Shopping for a Mother’s Day gift is one of those missions that’s sweet in theory but often a head-scratcher in practice. How do you genuinely honor someone so close to your heart on a holiday that can so easily veer into cliché territory?

We recruited Yahoo Life’s resident gift-giving pro Chassie Post, who always has her finger on the pulse of what shoppers are excited about. She handpicked ten Mother’s Day gifts guaranteed to wow anyone who receives them.

These gifts are gorgeous to look at, fun to use, and easy to cherish. Best of all, none of them break the bank—and each one can be ordered online and shipped directly to mom in time for her big day.

The Better Skin Co. Mother’s Day Set

This pampering skincare set includes a tub of age-defying Mirakle Cream, handcrafted with all the ingredients that top a dermatologist’s wish list, like algae, shea butter, and hyaluronic acid. It also comes with a jar of Better Skin Supers Shield serum, which guards mom’s skin from environmental pollution, blue light, and other everyday youth-zappers. A complementary pink sequin makeup bag is that little extra something.

Zola Bakes Rainbow Cookies - Assorted Fillings

Here’s a treat that’s bound to color mom’s day. These artfully baked rainbow cookies are almost too gorgeous to eat—almost. The fluffy, layered confections come in an assortment of three irresistible fillings: raspberry, apricot, and Nutella. Then they’re topped with a layer of dripping chocolate and sprinkled with edible confetti. The party officially starts when these goodies show up at the door.

Baublebar Create Your Own Bracelet

Mama, mommy, nana—whatever name mom goes by, you can custom-design a bracelet she’ll sport on her wrist with pride. These glamorous letter kits come with either plain gold-plated or pavé-lined gold-plated letters, which are actually studded with glass stones. The hypoallergenic jewelry is the perfect accessory for fans of statement jewelry.

UGG Cozette Genuine Shearling Slide

Just look at that plush shearling lining, those cushioned soles with a rubber non-slip grip—mom is going to go wild over these slippers by UGG. They provide the perfect support for all-day wear, and that cozy wool will make her never want to take them off anyway. Choose from four colors including three neutral solids and a sassy leopard print.

K-Mini Single Serve Coffee Maker

Does mom savor her morning cup of joe? This colorful little gem will sit on her countertop just waiting to brighten her mornings. At only five inches wide, this buzz-worthy Keurig won’t take much space either. It accepts all of her favorite K-Cup pods and produces one 6- to 12-ounce cup of piping hot coffee each time.

Phenomenal Mother T-Shirt

This is a t-shirt with meaning. Named after the Maya Angelou poem “Phenomenal Woman,” Phenomenal Woman Action Campaign brings awareness to social causes that bolster human rights and female empowerment. This ‘Phenomenal Mother’ top, advocated by socially conscious celebrities like Jane Fonda and Padma Lakshmi, is a wearable emblem to any mom who goes above and beyond.

Photo Collage Personalized 30x60 Beach Towel

Whether on a trip to the shore, an afternoon at the pool, or just a day lounging in the yard, mom can carry along her loved ones courtesy of this customized beach towel. Upload one photo, and it’ll be emblazoned onto this 30” x 60” cotton-polyester blend blanket. It’s unique, cozy, and machine-washable, so it’s a pleasantly convenient addition to mom’s linen closet.

Azalea Bonsai 

Mom has always been unique and quirky, and as time goes on she seems to flourish and grow in beautiful ways. This tiny tree might just be her plant doppelgänger. The Japanese bonsai is a beloved symbol of peace, harmony, and balance, so it’s worth pride of place on mom’s windowsill. In spring, the tree sprouts pretty pink blooms, and the rest of the year it sports lush, green leaves.

Happy Socks Mother’s Day Gift Box

Everyone knows the joke about getting socks as a gift—but these aren’t those kinds of socks. These are Happy Socks, and they deliver on their name with glee. The Mother’s Day Gift Box includes three cotton-blend pairs that honor the superhero mom truly is, with comic book graphics and bold colors that let her character shine through right down to her toes.

Clear Rainbow Chaise Lounger

This candy-colored raft reminds us of a Lifesaver—but not the kind you typically find in the water. As mom kicks back on this rainbow confection, the sun’s rays reflect a prism of hues into the water below. The only way her Mother’s Day could get more luxurious and cheerful is if someone served her a cocktail while she floated on this ergonomic lounger.
