout center includes a cabinet of weights and a way to cast exercise and coaching classes lasting from 15 to 60 minutes onto your television. Here’s the innovation: artificial intelligence tech reads your body positioning and alerts you to when you need to modify your form. It comes with two adjustable Olympic-grade weights, 12 weight plates, four weight collars, an iPhone docking station and a storage cabinet.

For the Sweet Tooth

41. Sweet Enough by Alison Roman

Amazon

Mom will love the range of high-flavor yet low-effort desserts. "I will buy any cookbook that Alison Roman writes. Her idea that imperfection and cooking can absolutely co-exist has made me love cooking again. Her easy, do-able recipes and forgiving style not only allows for improvisation, but invites it. And you know what? It works!" Says an Amazon customer. Roman herself is the ideal expert to help simplify having once worked as a restaurant pastry chef studying flavor, technique, precision and more. This book distills those learnings into a way that feels doable—and delicious.

For the Mom Who Hates Doing Dishes

42. Lekue Quick Microwave Pasta Cooker

Lekue

This silicone cookware lets her cook pasta in the microwave in a snap. Create penne alla vodka and lemon spaghetti, sauce and all, in the same vessel. You can wash, cook and drain your pasta in this dish, not to mention eat from it after it's done. It's easy to clean and other than a fork, the only dish you'll have to clean after you're done eating. Customers say it's important to follow the boiling instructions to get the results, otherwise the water could boil over. (actually find that really hard to do! I have a 1000 watt and add a bit more water and a bit more time because I like my pasta a bit softer," mentions one customer.

For the New Yorker at Heart

43. Literie ‘Brunch in the West Village’ Candle

Literie

This elegant candle is lightly scented with citrus and champagne, but it’s the visual of a stroll through New York City’s picturesque West Village that will make mom feel wistful and cool. The scent is lovely for spring and summertime so May is the perfect time for her to light it for the first time. "I say it’s like lighting a citrus candle in a cabin in the woods that hasn’t been renovated since the 1970s…. and I mean this in the best way. Glorious," analogized one customer.

For the Easy-Meal Momma

44. Our Place The Large Always Pan

Our Place

If the mom in your life loves a go-to pan to throw her meals in and doesn't need a huge set to whip up dinner? Get her this large version of the famous Always Pan that sells out as soon as a new color becomes available—there are six shades as of this writing—and see why Senior Food Editor Katherine Gillen says it hits the sweet spot in “aesthetics, quality and versatility.” The original pan is 10.5-inches and the larger one is 12.5-inches in diameter.

For the Mom Always On Her Phone

45. Lookoptic Casper Blue Light Glasses

Lookoptic

The blue light emitted from digital devices has been linked to headaches, sleeplessness and at the very least, eye fatigue. These blue-light frames have a classic design and a smooth matte finish, and they are available in multiple magnification strengths.

For the Skincare Obsessed

46. Newkey LED Face Mask Light Therapy

Newkey

She’ll appreciate the versatility of this device, which addresses issues such as sensitive skin and redness, fine lines and wrinkles, lifting and firming, acne, dark spots and uneven skin tone. More than 2,200 five-star ratings attest to the cumulative effects of reclining with this on your face for 20-minute sessions.

For the Pedicure Fanatic

47. Baby Foot Exfoliation Foot Peel

Baby Foot

She can put these little plastic booties for an hour, then a week later, all the callouses and dead skin on her heels and toes magically sloughs off. (Overall, way less ticklish than using a pumice stone.) It's formulated with 16 natural extracts and the simple instructions make it an easy self-care task she'll love keeping up with. Each box comes with one pair of booties, so grab her a few so she can keep up with her smooth feet regularly.

For the Home Chef

48. Hedley & Bennett Essential Apron

Hedley & Bennett

Big pockets, sturdy cotton denim and a lie-flat neck strap are all elements of this Los Angeles-made apron that's beloved by pro chefs. And the dotted pattern is banging. There are tons (and we mean tons) of patterns and colors available to choose from, and you can even customize it for her for an additional $20.

For the Mom Who Likes to Be Cute and Cozy

49. Parlovable Fuzzy Slippers

Parlovable

Fun, cute slippers that don't compromise comfort are a must-have for moms who always like to have something on their feet. These funky ones have furry, criss-cross straps and a memory foam footbed for comfort. "First and foremost, the comfort level is off the charts. The cross band design provides a snug fit without being too tight, and the fuzzy material feels like a warm hug for my feet. It's like walking on clouds! The cushioning is just right, offering the perfect balance between support and plushness," says one Amazon customer.

For the Athleisure Wearer

50. Vuori Boyfriend Jogger

Vuori

These lightweight joggers with an airbrushed finish will convince her to set aside those bulky cotton sweatpants she’s been living in. The material is incredibly breathable and soft like butter, which is why I basically live in these no matter the season. The elastic waistband has an interior drawcord to tighten and there are side slant pockets. I've had mine for about a year, and they've held up beautifully without any pilling after many washes.

For the WFH Mom

51. Lasko LP200 Desktop Air Purifier

Lasko

Give her a breath of fresh air with this quiet, timer-enabled device which screens out virus-sized particles, mold, pet dander, pollen, dust mites and other allergens—all down to 0.3 microns. It's very slim for such an impactful device for your health. It has a HEPA filter and is only 16 ounces, so it's easy to move around.

For the Bird Watcher

52. Uncommon Goods Glass House Bird Feeder

Uncommon Goods

This minimalist bird feeder can be hung from a tree or be suctioned onto the glass window next to her breakfast nook, the perfect spot to catch a view of all the bird varieties frequenting mom’s backyard. Bonus: If you attach it to glass, it also works as a squirrel deterrent—you know those critters always drive her mad. Make sure she follows the specific instructions on how to suction cup the feeder to the window so it doesn't fall off.

Best for the Early Riser

53. Hatch Restore 2 Sunrise Alarm Clock

Hatch

Help her gently wake to a custom glowing sunrise light designed to support healthy cortisol levels. It also includes a soft reading light without eye-straining blue hues. She can alter the colors, wake up times, sounds and more right from the app so she can customize it to her liking for an optimal wakeup. The clock also dims at night so it's not bright in the dark, but if she taps wherever on the clock it lights up so she can see the time. "WOW, it has been a game-changer. I wake up each morning in a better mood and not so groggy. It's been a great way to wake up and ease your wake up without getting jolted awake by your typical phone alarm," says one customer.

For the Yogi

54. Alo Yoga Warrior Mat

Alo Yoga

This heavy-duty mat feels extra padded, but you can still feel the floor to really grip. Made with ethically sourced natural rubber, no PVC or formaldehyde. We love the smoky quartz color because it’s a pretty pink that’s not going to show footprints when her pet trots over it. Plus, it's made with anti-odor technology so no matter how much you sweat on this bad boy, it will stay smelling new.

For the Mom Who Is On Her Feet All Day

55. Fit King Shiatsu Leg and Foot Massager

Fit King

Heated compression from toes to calves to relieve pressure and inflammation? I can't think of anything better. It's designed to compress and heat to release tension, soreness, muscle spasms and more, making it great for anyone who's on her feet all day chasing after kiddos. The boots are adjustable in size, and it's corded and connected to a remote, so she can easily adjust the settings as she uses it. Don't forget to use the $25 coupon before you add it to your cart, too.

For the Mom Who Wants a New Activity

56. Jiggy ‘Escape the City’ Puzzle

Jiggy

This particular design is the work of Claire Prouvost, a French, Dublin-based artist, illustrator and muralist, but mom will love any of JIGGY’s stunning designs, which look good in the jar or completed and hung on the wall. This puzzle is 800 pieces and comes in a reusable glass jar. It also has puzzle glue with a straight edge to spread it, so hanging it up is a breeze.

For the Mom Whose Purse Is a Catch-All

57. Cuyana Classic Easy Tote

Cuyana

This silhouette, made from pebbled and sustainably sourced leather, is big enough to hold all of her essentials (phone, laptop, lipstick, etc.) but won’t weigh her down. It's got an internal side pocket but is otherwise completely open and spacious to be organized (or disorganized) as she desires. There are two sets of straps—a shorter and longer pair—so she can adjust the length to her liking.

For The Kitchen Neat-Freak

58. Food52 Over-the-Sink Drying Rack

Food52

Senior Editor Dana Dickey was surprised at how sleek and chic an over-sink drying rack could be, but this retractable, silicone-coated device is unlike any other kitchen helper she has experienced. Not only that, but the rack can be used for rinsing veggies and as a trivet. It's dishwasher safe and the silverware cups have holes in the bottom to drain any water to avoid any yucky build up. The slats are a little wider than most drying racks to be able to prop up pot lids, too. Talk about versatile.

For the Mom Who Cherishes Memorabilia

59. Minted Classic Photo Calendar

Minted

You know what she wants? Some great pictures of her family, including the littlest members (yes, four-legged ones also). Give her 12 months of that with a calendar that's easy to drop-and-drag photos into, and that you can customize with important dates like the kids' birthdays, vacation dates and her own anniversary and birthday dates. Bonus: Minted lets you begin the calendar at any month during the year.

For the Step Counter

60. Google Pixel Watch

Google

She still signs her texts and prioritizes her daily steps, which is why this all-in-one smartwatch is exactly what she needs to sport on her wrist. It works with all Android phones, so no, she doesn’t have to have a Google Pixel to enjoy. She’ll love the Fitbit capabilities, not to mention ability to respond to text messages, manage her inbox and make payments all with a tap of the wrist.

For the Trendsetter

61. Polène Numero Un Bag

Polène

Since mom is always on the hunt for a new purse, why not surprise her with one from the “it” Parisian brand everyone is talking about. The Numero Un is Polène’s signature style, but there are a variety to choose from, depending on her needs. This one has a top handle and crossbody strap, and the front closure is magnetic.

For the Sentimental Mom

62. Artifact Uprising Brass & Wood Display Box

Artifact Uprising

Made of brass and hardwood, this photo box (which fits 5"x5", 4"x6” or 5"x7” pics) holds up to 50 beloved images that mom can rotate to her heart’s content. You can even customize the photo print paper type, and there's an option to add a border. Even better? Every time you visit, you can bring an updated set of pics.(Artifact Uprising’s photo printing services are unmatched.)

For the Note Taker

63. Rifle Paper Co. Stitched Notebook Set

Rifle Paper Co.

The art of print writing isn't dead yet, if you ask mom. This stitched notebook set (it comes with three) is perfectly sized for mom to carry around in her purse or keep on her desk for all her daily musings (or mom tasks), recipes, notes to self or anything else that she needs to jot down. Even better, you could splurge on a pretty set of pens.

For the Denim Obsessed

64. Mother The Rider Jeans

Mother

The branding alone couldn’t be more on point for Mother’s Day, but if you ask Senior Director, Special Projects & Royals and Cohost, Royally Obsessed Podcast, Rachel Bowie, it's the quality and the figure flattering design of these jeans that really stands out. "Mother isn’t cheap. The styles hover around $230 a pair. But if you live in your denim like I do, this is a sartorial investment you’ll be pleased with and proud of," she says.
