As rewarding as being a mom can be, it's often pretty thankless — which is what makes finding the right gift for mom this Mother's Day the best way to show just how much you value all that she does. The only problem? Finding the *perfect* gift for your mom can be extremely challenging, especially when most moms drop the classic "I don't need anything" line when you ask what they want this year — but don't worry, that's where we come in.
We spent hours combing through products, talking to other moms, and rounding up editor favorites to curate our list of the best gifts for moms. Whether she's in need of some relaxation with a unique pair of microwavable slippers, lives for a DIY project, or is desperately in need of a digital picture frame to display all of those photos stored on her phone, these gifts for mom will show her how much you appreciate her being your biggest champion. With interests including everything from gardening, books, beauty, and everything in between, we found the best gifts for every mom, regardless of your budget.

Cat and Mouse Kitchen Accessories
If your mom loves something kitschy, these critter-inspired kitchen accessories will delight her. Plus, they’ll protect her hands while cooking. In this three-piece set, Mom will get skillet handles and a matching trivet.

TheraFace Pro
You might be familiar with brand Therabody for its life-changing Theragun, but did you know they also make this face massager? It can help relax your facial muscles with the percussive technology that the Theragun is known for (with gentler action, of course).
Integrating it into Mom’s beauty routine can help her relieve tension in the face, jaw, neck, and head. Its microcurrent light therapy can also tone and tighten skin, firm and build collagen, and stimulate to reduce wrinkles.

Mom loves to garden, but are her tools old and rusty? Replace her garden set with this one, which comes with 11 heavy-duty stainless pieces made to last and designed ergonomically. In the kit, you’ll get tools for digging, weeding, pruning, watering, and transplanting.
This gift also comes with a waterproof gardener’s apron that features multiple pockets only the most organized of gardeners can appreciate, like your mom!
‘Being Your Favorite Child’ Candle
Best given to Mom in front of your snarky siblings, this candle is our favorite novelty pick on the list. Not only is it wonderfully scented, its sense of humor speaks volumes. Everyone in the family will laugh — if they’re not ultra-sensitive, that is. Let’s hope everyone can take a joke on Mother’s Day.
Stardust Round Blue Light Blocking Reading Glasses
While your mom refuses to admit she can read just fine, you can’t help but notice her squinting when reading menus, newspapers, books, and more. It’s time. Get her reading glasses.
If she’s not as jazzed about needing them, these Peepers by PepperSpecs will entice her because they are so stylish. Mom will use them more like a fashion accessory than a utility (wink wink).
Plush Velvet Travel Jewelry Organizer
If your mom is traveling a lot these days — maybe even to see you if you don’t live in the same state — she’ll need a handy jewelry case and organizer to throw into her luggage to house her precious earrings, necklaces, rings, and more.
This velvet container is luxe without the price tag. We love the various compartments and the fact that it comes with a sweet mirror for quick face checks when needed.
Personalized Wine Barrel of Memories

It can be personalized with your family name, or simply Mom’s name. It’ll be the new tradition your family has been waiting for. Cheers!

Storybook DIY Kit
When Mom opens this gift, she will squeal, “How charming!” If you have a mom who is quite the storyteller and avid reader, this gift will bring her and her reading nook joy. After the 3D wooden puzzle is created (by Mom or you), it can be used to illuminate a spot on her bookcase. It comes with LED lights, which will require two AAA batteries.

Arizona Big Buckle Faux Fur Sandals
If Mom's footwear game needs some help, these stylish Birkenstock slip-ons are needed. They’re crafted with a leather upper and feature a cozy faux fur insole for added comfort.

Red Light Therapeutic Face Mask

It also aims to reduce fine lines, fix uneven skin, and ward of wrinkles. If mom integrates it into her beauty routine, she’ll reap the benefits — and maybe she’ll let you borrow it too. (Wink wink.)
The warming sensation of this gadget can also give her a much needed boost in mood, not to mention a nicer complexion.
Pure Silk Pillowcase

Electric Decanter
For the mom who appreciates the finer things, this electric wine aerator will help her get the most out of her evening glass of wine (or two glasses — we don’t judge). With one touch, this aerator will oxidize or “wake up” the wine, brightening and heightening the flavor in every sip.
World Coffee Tour
This gift for Mom contains 16 expertly curated coffees, from Latin America (known for chocolatey rich flavors) to Africa (more fruit-forward) to Sumatra (earthy) and everywhere in between! Choose from a variety of roasts including light, medium, dark, espresso, decaf, or a combination of them all. Available whole-bean or ground.

Charcuterie Board
In general, giving kitchen items can be iffy on Mother’s Day, but who doesn’t appreciate a good charcuterie board? Made of bamboo, it comes with everything she’ll need to put out the perfect spread, including four cheese knives and utensils (stored in a neat little drawer!), three slate labels and white markers, a wine opener, and a carrying bag.
Programmable Air Fryer
Ensure that your mama lives a long, healthy life with an air fryer that'll encourage her to enjoy all of her favorite fried foods without any of the added oil or guilt. This 4-in-1 unit can also be used for roasting, reheating, and dehydrating, so the cooking possibilities in the kitchen are pretty much endless.
Half Moon Teapot
This unique teapot comes with a fine mesh stainless steel infuser, perfect for loose-leaf teas (but we won’t tell if you use a teabag). Or toss in a flowering tea and watch it “bloom/brew” through the dishwasher-safe, heat-resistant glass.

Carver WiFi Digital Picture Frame
This is what I asked for this Mother's Day. I just want to display my pictures easily, and the Aura lets you do it with the ease of a few clicks. Choose the pics you want, and they're sent right to the frame. I want a few of these, actually.
Custom Pop Art Paint by Numbers
There is something so fun and relaxing about a paint-by-number kit. It's like a very cool adult coloring book. With this version, you send in a picture, and it's customized into a pop art style paint-by-number. We love the idea of sending in a pic of baby or child, and maybe even adding the Audible membership for them to listen to as they paint?
7-Piece Yoga Set
Give mom a little bit of calm with a small side of oneness with the universe with this great yoga set. No matter where she is in her practice, the comfy mat, blocks, strap, and towel will help her bring it to the next level (or just really enjoy her savasana).
I Love My A*shole Kids Socks
These socks are hilarious. Many moms would laugh their butts off and wear them proudly if their kids got these for them. (Not that I think that most kids are a-holes. At least not all of the time.)
It's an especially hilarious Mother's Day gift for adult kids to give their mom in front of their siblings.
Nag Champa Agarbatti Incense Sticks
If she's tried every diffuser and incense, we know she'll love this original temple incense. Everyone seems to love the calming scent. Bonus: No open flame to worry about around the littles. It's an inexpensive gift for mood enhancement.
QuietComfort 45 Bluetooth Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones
Sometimes, moms just need to zone out and chill. Noise-cancelling headphones can do just that. The QuietComfort headphones by Bose are easy to wear, stylish, and the sound quality is pretty fantastic. Our tech editor, Stefan Vazharov also notes that the call quality on the Bose headphones is rock solid, so Mom can use these on her WFH setup as well.
Book Tote
A fancy purse is nice, but sometimes it takes a tote to get the job done, especially if she's coming to or from the bookstore or library (because you know she’s not leaving with just one book). This bag from Kate Spade is both functional and is a stylish ode to her love of the written word.
