What House Beautiful Editors Are Gifting Their Moms This Mother's Day
All moms deserve gifts on the regular but picking the perfect present for the woman who has truly done it all can be tricky. So if you’re wondering, “What are the best gifts for mom?” consider this your jumping-off point. You don’t necessarily need to get her the most luxurious and expensive gift to demonstrate how much you appreciate her. Instead, opt for something meaningful that you know she’ll like as much as she’ll use.
From a foldable and portable keyboard that plugs right into her iPhone to what some may consider the world’s softest hoodie, there are a lot of worthy options to consider. Whether you’re shopping for Mother’s Day or just want to surprise her with a little something you think she may enjoy, you’re bound to find something special on our carefully curated list. We even tested a few of these goodies out, so you can rest assured that they’re House Beautiful-approved. For instance, there’s a sandalwood-based fragrance that blends with your body’s natural oils to produce your own signature scent. We also included a mini ice roller that feels like a professional facial, a custom tote made of recycled sails, and a weighted sleep mask that lulls you to sleep.
No matter what you decide to get for the woman who raised you (or your mom friends), you may even be tempted to snag one for yourself. After all, do you need a reason to treat her or yourself? We think not.Soumi Sarkar - 2/36

Weighted Silk Eye Mask
