59 Mother’s Day Gifts to Cement Yourself as Mom’s Favorite Kid

Mom really is the best. Always there with a chicken soup—either IRL or for the soul—when you're down. Always there, no matter what, to listen and dispense wise words when you're feeling lost. Always reminding you to apply sunscreen when you head out, and probably still lecturing you about eating enough vegetables. So it almost goes without saying, Mother's Day is her time to shine. Call her, visit her, tell her how much she means, but please do more than the bare minimum. Surprise her with a thoughtful gift that'll put a smile on her face. Because even if she swears she doesn't need anything, this is a woman who deserves the world (or, at the very least, one of the best presents for Mom that money can buy).

It's up to you, but we've got some unique ideas about what to get Mom for Mother's Day this year. Maybe it's a cool new gadget she'll use every day. Maybe it's a gourmet snack or luxe kitchen tool the foodie in her will love. Or a stylish update to her living room. Look, we don't know the woman—but you do, and whatever her hobbies and interests are, one of these 59 gifts is sure to make her happy.

AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)

If she's still using wired headphones, it's time to consider an upgrade for her.

Besides holding any cheeses, meats, crackers, or spreads she picks up from the grocery store, this board hides a set of knives so no one's digging in with their fingers. Moms who host will understand.

Mom's all about ambience—that tranquil, idyllic ambience. And what better way to create that ambience than with this vibey lantern emitting a cozy circle of light sans burning kerosene?

Toaster

A Balmuda state-of-the-art toaster that really toasts—from bread to sandwiches to pizza to pastries, with clever steam tech and heat control—should do the trick.

Always Pan

Show Mom the power of frying, steaming, sautéing, saucing, searing, braising, boiling—and yes, serving—in one piece of cookware, courtesy of the viral all-in-one pan.
