Moms do it all, especially during the holiday season, so showing your appreciation is important.
Whether your mom is an avid traveler, a homebody, who loves making her space cozy, or she enjoys hosting parties, we found something she’ll get plenty of use out of, from carryall tote bags to candle subscriptions to cheese boards. And if your sister, friend, or cousin is a new mom, we found practical gifts she’ll appreciate, too. Below, shop 15 gifts for mom from Amazon, Nordstrom, Lululemon, Uncommon Goods, and more.
Gifts for Mom: The Homebody
Vellabox candle subscription, starting at $12/month
Barefoot Dreams blankets, starting at $79
Book of the Month subscription, starting at $60
Eberjey Pajamas, starting at $103
If your mom enjoys staying home this time of year, she’ll love cuddling up on the couch with Barefoot Dreams blankets, which have earned the seal of approval from celebrities like Chrissy Teigen, Kate Hudson, and Jennifer Garner. For bookworms, give them a subscription to Book of the Month, which delivers a book of their choice in the mail for just $13 to $18 per month.
Vellabox
Another great gift that keeps on giving is Vellabox, a candle subscription, which you can customize based on your mom’s favorite scents. Not only will she receive a seasonal candle from different artisans in nice cloth bags each month, but boxes also include a lifestyle item like hand cream or wick trimmers.
All of the candles come in sleek brown jars, so they’ll match any home’s aesthetic, and your mom will be excited each time the package arrives on her doorstep. Subscriptions start at as little as $12 per month, which is cheaper than many individual candles you might purchase.

Eberjey
You might consider pajamas an “unoriginal” gift idea for mom, but she’s bound to get so much use out of them, especially this winter when she's likely getting into bed earlier. Eberjey sleepwear looks and feels high-end and ranges in styles from nightgowns to pants and shorts with matching button-downs. This long pajama set comes in 17 colors and earned the coveted title of one of Oprah’s Favorite Things in 2018.

A practical tote bag is key for keeping all of your essentials organized when traveling, and, with multiple interior and exterior zippered compartments and pockets, the MZ Wallace Metro Tote fits the bill. The brand recently sent PEOPLE shopping writer Alyssa Grabinski the tote, and she claims that her mom was “so obsessed, [she] ended up getting her the same bag for her birthday a few weeks later.” This is a pricey gift for mom, but it will change her travel game for years to come.
