Your "I Don't Need Anything!" Mom Needed These Gifts, Like, Yesterday

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

“Oh, honey, I don’t need anything,” says your mother—partially because she’s so sweet and self-effacing...and partially because (*peeks into her closet*) she basically already bought everything she could possibly want. 🤦 Anyone who appreciates pretty things is someone after my own heart—but that does complicate the gift-giving process. She already owns an Our Place pan, every trending kitchen organizer, and 10,000 of the best-smelling candles ever...what else is there left to buy?! Spoiler alert: there's plenty, and you can shop all those options below.

Here's the thing—your mom, bless her soul, might not be as up-to-date on things like cool new tech or beauty products. That’s where you come in! It’s time to put your youthful mind and my years of shopping expertise together to find something that’ll make your mom who has everything ~gasp with delight~ when she unboxes her custom house portrait/Chanel lipsticks/porcelain plates/sleep-tracking ring. Because yes, it is possible to take her by surprise this holiday szn. Ready to crush it? Keep scrolling.
