65 Mother's Day Gifts That'll Make You Mom's Favorite Kid
Mom, man. She's the best. Always there with a chicken soup—either IRL or for the soul—when you're down. Always eager to listen and dispense wise words when you're lost. Always reminding you to apply sunscreen when you head out. And probably still haranguing you about eating vegetables. Needless to say, you're already getting teary just thinking of her.
So call her. Visit her. Let her know you’re thinking of her. And do one better by buying her a special, unique gift whenever celebratory occasions arrive—her birthday, Mother’s Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving, or just because. She might act tough and not ask for much. She might act like she has everything. But deep down, there’s something awesome you can buy for her that'll put a smile on her face.
It's up to you. But we've got some exciting ideas about what to get mom for Mother's Day. Maybe it's a cool new gadget she'll use everyday. Or something she'll love to eat, drink, and wear. Or a stylish update to her living room. So take a look at our 65 best gifts for mom to make her proud and cement your spot as mom's favorite kid.
