The 63 Best Gifts for Mom, from $8 to $430 (Even Though She’s Totally Priceless)

A refined take on the essential work bag, this luxe-but-affordable (and sustainably-made) tote from Bostanten comes with everything a busy mom needs to sail through her day. Think thoughtful organizational compartments, reasonable amount of space, an adjustable strap and a secure zipper closure (for keeping her most-needed items safe). Even better, it comes in a range of classic colors. (I'm obsessed with the blue hue.)

If she has a hard time turning her brain off after a long day of keeping the family in check, she needs this Newgo sleep mask. The soft gel mask is lightly weighted to help induce relaxation and alleviate anxiety so that she can more easily drift off to a peaceful slumber.

She’s got everything she needs...except this gorgeous silk pillowcase. It’s a little touch of luxury that will help reduce bedhead and help prevent her skin from being creased or tugged as she sleeps, which can help reduce visible signs of aging. The case also comes with the same rich silk sheen.

This ingenious set—which includes an aluminum material made large trowel and a detachable canvas bag that holds five tools—will prove useful to veteran gardeners and newbies alike. Each tool is made with a silicone-grip and the weeder and weeding fork alone are worth the price of the whole set.

If mom loves to play hostess with the mostest, gift her a charcuterie board, which is a fan favorite of guests. These boards typically feature a range of different cured meats, and she can adjust the ingredients for different preferences. This one is made with two slide-out drawers and holds four different premium knives full of different sizes and shapes.

Several PureWow editors (this writer included) swear by this all-star beauty product from Ilia that is both a lip and cheek stain in one. It comes in a variety of hues and glides on nice and sheer, which will give the mom you gift it to a lovely pop of color and one that is moisturizing and makes her complexion radiate, too.

Sure society has adapted to the digital era, but there is something still quite sentimental when it comes to physical pictures. This, frame, in-particular is a watercolor portrait as it's hand-painted on paper, scanned to provide the printable file and printed on a special cotton paper that makes it a unique addition to any living room.

Maybe mom wants to study photography or finally write that novel. A subscription to MasterClass is the best way to help her get started. She’ll have access to over 200 courses (new ones are added every month) so she can pick and choose from a range of offerings and make her eagerness to learn a top priority throughout the year.

There are regular pillows, and then there are dog-themed pillows. Honestly, who wouldn't be won over by this absolutely adorable pillow? It comes in many different sizes (14-to-31 inches), and you can choose from either a whole body, only head or digital file in terms of how you want it stylized. Trust me, she will adore this.

A classic for good reason, medallion necklaces make a statement without being too over-the-top. This gold vermeil version has a chic 70s-inspired vibe that will look great with jeans and T-shirts or dressed up for mom’s night out. Plus, she’ll love wearing a loved one’s initial close to her heart. 

If mom is heavily into pickleball, grab her this super-chic pickleball bag, which is holds all of your essentials for the court. Per the brand, the tote features a top-handle, an optional adjustable shoulder strap that she can use if she wants to go hands-free, and a a nifty paddle-shaped front pocket with a zip closure that will keep all of her belongings secure. The quality is also amazing according to buyers, one of whom says: "This bag is well-made and very sturdy. It’s slightly off-white as opposed to bright white. I wish it had more interior pockets, otherwise it’s very roomy. The price was right. And doesn’t have printing all over it like many other bags I’ve seen."

Mom will appreciate how this duo includes one bright oil for drizzling, and one that is more specifically meant for frying. Not only are the bottles designed in a chic style, the oils will definitely make her meals (and the meals she makes for you) more flavorful.

PureWow staffers are full-on converts to the cult of before-bed topical magnesium, and I bet any sleep-deprived mom will appreciate the relaxation it promotes. Additionally, this formula contains anti-inflammatory arnica, so it does double duty as a lightly lavender-scented muscle rub.

Mom will love how easy it is to travel with this carryon weekender bag that’s big enough to fit all the essentials and then some. Details that make it extra-special? The bottom zip compartment for shoes, toiletries and other important items (everything from your hair dryer to a clutch). Also, the sturdiness and structure of the bag, which features an easy access opening to make packing—and unpacking—a breeze.

Tell her to strap it around the driver’s seat—or around her office desk chair.

Upgrade her kitchen gear with this streamlined set that’s designed to work together and takes up less storage space. Included in the set are three different size mixing bowls with lids, a juicer lid, a grater and a salad spinner and interior basket.

This pair of three-pound weights is balanced to distribute the resistance for a more comfortable workout. And they come in four beautiful colors (stone, blush, shine and punch), so she’ll want to keep them out rather than hide them away under the bed.

After taking a short style quiz, mom will sign up to get a one-time or periodic box of 12 items that are stylist-sourced, which she can shop piece by piece (you’ll gift a certain dollar amount, but there’s no monthly subscription cost, aka the fashion inspo is free). Her style choices are refreshed daily, and anything she returns can be shipped back at no cost.

Cell phone cross-bodies are trending, but it’s not just their style that makes them sing. They’re downright practical, which mom will love, thanks to their simplicity: Pop your phone in the holder and a couple of cards and cash, then sling the removable (and adjustable) cross-body strap across your bod. From there, you can snap a pic or send a text at a moment’s notice. Efficient and chic.

If you’re not familiar with Quince, the brand’s ethos is to produce high-quality items with less overhead/middlemen in order to offer better pricing—and this robe delivers on just that.
